School, Where do you draw the line?

okay okay okay.....i got one and this one was something I could believe that it happened. Get this....

A student is walking down the hallway and sneezes another student who just happened to be nearby tells the student who sneeze god bless you. Well a teacher nearby heard the student say that and gave the student a detention for saying the words God Bless You, when I heard that I was like what? that makes no sense....

This is the most ridiculous rule I have ever heard:
In our school we have to carry a small piece of cloth to clean our shoes in case they get a bit of dust on it. Consequences follow if you're caught without it.
We also have to wear our school uniform with our blazer at all school functions.

The uniform part is understandable, but carrying around a cloth to clean your shoes? Christ that's a bit perdantic (sp?). Our school did prefer polished shoes, but if we had some reasonable wear & tear or skuff marks they didn't care, so long as we did polish our shoes (they were black leather/fake leather) once in a while.

It's pedantic but yes, that is going over the line in terms of decency. At least I didn't have to worry about shoes with my clothing. The school code was to wear tan or black slacks and a decent dress/polo shirt (I forget what kind it was now). We could at least wear whatever shoes we desired, as long as they were tasteful and in good repair.

Our school code on shoes is if they're wrong detention.It has to be black leather and has to have laces.If you dont and your doing a science experiment then you cant do it.You get sent to the office.But our teachers are real slack and hardly check.

Also the shoes must be brown, there's only one place where you can find brown shoes in town, and it's expensive. But it is to be expected if you go to a snobbish school such as mine.

Paint them brown, they will never know.

Right so last week my friend came over and we were talking and he started telling me about something that happened in school. Alright so during science class the teacher left the room during an experiment. So a kid thought it would be funny to mess up the teachers example. (They were mixing chemicals and using fire for something.) So he did. Nothing happened so he got bored and went back to work, the teacher returned soon and continued the example. So she could see something was wrong. It was bubbling and the gases were coming out so she quickly tried to get everyone out but it kinda exploded and the room was full of gas.

Yea so after everything was cleaned up and everyone was safe she turned to a student (who apparently got in trouble often) and blamed him. She started screaming and wouldn't listen to anyone, so finally he just took the blame and went to the principal. He told the principal the story. In the end, even with all the other students defending him, he was expelled.
