The Problem With School Rules... 

School chain

Fun fact: The guy who created homework made it as a punishment for bad students, he didn't intend for every student to have it. :(

One thing thats absolutely ironic with teachers is how they say "oh the teacher you'll have next year won't tolerate this type of behavior" and the teacher you have next year is much more laid back 💀💀

My middle school banned water bottles. Students could only get water from the drinking fountains between classes (with the exceptions of gym, choir, and band). I literally had to get a doctor's note in order to have a water bottle in class. And even with the doctor's note, I had 2 teachers on 3 separate occasions try to give me detention for having a water bottle. Oh, and the water from the drinking fountains was just barely considered "drinkable".

My middle school banned all colors. We had to wear solid black or white. They try to enforce it down to our underwear and outside of school. Honor Roll students were getting dress code violation slips on Monday for wearing blue jeans when mowing their lawns or playing basketball while wearin red sneakers on the previous Saturday. Or wearing a floral dress to a family dinner on a Tuesday night. One girl's pad leaked and she was expelled when the gym teacher came in, saw blood, and reported it to the principal. I got yelled at during summer break, at the pool for wearing a colored swimsuit by my science teacher, who was wearing, what was basically speedo on him. He chewed me out for wearing pink because "it's a gang color", when the 2 biggest gangs wore black and white as their colors. Heck, they even banned diabetics from getting their insulin and even took their lunches away, if they deemed one part of it unhealthy, but would serve us the greasiest, most salt ladened, fattest foods one could find. My friend nearly died from her blood sugar being too low and it's only because I snuck a bite-size candy, I had hidden, into her mouth that she was able to stay stable and get to the hospital. The school wanted to call the police because, in their eyes, "Anything we don't provide is a drug or a weapon, and anyone who uses or provides it to fellow students, are criminals" and tried to expel me. She didn't tell anyone it was me until we graduated and I couldn't be tracked down by our pyscho ex-principal and teachers, all of whom had been fired the year prior, but still had friends working there.

I had an incident at our school where there was an actual fire at school, and if you were caught texting your parents, your phone was taken away. For example, I had just enough time to say there was a fire before I was forced to not contact my parents. This resulted in my parents panicking like mad.

School rules have be the dumbest rules to ever exist

Once I started my first job after graduation, I was blown away when my boss told me I didn't have to ask him to use the bathroom 💀

I got in trouble in highschool for writing my personal notes in "the wrong language." Like, seriously in trouble. The school administration decided it was a bomb threat. They made up a new rule that I could only write in English except for assignments from a (required) foriegn language class or all my teachers had to fail me at once. Yes, me specifically. After I graduated, they made a school wide rule that no one was allowed to interact with the ESL students because we would be a bad influence on them. Really weird for a school that spent a lot of time and energy on preaching "diversity" and "tolerance."

don't blame the guy that created homework, blame the guy that made it mandatory

I feel sorry for all the kids trapped in a system like this

What about going to the bathroom? I had a teacher that wouldn't allow her students to leave unless they raised their hand & asked to go to the bathroom! I had my hand up--teacher NEVER called on me so I urinated on the floor under my desk and she called me "crazy & said I needed psychiatric help" She dragged me to the principal's office & had me expelled!

I hate school fr

We had a Science teacher who let us eat in class and drink in class and draw in class and no one appreciated her. Which is just sad. She was an underrated teacher.

My favorite was when they tell you that your college professor won’t accept any bad behavior (getting up to go use the bathroom). Y’all college professors do not care.

Bro birdie is the goat for addressing this. Like people who aren't even related to you telling you to not drink, eat, talk, etc.

30 problems? My teacher gave us 80 PROBLEMS. AND EXPECTED IT BY TOMORROW

I had a massive kidney and bladder infection. My doctor sent a note that i was to be allowed to drink water and go to the bathroom when i needed to. My teacher threw the note away and told me that wasnt going to happen in her class. She didnt want me to disrupt the class. One week later i was back into the hospital. My doctor was angry. He let them know in no uncertain terms that what i had could kill me if i wasnt able to drink and go to the bathroom when i needed to. When i went back i was allowed to do what i needed to do, but she made my life hard from then to the end of the year.

