They banned Yo-Yos a week after they had a special group come in and do an assembly with Yo-Yos and sell them to the students.

In year four and five I had a teacher who was very strict in teaching proper handwriting. The problem was she was old as hell, and her version of proper handwriting was full cursive rather than simplified "running writing".  Note things like the z's and capital G, J and Q that are unrecognizable by their print letterforms. Anyone who was in her class internalized this writing style dutifully and unquestioningly until it became reflex. Then we got to year six and had different teachers who questioned why we all insisted on this inefficient ornate style. By the time I got to high school I was being told off by teachers for wasting my writing time and their ease of reading with my swirly bullshit, and they literally couldn't recognize the uncommon letterforms as many had never learned them.

Our school had teachers who ranged from those who would overlook you smoking in the school sheds, to those who would belt gently caress out of you with a tawse simply for existing. e: just to be clear, "I will batter gently caress out of you because you drummed your pencil off the desk/passed a note/you're a poor and I deserve to be teaching a better standard of pupil/I am bored and don't like the look of your face etc".

I learned cursive and my handwriting is poo poo but I find that far easier than printing letters.value-brand cereal posted:Having to do Intruder Alert practices and if you didn't crawl under your nasty gross desk like all the others the entire class got punished. Oh jesus, this. I loathe the concept of "one person hosed up so EVERYBODY IS PUNISHED so much. One of the most egregious examples of this was one time in grade school we all had to stand in single file lines and wait until we could be freed to run around on the blacktop or whatever. The one kid who couldn't shut the gently caress up made the recess monitor or teacher before lunch break hold the entire class in the line starting with "NOW YOU HAVE ONLY 29 MINUTES OF RECESS" (30 minutes was the norm.) Whenever one of the students loudly moaned in protest, the teacher ticked it down one minute. "NOW YOU ONLY HAVE 28 MINUTES, 27 etc" until it actually got down to 5 minutes of free time for that day. I seriously do not know what that is supposed to teach, but I imagine it sure as hell didn't teach students to speak up on the fear they'll bring the entire ship down for being the hero.

Sick teachers would sometimes not have their lesson plans in order, so they'd leave a bunch of sheets with math/word problems printed out for the sub to distribute. If you called it busy work the sub would say "you still have to do it, it's going to be graded". If you didn't do the busy work, you got punished. At the end of class, the whole sheaf of papers would be in the trash. Finish early? Put your head down on your desk.

In grade school they still did corporeal punishment, "hacks" from a flat wooden paddle with holes in it. I was a teacher's pet of my weirdo 4rd grade male teacher but still got in trouble for talking in class often. Finally one day he'd had enough I guess and took me outside to give me some. I was scared and embarrassed and in tears (my dad was pysically abusive) so when he was finished I spat at him, " You enjoyed it didn't you." Holy poo poo That turned out to be the right thing to say lol He freaked and never did it again.

I had this happen to me in highschool. we were in a computer electronics class and some clever hooligan decided to type "Format c/:*.*" or whatever the dos command is that deletes the entire OS. No one saw who did it and when the teacher found out he went nuclear and forced the class to stay in for lunch as he yelled at us to tell him who did it. No one knew who it was so we sat there for an hour. I offered to reinstall DOS if he would stop yelling and let everyone leave, but he wouldn't have it. we were not trusted with the computers in that class again. The teacher photocopied a bunch of busy work on paper for us to do the rest of the year.

My high school had lots of kids smoking in bathroom stalls, which I guess is pretty standard for teenagers at the time. My school’s brilliant plan to combat this was to rip the doors off of all the stalls in every bathroom (at least in every boys bathroom; no idea if they did the same thing in the girls bathrooms, but I can’t imagine they did). So if you wanted to/needed to take a dump at school, you had to do it in an open stall without a door

None of my schools ever had doors on the stalls and I just figured it was so kids couldn't lock them and crawl out from under it so that nobody else could use the stall.

I got in trouble along with some other kids for making a mess throwing paper towel balls into the bathroom trashcan basketball style. Punishment was detention which scared me a lot since I didn't often get in trouble. I had to take a note home to my parents letting them know why, and they were both like "wtf your teachers are ridiculous". That was my first taste of anti authority.

I went to a Christian School for a few years in early grade school and a common punishment was being made to miss recess and instead stand in a dark classroom with the other bad kids and march in place while a teacher supervised and read or whatever. We'd get scolded if we fell out of step from one another. I remember marching with six or so other kids one time and a second teacher poked her head in to chat the first teacher up, and the supervising teacher remarked "don't you just love that sound" [of little children marching in unison]. That was another formative moment where I learned that people can enjoy control and that's not good.

Writing a bat file to open goatse after 15 minutes and putting that in startup got a bunch of people in trouble. A letter went home to everyone's parents about the website. Yes my high school goatsed every parent. After a few months they figured it out. The pro strat was checking the startup folder cutting the bat file to the C:\ drive reboot and then put it right back in for the next sucker. I used to change the homepage of the browser to goatse or whatever else was shocking at the time before leaving the computer. In elementary school, we had to tuck in our shirts because they thought untucked shirts meant you were in a gang. Getting told to tuck in my shirt was a daily occurrence and I'd immediately untuck as soon authority was out of sight.

When I went to school overseas, hall passes weren't a thing. You were allowed to be where-the gently caress-ever on campus at pretty much anytime. In sixth grade we began getting loads of homework, so I started using my lunch hour to knock out one or two of my 7 daily assignments in the hallway or library. I wasn't a super hungry kid anyway and this felt like a better use of my time. When I started school in the States, the concept of skipping lunch was alien. Like, my teachers couldn't process it. I'd have to get library passes for it every day and it was a 50/50 on whether they'd arbitrarily refuse me. So I just started forging their signatures onto passes. Let me do my goddamn homework, you assholes.

I always thought it was cool how my group of AP class friends were allowed to do whatever we wanted during the lunch hour, including messing around on teachers' computers. At the time I thought it was because they knew they could trust us not to do anything bad, but in hindsight i'm pretty sure it was more that we were extremely annoying and they wanted to spare the normal kids from our presence.

My high school would not allow students who were on lunch break to be anywhere but: *Cafeteria *Library *Courtyard in front of cafeteria *Off campus fetching food Due to intense bullying, I avoided the cafeteria and courtyard. I didn't have a car and wasn't allowed to be given a pass to leave campus for lunch. I didn't go to library because too many other students would fill all available spots. So, I would just go to my next classroom on my schedule and sit down in the hall by the door. I was one of those quiet goth kids that would be engaged with a pair of headphones and a drawing project. I never spoke loudly in the hall, never caused trouble, and kept to myself. For whatever reason, a school administrator hated the fact I sat out there, no matter how I tried to explain my situation and that I wasn't doing anything disruptive. He was a bigass man, built like a loving brick shithouse, and barked at the top of his lungs to GET BACK TO THE AREA YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. I mean it was overkill for my timid personality at that age. What a dickhead. Defining moment: After I gathered my backpack and started down the hall, a different student had been hiding and heard the administrator. About halfway down the hall, he adds IF I SEE YOU AGAIN YOU GET A REFERRAL. The hiding kid yelled "I don't care!". In retrospect, that was a Golden Ownage Burn of epic timing, and it makes me laugh now, but goddamn if that didn't make him blow his wig. Keeping students corralled in a small area was a dumb rule and the Zero Tolerance policy on it was even more dumb. Said administrator ended up being a target for a senior prank that involved photoshopped porn photos with his head on the actor(and the lady porn actor had a counselor's head) and a million copies roamed our school for the rest of the semester. Colossal amounts of butthurt were had.
