What's The Best Way You Can Rebel Against School Rules ? 

At my school, it was forbidden to bring sauce from home into the cafeteria. You know that when something is forbidden, it gives it value. 2 month later, there was literally a sauce trafficking « network » in the school in order to get a sauce before entering the cafeteria. One day, they got caught and got a detention. I guess I’ll enjoy my fries dry

Back before schools had anti-bullying programs, it was still a problem. But they dealt with it by passing the lamest rule ever "Instead of insulting someone, say something nice about them instead". Naturally, this resulted in a lot of back-handed compliments. Things like "I like that shirt, it distracts from your face", or "You're smarter than you look"... the usual crap that passes for "wit" to a bunch of pre-teens. But a couple friends and I accidently stumbled across the "secret sauce" that made this insane rule actually work. We'd tell ludicrous stories about each other like they were modern mythic heroes. The more over-the-top it was, the better. Then everyone would go along with it or would try to one-up it with a story about why their friend is cooler. So all the attention-seeking kids who normally spewed a barrage of insults started doing this instead, as it was more effective at getting them attention. For example, instead of calling Jeremy a "fat fuck", I might say something like: "Jeremy's the biggest bad-ass in the school. When he was but a fetus, his mother tried to give herself a coat-hanger abortion. But when the wire poked Jeremy in the nose, he grabbed hold of it, yanking it into the uterus with him. For eight days and eight nights, he fought with the hanger, until finally, it laid a crumpled pile of wire beneath his feet. Weary of his battle, Jeremy chewed through his own umbilical cord and drew his first breath. And with it, he breathed fire into the remains of his vanquished foe, melting that heap of metal. With his bare fists, he pounded and forged the metal into a tiny jet-ski and rode out of his mother's birth canal, flipping the bird as he made his triumphant escape." And then you would say something like "No, Tom is the biggest bad-ass..." and tell an ever more insane story. And everyone played along and accepted these stories as if they were fact (obviously nobody believed that, but we pretended we did to keep the joke going). This went on for two weeks. Then the teachers started getting tired of it, and the "Only say nice things" rule was replaced by a "Shut the fuck up" rule, lol. In fairness, it did get a bit out of hand sometimes... Moderation, restraint, and appropriate timing are not the defining characteristics of any 12-year-old boy. But that was a fun couple of weeks.

I remember that one time my school banned anything that was a little offensive, so this one kid decided to say every single curse word onto the school speaker, only got to the N's, then it went too far. Then they had to take out the cord after breaking down the door. Absolute legend

We had a kid, who for the sake of story telling, we’ll name Noah, Noah’s dad was a marine, I say was bc he was discharged, shortly after being discharged he committed suicide. Well Noah had this red bandana that belonged to his father, his father would almost always wear it around his head, so Noah did the same. One of the teachers said he needed to take it off cuz it “promoted gang violence”. He told them it was to honor his father and refused to take it off, he was supposed to get ISS (in school suspension) for the rest of the year (there was like 3 months left). Me and a few friends thought it was bs so we got a bunch of ppl to come to school the next day wearing red bandanas as well, over the next week we had nearly every student wearing one to school everyday, about a week after he got ISS someone had started taping fliers on the walls, everywhere. On doors, in the bathrooms, in classrooms, everywhere. The fliers said “Free Noah from ISS, honor his dad!” A month passed and then they finally let him out and said he could wear it.

Story 25: My school had the same rule. It is a public school. I countered that girls were allowed to have long hair. They said yes that's true but you're a boy. I ask how would they know that for sure? They said I was registered as male and my birth certificate presented at registration was displayed male. I showed them a copy of my friend's birth certificate in which he was mistakenly gendered as female. Birth certificates can be issued defectively. If they don't believe me they could call his aunt who happens to be a teacher for the school and she will confirm that the certificate does indeed exist and says female. They don't let my friend live that down always retelling the story and showing the certificate at each of his birthday parties. The only way to know for sure that I'm male or female is if they stripped me. For that they'd have to get permission from my parents. So either prove beyond doubt I'm male and then pull every "female" students' pants down as well to confirm they are also indeed not male or let me keep my hair. I was allowed to keep my hair.

My High School in Virginia attempted to enforce a school uniform where there wasn’t one. A majority of the parents openly refused to buy a second set of clothes for their kids. The school set a policy that any student who would show up not wearing the uniform would be sent home. First day of school a total of about a dozen student actually show up wearing the uniform, no one else did. Head of the PTA also showed up and dared the school to send home 95% of the student body. School uniform policy didn’t survive 2 weeks.

