School Rules

[jeppi26 1,855]

Young lad is going up to senior school after the holidays. So he's there now getting his bearings on where to go for his lessons. Well here's the rules he's a little nice boy lol gels his hair bangs on the deodorant lol he come home today and said he was told if he goes to school tomorrow with his hair gelled and his deodorant in his bag (they have to wear a blazer all day they sweat) he will get 25 minutes detention. Now to me that's stupid? What's your thoughts? I AV thought on going to meet the head of the new school to see what's going on?

[jeppi26 1,855]

Same here mate the world as gone mad in everything but when he come home and said that ffs what's going off

the school has its own rules, why the f**k does everyone think they don`t apply to them or their kids, stick to them to remind their offspring that at sometime they might have to comply with what others want as a condition of being there rather than what they want to do themselves

there is some stupid rules, they cant tell parents now if the kids got nits apparently.

All school rules like that do is condition a kid to act like a sheep. It f***ing destroys creativity. More and more schools are starting to realise they get better exam results when they relax shitty rules about uniform or haircuts and let the kids be more individual at a time when they're finding their place and how they fit into the world.

complete bollocks, the o p is about hairgel and deodorant being against school rules, how the f**k does spiky hair and smelling like a whore house make any kid more creative, better to make them realise that in life there are rules they have to stick to and let their imagination and creative streak crop up in other ways, god knows with some who are allowed to breed now and the way their kids are they should not have been allowed to breed rabbits let alone children due to having the do what I want attitude no matter what the consequences

They reckon even 'un-schooling',literally not teaching your kids a thing and just letting them do what they want,is getting better results than any school.

 

My oldest flexi-schools,and hasn't learned a thing from school except maybe manners with other kids,he learnt to read and write at home almost on his own because all of his books are about things he likes,mostly dinosaurs,and he wants to know more than I can tell him.

Following their own interests and just supporting them has him well ahead,all kids should do it imo.

 

Dinosaurs have spread to him becoming interested in maths and surprisingly Latin,his poor mates are all in school 35 hours a week staring at a white board,half asleep through boredom,begrudgingly trying to work out how many apples Jill will have left if James takes 3 away.

 

Meanwhile my lads working out,if it needs 11 kg a day how much meat does an Allosaurus need to eat in a year?

And loving every minute of it.

But if the lad in question goes to school he has to play by their rules,unfortunately.

One of my sisters does the "un-schooling" thing to a degree and honestly I dimissed it as a load of hippy shite at first but after learning a bit about it and seeing the results in her wee girls it's hard to argue with it...

 

I do think the social aspect of school is very important and not something kids should miss out on though. Her girls go to clubs and have groups of other homeschooled/un-schooled kids they meet up with but it's not the same as school really. Flexi-schooling where they still get that socialisation a few days a week with the benefits of a more tailored home/un-schooling approach sounds like the best of both worlds.

Actually it's been proven home schooled kids are ahead socially too.

 

Interacting with people your own age 90% of the time's not natural,speak to a home-schooled kid,no matter their age they'll talk to you like a peer,not an 'adult'.

Fair play, as I've not got kids myself it's not something I've done a lot of research into just going on gut instinct. Personally I'd worry that their social group is too "managed" in a 100% homeschool setting, if they're only meeting other homeschooled kids they're not getting a very broad social experience. Of course depending on your views that could be a good or bad thing

The flexi-schooling definitely seems the way to go in my (pretty uninformed) opinion though, best of both worlds and as the child gets older you can discuss the balance between homeschooling and time spent at school with them.

 

It is a good point you make about how they engage with you as a peer rather than an "adult", that's definitely something I've noticed with my wee nieces

Christ if you went to my school smelling like a fairy, or with your hair jelled youd have been the target of every school hard case, sounds like a proffesional footballers academy what you want him to go to.

[jeppi26 1,855]

Whats this the hunting life hard case clan ffs. It's a school not a concentration camp ffs. Bet you and your kids are a laugh to be around. Next one I will keep things to myself and do what I think is right by me and my kids
