No hair dye, no lip rings, no nose rings,no bright colored make up, no "ridiculous" hair styles, no more than 2 ear piercings, nothing revealing shoulders-thats my school thanks to our new assistant principal. We even had this one girl who dressed exactly like she came out of a magazine. It wasn't inappropriate. It wasn't bad or anything but they said it was to "distracting" for her to wear to school.

A few questions/comments... 1. What qualifies as a "ridiculous" hairstyle 2. Do you mean no actual hair dye or no dying your hair? How could they tell it was dyed? 3. The piercing thing- that's ridiculous. What if it's your religion/culture?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

read my other comment to define "ridiculous". Like if you have brown hair then come to school the next day with like red or something they'll make you change it and if you put like blue or pink or even bright red in your hair you have to be in iss until you get it out. Also they said school is not a place for religion so and that its "distracting". So you can't have it. If you don't take them out the suspend you everyday you come back with them still in.

Yeah It's a baptist school, but that's dress code, not what they wear when they get home. they still follow the skirts rule because that's their religion, but the stuff like bracelets and earrings they wear all the time. I guess the school said they could be held liable if the earring tore the girls ear, bracelet flew off and hair someone and your hair can't be down because it might get caught in something

My school has the shirts three fingers from their collarbones rule. So many girls were dresscoded in the first week of school because of it.

I don't think that the three fingers one would be so bad. I guess they have to set a standard somewhere so boobs aren't hanging out and you could just buy a bunch of tanks to go under stuff.

At my school, they banned bandanas because they are a gang symbol and they can be used as a weapon.

They have a great big book of the dress code banning a bunch of things but nobody (including teachers) really cares...you still see girls wearing shorts so short that their asses are hanging out and people who just got out of bed and a bunch of guys in Morphsuits showing the outline of their junk.

oh god we have a uniform and kids in my school still show up in morphsuits. our drama department actually got a bunch of black ones. i am tempted to give up my part in the play just to be stage crew so i can wear one xD

They banned beyblades and pokemon cards when I was in elementary school, and they might've banned silly bandz and bakugans recently but I'm not sure. And the middle school in my district banned I Heart Boobies bracelets.

I brought in a bible, silently reading it in class. The teacher came up to me and said to put it away, because it felt distracting. I thought I'd be smart and say 'You are causing a bigger distraction now than I am, sir.' Detention was worth it.

During class i guess they want you to be paying attention not reading. but after or before or after you should be able to I mean it's the BIBLE.

Our school has a stupid dress code and rules: 1. Everything has to be school color [red, white, navy blue, and royal blue (except pants, which have to be khaki or navy)]. 2. Jackets are only permitted when the principal says so. 3. Absolutely NO tennis shoes allowed. They have to be either black or brown, and a bunch of other crap. Basically, everyone has to wear Sperry's. 4. You can't wear your jacket at lunch; you WILL be accused of stealing food. 5. Emblems on shirts are prohibited (unless, of course, it's the school's emblem). Even small, unnoticeable emblems that blend in with the shirt will get you written up. And a bunch of other crap that I don't feel like writing. Not as bad as some of the stuff already written on here, but still...

In seventh grade, I made a sword for a book report, and I made sure to wrap it up so it wasn't dangerous. It got taken away and I got an F on it.

My brother's middle school banned Yu-Gi-Oh cards(I probably didn't spell that right but whatever) and yo-yo's. Apparently the Yu-Gi-Oh club and the Yo-yo club had a battle about which club was better, and someone got attacked by a yo-yo.

Tamagotchis at my school, because it's a gang symbol. And apparently so was wearing pink. In the end even having the same kinda hairstyle was to the school, so they gave us uniforms and we can only wear are hair down or in a pony tail.

The public schools here in South Africa have uniforms. In primary school, they banned hugging. They banned cellphones (even though there was some pervert trying to get a little girl in his car in one of the parking lots). I just put mine on silent in my pocket. I got in trouble twice for having long nails. We had to have them shorter than our fingertips. The teacher made me cut them in class with a scissors. I had a side-fringe, with the hair a little bit longer on the side, and they made me clip the longer part up so it looked really weird. In high school, no cellphones/iPods/mp3 players, even at breaktime. No necklaces, even if it's completely hidden under your shirt. The girl's shirts were white, and we weren't allowed to wearing coloured bras, although that does make sense. No facial piercings, only lobe earrings(only gold or silver) and if you dyed your hair in the school week, you had to die it back. Dying it in the holidays was okay. Thank goodness I left and started homeschool.

In high school, there were 2 computers in the library(as well as the computer room, but you didn't need permission to use the ones in the library) with internet, we were told that we could use them for research, and no facebook(they didn't block it though) and also nothing ''bad''. They used the example that if we were on a website where there happened to the a blond joke, we'd get kicked off the computer.

If my school banned yoga pants and/or sweatpants I would probably cry. Yoga's are my favorite type of pants and I wear those or sweatpants probably like 3 out of 5 days of the week sometimes more. And about 70% of everyone else at my school are the same way

I am willing to say that compared to your guys' schools, mine is the best EVER. The dress code is: shorts must not reveal underwear, no halter tops or tube tops. Must wear closed toed shoes for PE. Thats it. Granted, we live in California, so it gets pretty hot here and would probably be a crime to make us where pants all the time... Also, I have a nose piercing, a double-piercing in my ears, and plan on getting triple and a cartilage. I died my hair pink in sixth grade (I'm in eighth now) and my Vice Principal told me how cool it looked. A bunch of guys have really long hair (Although on most of them it looks terrible.) I use a duct tape backpack, so they really don't care about that. People wear work-out clothes, skinny jeans, tank tops, sweat pants, spaghetti straps, anything. My school hasn't banned anything for it being a "gang symbol." The worst that could happen if you violate the dress code, is you have to put a jacket on (shirt) or you have to put your PE pants on.

That is NOT all Californian schools. I live in Southern California where it gets super hot too. Shorts/skirts have to be no more than 4 inches above the knee, and any tank tops must be at least 2 inches thick. And the no tank top for guys rule was JUST changed. Oh, and no holes in jeans. and no off the shoulder tops. It's stupid.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Oi...that sucks. We're allowed to wear off-the-shoulder tops as long as we wear tank tops underneath.

True. Well, its not like Fudge was much better, with his defying Harry Potter and all. Hey! Maybe Harry'll be Minister! I talk to Dobby a lot. The seem to have a bromance.

I go to a Catholic high school, but it's surprisingly not strict. We have to wear uniforms and stuff, but the girls can pick from two colors of skirts (2 colors of pants for guys) and five different shirts. We can wear whatever shoes we want, and we can wear colored socks, leggings, or tights under the skirts. We can wear whatever jewelry (even I <3 Boobies bracelets), but we just can't have facial piercings. Some girls also accessorize with like big belts or scarves, etc. There's no rules about touching each other, either. We hug and jump on each other in the halls all the time!

for the sophomore semi formal at my school, the permission slips said that front to back dancing is not allowed. Nor 90' angles, nor gyrating. I personally, don't dance, but I don't want everyone else just standing around awkwardly. I'll blend right in!

My school CLAIMS to have banned PDA, but they don't bother enforcing it. The teachers monitoring the halls get a kick out of making fun of them, though.

My school banned sex on the bus. Go figure. They also banned any bf/gf relationships during school hours. Does that include teachers??? LOL
