I go to a secondary school (high school), and we aren't even allowed to leave the school grounds at diner :shock:

I'm in Year 12 now so I can basically do whatever the hell I want as long as I turn up to lessons, it's great I take my proper lessons seriously but they make us do 1 lesson of general RE a week, they say it'll give us University points, but it's the funniest lesson ever. It's like a kids lesson, we were given a table with the headings, crime commited, why?, what punishment would you gives?, why give this punishment?, and the only crime we found was a suicide bombing, great, crime blowing self up, reason, for their God, punishment...hmm lets think, they're already blown to pieces...not really much that I can do to punish them.

 

Then we were told to list the alphabet and think of a crime that corresponds to each letter, that was the great part, I mean what crime can you put for z? Zebra sniffing of course, seriously some of the things we came up with were great and I'm going so off-topic it's unbelievable sorry.

Okay this is a really lame rule, so I went to all the trouble of making a map of my school on MS Paint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notice the Red Areas? I am in 8th grade, which is pretty much shifting between those classrooms in red the whole day. When we go to lunch, we are denied access to the red pair of doors. It really is an annoyance having to walk another 100 feet down and then 100 feet up to get to your table.

 

 

 

Why, you may ask, are we denied that entry? Our teachers do have some pride, after all; they reserve that door for their use only, and usually have someone stationed outside it at all times. Just to make sure nobody uses a shortcut.

 

Cafegymatorium, I see. And in Middle school? :XD: Anyways teachers always do things like that, it's really moronic. They should have made a door in the middle if they wanted a teacher-only door...

 

 

 

But a teachers-only does make a little sense. If the student-doors get jammed, as I'm sure they do, why should teachers wait in that mess? That's probably their reasoning.

A really basic map of my school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The reason we're given for why we're not allowed to go down the blue staircase is that the younger kids are coming up. Except from the map, you should be able to tell that the purple staircase would be better for the younger kids. And blue would be better for my grade. The brown dots are there to represent teachers. Yes, they take it so seriously that they post TWO teachers over there to make sure no one comes down. -.-

 

 

 

And as for where the staircase at the end of "NOTHING" hall goes...It leads to another small hallway, on the second floor. Not many people know about the hallway, and very few people know where it ends. The only reason my friends and I know is because it's the musical hallway, where band is. (And no, the maps are not to scale to each other. The map of the first floor is basically the left half on the third.

I guess my school is pretty cool.

 

 

 

We can wear hats where ever we want. Even during class. We can use cell phones at lunch and even between classes. Some teachers let us have them out during class as long as we dont use them. We can have our iPods out when ever we want as long as we dont use them during class. That is unless the teacher has something against it. We get 6 minutes between classes. After 2nd period, we get a "nutrition break" which means an extra 4 minutes between classes.

 

 

 

During PE, we just sit and talk to eachother for 10 minutes. Then we run a lap and (a 1/4 mile), do 20 sit ups and 15 pushups for another 10 minutes. After that we do lesson thing, which usualy consists of a sport. This quarter we're rotating between tennis, volleyball, and badmitten (sp?) for 20 minutes. The other 16 of the period consist of dressing, and walking between our activities.

 

 

 

 

 

Conclusion: My school is awesome.

 

 

 

Oh, and no body cares if you're walking through the halls during a class period. The only thing that happens is the occasional teacher (there are probably 5 in the school) that yell "Get to class!!!!". Other than that, the only thing that happens is we either get marked truant, or tardy. 3 tardies = detention, but none of the teachers actually follow that rule.

As of today, we are officially not allowed to tape someone to a desk. :(

My school won't sell soda but it will sell Powerade.

My school won't sell soda but it will sell Powerade.

 

 

 

My school forbade us (students) to sell coke because it was 'unhealthy' when they've got coke vending machines all over the school and several canteens that sell coke >.<

My school won't sell soda but it will sell Powerade.

 

This year our school got rid of all candy, all unhealthy chips, all soda, pretty much anything worth snacking on, gone. I think there's like one fat kid in a school of over 1400 males, and they took our snacks away. Heck, I'd wager most of the senior class is much more fit than I am.

 

 

 

God, if you're going to crusade against kids getting fat, do it in the right frikkin' school for Christ's sake.
