I went to an all girlks state school, and they had rules almost identical to those...I didn't think they were too harsh at the time, loads of people flouted them anyway !

I know some schools that if a teacher catches you swearing, then you're instantly suspended for a day. In my school your skirt has to be way past your knees, and your not allowed to eat and drink anywhere apart from the canteen and you're not allowed to eat at anytime apart from lunch. You're only allowed to have your ears pierced once, and you're not allowed any jewellery or any coat that has fur, leather, decoration, pattern, and that is not in black or navy blue.
Strict School!
I was surfing looking for websites about the tv show Roswell, when I stumbled across a website for an atcual school-Roswell High in Georgia.
Wanting to get some idea of what high schools in the USA are actually like I checked it out.I was amazed by the school rules:
>really strict absence rules eg Students who have missed 10 days or more of school in a school year will be required to provide additional verification including doctorsÂ’ statements.
>Students must not leave class for any reason without a pass including the teacherÂ’s name.
>Students are not permitted to sit in parked cars before or during school hours. Students must have a written pass to return to their cars.
>Skirts/shorts/dresses must be at least three (3) inches longer than the longest finger when extended by the side. Students should measure the skirt/short/dress before coming to school and be sure that it is of proper length when standing and/or walking. Bare midriff, tank top shirts, and tank top dresses are not permitted. Shoulders should be covered.
>Radios, walkmans, pagers, cell phones, laser pens, etc. are not permitted and may be confiscated and returned to parents.

Wow... my school is really laid back compared to yours! I'm at college now and even my college seems more laid back! (Handing in car keys???) We seem to come and go as we please!

Doesnt seem to strict to me - at my first school they would hand out detentions for near enough anything. You could get a detention if you smelled of smoke - they just presumed you were smoking and gave you a detention. If you came in wearing trainers they were confiscated and you had to walk around in your socks all day. Mind you we're talking about a school that did occasionally give the cane, even though it was actually illegal at that time.
I went from that school to one that was completely laid back, and where on my first day I heard one student threaten (in a joky way) a teacher using language I can't use on this site! The teacher just laughed. It was a complete shock to the system after having come from such a strict school. One of my friends mum's was a teacher at the school and on the last day before xmas we brought beer in. My mates mum was walking past while we were smoking and my mate, with a fag in one hand and a can of beer in the other raised his hand to her and said "Allright mum!" and she "Allright" back. Was a cool school to go to!
