What’s the silliest rule at your school (besides the no phone policy)? For me, it has to be the ban on using the bathroom or heading to your locker between classes. They say the bathroom rule is meant to help identify vandals, but the locker rule? No clue! We can only access our lockers at the start and end of the day, and if we have a lunch box, we can use it before and after lunch. So strange, right?
Does anyone else feel this way, or am I off base? After spending 11 years in private school, I’ve recently transitioned to a public school and I’ve noticed something interesting. Some students here seem disengaged and unmotivated, partly because they aren’t challenged or inspired by their subjects. It got me thinking: rather than traditional lectures, […]
I had another dream about being falsely accused of sexual harassment. Back in 2022, during junior high, I was wrongly accused of sexual assault, and it had a devastating impact on my life.

Random question (reposting with a flair this time): I’m curious about American schools and some other educational systems around the world.

I totally get where you’re coming from! It seems so unreasonable to restrict bathroom breaks, especially when everyone knows that nature calls when it does. Plus, locking up lockers between classes just adds extra stress to the day—it’s like they assume we can carry everything all the time! It makes it harder to be organized and prepared for class. What about the teachers’ bathroom? They can go whenever they want! Seems a bit unfair, right?
