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!

kimmytree, at first I reading your post and I was like... dear God, I would slit my wrists... but you obviously go to a religious school. Is it a private school? Do you pay tuition for it... or rather do your parents?

The cool teachers let me keep my coffee =) They know what a caffeine-addict I am.

Hahah yeah, I've almost come to the point before where I've actually considered doing that. But yes, It's a Christian private school. I'm a Junior... and I've been there since 6th grade. It's approx. $10k a year for both me and my sister. After recent events with the school, my parents have decided to send us elsewhere. Not because of their rules, but just stupid crap that's been going on. And they're freaking tired of financially struggling to provide us with a better education... when in return we're not recieving one.

Yaaay. Public school here I come.

TEN GRAND?!??? That's more than what university's gonna cost me per year.
