bogus school rules, << Options

[WickedDreamer]

So, I'm currently writing an article about bogus school rules and how schools can sometimes be too strict. So far I only have two bogus rules though:

• my school has a complete ban on iPods, if they are caught on campus they are immeadiately taken away until a parent can come and pick them up. I understand not having them on in class (duh) but the entire campus? It takes me ten minutes to walk to school and it can get so boring without my music!
• At one school three girls were suspended for saying the word vagina at an open mic night thing they had, the suspension was taken away but still... it's like getting suspended for saying arm... or leg... or nose.

Does anyone else here have to endure extremely stupid rules? If so, can you tell me and your high school and state?

Thanks so much!

Ahhhhhh. I could go on forever, but this is just some of it.

- Jewelry for girls: Only one hole in each ear, gold studs only. Plain gold/silver watches. No necklaces, rings, bracelets, anklets, etc.
- Hair for girls: No unnatural hair colors. No braids. No highlights. No chunky (emo) bangs. Hair has to be parted in the middle, not over to the side (again, the emoish look).

Say God's name in vain? Either automatic suspension or 15 demerits. Get caught cursing? Automatic suspension. Late for school? You get chewed out in the office. Forget to bring your Bible to chapel? DEATH.

No sitting on the floor. No Ipods. No cellphones. No personal contact... which includes holding hands or hugging. Guys and girls cant sit at the same table at lunch or chapel. And if you forget to bring a lunch, and dont have the $6 to buy one, you get to charge a YUMMY peanut butter and jelly sandwich and water. So instead of just letting you charge a normal lunch, which is fast food, you get to pay them $6 for a crappy homeade sandwich. God I've had that happen so many times.

There's not very many rules we can break with clothing, since we wear uniforms. Polos must be long enough to hit the elbow, no shorter. Must be tucked in at all times... cant be pulled out, even if its still tucked in. Skirts must touch the ground, when bent down on your knees. Must wear correct knee highs and penny loafers. Backpacks must be the kind from the school uniform shop. No "unnatural" looking purses - must be normal colors.

LMAO.
Thank goodness this is my last year.

OH!!! That was like my school since I went to a Christian private school too for 3 years. Now I'm at a public high school...biggest change ever.

Anyway, dances--if 2 couples are caught freaking (mind you, I got a public hs with 3200+ kids) then the lights are turned on, if 5 couples are caught freaking then the entire dance is cancelled, no refunds. This happened to our Winterball. :d That's it really...