Homework was created as a PUNISHMENT for students who misbehaved in class by a Italian American teacher in California in the late 1800s or early 1900s.

In my high school I get weekend homework! Because they say it’s important to study in weekend BUT HELL NAH I GOTTA REST NOT DO WORK I DID HOMEWORK ON THURSDAY FOR EXAMPLE AND ON FRIDAY SHE DIDNT CARE AND GAVE ME MORE WEEKEND HOMEWORK!

This is why iam so happy I go to a small rural school there’s so much more laid-back and you know everyone since you were like five and you can talk your way out of anything almost

"How it was explained to me during my training is that refusing to allow a child to go to the bathroom is denying them their physical needs and creates the potential for embarrassment or emotional trauma. This is considered abuse. Abuse is illegal. Therefore, refusing to allow a child to go to the bathroom is illegal."

one time i got hit with the "idk can u?" after asking to go to the bathroom i said "yes i can" with a giant smile and went when i came back the teacher said i had to go to detention but i didnt and went straight home instead and told my parents what happened they said if they were called to school for my "missbehavior" they'd handle it when the principal called my father and asked him if he could come to school to talk about it he hit the with the "idk can I?" the principal was anoyed and my father said "why did u get so anoyed by that, the students have to hear that type of answers from teachers almost daily and u dont give a crap" and hung up

you helping my friends lifestyle, thank you

Birdie is the prince of all relatable things.

A week or so before my sophomore year of high school began, every student was given an online form… thing… basically going over the rules and whatnot. One of the things was about hats and hoods, and it was a question asking “Can you tell who these people are?” and displayed a few staff members with half of their faces covered. How tf am I supposed to know who *staff members* are? Furthermore, most people don’t obscure half of their face with a hood, so don’t tell me that it’s a “safety precaution”.

My elementary school teachers gave stupid amounts of homework and would say it would prepare me for middle school but at middle school we got only 2 minutes of homework MAX!

In here, if you miss a day of school, you are technically missing 7 subjects because of the 7 subjects and the problem (that my mom agrees with) is that to not skip the 7 classes if you are sick, you need to have a paper to prove that you are sick because the "education minister" says so, like IM NOT GONNA WASTE ALL OF MY MONEY JUST TO NOT SKIP THOSE 7 SUBJECTS IM DONE WITH SCHOOL

Remember: If you ask a teacher if you can go to the bathroom, and they respond with something that isn't "Yes", piss your pants on the spot to assert dominance. Feel free to add a T-pose for extra flair.

I almost got detention once for telling a teacher that No, she could NOT just take my phone away from me for looking at it, it's my property. She got mad, sent me to see the principle, he agreed with me (Surprisingly) but said that I still wasn't allowed to be on it, witch I understand. So I still got detention, but I also got a new rule implemented that teachers arnt allowed to take students phones. So ide say that was a win

like dude why can’t I defend myself and they tell you to tell a teacher and when you do they pay ABSOLUTELY NO ATTENTION AT ALL

8:43 "THIRTY PROBLEMS!?" I can relate, but it is sometimes 35-40 😭

My social studies teacher had a "15-minute rule" one time but instead of not being able to go to the bathroom at the first or last 15 minutes, you could not go UNTIL the last 15 minutes.

The man who invented homework is truly sorry for us, as it was meant to be a form of punishment for those who did not do work in class.

true every second of this makes me happy

This was so true and helpeful that i even subscribed🥺😔🙏

Homework was actually invented by an Italian teacher in 1905 as a punishment for his students. After that some demon decided to make homework a thing that all kids should do instead of just having it be a punishment.

last year the principal brung all of the classes into the hall talking about how important is water and that you need to drink it, 2 weeks later a kid asked for water and the teacher said no. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Bro just explained ny whole school life in 11 minutes 💀

Yk what from this video you deserve a new subscribe ♥️

This is one of the biggest reasons why I’m glad to be starting college this year. Finally getting some much needed freedom and being able to just get up and go to the bathroom when I need to is going to feel so amazing.