I have to add one as well. This is my dad's and this was way in the late 70s in Yugoslavia. They had a school principle who had a habit of slapping the hell out of any child who was disrespectful. One of my dad's friends was joking about the teacher, and she heard it. She told him to go to the student pedagogue. The guy just went to the bathroom, rubber his cheek till it was very visibly red, and returned saying "The pedagogue told me to go to the principal." with the biggest smile on his face.

in Australia, most schools are pretty strict on uniform. I got detention Tonnes of times for not wearing the school socks, so one day I got sick of getting a detention slip, so I just showed up wearing no socks at all because on the detention slip it said, "wrong socks" or "non uniform socks". my English teacher asked me why I wasn't wearing socks, and I said I had a long night and legit forgot. I did not get detention :)

We required ID badges in order to access specific rooms (I have a fun job). Anyway, people would put Pokémon cards, baseball cards, etc. in their badges. The admin didn’t like it and said that is was unprofessional and to stop. So we didn’t put them in our badges any more. Instead, we hid them ALL OVER the school, in ceiling tiles, in pictures hung on the wall, and INSIDE VENDING MACHINES (how they managed to get one on the top rack no one knows, but that was the most famous incident).

Oh boy, I finally get to tell the story of my High School legacy! One summer I found these nice velvet cloaks at a shop and fell in love. I saved up all summer and bought them right before the school year started. I showed my friend and because we were kinda weirdos anyway we agreed to periodically wear them to school on the same day with no explanation. What we didn't account for was the goth kids thinking it was dope that we wore these cloaks to school and starting to wear cloaks as well, also with no real explanation. Pretty soon you'd see an average of about 5 kids a day wearing cloaks. Apparently the staff didn't know what to make of this new trend and decided to add a new rule to the dress code banning cloaks (my guess is they were worried it was a cult thing or something). That was the end for most people but not for me! See, they would make an exception to dress code for the sake of school spirit, we were actually kind of encouraged to be over the top with it, and one of the cloaks I had bought also happened to be one of our school colors. I wore that crimson beauty every opportunity I got until I graduated. 15 years later and I still have it! I use it for ren faire these days. It's faded and tattered and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

When I was in middle school, if I didn't like a rule, I just ignored it. If I didn't want to obey a teacher's orders, I said no. Some of it was mild stuff, like keeping my hood up after being told to pull it down. Another time, I climbed on top of the jungle gym and refused to come down until the end-of-lunch bell rang. There's one that sticks out though. There was a teacher that was known for being a real asshole. When I had broken my ankle, I was hobbling down the hall on my crutches with my headphones on. He stopped me and told me to put them away. Of course, I said no, with the addition of "You're telling a kid on crutches to stop in the middle of the hall, maneuver his backpack around, put his headphones into his bag, then maneuver it back around, and continue on to class. That sounds far less safe than just putting them in the bag when I get to class. Later." He asked for my name and I gave him an obviously fake name (which he for some reason believed?), and I told him to go do something useful with his life instead of harassing underage kids. Later got called into the office, and while I doubt this is true, was told that because of the "trauma" of his interaction with me, he was retiring early at the end of the year. Honestly, I doubt him leaving had much to do with me, if anything at all, the principal just wanted to guilt-trip me for disrespecting the most disrespectful faculty member. But it was nice to show him that he didn't actually have any control if a student didn't want to put up with him.

Told this story so many times, but I'm still proud of it. TLDR; was told I couldn't wear a jacket around my waist, so I kept doing and 2 years later in 8th grade, no one cares if I wear a jacket around my waist

My school has this borderline predatory and unabashedly deceptive/greedy company that does our graduations. Never mind the mandatory two hour commer- I mean "assembly" that we had to attend twice so they can sell us caps, gowns, and whatever other graduation crap they wanted to try and shovel out of our minimum wage wallets. They used every trick in the book it seemed so my wonderful graduating year decided to employ passive aggressive applause whenever there was a pause in the presentation. Almost every other three sentences were immediately serenaded by the sweet sweet sound of aggravated applause. Suffice it to say, the jostens people were less than pleased. The teachers did nothing about it, so we kept the applause up. Pretty sure they would've joined us too if they weren't under district policy lol.

As a teenager my uncle had dyed hair. The administration didn’t like this and called his mother, saying “ Do you know what your son did to his hair?” Her response was “ Yes. I was the one that did it”

The whole eating alone punishment wouldn’t have been a punishment for me. I’m shy and preferred eating alone. There weren’t a lot of places where I could but there were smaller round tables with less seats that I could sit on and not be surrounded. One way I rebelled was when I left for lunch early. There were two buildings and two bells (the first one for people switching buildings). I had gym class before lunch and it was right across from the cafeteria. I found out people were leaving at the first bell to go to lunch instead of switching buildings. I got sick of waiting in line behind rule breakers so I started leaving early. Since it was gym class, we weren’t doing anything except getting ready to go so I could sneak out. Frankly, better to do that than also dealing with waiting in long lines and people cutting in line

For me, it was actually unintentional. My school's dress code says the usual stuff, one of which apparently includes no brightly-colored clothing as it could be considered distracting. Well, brightly-colored clothes is almost my entire wardrobe. Never been dressed coded, just found out because some dude pointed it out to me. Mean while, there was a girl who wore a shirt that had a brand of alcohol branded across the front and her response to why she wore it was "I didn't look at it when I put it on".

