We get office detentions for chewing gum.
thts nothingIts crazy.
I think some of those rules have backwards consequences. Detention? For gum? The teachers at our school just ask us to spit it out into the garbage.
We get a DT2 for chewing gum and a $10 fine. DT2 is a twenty minute detention.
I chew it anyways...if I get caught I could care less. Got caught once, never served the detention or paid the fine.
i chew gum in all my classes. i chew gum like its candy. i have teachers ask me for gum.
Gum is actually encouraged in our schools.... they used to ban it because of the mess, but some study showed that you think better when chewing. Sounds silly to me, but whatever.
And that is why our teachers give us gum during state testing.its true. the motion of chewing causes your brain to release certain endorphins that make you feel better, and when you feel better, you think more actively.
My district is out with a new attendance policy.
Miss 5 classes (even EXCUSED absences) and you get a call home.
This will certainly happen to me as I often have ortho appointments first period, and it just can't be done outside of school hours. And I'm sick of my school trying to be the best freaking school in North America.
For every class missed you mark goes down two percent! Please be quiet, I missed english about, 6 times and my mark never went down..
My parents don't need to listen to the attendance commitee go on about attendance..
After 10 missed, you have to have a meeting. Go on vacation? And are sick for two days? That's enough to warrant a meeting. Which is a waste of time, especially on the parents part seen as nothing is wrong, they just went on vacation... that's all.
I don' tmind the rule, it's jsut that it's excused absences too.
You get detention just for chewing gum?! And, how would you describe 'uniform infringement'?
Yep you guess right.That is crazy stuff! (bolded are the ones I found extraordinary) And I thought getting 2.5 hours after school for throwing a cheesestick in the cafeteria was tough!
I'm assuming you go to a private all-girls school....
Switch to public![]()
Excessive makeup? I'm guessing there are no emo/scene/goth kids at your school?
Not bringing laptops? Very few kids at my school even own laptops, and we definitely don't bring them to school.

Many school do this for any missed classes now adays...
My mom got a phone call from my school 2 days ago because I was 10 minutes late to class while finishing my french final...
I chew gum like candy too xD
I'm going to take a few packs into my science exams now that Shelby has enlightened us
Your school seems a little backwards, surely make-up and stuff would just be a D1![]()

Socks the right lentgh. meaning not too short, not too long.

Yep you guess right.
ANd we dont get many scene, emo or goth kids in aus.. much.
It used to be no makeup. so we all looked all creepy. But now we can use stuff and its like, HALLELUJAH!
And after paying an exxy laptop fee they give them to us.
We even do some tests on them.