When a teacher said “I don’t know, can you?” When you ask to go to the bathroom would fill me with the absolute most rage and permanent dislike of a teacher because they’re just holding you up when you’re trying to go.

One time I had a doctors appointment and it was the opposite so I was late because like yeah I had a doctors appointment I got into the classroom and none of the students stared at me. only my teacher.😭💀

how do u not have over 1m subs ur vids are so good

7:51 the person that created the homework, made it to be a PUNISHMENT

Funny story. At lunch I forgot to eat and I was talking to my friends, next period, which was math I was starving and I had a stomach ache. My teacher was eating in front of my face and going like “NO.” I am upset with her till this day.

9:08 And the worst part is that the person starting the problem most likely won't get suspended!

hall monitor: u have a hall pass me: no but i dont see u with one either so you should come to the pricipals office too yk

My female friend had her period and asked my teacher if she could go to the bathroom but he said no because we had to study for a test. She walked out with a few *ahem* colorful word choices. That class wasn't good for my mental health. I actually had a mental breakdown several times in that class because all of the test and stress i was under.

I actually got lucky because at my high school we are allowed to wear hats and hoods and the teachers don’t care. I remember the teachers were so strict in my middle school about hats and hoods that on my first day of Freshman year I walked past a bunch of upperclassmen who were wearing hats and hoods and I thought to myself “what are they doing?” Hell there was one kid in my gym class who was nicknamed “Blue Hat” because he was always wearing a blue baseball cap to school. I guess the high school realized there was no point in banning hats or hoods.

Burdie gang, it's the best

I had one in elementary school where we couldn't give out birthday invitations unless they were for the whole class (27 kids) because "it isn't inclusive".

I remember one time when I asked the teacher if I Eat something And she said no while she was eating a McDonald's meal. And then one kid said. Why are you yelling at us for doing what you're doing? You're supposed to be a role model.

7:19 As someone with uniforms, I do envy the people who are non - uniform, as my school has a rule where if everyone comes into class over 15 days (it isn’t a streak), you get to wear non - uniform as a reward.

As for tardiness, Ive had teachers who had rules that stated that class begins the moment you step in the classroom. Unless you are in your seat with all of your materials out and working on the warm up assignment before the tardy bell rings, you are considered late and will receive detention. Also at my high school instead of the 15 minute rule, we had a 30 minute rule. This is because our school used block scheduling in which all of our classes were 90-100 minutes long, but divided into a two day cycle (A day and B day). We had 4 classes per day, but 8 classes per cycle. Because of the longer class periods we were not allowed to use the restroom during the first 30 minutes or last 30 minutes of class. Although we didn't have uniforms in high school, our dress code was almost as strict as a christian school (this was at a public school).

"focus can be lost due to lots of repetitive work" teachers:

One of the rules at our school, didn’t allow guys to where hats, but allowed girls to cuz they were “expressing themselves through fashion”. At that point, I just started wearing a hat the rest of the year, and didn’t get in trouble for it.

0:00 - School Rules (Intro) 0:18 - Ask Permission 1:16 - No Eating/Drinking 2:14 - Start Times 3:40 - No Hats or Hoods 4:42 - No Phones 5:52 - No Talking 6:20 - Hall Pass 6:56 - Dress Code 7:46 - Homework 9:00 - No Self-Defense 9:45 - The 15 Minute Rule 10:37 - The Popsicle Sticks

8:01 Ahh yes nothing better then just relaxing at home watching adventure time😂

this guy's proving every point I've ever made to my teacher.

As a introvert I can confirm that popsicle sticks are my worst nightmare

If I were a teacher Rules: 1.Bullying is not tolerated Bully once, out of the classroom. Depends on how severe it was different levels of punishment. 2. If student found passing notes, just tell them to stop Give three warnings or off to principals. 3. If needed to go to toilet, I will give toilet breaks every ten mins. If period or urgent needs, do a T symbol. 4. You are allowed to listen to music, depends how well the class is working 5. One kid misbehaves, nobody besides the kid gets in trouble 6. Wearing hats is allowed, fursuits hell no 7. You can use phones during break, not class

Bro, I got sent to the principal office because some kid pinched me, and I pinched him back and this was in 5th grade like I'm not a freaking toddler.