I mean this in the nicest way possible: Your voice literally makes me fall asleep. Your voice is just so calming and nice that when I'm SUPPOSED to be asleep to get a good rest, whenever I watch your videos, I end up falling asleep. Big thanks for that. Keep it up man!

At my middle school, they had problems with kids using bathrooms too much. So they implemented a easy rule, Only letting kids go at the last 30 minutes of class. Kids followed it, but teachers weren’t happy with them still going to the bathrooms “too much”. So, Water bottles were pretty much banned. The rule stated “You must have a clear water bottle. It must have water inside it. You may only drink during locker breaks.” This sounds fine at first until you realize our locker breaks were only around 5 seconds long. (Teacher would even start class during locker breaks.) So students weren’t allowed to drink water at their locker break unless they wanted to miss class. So, for the first week students would just- miss class. Or be late to it, drinking water. Sadly, my younger sibling said they still have this rule.

For the school-ran store, I think some schools actually do such a thing. I wouldn't know personally as I haven't been in school in years and have no intention of going back to a hellhole. Course though I would've bought the drinks while the teachers were at the vending machines and not given a damn.

When I was in elementary School back in the mid 90's schools were just starting to crack down on food allergies products being in school. They were also trying to get us to eat healthy. The teacher had made a big deal out of the potato chips I brought from home. When my mom found out she made me carrot cake the first week, and apple pie the next week. After that they backed off. I was a super skinny kid and my doctor was even worried about my low weight. The schools just need to learn one size doesn't fit all when it comes to these stupid school programs

I brought a french document from the 1770’s to french class. Showed it to teacher. Teacher spent 2 lessons trying to translate it - we learned nothing but was also one of the few times I saw her happy. I also liked to bake. If it was one of my friend’s birthday, I’d throw them a mini party. If there were leftovers, the class after break could help themselves :) No complaints despite technically distracting class :)

You have so much more personality than any other r/askreddit. You are personally my favorite channel to put on while I play a video game or something else. Thanks for making such good videos :)

That bathroom thing is actually illegal here in the US. No administrative authority (principal, teacher, boss) can bar you from using the bathroom or face major legal ramifications.

Back in middle school, one day the teachers at lunch thought we were getting "too loud" so they made assigned seats at lunch, so me and a group of friends just ate in the library all year as part of a "lunch group" the school had set up instead. I even had the pass pinned to my jacket i wore all year.

I went to a private catholic high school. A teacher, who we’ll call Mrs. Green, was essentially Andrea Tate. She would rave on and on about how men are superior to their wives and stuff. All of the girls in our class, as well as most of the guys, hated her bias views. We knew she hated loud music, especially if it was “indecent” (aka not catholic), so every single person in that class who could play and instrument or sing were gathered in a local abandoned warehouse to practice a huge performance in which we would later do inside of Mrs. Greens class once we were ready. Six other kids and I played the electric guitar quite well, so we were the ‘guitar section,’ similarly to how an orchestra is sectioned off my instrument. Fast forward maybe two months, we preformed an entirely original song on full volume in Mrs. Greens class (fun fact: somewhere in the part of the song where one kid would rap, we called her a ‘mf-ing asshole’ in multiple languages, but the kid was talking to fast for anyone but the kids who wrote the song and the one or two kids fluent in any of the aforementioned languages to know.)

An actual rule bending experience is about literally last week in art when the class had to use paper rulers, so this one kid literally just taped it to their own ruler and went a while without being caught. Also, there was a kid that legit brought a giant Uno reverse card to school, and because he's a few grades lower than me, I have no clue what actually happened

I love this video! The fact that you gave your opinion, and gave expression and voices to said opinions in contrast to the semi-monotonous stories told beforehand was a great attention grabber and keeper, keep up the great work!

I remember the no phone in class rule. I had a mint tin in the shape of a flip phone from some sprint promotional and held it in plain sight while "texting". Once the bell rang the teacher came over and held her hand out. I looked up at her and asked if she would like a mint and turned the tin to offer. She smirked and walked back to the white board.

At my high school there was this one teacher who was very particular about his desks and chairs being perfectly organized and no one touching his prized poster. So in the last week of graduation year came around and all the students in those classes went in early to pull pranks, everyone who had ever taken his class went into his room with a copied master key and re-organized his entire classroom. All the chairs were piled into a giant, almost artwork piece with all the legs sticking outwards like a giant cactus; and all the desks were stacked on top of each other in this giant pyramid; and the cherry on top was when they took his most prized poster and carefully stuck hanging from the top of this desk pyramid. When classtime rolled around all the students that had him for homeroom stood out in the halls waiting for him. when he got there and asked why they weren’t inside they all just stood there smiling. When he tried to lead them in and saw the state of the room he Rose for about 10 seconds in total silence. Then according to them he burst out laughing and told them it was hilarious before politely asking them to put everything back (Though he insisted on being the one to remove his poster).

