Schools are becoming WAY too involved with their students' personal lives, amirite?

Understandably.

the fact that you can be suspended for getting in a fight over the weekend and outside of school is ridiculous

People at my school got expelled for cyber bullying. Yeah, it was pretty crazy.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Cyberbullying is a crock of shit. I could see why people get upset- but it's generally the same as regular bullying. Everyone always claims thay "well cyberbullying comes home with you, you can't get away from it." That's why there is a block button on almost every social networking site in existence.

Really? What about multiple accounts and getting your friends to harass the person? This happened to me, and blocking the whole school is a bit ridiculous. She didn't stop either.

The world isn't a Disney movie! An entire school won't turn on one kid, even our generation isn't that messed up. Most schools don't even have your stereotypical cyberbullies. Some students will CLEARLY stick up for the victim!

A kid I know made a Facebook page to make fun of people in a school club and went waaaaay far, like to the point of outing a kid, saying really personal things about one couple, and implying basically that one was a legitimate whore. Yeah....

When students get in trouble for stuff they did outside of school, thats when it gets ridiculous. School isn't there to discipline you; that's what parents are for.

Both for discipline and homework. My life has been taken over by homework.

I know right? One of my school's rules is that no student is allowed to be in town after school and anyone caught down town will receive automatic detention. How fucked up is that?

I've taken standardized test at school asking my religion, how smart my parents were and how fat I thought my parents were (no kidding).

by Anonymous 12 years ago

That is for statistical purposes. ex (made up): Test scores by religion (then a graph). Or Scores of students who's parents went to collage vs those who didn't.

What about the fat part?

She's either making it up, or they came out with a new statistic about fat parents being good parents or something. AMERICA F**K YEAH!

I went to talk to the school counselor about a girl who was bullying me, and instead of suspending the girl (who had been filmed by the security camera defacing my locker and stealing my lunch) the counselor called my mother and recommended that I see a therapist about the persecution complex she thought I might have. The sad part is that I used to have a different assigned counselor but transferred to this one after the first one decided that I probably wasn't allergic to peanuts and had made the whole thing up for attention. She'd even called a doctor, read him part of my file, and asked him if it sounded legitimate.

...Wooooooooow. What a fucking dumb ass.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Well, I'd already really pissed the first one off. I had a note from my allergist saying that I should be allowed to carry my EpiPen on my person at all times in case of an allergic reaction, and the principal had approved it, but it was a violation of the zero tolerance policy and the counselor was angry that I was allowed to do it. And then I had to leave a class because the teacher had brought snacks for us to eat while we watched a movie and had forgotten that I couldn't have peanuts, so I had to go sit in the library for that period and I was excused from the worksheet. I think that was when she decided I'd made it up; when it got me out of work.

If you can sue for that shit, you should.

What's fucked up is that the people who are supposed to help you in school are the ones who don't do shit to actually help you with problems you have. This girl stole my whole wallet, and left a condom in my bag, WHICH WAS FILMED, and the A.P said that if I didn't see her do it, she couldn't do anything. I'd take legal action, but she said since it was only $40 and my school i.d in there, I couldn't do anything.

"only 40 dollars" Please learn the value of money. My parents and in would go apeshit if I lost that much.

SHE said that it was "only $40." I know the value of money, that's just what she said.

I know! A kid threatened to have someone come kill me (he's in a gang) just because I was standing up for my two friends (who are both harmless nerdy guys) when he was picking on them for no reason. Then he went and told the deans some bullshit story about us bothering him. He called one of my friends down to talk about it and the school accused us of bullying him because there were more of us. Why do they always believe whoever tells first?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

yo the guy who told is a straight BITCH. He said he was going to get his boys to come and get you. They probably thought that the beef was stupid and wouldn't help him, now he goes to the principle to solve his problem to get at you. He cant do anything for himself. A straight BITCH!

It seems that schools make up more and more rules every year for the sole purpose of getting their students in trouble. My school closes the school doors 5 minutes before you are considered late for school. If you are locked out, you have to walk around the entire school to get to the other doors, that do not open until five minutes before you are considered late

in my brothers school (its a middle school), if you wanna date someone, you have to tell a teacher. then they have to call your parents and tell them. the next day you must bring a signed permision slip from your parents saying its ok for you to date. if you dont do this, you get alot of detentions and you are FORCED to call your parents while a teacher watches

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Do people actually follow the procedure?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

i guess some parents complained that their kids were off dating when they didnt know so the school made sure your parents found out

by Anonymous 12 years ago

well i still think it's weird. parents should understand that it is impossible to know what their child is doing every second of the day

by Anonymous 12 years ago

thats exactly what i thought. kids have to grow up at one point in their lives and by the schools doing this, its not allowing kids to have privacy.
