I'm sorry. I've just been yelled at by teachers for doing absolutely nothing because of those rules.
Though I will say, the hood thing in this case isn't because of not being able to see your face. We're not aloud to have hoods up and hats or anything of the nature of course for that reason. That is an entirely different situation. I understand that. Its simply that you cannot have a hood, even if it's a fitted shirt that happens to have a hood on it. They would make you take it off/change your shirt. Their excuse that they gave us specifically was because they thought someone would try to hide a gun or knife in their hood. I don't know why, either, being that that's not something that ever happened anywhere near here.
I've been yelled at for literally doing nothing because of these rules. Like, that I didn't IMMEDIATELY take my coat off when I got in the door in the winter, or when I got lost and accidentally went near (not into, just near) the eighth grade wing in the seventh grade or when a friend of mine got sent to the office for having gloves on in class without the teacher even asking her to take them off first. It also became a problem, mostly the issue with the age thing, due to some issues with classes we had because of construction. Gym and Art were at the middle school this year because of said construction. Art was on one end of the middle school and gym on the other. If you had art and gym in succession, then in between classes you would have to walk around the school and into a different door in order to get to the second class and would still be expected to be on time. You weren't aloud to use the hallways in the Middle School if you were a High School Student, even if you had classes there.
The rules are enforced rather eccentrically is all. I should've been clearer. I'm sorry. I realize there are reasons for these rules, and I realize they aren't the same as the chapstick issue. That's just ridiculous beyond all reason. They just peeve me a bit.
Oh and don't worry, I know about the silly-bands thing. My friend and I taught an art class for a day at an elementary school as volunteer work, and they were practically using them as currency. We watched them on the playground and there was a girl that had a massive plastic bag of them. It was ridiculous. All I could think of was "Those are colored rubber-bands! WHY!?" They're banned at all the schools now. It's also, I think, that kids in elementary school are at and age where they feel the need to collect things and are therefore more likely to get distracted by something like silly bands. When Highschoolers do it, they're just being dumb.
Im sorry my post sounded immature. Honestly, though. I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything. That's going to bother the hell out of me for days...