Similar to story 14, my school had many students enrolled in cadet programs like Civil Air Patrol (Air Force), Sea Cadets (Navy), Young Marines, and JROTC. I was in CAP, and most of us wore apparel like bandanas with the logos of the branches we were cadets in, and, of course, poked fun at the other branches. My VP thought it was some kind of 'gang war' and promptly banned all 'gang related paraphernalia.' In protest, all of us cadets wore our Battle Dress Uniforms (military camouflage uniforms) to school the following week, which she also banned. So the week after that, we all showed up to school on monday, in perfect dress uniform, and walk around in perfect cadence, as per Military code. At lunch, VP called all the cadets to the center of the main quad, presumably to ream us in front of the school, and we all lined up in our squads, stood at attention, and one by one, our squad leads did attendence, before they sounded off 'SQUAD, REPORTING AS ORDERED, MA'AM!' The look of fear on her face as she shrinked away was priceless.

1:40, at our school they had a problem where people would either go to the bathroom to talk or just go to the bathroom and never come back (I’m sure most schools have this problem). The teachers would only let a few people go to the bathroom at once per class. Not allowing you to go to the bathroom at all is a big problem. But at the same time it’s hard to keep people from abusing that.

My friend got dress coded because she was showing a tiny bit of her back. The next day she came to school wearing jeans, boots, a bra, and a tiny piece of cut up t-shirt covering the part of her back that was exposed by the shirt she had on the previous day. She got suspended but we’ve never laughed as hard as we did seeing our vice principal’s face that day

The “No cell phones out at any point in the day” Rule is pretty tame compared to my school; Admin snatching phones out of pockets and ripping open unattended bookbags to find a phone. We can’t even have phones on the bus and I’ve had a lot of emergency situations get 10x worse as a result. I’ve had my phone taken over 20 times first semester and I’ve never taken it out once.

28:48 my school actually has this as well as several vending machines! It's part of the school's Intro to Marketing class, and is open during lunches. They often sell energy drinks, boba, and smoothies, but can get quite expensive as of recently due to lack of funding for the school and graduating classes in general. I think it's a great idea, and it works better than the vending machines (which are almost always broken, whether naturally or by teenagers being dumb and kicking/punching them for no reason/to get them to actually work). My only real gripe is the prices, since it's a bunch of broke highschoolers they're trying to appeal to, but I can't really get too mad because I know why it's that way.

28:51 My school actually had a student-run convenience store! It was run by the student council to get money for band/sports/school events. They sold potato chips, pop, chocolate bars, etc. Unfortunately, I started high school around the time Super Size Me was popular, so by the time I was allowed to purchase things from the store(freshmen weren't allowed to make food choices, I guess?) it was shut down for promoting unhealthy food. Instead, students that had cars would just take orders from their friends and classmates and drive to the off-campus stores instead.

At my high school we could only where things with the school logo on it(not counting pants or shoes). So my world history teacher desided to dress like Napoleon Bonaparte for the lesson(he was my favorite teacher). He starts talking then turns around and puts on the hat for the costume. He turns around with the school logo taped to it. The hole class starts laughing. One student took a picture for the year book and under the picture it had the caption "always where something with the school logo". Sadly he left the school the following year but he still stand in touch with the students.

I love overly strict colleges, because of the people it attracts. I love it when everybody is nice, nobody judges, and is absolutely chill. I want to be in an environment where anyone can be themselves. I want to go to a college where people throw rocks at rocks, and say "I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS!"

already posted this on another one of your videos, so will put a long story short version of it here: boys rule = yellow shirts or no shirts, girls rule = purple shirts or no shirts one winter day our whole class came in all non-yellow (the 3 girls non-purple) shirts, they didnt have enough spares for all of us so forced us all shirtless we had a big class-wide snowball fight all day, not a single one of us caring about not wearing shirts parents got mad, school was sued, pretty sure a classmates' mother tore the teacher's shirt and snowballed him back in anger (though it happened after my bus driver picked me up so not sure it actually happened)

That's such a great response! 😂 Your uncle’s mom definitely had his back, and it’s hilarious how she turned the situation around. Nothing like a little family teamwork to challenge the rules =))

Another student and I shared the same first name. Funny thing the janitors kept looking for for us each especially in 5th grade. She would climb the trees at school and I would climb the building. Our 5th grade teachers would hilariously say it couldn’t have been the one standing there because we had been there to long to have done it. The janitors and the teachers kept mixing us up janitors looking for the kid climbing trees? They find me, climbing the building? They find her. They kept cutting the lower branches on the trees but it didn’t stop her. They thought it would stop me too but I just used the school dumpster - they never figured it out. Visited a few years back - the trees are still trimmed aggressively and the dumpster is still super easy to move. My kids know all about this story, they are good students; I hope they don’t get motivated to find loop holes like I did.

