    Why do schools have such stupid rules?

    The teachers told us we couldn't use the bathroom during class or eat because you couldn't do those things when working but that's false. I'm in college and never had to ask to use the bathroom and can eat in class.

    Smoking wasn't banned when I was in school, but it was restricted to certain areas. There were't a lot of 'rules' that I remember but physical aggression was a no-no. I absolutely hated bullys so I used to beat them up. Irony, I became a bully's bully :D

    Student has a cough, takes a drink of water ends up in detention. I understand discipline is required but some ****e is soo stupid it just makes students rebel.

    My Spanish teacher who happened to be Italian asked me to stay back after class one day to help her with some stuff. Anyway after a bit of flirting and speaking sexy Flemish on my part things took a kinky twist and we ended up getting it on in a store room off the classroom.
    After we or I as should say I finished rather quickly we both got fixed up and went our separate ways. We never spoke of it again.
    I did get caught by the vice principal minutes later having a celebratory smoke and I ended getting in trouble.
    Just underlines the dangers of smoking.

    Took the day off school even though I wasn’t sick and borrowed my friend’s father’s 1961 Massey Ferguson. 3 of us then headed into Galway City on it to explore the sites - the diving board, Terryland Shopping Centre, Supermacs on Eyre Square.

    Meanwhile the prhoide in my school was convinced I wasn’t sick at all and was only mitching from school. So he started sneaking around my house but was accidentally knocked out by my bitch of a sister who also doubted I was sick.

    Ended up crashing the Massey Ferguson just outside Barna, and barely made it home in time before my parents.

    Sounds like crazy stuff.

    Would you think about making a movie about it.

    Didn’t do a lot of my homework. Missed a lot of days in the senior cycle because I just didn’t like school - the social aspect rather than the learning. Whatever, I still did well in the LC. I just taught myself the stuff I missed.

    I'm out of school nearly ten years now, off the top off my head tough,
    Uniform issues.(Principal had a thing for ties and black shoes)
    Not doing homework.
    Mobile phone use.
    Smoking.
    Drinking on trips. tours.(However the teacher did bring us to a pub on a tour)
    We also had spare keys off the school floating about.
    Talking, being disruptive, etc.
    Generally being a prick.
    Cheating in stupid text and exams.
    I normally got away with most of it.

    What school rules did you break?

    My granny died about 20 times in secondary school - always a sure fire winner to get out of homework.

    Once when there was a sports day I came in wearing a tracksuit. The sports day didn't start until after lunch and I was supposed to get changed then but I wore the tracksuit all day.

    The same day I was minding my own business between classes when this lad gave me a kick up the arse and walked off. I walked over to him and pushed him as hard as I could sending him flying into the wall. He couldn't fight his own battles so his brother who was about two years older than me stood up from the radiator he had been sitting on and gave me a box in the face. My nose started spouting blood and I thought it was broken. I went to the principals office with blood pouring from my nose and said "I think my nose is broken". His reply was "WHERE'S YOUR UNIFORM?". Stupid cunt.

    You could call it "JohnnyFlash's Day Out".

    Wow you should write a piece for the New Yorker.

    The rule that said you had to go every day and smoking in the toilets on the days I did turn up.

    Lots of trivial bull in primary school like not being allowed go to the bathroom or having water if I was coughing (I have a genuine condition). My mam just told me to get on with it and she'd deal with the consequences.

    In fifth year we went on a class trip to Berlin. The hostel had a bar/nightclub and we all went in on the Saturday night. Most of us were drinking but a few weren't. We were all sent back to our rooms and the teachers came around and asked everyone individually. Most owned up, but I didn't, and they let me be, even though I called a female teacher, 'Sir, I mean, eh, Miss'.

    In sixth year, a group of us - all of whom had a reputation for being generally well-behaved - used to go to a local pub for lunch/pints every Friday afternoon. We were all over 18 and wore hoodies to hide our uniform jumpers. We had double-PE and Irish after break, so we'd usually skip PE and head back in time for Irish. As we strolled back into school one afternoon, we passed the headmaster on the corridor, stinking of drink (us, not him - he was a lifelong pioneer). He gave us a knowing look and said "ah, there's the lads!"

    If you didn't have a reputation for being a troublemaker, you could get away with anything.

    When I went to school the teacher who organised the trips was a senior teacher.
    He used bring us out to clubs and pubs.
    In the weeks leading up to the trip people used tease the younger teachers who were never on a trip about going to the pub, etc and they didn't believe it.
    Then when it happened they hadn't a clue what to do and were out of their dept and just started drinking to.

    Am I the only one who brought vodka and smirnoff ice in a flask to my Leaving Cert exam? First one and got a measly 250 points.

    I mitched off once to go to a Dana concert.

    I used to bring my dog with me to school now and again. He'd bark outside and I'd be asked to bring the dog home. It was a half hour at most to do the job but I'd be gone from school for an hour or an hour and a half. Great days.

    Ha i did the same, I'd let him follow me every so often, I'd bring him in the school gates and from there he'd be going around to every classroom for a while until i was told to bring him home, simpler times indeed

    Does anyone remember the lads who were expelled from Oatlands College? Some 6th year and one of Mick Wallace's sons got expelled for making a Facebook page on slagging teachers (mainly sexual things). My school took a harsh stance and even 40 students who simply liked their page were given a detention.

    I broke every school rule.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,420 ✭✭✭✭sligojoek


    Back in 1979 a few 6th class lads managed to get the keys of the CBS. They had th e bright idea of robbing all the leathers. SOmeone squealed on them and a few days after they were brought out to the yard and walloped round the arse and the back of the legs with replacement leathers for about 20 minutes by three CBS cnuts while the whole school watched. One of the CBS has done time twice since for kiddie fiddling in that town and two others,

    Smoked in the toilets a couple of times. Threw a kid's book out the window. Late for class sometimes. Cursed a couple of times in class. Surprised I still have the job to be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,667 ✭✭✭Skatedude


    Said i didn't believe in God, so ended up in hospital with broken fingers from the "yard stick" Parents told it was a accident playing football. I was told i'd be expelled if i said otherwise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,744 ✭✭✭✭Wanderer78


    Challenged school on my appearance, i didn't meet their criteria, I won, teachers views can be a little dump at times, to say the least, and to have a child point this out! schools are weird places, why are we intent on making kids miserable!

    The younger brother kidnapped the baby Jesus out of the school crib and left a ransom note. Sent fingers and all.
