“This rule resulted in a lot of accidents and unhappy parents.”
Here’s what they had to say below:

“We werent allowed to say that we had to use the bathroom.
We had to call it ‘The Thunderbox.’
My teacher wasnt super strict, but god save the poor soul who asked to use the bathroom.”
“While in elementary school, I was very tiny for my age.
So, my feet were unable to touch the floor while I was seated at my desk.
The teacher was adamant that your feet should touch the floor.
Embarrassing as it was for me, she put a huge dictionary on the floor under my desk.
I guess she thought that would solve the problem.”

“There was a three-strikes system in my second-grade classroom.
“At my sons school, they earn ‘money’ for good behavior.
My kid’s first-grade teacher would make the children pay ‘money’ to use the restroom.
Theyre in FIRST GRADE!
Of course, they arent going to give up their ‘money’ to go potty.
It resulted in a lot of accidents and unhappy parents.
Needless to say, she isnt a fan favorite at his school.”

“It was not a teacher but a substitute.
About twenty minutes later, he told us to read silently while he reviewed our math lesson.
We silently read the whole day since he fell asleep and even excused ourselves to lunch and back.
He still slept the whole day.
Our whole class went to the office the next day and got him fired.
No one ever saw him again.”
“Kids werent allowed to wear character T-shirts because it might make them pretend to be that character.
For example, if a kid wore a Spider-Man T-shirt gasp they might play like Spider-Man.
Can you even imagine??!”

“My kid has braces, which has resulted in painfully chapped, cracked, and sometimes bleeding lips.
I got a note about them breaking the ‘no applying makeup in class’ rule.
The makeup in question?
A stick of Carmex.
I guess the rule also applied to ChapStick.
I had to get my kid a doctors note… to put on ChapStick.”