I really liked this video! Saying the story numbers really helped me when I was just listening and not watching. I also really enjoyed hearing the personal stories of the narrator and the feelings behind them.

Hmm, are we getting commentary now? I like it! This channel is so much better than all the generic TTS AskReddit channel, all because of the narration!

I’m happy there are more personal comments/opinions after the stories in this video. Makes me chuckle, keep it up!

I had a teacher my junior year that was known to flunk the kids she didn’t like. I was one of the kids she didn’t like. One day she said in the middle of class that she’d flunk me, naturally I went to school admin & they said it was too late in the semester to switch teachers. The class found out because I was friends with the popular kid in that class & proceeded to fail the class on purpose to make her look bad. The teacher still works there sadly but everyone got different teachers the next year.

Biggest bull of a rule I know of is the zero tolerance rule. People just started defending themselves because, whether you fought or not, you'd still get in trouble. The rule is still going today, my little brother goes to the school. They had an assembly and told highschoolers, yes highschoolers, to stop being so violent. There were 3 fight the day after. My brother was in one. Suspended for 5 days. My parents took him to a sushi bar and he got to stay up and play games that week, so long as he did all his home work for the week. School sucks.

My 10th-grade bio teacher would mark kids tardy for using the bathroom during class change-even if the student had asked the teacher before leaving. This was also the same class where we'd put our bookbags/phones into a cabinet that was locked after attendance was taken. Forgot to take out that day's homework? Too bad-you got a zero, even if you showed it to her once she unlocked the cabinet with five minutes left of class. One student even got detention for answering a question correctly, even when he raised his hand. She was a grade-A Karen, who believed students liked her, but many of us hated her. To make it worse, she was the study-hall teacher, so we kids in study hall who had 10th-grade bio were made to do our bio work/study, even when the kids who either didn't yet taken or already taken biology got to relax on their phones after their other work. I almost had an anxiety attack the morning of her final exam, as she created so much stress about what that final meant to us on day one when she reminded us how long until we took our final every month. Luckily, I passed her final, and I could finally relax in her class, while the kids who failed did the review for the retake. However, she never told us kids what our actual scores were. I just knew I passed and that was it. To this day, having graduated HS in 2021, I still don't know my biology final exam score.

y’all are lucky that you even get your phones back at the end of the day . my school took our phones for a day ,if they caught you again they would keep it until a parent comes in to get it and if they found it for the 3rd time they kept it until the end of the term

I guess it's not really a rule, but I had a chronic habit of falling asleep in class (undiagnosed mental disorders + understimulation will do that to a person). In my history class, this was especially prevalent, because my teacher was a stickler and wouldn't so much as let me draw during notes. So instead, I slept through them. Every single class. All of them. I can't remember being awake for a single note session. Well, this teacher sectioned our history tests in a set of 50 terms that you matched to their "definitions." All of these stayed the same year after year and were on Quizlet. I have a pretty good memory, especially when it comes to memorisation. The day before review, I would spend about twenty minutes on Quizlet, memorise everything, win the review games, then ace the tests. Teacher gave up on keeping me awake, and my classmates (who already didn't like me because I was a "nerd"/outcast) wanted my head on a pike. They sure liked when I was on their team in class Jeopardy, though. TL;DR: I sleep through history class and ace the tests anyway because the tests are glorified vocabulary tests.

28:49 my school had a convenience store ! It was run by the kids who were classified as trouble makers to help them direct their energies elsewhere. They sold school merch, food, drinks, and had popsicles on hot days! Even a microwave for the ramen they sold. I think the money was split between the school and the local Boys and Girls Club. It was really nice ❤️

well a little late coming to this video, but what i found hilarious about my highschool is that for my first year, they had a no hoodie and a no hat rule, the entire school broke this rule and the teachers gave up on trying to enforce this rule, it's my second year now and there's a new principal. Students are still trying to wear hoodies and hats, but the teachers are resistant(oh and by the way the rule for tank tops and others of that sort were taken off as well as ripped jeans as students were not listening)