In my school we have this place called the LSU which is where people with mental health issues go and since i go there you need a PASS to go there. A pass to not only go there at all but an SLT member asked “do you have a pass” to go to the LSU BEFORE TUTOR period which was like 15 minutes away? As well as that you need a toilet pass, time out pass, hall pass LSU pass and you basically have to unlock the school ig

They tried to ban water at my middle school (which just so happen to be the spring/summer of 2022). Yeah they jumped that principal on the last day. Edit: Also the Superintendent (who is married to the mayor) tried to close a store because "kids went there"

you, the duck, ryth, and ChainsFR are single handedly the most relatable yt channels out there.

We are 100% forced to wear uniforms IT SUCKS SO BAD

My elementary and middle school were SUPER strict on their rules, and with the way that students behaved. If we were late for 1 minute, boom. You got in trouble, and they gave you so much homework to the point where it was basically pointless to do it & Finish it. They would always tell us that “we are preparing you for high school, because it’s gonna be more hard than this” when in reality, my high school is WAY more chill then that. You’re late for 10 minutes, it’s fine, and the teachers don’t care about the other students not doing their assignments as long as they don’t act like nuisances.

5:52 🤐 As a kid, I learned that NOT talking in class made my school days way easier because the teacher had no reason to be upset with me 🤫 Now as an adult in the real world, I lack the ability to comfortably express myself in-person. I blame school for this pathetic state of being 😡

9:00 Those who had truly Hispanic parents, in my opinion, are those who didn’t get mad at you for defending yourself. I haven’t gotten in any fights to which I had to defend myself yet but they reassured me they’ll actually reward me for sticking up for myself

Bro are school hall passes were literally TRAFFIC CONES😭✋

i have a story about the animal suit stuff, back when I was in fifth grade, my friend did the most absurd things to get people to laugh, and this one day, there was only a few days left until spring break, and he shows up in an inflatable dinosaur costume, and the teachers didn't even care, he was wearing it all day and they said nothing, then when a kid puts a hat on, they say that it distracts other students or some dumb shit.

once at my old school a girl was two hours late because their mom died and they were at a funeral, and they were told that they needed to go to the office for being late. they told the reason and the teacher didnt care. then i moved schools right after

OMG that popsticle stick one gives me serious PTSD. In last year’s math class, EVERY question he used sticks. I remember being on this difficult question and I was PRAYING that it wasn’t stick #6 (my number) and it FREAKING WAS. I said that I didn’t know it and the whole class was staring at me and he was trying to explain it to me but I STILL got it wrong until he made it really obvious. I wanted to dissolve into the ground. Thank god for my W table partner who completely understood what it was like.

9:54 you got it easy. One of my teachers didnt even let us go pee (usually took around 2 minutes) until 1 hour had passed...a whole hour. I had to pee for so long and she was just like "Ah, no using the restroom until 1:45."

We weren't allowed to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom while in class either, when in Catholic grammar school. I don't recall that ever bothering me! Class began at 9 a.m. We went to the restroom and had lunch at 12 noon, and school was over at 3 p.m. So, the amount of time spent not doing those things was no big deal! Besides, students wouldn't be able to pay complete attention to what they are being taught if they are allowed to eat or drink in class. Not to mention the possibility of spilling something.

When i was in grade 3 or 4, my supervisor came in my class and announced “you cannot bring chips in here” and the only way u could eat them is if you buy them and my literature teacher wouldnt even allow anyone to use the bathroom at ALL, plus you couldn’t drink water more than once in her class. this is why everyone skips her class

As a girl, i can comfirm i can NOT wear anything i like because of the dress code.

The wort thing about my dress code is Shoes! Like the sh*t i cant were my jordans to school as the teachers walk in with freaking clown shoes!!!

