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!

Here's some stupid ones for you;;
1. NO HATS. Not after school, not before school. You can't even CARRY them around.
If they're seen, they're taken.
2. No Spaghetti Straps. They're to "showy".
3. No myspace. Understandable, but myspace doesn't REALLY hurt anyone.
4. No VAMPIREFREAKS. Understandable, BUT IT DOES NOT HURT ANYONE!!
5. No talk of homosexuals, or homosexual remarks, or homosexual anything. This also includes Bisexuals.
6. No MP3 players, cell phones, or anything electronic, unless you get permission.
Although, everyone sneaks in ipods, cell phones, and such.
7. No gum. But that's okay, i hate gum.
8. No backpacks until last period.
9. No BAGS to help you carry around books, and binders, and all that heavy stuff. And when i say 'bags', i mean stuff smaller that totes. The only 'bag' you're allowed to have, is a purse, and you still can't carry your books in their [even if it is big enough], because then it's considered a 'bookbag'!

My school is lame, period.
That's about it for now.
I'm sure they'll come up with another one soon enough.

Oh, and it's a middle school;;
Swift Creek Middle School.