@28:48 my high school had this (Australia), its called a canteen, students didnt work there (although some older students did occasionally) but they had most things you would find at a milkbar, ie: chips, ice creams, lollies, fruit, sandwiches, drinks etc & then hot food like sausage rolls, dimsims, chicken nuggets & hot drinks & frozen drinks, it was GREAT, SUPER busy though & milkbar prices (so like 5% more than supermarket) but it was really nice, especially in summer when they had extra frozen/cold things I actually knew the main canteen lady, as i used to help in the uniform shop where she also worked & so it was cool getting to know this lady as a person (I was a student when i helped in the uniform shop & actually helped in there after I dropped out too lol) My primary school had a couple vending machines but they also had a thing where if you wanted other food at lunchtime you filled out a form of what you want, put the money & form in at the office & then they'd order & pick up from a place nearby (once again things like hot food, drinks & snacks) my favourite days where when I could order stuff (motherfucking ovaltines!!!) I also went to afterschool care (from 3:30pm - 6pm) & they had great food, mostly things like cereal, sandwiches & fairybread, one of the workers there also made garlic bread on the reg & it was amazing

Friend of mine (graduated the year before me) wore a shirt that was deemed "inappropriate" so he had to take it off. He took it off and just went the rest of the day without a shirt. When they tried to find a shirt for him, they couldn't find one his size (dude is like 6'11 or 7' so yeah) so there was just a shirtless tall dude that day.

Homeroom teacher forced us to stand for the U.S. pledge of allegiance. He said if we didn't we'd be in all sorts of trouble, but that if we had a valid reason for not standing for it, we could give it to him and he'd pass judgement on it. The example he used was if you are a Jehovah's Witness then you do not stand for the pledge due to religious reasons. My friends and I promptly started a sect of the religion Discordianism and made our primary tenet that we pledge allegiance to nothing.

Love how thus guy doens't want to say when he graduated but then just admits that he was in highschool when columbine happened. Homie, we can narrow it down.

Yes! I love when this guy talks! It adds so much more to the video and makes me feel like he isn't kidnapped or something.

28:47 my school does that store thing, it’s only in the morning and they actually make money for themselves. A small cup of either coffee iced coffee or hot cocoa is a buck, two for a large. I do believe the school makes some money off of it but less than the high schoolers running it. P.s my school DOES do the whole bathroom thing, but you can only go in between classes no matter WHAT… they would rather have us piss our pants than let us use the restroom. ( I’ve personally seen it happen) we have 3 minutes between classes, also most of my classes and other peoples are from one side of the building to the other. That means we end up taking two minutes in travel time, like twenty seconds in getting our stuff, and it leaves about 15 seconds for bathroom breaks because the teachers close the doors earlier than the bell, also that’s on a good day, teachers most of the time say that the bell does not dismiss you, they do. So we end up being fashionably late… then when students ask if they can go to the bathroom the teachers say “ no you have plenty of time in between classes” no we did not.

At my school, we have that in school store you were talking about. There's many food and drinks along with merch and stuff that are rarely above 5 dollars. It's amazing.

In the last month of my grade 12 year we had a mandatory pep rally. I thought it was stupid and rlly didn't wanna go but rules are rules. The week before the pep rally was my graduation ceremony. So, I made a sign that said "I graduated last week why am I here" and held it up in for everyone to see during the pep rally. All my teachers thought it was hilarious.

hey im finally early! i noticed that your saying the number when switching stories, this is really helpful because i listen to these like a podcast while im doing stuff, its now so much easier to tell the difference!

Pulling a student aside and punishing them for something "distracting" like a hairstyle is arguably MORE distracting than whatever it is that was banned.

Not a rebel story but there were certainly consequences. When I was in Elementary School, I was gifted a watch that I had some sentimental value towards that I wanted to finally wear, only problem was I didn't know how to get the thing to work and like some kind of typical show the darn thing went off with me trying to get it to shut up, teacher took it and said I wouldn't get it back until the end of the school year, after waiting the whole year, never forgetting about it, I eventually returned to the teacher to get it back, only to find out she lost it or some bull. Jotted that down as one of many reasons, among a long list, to why I hate human beings.

At my school people aren’t allowed to go to the toilet during lesson times… THERE IS NOW PROTESTS THAT THEY ARE HOLDING 😂

My school banned flags and I wanted to bring my rainbow flag, but I couldn’t. My teacher for the drama club made me a mask (masks were still required) that had rainbow flags on it.

This was a rule for my school, but I only had one teacher that enforced it. My choir teacher. The rule was to not wear headphones or earbuds. I come from a family that's a smartass. So my choir teacher told me to fold some papers. I wanted to listen to music, so I put my earbuds in. My choir teacher immediately came and told me to take it out. I did, but then I turned up my volume to max to listen to music. My choir teacher came and I told her "look, it's either you let me use my earbuds or I put my volume at max. Either way, I'm listening to my music." She never bothered me about earbuds again.

Mainly Fact, At least you had a cellphone. If anyone used the word "cellphone" during my school years, the students and teachers would ask "what's a cellphone" with blank looks.

