School Rules

[neems 2,406]

 

 

 

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

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

Neems, now you had better take a seat for this........... I do not mean to worry you but your lad sounds just like me when I was his age!

 

I might not totally agree with your thoughts on state education but I can definitely relate to what you are saying. It's funny, last weekend my mum was talking about how my reading was quite poor at primary school basically because I had no interest in it (and still don't really), until one teacher noticed that it wasn't that I was slow but just not interested in fiction. She allowed me to pick my own books, about dinosaurs funny enough, which I found engaging unlike the books the rest of the class were given. Largely primary school failed me, I was often in the 'special' group and even accused by my yr-6 teacher of cheating on my SATS (I think?) because I scored well above what they thought I should have!

 

From there I spent daft amounts of time reading encyclopedias and space books, even had a dinosaur excavation/museum CD for our first family PC. I must say Secondary school was better at suiting the teaching level/type to the individual. But that's simply the benefit of their size, having multiple classes for each year group.

 

 

It's good that you found a way to make it work,in secondary school I just found it easier to hide at the back and make my own entertainment,at the other kids or teachers expense most of the time.

 

Funnily enough I also scored above average on my SAT's ,much to everyone's surprise.

 

Imo you should take things into your own hands rather than hope to find a decent/understanding teacher,because it might never happen.

But he'd need a tanker load of deodorant.

The lad is probably misinformed, there's probably no such rule. Kids come home with all sorts of stories.

Malt is right about the obsession with uniforms and uniformity of thinking in this country

Finland has the best education system in the world judged by several criteria. Kids don't start school until they are seven, the brightest and the dullest are valued equally, there are no uniforms and emphasis is put on happiness rather than achievement. This is not some hippy ideal, it actually works. The teachers treat the kids as friends and vice versa.

In many countries, ours included, the curriculum/system is designed for the smartest kids and the rest are deemed inferior. This percolates through to the job market where there are ridiculous gulfs between 'academic' and 'non academic' jobs.

The deodorant might just be banned to stop any solvent abuse taking place at the school, as for the hair gel lmfao I couldn't imagine my old man whinging on a hunting forum about me not being able to gel my hair for school, ffs man get a grip

[neems 2,406]

Tbf deodorant is flammable,it's probably been made a rule after someone made a flame thrower,you'll be able to use roll on ones.

My kids are brought up well pal and know what's wrong and right and know there manners. This is about petty little rules that schools use. If it was against the the law to have gel on you hair then fair play but it's not. Like whe a school in Leeds sent a lad home because he ad a pattern shaved in his hair wtf is all that about.

I was banned from school trips for having a skinhead and my mate who is half cast aswell for patterns- back in 93 lol,there was a little click of us who all wore our blazers inside out,had skinheads and trousers tucked in to our Dr martins lol-most of the old teachers in my old school had no problem giving you a slap or a few fags to f**k off on the mitch. great days lol.atb dc

I'm no big man or a nob head I've just been bought up to respect rules no matter how petty they seem and if you get caught breaking them you deal with the consiquences, you sound like you want to be the big man tbh with your aggressive attitude, when in reality your just an Internet mouthpiece who's whinging because his kid can't get his own way