0:39 🤣🤣 got me dying

I was by no means an unruly student but I never asked for permission to do a damn thing. Maybe because I was raised better than that at home. "Oh, think you can just walk out of my class? I'll see you in detention." Yeah, no. You wont. "Well suspension then!" Imagine a hostage situation where the negotiator kills a hostage every 15 minutes if the bank robbers don't surrender. It's that fucking stupid. Homework? Never. The teacher would pull me aside, "I can't help but notice you haven't turned in any of your homework assignments all week. Mind explaining why?" And that's when I would give them the list of (no bullshit and no excuse) list of adult-level responsibilities I had once I walk home, due to the nature of how homelife was, I had to pull my weight and help my single dad take care of my younger siblings. I had no time for unnecessary bullshit. Then they give you certificates and plaques and awards for being a smart cookie (which is really more of an insult to your intelligence in a way)...And then you look at the award and realize that "Mathemathics" is spelled wrong. What the hell is math-e-math-ics? (This is coming from the "honors" math class) "wow it's such and honor to be in your honors math class that you enrolled me in after noticing that my math test scores are on par with "college-level" mathematics when I'm in 7th grade" And after they inform me of this, in my mind it's only further solidifying my at-the-time sneaking suspicion that public school curriculum (or at least the way in which the institution is designed) is not really teaching students much of anything that is actually valuable in the real world apart from at-best providing a very lacking "basic" education, if you can even call it that. Because if a single student out of an entire school is getting test results that put them in the boat with college-level mathematicians in the 7th grade, they're not learning their math skills from that school. And in case you're wondering, no, I'm not Asian. Like I said from the beginning, I did not do homework. I learned that shit from video games. More specifically, violent murder simulators where you have to think strategically. You've got x amount of various ammunition types for x amount of variable types of weapons systems, which use magazines which hold x amount of rounds, divided by x amount of team members who need to be equipped, divided by x amount of weight/load carry capability altogether, once again divided by x amount of bad guys in a simulated combat situation where you gotta go into the building and turn NPCs into a mess of red pixels. Don't let anyone tell you video games are bad. That's bullshit. For anyone who got this far in this post, thank you for reading and I hope you got a laugh out of my rant about how ridiculous my experience with the public school system was. This was late 90s through to 2009 BTW. I actually ended up graduating through a military academy at age 16, which in retrospect I probably learned more from than I ever did from the public school system. As for anyone who may have been offended by anything I said in this post, know that it is purely satire and not meant to offend. Also know that you cannot sue because I have no money, don't show up to court and you can't send the cops to serve me a subpoena because when you tell them who it is that you want them to serve a subpoena to they will say "Nope. Not that guy. Do it yourself." Kids...stay in school.

Fun fact the is blue because its wavelengths are shorter, blue light is more strongly scattered than the longer-wavelength lights, red or green. Hence, the result that when looking at the sky away from the direct incident sunlight, the human eye perceives the sky to be blue

7:19 I appreciate how you address that the girls dress code is stupid. also at my school you can’t have anything under 3 finger width for a strap. Also we cant have fanny pack even though this is a prime time we can get our period and we are gonna need pads/tampons on us at all times, it’s so stupid teachers be carrying Lululemon everywhere

And here’s me home schooling, doing my schooling in my bed😂

This reminded me of a school bathroom experience I had not too long ago. At my school we use this thing called ehallpass. When we use ehallpass you are only allowed 3 bathroom passes a day. Now I alr used all my bathroom passes for the day, I was bored in math (2nd period 🙄) and I actually had to go to the bathroom the other 2. But, I was in 8th period English, when I asked if I could go to the bathroom whilst I had no passes left. The teacher said no. I told him “Mr … it’s an emergency!” He fucking hesitated. That pissed me off beyond belief. It was an emergency and he hesitated and called another teacher to see if he could let me go use the bathroom. Edit: thank you all so much for 40 likes. This is the most I’ve ever blown up 😋😋

Literally at the end of last school year my school locks almost all the bathrooms due to some triflent students be smoking, vaping ,fighting, vandalism, and pooping on the floor. That last one had me like WTF?! To make things worse, they have a tardy sweep, which means you must be on the classroom before thr bell rings because if you arent in class by the time the announce the sweep , you are not allow in and you will be caught by the dean. I swear they just want us to gwt introuble and have detention. Not to mention they force us to use locks on our locker. Now granted it took me time to learn how to use one but even when I mastered it there are like a bunch of locks that are broken and the district dont do sh!t to replace them. We basicallt are stuck with old worn out shitty locks.