Thanks for saying the numbers of the story at the start.

if your phone is seen/heard, It is confiscated and you get a Detention, so technically you could just get like 50 phones and set an alarm off on all of them, you would get a detention but it was worth it

i must say, i like that you announce the next story (saying story {number} bc i like to listen to these in the background as i play videogames (genshin specifcally) and i used to not know when the next story started so thanks

in my school phones were banned everywhere so i joked around with a calculator as a fake phone and embarrassed the teachers, but thats not it. after most of my teachers new i did that i swapped my actual phone and the calculator so it still had the calculator case TLDR: faked using phone then actually used it

I love of how it announces the stories now!

Really loving the long videos. Keep it up man!

At my school, it's restricted (not very much forbidden) to eat snacks at any period unless it's break time. Me and my classmates have broken this rule for many years and luckily my teachers would turn a blind eye as we're mostly the "good kids." There's one time where we had a school event and it took much the whole school day, so of course we got hungry. Me and my usual group discussed how we have to buy a pack of pork rinds (chicharrones for y'all) to munch on and Mentos candy if we run out of the latter. My friends (Sish and Ren) brought a jacket with us when it's our time to go to the cafeteria and have a short eating period. Ren bought the pork rinds and I bought 2 packs of that Mentos candy (40 individual packed in total) and we hid the pack with Sish's jacket until it's time to go back to the event. My group were the usually at the back to talk about random shits, so we got very comfortable once we returned back. However, our adviser would stand by at the pack and monitor us, but he's a very chill guy so we're cool with him. My group started munching on the pork rinds while listening to the event and talk about it. I'd see my teacher looking on us and he'd stay quiet and watch. It's a constant thing and I still do it, but with candies and a yogurt drink.

24:05 -- LMFAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I could totally see myself doing that 😂😂😂😂😂

shout out to this channel for not using a bot to autoproduce content

Im 17 in junior high. I feel like a prisoner cuz my school takes JUST PHONES during the day. I actually read up on the rule and noticed it said just phones and brung a ipod in for music. Thats good enough.

Man this video makes me miss my old English teachers. One just totally got me and was always giving me awesome reading material and the other was this sweet old lady that just chuckled when I told a bully to fuck off and leave the new girl alone but in more intelligent wording. Then she said "Dont curse in my class but good sentence structure" the bully was kicked out and we went to read Bram Stokers Dracula 😂 man I miss them

During break and lunch times, students were reprimanded for moving in groups that were too large. People in my year group decided that to get back at the authoritarian leadership team, and they travelled the school in a group not shy of 200 students. Some students and teachers were trampled alike, and they were promptly given detention. A valiant gesture.

Oh story 44 was me to T. I was a terrible student, didnt do any of the work, but I always aced every test and was super relaxed and respectful, so my teachers always loved me. Especially in foods. I took all of the culinary classes at the same time in senior year, but had already been running shifts in a kitchen at a golf course for work. Everything they were teaching was so far below what I was doing at work it was a joke, even the "advanced" classes. I basically became an unofficial TA because the teacher thought it would be unfair to assign me to a group like everyone else. Easiest semester ever. I basically hungout all day making sure people didnt burn themselves and eating food with my teacher, to "help grade it". Even started eating lunch with her and the other teachers in the teachers lounge.

At my school, we had to wear a uniform. I rebelled in small ways. 1) The rulebook said we had to wear socks that could be seen over our shoes (aka, no ankle socks). A teacher told me that I had to wear knee socks or tights because I wear boots. I didn't want to do that. 2) Girls weren't allowed to wear pants under their skirts. I combined these and wore black leggings instead of tights. It was small and petty, but I got to stay warm and wear whatever crazy socks that I wanted to under my boots.

my middle school said that we couldn't have our phones out at all before or after or during school, if you were caught using it then you would have to personally collect it from the principal's office and explain what you did. it was very annoying and if you needed to call/text your parents you would have to ask permission and we also had this very annoying snitch/tattletale in our class that would always tell the teacher is you used your phone, he was given a lot of hate and he had no friends.

i used to go to a russian school, in Mongolia. i stayed till 9th grade and transferred to another school. anyway, in that russian school, u can probably imagine already how strict and abusive everything is. the teachers and especially the director were complete jackasses who would trip on their power. at the start of every school day, before 1st class began, the Russian anthem would play on the speakers and all students had to stand up and sing along. mind you, the students are mongolians, not russians. this has been going on for years. but then one day, one quiet kid just....doesn't stand up, nor does he sing. the teacher caught on and ordered him to get up and sing. he confidently but silently says "i am not russian, this is not my anthem" in the following few months, a rebellion started where the parents of students would eventually force the school to start playing the Mongolian anthem. and fast forward many years, i am now 21, and a few months ago news broke out that the school director is now in hiding from the law. i never rly did much digging, i think it was something about scandals, fraud, some sorta government stuff, idk. but i do know that the directors right hand man, also a jackass, got DEPORTED and is now struggling to live a decent life and feed his family. karma is a bitch, and he deserves everything he's going thru, but i do feel bad for his daughter who had nothing to do with it, and is now stuck with a useless dad

I like these ones about school, they're pretty funny and relatable. Keep it up

They do whatever they want to kids in school. Also, some of school's rules are unconstitutional if you live in the U.S.. Rebelling is fun. Makes me feel like one of the original settlers rebelling against Britain. Liberty and justice for all, unless you're on school property, isn't it?

