Stupid rules that has nothing to do with our education

[aLexXaut0p5y]

I am a student from Cyprus and I go to a public school. Well yesterday it was the first day of school and it was THE WORST FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL EVER. I pierced my nose and I have a seamless hoop ring right now. Every teacher was fine with it except one b*tch!! She started bitching about my nose ring and she humiliate me in fron of the whole class. She said: Would you like it if your students had piercings? I'll put you a chain on your ring so I can drag you like a dog. The whole class started laughing and she said to me to go out and remove it. I couldn't remove it and now it's infected -.- I can't get it! We go to school for our ''education'', not for listen the teachers complaining about our appearance!! We are not allowed to: dye our hair, wear makeup, paint our nails, tease our hair, wear to many bracelets and have piercings. We are also forced to wear a uniform(it isn't really bad, but it's a waste of money). Isn't that just stupid? And the teacher who told me to remove my nose ring is always wearing heave makeup, has red highlights and has 3 piercings on each ear and girls in my school are allowed to have only 1 piercing in each ear. Only 1 word: IRONIC!

Yeah, those rules sure has nothing to do with your education. But what do you honestly expect from someone when they are given ridiculous power over you? And there is no need to be a censorfag here.

Getting all the students to look the same will encourage them to somehow think the same. If they start letting you express yourself and dress the way you want, that'd only let you think for yourself, and they don't want that. Sadly, the teachers don't even realize the true purpose of dress code is not to get you guys to look "neat and proper" but to force you into a conformist mindset.

My principal is the same way. He's ridiculously obsessed with dress code to the point where he uses the PA system before every class to tell teachers to check if students have tucked their shirts in. The classrooms are freezing, and we can't wear jackets with hoods. Um..does he know how hard it is to find jackets without hoods? And they have to be solid-colored or with the school logo. And we're not allowed to have extreme haircuts, hair colors, or piercings. So today, I went out and got an "extreme" haircut (a bobcut is not that bad), dyed it plum, and got a nose piercing. I didn't do this out of mindless rebellion; I'd been planning this look for a few months now, but there's no way I'm going to let some dumb fatass principal who's oblvious to the real problems of the school tell me how to dress.

This sounds very much like this article that I read about this girl who got her nosed pierced because it was a part of her "religion" supposedly knowing that she wasn't allowed to.

It is unfortunate but she can get in trouble for that incident. The teacher just can't yell at someone just because they have a piercing. I would get a parent and the principal involved in this. This isn't fair to you as a student and I would call it bullying since she is putting you down as a person just to get what she wants.

Where I live, most public schools do not have uniforms. However they do have rules like no unnatural hair colors, no short shorts, no low cut tops, nothing that has vulgar or violent things on it, etc... In elementary school, we were only allow to wear plain red, white, blue, khaki, or black clothes. No pictures, or words on the clothing. This was to keep kids from picking on other kids. Everyone wore the same basic things, so that the poor kids, and the wealthy kids wouldn't pick on each other.

They actually do have a reason for it. The purpose of school isn't to make a better person of yourself, but to make you an obedient citizen to them.

I'm not saying it's good

[Nah]

Most teachers aren't aware of this purpose however. They seem to still think that it is actually educating us.

School also has nothing to do with your education, so they can make any rules they want.

I've been raising money to dye my hair dark blue, get a third ear piercing, and my first belly piercing.
Fuck the police.

Don't you love bumps that are completely unnecessary?