This is soo relatable 😭 lol One rule in my school is NO jewelry bc "iTs GoNnA dIsTrAcT tHe OtHeR sTuDeNtS" LIKE BRO IT DOESN'T DISTRACT ANYONE UNTIL YOU SAY SOMETHING!!!

This is really relatable. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I literally would rather wait 7-8 hours to eat at home than eat my school's lunch, one you had to pay for lunch and also it was notorious for the quality of the food to be bad, and the fact that things got in the food, hair for example. (they didn't wear hair nets somehow even though I thought that was legally required when doing that.) Glad I graduated just as mask regulations were being discussed whether or not they had to be kept on even after the pandemic.

For the no phones punishment, in my district it becomes even more of an issue when you consider that there is an app that tells you what buses are sub buses and how late the might be. When you think about it, the teachers are now preventing you from getting home safely!!

At my school, if you needed to use the bathroom, they made a teacher aid FOLLOW you to the bathroom and youd get very little privacy! I was extremely uncomfortable and other times, you'd always get "is it an emergency? Or can it wait till after class?" Also i was probably 14 years old! I'd spent 8 HOURS trying to hold it cause I hated them watching me do my business or not being allowed to use the bathroom!

I have to wear uniform in the UK people get strangled by their ties. It is so rough I pray for you❤

In my last year of high school, they revised the tardy policy. Instead of it being a per-class period basis, it was now counting all tardies ever. Even being late once was both my parents getting bombed with texts and voicemails every 30 minutes, emails and a letyer home. You know, the "warning" for being late one time. Also punishments had to be re-served. Be late 4 times in a year and it's detention and your parents getting their phones bombed like Dresden in 1945. Again. Be late 5 times and it's 2 days detention. Plus 1 more day. Plus another Dresden 1945 campaign on your parents' phone. After a point, you probably just get expelled, sent to juvie or just flat out noscoped by Seal Team 6.

I go special education school and they don’t give out homework. Before hands on my other schools and such I had to do homework and it was stressful as hell, and ever since I’ve been having the freedom of not having homework I feel a lot better. Proof that homework is completely useless

I can relate man having to ask for stuff is outrageous even though when I was in 7th grade I didn't even ask to go and I peed myself all because I was scared that they would say no then they told me that I don't have to just wait until I pee I can just ask without the teacher being hard-headed on other people

7:03 sadly, almost every school in the uk requires you to wear a uniform and the main problem with it is that the uniform cost like $80 for it all and the main problem I have with the price of uniform is what if you like in a poor town or you are poor and can’t afford a uniform so you can’t go to school. That is some bull shit

As a teacher, I first tried to allow students to have food, because I never liked that rule. Every single day, there was garbage and half eaten food left all over the desks and floors. A couple of times, somebody smashed up a boiled egg into the carpet. So yeah, I realized why that was a rule and made it a rule for my classroom after only a few weeks. Much less cleaning up afterwards. Sometimes the rules suck for students, but it would be a nightmare for teachers if they weren't in place.

I think we should make a petition to remove all these stupid schools rules

I remember when in elementary school my teacher used to talk to students that where 1 or 2 hours late for school for probably like “ skipping school” but when I was getting back from some work in another class I saw a student that was 3-4 hours late and the teacher didn’t even yeah at her, like BRO I swear that if I do that I would get sent to the principals office but the teacher was like “ oh yeah you are fine also you missed some work so go do it” and pretended that my teacher forgot. Also burdie if you are reading this then your videos are so true.
