There'd be times when we'd be practically the only school open in our district  |
That was us about a month ago. The president of our school decided we would be the only school in our district with school. When my teacher tried to tell us there were other schools open just to defend the president of our school, we showed him the school closings and he literally just ignored us because he didn't want to be wrong. And regardless, my school has 6 snow days and we've only used 4. They're afraid they'll have to add it onto the end of the year, but regardless, I go to a private school so we'd still get out like, a week-and-a-half before everyone else..... Schools can be so difficult sometimes. I don't understand why schools can't have up to a week of snow days. It just makes sense.

Is the inside of your school freezing too? Since it's cold outside you could just wear a hoodie over your uniform and then take it off at school, that's what I always did.

Yes, my uni is catholic-based so everything is sexist, double-moralist and middle age-like.

Oh and this was something SUPER stupid my school did after I graduated. New rule: Anyone that was late in the morning for first period HAD to be sent down to the office and get a slip signed. This just caused huge line-ups to the office, making students spend their entire first period waiting for a slip instead of learning in class.

We've never been allowed to bring our backpacks in class. 
Girls can't wear tights pants or skirts (guys also)
We can't put our pants in our boots (reasoning is apparently we can hide a gum, I live in Canada, and it makes our ass look bigger if we do put our pants IN our boots.)
I can go on and on but lemme not.

Seriously, if you live in a place that gets multiple feet of snow every single winter, you should be allowed more snow days. I mean it just makes sense right? And to make it even worse, there was this one school in my district that would get school off for the littlest things. Like, if the weather was doing anything, they'd get the day off. Even if it didn't snow, if there was even a slight possibility that it could, they'd get the day off. I swear that school would be closed for half the year because if it was possible for them to get the day off, they'd take it

I forgot to add that because my school is Catholic, it doesn't allow you to bring guests from other schools if they are of the same sex. You have to fill out a permission slip for them to attend the dance, which is stupid, and then give it to the school's secretary so she can fax it over to the school and whatever, but they don't allow you to bring guests of the same sex, even as friends.

EXACTLY! Finally... Someone understands my pain. The president of my school gets pissed when people even ask him for snow days, and I think that's part of why we don't get as many, but still.... If it's a safety hazard or a matter of everyone else except us having the day off, that's absolutely ridiculous. It's really unfair when other schools are too lenient on things like that and take advantage of it.

I remember when I was in middle school, one of the policies was that we HAD to tuck our shirts in (even during gym class)! Like, REALLY!?

Mess, you guys had to wear hats. At my school hats were not allowed to be worn indoors.

During lunch we cant be anywhere in the school besides the lunch room and the library 
no lounge, no hallway. And no leaving the campus in the middle of the say ever.
also, our buses start leaving like 5 minutes after the last bell 
if you take more than a minute at your locker. There is a high probability you will miss your bus. Its extrenely stressful becayse my last class is on the second floor and my locker is up 3 crowded flights of stairs. This isnt official policy but its the worst

At my school we signed in and out of the classroom when going to the washroom. I think it;s better than waiting in a line at the washroom itself.

I had 15 minutes between my classes when I was in high school. I didn't know you could drop a class in high school, is that a private school or something?

Oh not being allowed to wear a hoodie in class even when it's -20 and I live in Canada so 80% of the school year is spent at -20 and the school can't control the heating, It's the district that decides when to heat up the school and they almost never do it.
