I presume you're in America, right?
The school district thinks they own you, and they're pushing you around. And you're not gonna do a thing about it, nobody ever fights for themselves.

It's quite a shame that even in America, kids are treated more like Pets than people. They expect you to come when you're called, and when you do they think your parents have succeeded, but you could say that about anyone and they could turn out to be a serial killer.

Also they force you to do the pledge of allegiance, basically they're forcing you to be a patriot. That's how much power they think they have.

they'll only force you to do the pledge if you don't know that they can't

I never use my locker nor lock it cause it is in the worst possible spot distance-wise. I carry my 25lb backpack everywhere.

They will dock you. Whether it's a behavioral point system they have put in place, or they will eventually try and forget with you.

My PE teacher suspended a kid for doing that once.

Technically it is unconstitutional to force students to do the pledge ,but of course schools still have it as a school rule. I agree with you, Paral, because they do act like they loving own you. Whenever you walk through those doors, in fact, they care about what you do outside of school too, you lose your basic rights. You don't get your freedom of speech, for example, saying that the school is treating all students like pets. Every single teacher apparently has the "right" to embarrass you in front of the class, and you have to listen to whatever they say and not have a negative attitude toward it (one teacher said this, if you don't like what they say, don't say your opinion and shake your head in agreement). Apparently they are all of our guardians for Christ's sake. I love most of the teachers in my school, but some others treat us like pets.

They put me on alternative assessment for going on strike. I feel like I should sue them, but they'll get what's coming to them.

My middle school doesnt even have lockers. Why? It was originally a preschool. The hallways are a giant mess because were a junior high and high school.

Pfft. You'll move on from this really quickly, especially if you go to college where the staff won't treat you like a tiny child.

What are the "many benefits" other people get?

Three days of hanging out at the swimming pool at the high school nearby, it's olympic sized I think

stuff could get stolen, especially if you go to a dirtbag school

not a dirtbag school, but they wouldn't let me store my backpack there.

My science teacher let me put my backpack behind her desk, I have to get it after lunch though. On Fridays I don't have science before PE, so I don't know what to do.

Don't worry, I have it too.

Was it the story about the kid with the inhaler and the backpacks being thrown over lockers?

[Hawt]

i cant chew gum in school

[dorkdotdan]

You guys have sucky schools.

My school has a "Don't forget with us and we won't forget with you" policy, very effective.

[Flatflyer]

In my Highschool I literally bring my backpack and my Jacket around with me everywhere. its much more efficient for me.
Ive been doing it for so long now ive forgotten my locker combination lol
But it has saved me a few times. Like today at school the fire alarm went off and it was -38 outside. everyone else was freezing while I had my jacket on and was perfectly fine.

[Ayxrion]

our school doesnt allow us to bring anything except our books. they're too scared we might have a loving gun in our jacket/backpack. if you bring your jacket and/or backpack in class you'll get a referral.

This stuff is the truth. Except they don't force us to say it but they'll force you to stand up.
