Crazy School Rules

Posted on: February 5, 2013

When you enter a school, and put on a uniform it seems like you lose your basic human rights. Independence and self-expression are no longer acceptable. Whenever a teacher dislikes your attitude and appearance there always seems to be a school rule they can use to enforce their point. Do any of us really know our school rules? There is a mysterious force affecting so much of our school life but where is the justice behind them. Not even all rules are written, once a student is told that a rule exists it is treated as an unquestionable fact, but this is not always the case. It is important to understand which rules exist and which have just become so ingrained in the school psychology that they are treated as fact. Have you ever tried to get a hard copy of your schools rules? If not I would encourage you to try. We’ve all heard of some insane school rules: no smiling to yourself, no school bags and no holding hands (with people of the opposite gender two girls/boys is fine!) to name but a few. Please message us your school rules and let’s see if together we can change the way these rules are enforced.
