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

Hahahah the gently caress? :how:

I basically spent a year of high school holding my dumps until I got home, then during junior year my friend pointed out that the nurses’ office had a single-use bathroom with a door you could close and lock, and they’d let you use it if you asked them.

My wife also told me that the graduating class before hers got in trouble for their senior prank, which involved jamming like 20,000 plastic spoons into the school’s front lawn so they were standing straight up. The administration freaked the gently caress out over this and started angrily threatening to cancel prom and were even trying to make sure that the kids who did it wouldn’t be allowed to graduate, but they backed down when the parents collectively told them to gently caress off

American schools are really dumb

Besides the bullshit about not being able to leave campus in high school (you could leave if you were legally an adult, but they accumulated as absences, even if it was just for lunch or your classes were done for the day), the teachers and administration were bathroom nazis. Most of the time there was only one unlocked bathroom in the building (in the name of stopping smoking) and there typically wasn't enough time to circle the building to figure out which one in between classes. In some cases, once classes started they would *all* be locked, which I'm pretty sure wasn't legal.

Some rear end in a top hat teachers wouldn't let people leave class to use the toilet at all, even if they obviously really needed to go. Others would give the bathroom pass to the troublemaker kid at the beginning of the class as a way to get rid of them, but then they wouldn't let anyone else go until said troublemaker returned with the pass, which, of course, wasn't until the very end of class.

Denying people the use of the toilet isn't allowed in actual prisons, but for some reason it's ok in US schools.

I swear to god the teachers in my elementary school got off on denying kids trips to the bathroom, especially my 4th grade teacher. God forbid you asked to go to the bathroom too soon after another kid went, she’s reflexively reply with “no! It’s just monkey see, monkey do! :mad: “ No you batty bitch, I just don’t want to piss my pants

My high school had to frantically cancel and reschedule our junior prom, since they had originally scheduled it for April 20th and I guess no one in the administration had heard about the significance of that date until like a month before :v:

Did other states have bans on students wearing clothing that had any brand name associated with beer or tobacco? A friend of mine had a jacket and there was a small Marlboro logo on it and he was told to either turn it inside out or not wear it.

Not sure about tobacco (probably wasn’t allowed now that I think about it), but alcohol was a definite no-no, which led to a funny incident in middle school where a kid wearing a shirt that said “ABSOLUT HOCKEY” had to turn it inside-out. I don’t even think there was a vodka bottle on the shirt anywhere haha
