School ke bhi kya din the… these are some of the most memorable days of our lives, and they will live on in our hearts forever. But what if you went to a school where you couldn’t become best friends or where you had to use the restroom three times in one semester? Believe it or not, there are schools all across the world with weird student regulations. Here’s a rundown:
It is impossible to make best buddies.
One of the earliest interactions we form, generally at school, is friendship. We are always there for our best friends in good times and bad. But that is not permitted at Thomas’s school in the United Kingdom. In fact, making best buddies is forbidden for students! According to the school, they seek to safeguard youngsters from the trauma of having close friends break up with them. Prince George, the young prince and son of Prince William, began attending Thomas’s school in Battersea, London, with the hopes of making friends. What are your thoughts?
Teachers are not permitted to use red pens.
Because red ink is a very negative colour, UK instructors are forbidden to use it to grade or make changes on pupils’ papers at an academy in the United Kingdom’s county of Cornwall. Instead, they are required to use a green colour. Teachers write nice remarks on students’ work to encourage and motivate them. According to the Daily Mail, vice-principal Jennie Hick told the paper, “Switching to the new marking system is absolutely not about us turning all warm and cuddly.”
In Chinese schools, students take naps at noon.
Between 12:10 and 2 p.m., pupils at Gaoxin No. 1 Elementary School in China are allowed to take noon naps. “Children who take a lunchtime snooze on their desks have the support of their parents,” one of the teachers said. Gao noted that because lunch is at 12:10 p.m. and lessons start at 2:00 p.m., parents do not have enough time to pick up and transport their children home to relax. “On the other hand, resting on the desks can help the children feel more refreshed in the afternoon.”
Gao went on to say that Gaxin No. 1 Elementary School has been enjoying noon naps like way since the school first opened, regardless of the season, and that no child has ever fallen from a desk. “We have rigorous guidelines, and there is always a teacher monitoring over the youngsters when they nap.”
“If the parents can pick up and drop off their child, they can also appeal to the school to have their children returned home to rest at noon,” she explained.
Ban on relationships
Dating is prevalent among girls and boys nowadays, and it appears to be a distraction from their schoolwork. Taking this issue seriously, many Japanese schools have completely prohibited partnerships in order for students to focus on their studies.
It Isn’t Allowed to Have a Nice Look
Everyone nowadays wants to appear beautiful, but is it possible to do so without using cosmetics? In some Japanese schools, pupils are not permitted to wear makeup, have painted nails, or have shaven legs. The officials urge pupils to concentrate on their education rather than their appearance.
There will be no high fives or hugs.
When we’re in a group and someone cracks a good joke, or when we win a game as a team, we give high fives and hugs, or when we see friends after a long vacation, we hug each other. However, in the United Kingdom and the United States, some schools have put a rigorous ban on these physical interactions. They believe it interferes with the academic experience of the kids. This rule was met with opposition from many parents.
Students are only permitted to use the restroom three times per semester.
What would your initial reaction be if you were asked to attend a school where pupils are only permitted to use the restroom three times per semester? Of course, you’re going to say no! However, Evergreen Park High School in Chicago enacted this restriction in 2011 to ensure that pupils did not lose critical class time.
According to one kid, one of her classmates who is dealing with the issue, “She needed to use the restroom twice, and the teacher made a big deal out of it. And it was something that had been exaggerated, so she was escorted by security “Sam B, a student, remarked
According to NBC Chicago, the regulation is intended to discourage students from using lavatory visits as an excuse to miss class and to ensure that students who may miss critical class time due to a bathroom break have a built-in provision to make up the work.
Male and female students are separated by a curtain.
Male and female students attend class at Avicenna University in Kabul, Afghanistan, in new classroom settings split in the middle by a curtain, which recently went viral on the internet. That means that in school and college, females and boys are not permitted to sit together.
Have you ever heard of these strange school rules?
