Is my school normal?

You are lucky you even get to go to the bathroom. Some of the teachers at my school wouldn't let us go no matter what!

hmm my school has like 1200 kids (its hs)
and its a new law that soda can't be in the machines , only low cal bubbly drinks like izzys.
we have a bunch of bathrooms and theres a smoking one too !! hah and yeah we do the pledge but were not punished..mmm ur school is mostly okay i guess. i bet u live in a small town though cuz usually thats what ends up happening

I got one having to pay for lunch that is lower grade food then mcdonalds.

I really miss my school some times. No matter how much tou hate your school, by the time you graduate you would miss it more than anything else. This is my last and final comment on IIN, so goodbye IINers!

It appears I am the resident OLD guy... the Disgruntled Old Coot.

I was a middle school and high school teacher for 3 years.

Not bragging... I was very popular with most, but not all, of the students.

I taught the truth in whatever class I was in... a substitute teacher covering all types of classes.

I left the educational field after 3 years for various reasons, one being I could not be a part of a HUGE educational system with one of its major functions being the indoctrination of USA youth to OBEY!!!!!

OBEY all authority. Obey the elite-ruling class. Obey our corporate masters.

The folks at the top of the socio-economic hierarchy send their kids to special private academies where the indoctrination the vast majority of students receive is not present; those privileged kids are indoctrinated to be the next master ruling class.

my last school i went to had aboouttt 1200 students but remember it was pre-8

allll are norms exept the last one

150 in mine, mostly the same problems. Christian school and i'm an atheist, go figure. We get to say the pledge to the US flag, christian flag an bible... :/ I say none of them.

our schools had the same way of thinking lol

if somebody tries to make anybody say the pledge, they are breaking the law. they cannot legally make anyone say the pledge, or stand.

if my principle yelled at me for that, i would make him go on the computer that instant and serch it. then watch his reaction. makes me wish somebody would try to make me say it, its fun defying teachers.

Mines is almost nothing lik that the principal is cool and he talks tu u like watever books are all tagged up sso they dnt blame no one for something simple...u school is was to strict SCARy

Our schools are almost the same except there is only 150 students and the vending machines are full of water and apple juice.

When I got done saying the Pledge, I would say
"GOOD MORNING VEITNAM!"

hmm.. all your schools are obv gay :\ at mine we have 1400 pupils me loud coke and soda and loads of drinks we dont pay for broken books we only pay if they are lost lol but i dont think your aloud any electronics at any school tbqh :/ and wtf is a pledge lol? x

no pledge and way more students

200 students is not a lot at all.
And we never even say the pledge at my school.

I don't understand why you wouldn't say the pledge optional or not. If America bothers you that much leave.

almost 1900 in my school lol but its built for WAY less students lol

normal,hell i couldn't wear hoodies in my high school

same but my school had 1600 students and we couldnt use the lockers for dat. same here but it was a pain in the ass. good memories tho but the principals mustve been bored to have me in their office over sumthin little which is bullshit

rancid food?????? sue em'

Vitamin water? We get a machine with 8 rowsbof dasani water and u get golf?

700 in my school

sounds worse than north korea

"Saying the pledge is required " that's illegal. It's against the law to force people into pledging. So, you obviously made this all up without doing a little research first and I'm under the assumption that you're around 14 years old. Yeah, you didn't learn yet. Wait 4 more years and then come back and try this question again. Hopefully next time, you will get more freaked out responses.

My school is like that but there's 300 kids

I live in Wisconsin and I think they just made a law where schools have to serve healthy stuff so they took out soda machine and left vitamin water one. Smaller schools tend to have less sports.

My school Is the same but we don't have football or volleyball but we do have soda in the machines

the pledge *

^ my school does tge pledgw

Dude, the pledge is not a law. Legally they cannot punish you for not saying it. Besides that I thought due to new laws they weren't doing the pledges anymore in schools....

Either way, the pledge is optional, it's your right and some of the other things while wierd are typical of a small town school.

I have to pay 80 to 100 for my broken books

*good

Awesome would send my kid there....so food to hear

The only thing that struck me odd was the amount of kids in your school!. Where do you live? more people attend my church lol!

I see. Thanks guys!

Same except we have soda, you can skip the pledge but the teacher might look at you funny.

Totally normal

Same

Everything is about the same for mine too... but be lucky you even have a soda machine even if there is only vitamin water. We don't have that :\ Or golf. That's weird.

My school isn't allowed to have any electronics. And all of those rules are the same as my school. Other than the paying for the book shit.

It's just school rule and you MUST obey them.

Sounds pretty much like any sort of school. My school had most of those rules except the pledge thing since I'm English.

But I'd say your school is probably like most schools especially in regards to the leaning back/feet up thing.
