It also perpetuates the notion that girls are responsible for controlling boys’ behavior!

Oh u are doing poorly? No resources for u hehehe get gud

I've never understood this...even as adults...in our country if someone is trying to kill you and you defend yourself, you can be charged with assault...like what?!?!

Sports are focused on FAR too much at the schools by me. Whenever I drive past there are ALWAYS notices about games and whatever. School should be focused on education, not sports

We only had unexcused leave as punishable.

We've got school lunches in primary and secondary schools here...which are free and for low income families. A few years back they also instituted breakfast.

War crime :)

I hear that...we used to have hours of homework. Sometimes I just want to relax and sleep.

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.

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.

Or when they call the bully and say "bullied kid said you did X" and when they deny it they just leave it there...like thanks for now increasing the bullying that already existed.

What in the name of all that is holy...

Zero tolerance sometimes meant Zero Effort or Zero Intelligence.

Same in my horrific catholic school. They would close the water fountain in the recess (10am and 13-15pm) so kids wouldnt play with the water. Even in the months of may and june. My region of spain (as most) gets easily to 30-40C in those months

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

And is also a completely unnecessary cruelty!

Who does this? And where?

I've seen this time and time again...the systems is way to broken.

Our fire alarms were disabled. Once two kids tried to pull a prank activating them and we all realised that they were all off

My school: you should sleep at least 9 hours a night Also my school: you must wake up at 6 in the morning

"Also letting girls wear short skirts in summer" while at the same time cry out loud in case of shoulder free top or barely visible bra strap, I presume.

I had a Social Studies asshole teacher/coach who told the class that if a girl is getting raped, she should relax and enjoy it. I got up and walked out. I spoke up, and nothing was done, since he was a coach. I was 14. The good old 70's.

I was bullied and depressed to the point of dropping out for a month. I lived in black because I was fat and it seemed to help distract the bullies. So what happens? My English teacher tells the class she thinks I'm a Satanist.

I think Boomers were the last generation to not be required by society to have a college degree in order to get a job!

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)

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

How can that even be legal?

Ripping off a Kids insulin pump and yanking out the IV line because you are too stupid to see it isn’t a phone

For us it's textbooks that have "amendments" every year. Like, why should I trust you if you keep making mistakes. lol

Dress codes that are really different for boys and girls make no sense

In public schools in the USA?

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

WTF??

We had a girl passing out during fasting time.

That should be illegal. wtf. For some kids that aren't well off, their school lunch may be the only meal they get... happened to me nearly once, maths exam went over our lunch hour so we only had 15 minutes left to get lunch so most of us were late to class and we all got yelled at for being late. (and this was in the uk too, and thankfully It wouldn't have been my only meal that day but still)

In 5th grade I had to stay home for a week due to a severe throat infection. I had a doctor's note attesting that and had to miss a math test. Mind you, math doesn't come easy to me, so I need to concentrate a lot more. During that week my grandma had a stroke and passed away. Come Monday, my mom went to the school with me and talked to the teacher, she had always been super friendly with my mom and me, we knew each other for about two years by that time. My mom asked explained everything to her and asked her to allow me to take the test at the library or maybe the councilor's office and because of everything that happened. She also asked the teacher to let me know the new day. She agreed and we went our way. On Tuesday, during English class, the math teacher shows up, asks the English teacher to excuse me, sits me on the corner of the room, presents me with the test and leaves. What if I had a question? What if I couldn't concentrate with everyone speaking around me?

Kids should not fast. Period

Our school would let kids skip the lunch line to get lunch ASAP to take to their tests. Until kids started getting teachers to sign notes so they could skip the line.

We were only allowed to be kept in for half the length of our breaks, so you couldn't do a test in that time.

How can someone make you do exams during lunch? Isn't it illegal?