I figured it out you old man, you graduated in 2001/2002

28:50 there’s something like that at the tech center in town. It’s next to the high school, and for a few of the thing you can buy (whether it be with your own money or what’s basically a paper version of a gift card that’s worth $10), there’s stuff like Gatorade, arizona tea (I barely know anything about the drink), cheez-its, pop tarts bites (if I remember correctly), hot coffee, tictacs (there’s mint, orange, and fruit), and some other things (generally there’s a break between class time (at least for me) since tech center classes (or at least the morning ones) take about 2 hours of the school day.

One time in English class my friend was holding his phone case out pretending it was a phone, our English teacher came and took it away, somehow, someway, she never noticed it was just a case

During my senior year of high school, I would sneak out of the school building during the lunch period. I would go out to a swingset and have Oreo double stuff cookies and a can of country time lemonade for lunch while I was outside of the building. I would also put in my earbuds and listen to soft rock music during that time. I will never forget doing that.

0:30 You sound like that teacher 🤣 8:48 This guy can't get off unless the rules being broken is like drugs and weapons lmfao

glad i was home schooled but i love the story of my favorite singer COLTON DIXON GOING TO HIS CHRISTIAN school with a mohawk he is a popular rocky CHRISTIAN singer

We actually had a student-run convenience store at one of the high schools I attended. I think it was Seneca Valley high school in Maryland. It was in an old janitorial closet and was really neat! It was only open one day a week or something like that, but it made good morale for the whole school.

Around maybe the tenth story, I was suprised to find out your Minnesotan, I am too, it’s nice to know that one of my favorite RU-vidrs in Minnesotan

"Gothic Joseph and the Multicolor Trench Coats" is now my favorite story

Broooo i just love the side commentary in between stories and they are so funny

We had a weird school tradition, every time someone dropped their plate everyone started clapping. Everyone.

My dad came in clutch... crap school wouldn't let me enroll in the 3 classes I needed to graduate. My dad was up at the school so often, I think they were just tired of dealing with him. I got caught signing myself out of my work-at-your-own-pace class, so they called him one last time. He was SO MAD, they just let it slide. Don't under estimate an honour student's angry parents.

John Taylor Gatto was the New York State teacher of the year a number of years ago. When he accepted his award his speech was about all the massive issues with the New York State public school system.

This is more of the rudest thing a kid has said to a teacher; So, my school has this rule, "three bathroom passes in each class for each semester." So, one day in science, this kid asks the student teacher if she could fill up her water bottle, the student teacher says, "Sure, but that'll be one bathroom pass." The girl says, "But I'm filling up my water bottle, that shouldn't count as a bathroom pass." "I didn't make the rule, the school board did." So this instantly turns into the girl screaming and shouting at the student teacher, and eventually cussing her out. The student teacher had been crying, and the actual teacher had been "making copies," in reality she was probably just chilling in another area or classroom so that the student teacher could have more experience teaching alone. So, the Counselor had been in the area I guess and had apparently heard the shouting, so she came in and was asking what was going on. Soon enough, the teacher and even the school police officer had arrived to the classroom. So, the teacher had gathered the rest of the class and took us to the classroom of one of the assistant teachers, which hadn't been in use at the time. So, I would imagine that they probably ended up getting one of the principals, if not both, in there because this is like a really stubborn student that literally cusses out other students and teachers all the time, and for some reason is never punished because she has "anger issues."

I had this cousin who broke not one, not two, not three, but EVERY rule in his school. And the thing was, he never got expelled. EVER. How he did it was very simple. The school was one of those that was big on getting the students to learn. And he used it to his advantage. When he broke a rule and someone threatened to expel him, he said “go ahead. Expel me. You will merely fail in trying to teach your students” they had no choice but to let him go. And it worked EVERY time. He became the legend in his school. He even basically controlled the school. A few years after he graduated, the school shut down for reasons unknown.

My dad did this for his graduation and I did the same for mine. My dad and I didn't go to the same school, but when graduation rolled around, we were very explicitly told we would not be allowed to decorate our caps and that we had to follow a certain dress code, but they said nothing about our shoes. My dad for graduation painted flame decals on a pair of cheap boots and grabbed his diploma on them. When my graduation rolled around and I heard the same thing from our principal, I asked my dad to paint me a pair, and he happily obliged. I hope my son wants to do the same thing when he graduates.

OH MY GOD MAINLY FACTS IMPROVMENTS HERE SAYING “story 1-2-whatever” is SO USEFUL THX I think the last thing you can add is the fails at the end Thx so much ❤❤❤
