Now, school ought to be a place of learning where eager minds would try to soak in every bit of knowledge and experience they can before they hit the real world.

Alas, schools are also a place where certain decisions beg more questions than they could possibly answer and, in some cases, it has reached unethical levels.

People of Reddit have been listing unethical practices that schools do, and nobody is really batting an eye about it. The discussion generated nearly 11,000 comments with over 24,000 upvotes.

Bored Panda has collected the most upvoted responses to this question and compiled a list which you can find below. Vote and comment on the answers that you think are the biggest problems, and why not also share some of your observations in the comment section below!

35 Unethical Practices That Are Surprisingly A Thing In Some Schools, As Pointed Out By Folks Online Harassing teenage girls for "dressing inappropriately" when a millimeter of their bra strap is showing (or some other bulls**t like that). Telling them it distracts the boys and invites unwanted attention.

When they actually get harassed (or worse) the school does nothing.

    I remember the problem of buying school books when we were poor. But actually some college books are only purchased by a few dozen people on that particular course, so would not be produced without those purchases. So SOME people purchasing the book is important. However you acquire the book should not be anything to do with the college though.

    35 Unethical Practices That Are Surprisingly A Thing In Some Schools, As Pointed Out By Folks Online I was a decently misbehaved third grader. Told my teacher I had a stomach ache and I needed to go to the nurse. I asked a number of times. She thought I was just trying to get out of individual reading time. My appendix burst on the bus ride home.

    I was never one to ask to go to the nurse. Just a hyperactive kid my teacher apparently had enough of. Denying medical attention to an 8 year old seems unethical. This is not a "boy who cried wolf" story for all those saying "I told ya so".

    I remember one time in digital technology class I developed a splitting pain below my stomach. I think it was trapped gas in my bowels or something. Anyway, I asked my teacher if I could go to the nurse, but she told me no because class was "almost over" and that I have to wait until it was finished before I could go. Except that class was over in an hour, so I had to stay seated in my chair, in agony, for an hour. Did I mention that digital technology was my last class that day? So school was over by the time class ended and I couldn't stay behind because then I'd be late and I can't be late because my mum had to pick up my brothers from their schools as well so I never got to the nurse. And then there was that other time where I nearly fainted in the mandatory religion class and I did have to go to the nurse and while my friend was leaving my schoolbag in the nurse's office, she told me that the substitute teacher was pissed at me for missing class.

    I hinestly believe that some teachers enjoy making their kids suffer. I speak very fast and because of that i stutter if I read out loud. One of my teachers loved making me read all the time and kept smiling while some of the students laughted. Once i got so tired that i shut up and sat in the middle of a sentence and refused to ever read in her classes. Bitch

    Because my parents refused to pay 'extra' money to the school my head teacher made me an example of what happens to children of parent who refuse to pay the extra money. Weekly I'd be found in breach of an obscure rules that required public punishment/s. Some times it would be 6 strokes of the cane. A cane was solid bamboo 4 feet long and as thick as a thumb. I'd have to put my hand out palm up and receive 3 strokes across middle joints of my fingers. They would bruise and swell so I couldn't hold a pencil to write. His next favorite punishment was to make me stand against a Besser block wall in the full sun, no hat for a few hours. It was in full sight of the entire school. It became suicide to be my friend.

    I hate seeing children suffer when they choose to no longer be in extracurricular activities by teachers who treat them badly or deliberately ignore them. You'd think adults wouldn't be so petty. I also hate Physical Education teachers who fraternize with their sports students rather than teach the class assigned. They ignore teaching the rest of the class.

    Doesn't always work like that. I'm the parent. Put my hand up and helped with most activities, fundraising activities and my children were not given any preference. They were generally ignored even told to suck it up when they reported bullying. The school systems are broken.

    People talk about students being able to grade and review teachers as a joke but it would actually be a great idea (especially if it can be done anonymously)

    35 Unethical Practices That Are Surprisingly A Thing In Some Schools, As Pointed Out By Folks Online Humiliating and/or calling out students in front of the whole class

    also saying things like "you'll never pass my class/get into Harvard/get into college" to the entire class for some reason always with a stupid, arrogant smirk on their face... The first two are true stories, the first from my Honors Algebra II teacher to a class of 15/16-year-olds and the second from my HONORS SCHOOL to a class of 14/15-year-olds which was supposed to prepare me for that exact thing!! What makes the second even worse is that the person who said it was... wait for it... THE SCHOOL COUNSELOR!!!

    School counselors are actually just stuck up baboons who expect bullies to obey you by telling them to stop. WTF?

    Diagnosing kids who aren't interested in the curriculum with ADHD. Still don't understand how I get diagnosed with ADHD in elementary school just for it to magically disappear halfway through middle school, for it then to reappear freshman year of high school just to disappear again sophomore year.

    And then kids who actually have ADHD get told they're faking it. Misdiagnosis doesn't benefit anyone.

    35 Unethical Practices That Are Surprisingly A Thing In Some Schools, As Pointed Out By Folks Online Worst? Probably the sky-high cost of attendance. The most visible evidence of this is the endless list of administrators, administrative assistants, specialists, administrative associates, the list goes on. Unless you are dirt poor and qualify for Pell Grants (US) the cost of a name-brand school is hard to swallow. Add inflation and it's even worse.

    Forcing kids to start earlier than they need to which hurts their mental and emotional development. In America it's like there's two societies, the well adjusted and the publicly educated.
