Schools have the weirdest rules...



I came across this video at Yahoo.com... it was about school bans the weirdest things... like one school tried to ban wearing colorful wrist bands coz it was too "distracting" and some school even banned giving father's day cards to the dads coz it was said to be affecting kids who were raised by a single mom...

now i know it may be reasonable... but then how about kids raised by their dads alone? so maybe they should also ban giving mom's day cards to the moms... or maybe they should ban giving cards to anyone at any circumstances... like for chistmas... some people do not celebrate christmas... or on valentine's, it may be too unfair for that one single lady to see her other friends getting cards...

so cards must be banned altogether right?

back to the weirdest school rules...

back in i was in highschool... it was the golden rule that the girl's skirts must be strictly two inches below the knee... i couldnt get that... i mean we were in different heights... so making it standard is completely useless... coz it will not look like the "standard length coz kids do come in diffrenet sizes".

then they had this rule on wearing either white and black hair ties only. i dunno why... maybe to make the kids look all so dull...

i came from a provate school so i think being "private" meant being DULL and LIFELESS>.. we are not allowed to wear anything that may be too flashy... like the hair ties... it must be either black or white and thats it. Oh and we werent allowed to have a different shade of hair color.

but someo f my classmates protested on this. saying they werent "pure Filipina", some of my classmates were part-foreign and its natural for them to have different shade of hair other than BLACK...

back then, i was sporting the brunette look... i had my hair dyed brown... then i was called by the Vice-Principal for Discipline, coz of that...

i simply said... "i am not pure filipina."

and i couldnt belive that she fell for it. she quickly apologized for taking me out of my class and that i can go.

okay heres the fact... YES i am not pure filipina... BUT i am part Japanese... which means there is no way i could have natural BROWN hair... HAHAHA i mean have you seen Japanese people? they do have black hair like that of a Filipina.. and thats why they dye it brown or blonde...

hahaha and for years i was there... and got away with it...

I actually got away with a lotta things... like NO MOBILE PHONES on campus... they were freakin inspecting our bags to check if we are bringing "INAPPROPRIATE" objects to school... and what i did then was hide my phone in a lunch box... EVERYDAy.... and once im done with the inspection... i just put it on my pocket... DONE

It was weird for schools to be imposing rules like that... when THEY themselves couldnt follow it...

like in a class... teachers would tell us... do not drink sodas. do not eat junk foods. just healthy veggies and fruits...

and the bell will ring.... KKKKKRRRRRRIIIIINNNNGGGG.... once at the CANTEEN... VOILA>... JUNK FOOD KINGDOM>... candies, chocos, chips, sodas... everything!!!

way to go... teachers will be seen getting junk for themselves as well... whatta role model... hahhahaha

So for me... just dont say, teach or even ban something that you yourself would do... students have brains you know..and they got eyes... they could see... and thats why they laugh at you... not because they are just being bad or bratty... they are just capable of thinking... and seeing the irony and weirdness of what youre imposing.

PEACE... this is not to teach students to be bratty (COZ YOU ARE NOT ENETITLED TO DO SO... UNLESS YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DEFENDING YOURSELF COMPLETELY and TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR ACTIONS) but this is intended for schools to actuially think out of the box too... coz sometimes what youre doing... is just plain.... FUNNY... hahaha
