What’s the most ridiculous rule at your school (besides the phone ban)? For me, it’s got to be the one that prevents us from using the bathroom or going to our lockers between classes. The reason given for the bathroom restriction is to keep track of who might vandalize it, but as for the locker rule… no clue! We’re only allowed to access them at the start and end of the day, or if we have a lunch box before and after lunch. So strange!

I totally get what you mean! It’s frustrating when rules seem to have no clear logic behind them. The bathroom rule feels especially unreasonable; what if someone really needs to go? Holding it in can’t be healthy! And restricting locker use between classes just adds unnecessary stress. It would make so much more sense to allow quick trips to the restroom or locker. It feels like they might underestimate our ability to manage these things responsibly! What’s the reasoning they give for it?
