Annoying **** Your School Does

[NursePhantump]

Because let's face it most school districts (in america at least) really need to get their **** together. For example, mine gave me an entire summer school course on a class I didn't need. Most recently though I was told I passed Spanish when apparently I didn't so now I'm taking that instead of Space Science. So take the time here to rant about stupid decisions your school makes regarding yourself or just the rest of your student population.

Well anything I post would be past tense but really all schools and their wardrobe restrictions, like sure I understand if someone has like drug/booze labels or skantily clad women, or gang affiliation symbols and colors, those things yes, please stop children from wearing them, but if it's summer and a girl wants to wear shorts that are above her knee more power to her. If a girl wants to wear a tank top yes please do, it's hot as balls. But I have seen a guy wearing literally a naked woman on his shirt and a girl in his "group" of friends got taken to the principals office because she was wearing a short skirt, that was well within the "fingertip" length and it was just like, did you not see the fully naked girl on the shirt next to her? That stuff has always been so stupid. Also not penalizing teachers who act inappropriately. There was a teacher at my school who dated one of his students who was 17, the next year she graduated and they kept dating, but literally they were seen making out on campus and nothing was done about it. It was creepy cause he was in is 30s, but I mean, just don't date until she turned 18 and don't do anything on the campus and you'll be good, just don't freaking do that on campus. I am surprised he wasn't fired. I also had teachers who would publicly humiliate students, yell at them and then make them sit outside in freezing temperatures for the rest of class.

my school is ranked among the top 500 in the nation.
The problem is that our neighborhood is high income, so everyone is a douchebag.

Every semester at my college they're always doing some sort of construction work. It narrows the pathways and is pretty noisy sometimes. I just wonder if these changes are really necessary considering they had to cut off the university baseball and other programs because of financial issues.

My high school was very christian (and I'm not/was not). There was this one after school program that you can join called Discipleship (lol) basically where you and your friends (whoever you want to make the group with) are assigned to a teacher who facilitates or mentors your group and you talk about life and of course, being christian or whatever. Ok I'm not completely sure what it was about because I didn't join... but basically since there were so many teachers and students who were part of this program, a lot of them got really close and had these weird inside jokes and blatant favouritism with their students and students of Discipleship. I've had one teacher who was a group leader of my best friend straight up try and convert me to a christian and then when I refused politely to go to the meeting, she was a ***** to me the whole year. After I graduated (thank god) I heard that some kid at my school wanted to create the first LGBT club but he was turned down and because it didn't "represent the school" lol. Hopefully they're not still like that. They change teachers/administration there like dance partners.

Back when I was in college it was mainly annoying and poorly managed administrative stuff. None of my credits from high school were transferred even though they were supposed to be transferable. They had a REALLY terrible add/drop system. Oh and I took an elective class for my foundation year abroad during the summer after I made sure from my counsellor that it was ok to do so.. and they waited until my senior year to tell me that the class didn't count as a foundation class and I couldn't graduate until I took the damn freshman level class again (in the end they waived it for me but that was another long and tedious process that was completely unnecessary).

Ahhh ok /end rant. I'm so glad I'm not in school anymore.

My school consoler once called me a five year old in the middle of a mental break down does that count?

My old secondary school was awful. I wanted to study Japanese at A Level during year 12 and 13 along with another boy in my class. We were both really good at it and got A*s consistently, and were incredibly passionate about the subject, always getting involved and helping promote the subject to younger students. The school however have started transferring to a new exam system so were basically scrapping a lot of A Level subjects, including Japanese. I didn't want to take the new type of exam because it would have meant I'd have to carry on with Maths and a Science and I knew ultimately it would have made me so much more stressed out because I have always been awful at those subjects. Me and my friend did everything we could to try and convince the school to let us do Japanese but unfortunately they said no. I remember though we had a sixth form induction day during the summer holidays, and the headmaster gave a big speech and it was so funny how everything he said was a load of bull****. I remember he said something like "We always want our students to be able to study the subjects they want and go forth with their passions", and so on and so forth, and I sat there just laughing to myself because it was just a load of rubbish, they didn't care at all and have never cared. Eventually the headmaster told me why he chose not to run the Japanese class that year for me and my friend, and that was because the school "couldn't afford to run a class just for 2 students". The reason I found this so ironic and funny was because he was more than happy to run a Russian class (as part of the new exam style) for ONE person.

Oh and btw, this school was supposed to be a specialist in languages/language school. Anyway yeah, I'm still pretty bitter over it, if you can't tell.

my school staff is **** in general. most teachers don't even try and they're insane with the dress code. it doesnt even make sense - so i went to school wearing leggings that end right below my knee cap, and they told me to change into something else. they ran out of extra pants, so i was told to go to the locker room and wear the pants i wear for gym class. the ****ed up thing is that all i have in my gym locker is booty shorts, but they told me to change into that. so when i showed them what i was wearing, they actually accepted my attire. LIKE WHAT THE ****? SO APPARENTLY BOOTY SHORTS ARE LESS REVEALING THAN LEGGINGS

The fact that schools in England need uniforms is beyond me. Maybe there's a reason or maybe we're just fancier.

I get it if it's some sort of private school, but mine isn't, and I actually liked the uniforms at first, but it's just a hassle now. I'd really prefer not to have to get dressed in a full uniform in the span of 2 minutes after I come out of Physical Education. It's hard.

call me old fashioned but i like uniforms. gives a sense of order. in fact i hated non uniform days

Maybe it's not the uniforms but how strict my school is on them. If you lose your tie you get a detention, even if someone takes it. If you wear shoes that are even slightly out of order (maybe they're black but the heels are a little too high), you get a detention. I could go on and on about how stupid and irritating it is.

Also, all detentions are an hour after school, so that adds on even more to how much I hate it.

 

[KarlaKGB]

that sounds pretty draconian. we got told off for not having shirts tucked in, top buttons done, girls made to wash their (excessive) makeup off etc...but u wouldnt get a detention unless u really messed up or were a repeat offender

mmm this. for the last 10-15 years, my school has had the same uniform: a school polo shirt and then general other rules for stuff like no jeans, no short skirts and it was great. as of this year though, they changed the uniform to this really uncomfortable uniform with CLIP ON TIES. but then they said "you switch when you grow out of your uniform".
i have all my sisters old shirts
ill never have to change from my comfy uniform that takes me 2 minutes to put on >

 

[KarlaKGB]

if theyre gonna make u wear ties, they may as well make u do it properly.

ugh we have like shirts with 6 buttons, we have to tie a real tie, have the collar exact, shirt needs to be tucked in, shoes need to be exactly right, black socks only, and no bracelets or anything. We also have a blazer that needs to be buttoned up. It doesn't seem like a lot to put on but in reality it takes a while

School uniforms prepare you for the real world; you can't wear whatever you want in most professional jobs. Hammering into children's minds that their appearance is important, with ties, tucked-in shirts, smart shoes, etc makes sure they have a positive attitude to the working world and how people are expected to present themselves.

Uniforms encourage discipline, which everybody needs in their lives, whoever they are. Doctors, nurses, bankers, scientists, etc can't turn up to work in jeans and a t-shirt and expect everybody else to take them seriously; a lax dress code implies a lax attitude to work, with no discipline or pride in their approach. Employers and the public need to have confidence in professional workers that they are competent and disciplined, and school uniforms are the first step for making sure that young adults actually care about how they present themselves.

It's a valid point, but no matter what anyone says as logical and reasonable as it is there's no way to stop me from getting annoyed by the uniforms rip
