These are from my high school (Hindley High School) and im sure most of you will remember old school rules and if you go to school still you can post em heres my top 5
1. All ICT Homeworks must be made in Microsoft word and a full license must be purchased (So no using Open Office and saving in .doc they will find out )
2. Linux is Banned all together! using linux at home and using it to complete IT homeworks gets you a F (Nazi like rules)
3. No Ipods even without cameras. This is just plain retarded nuff said,
4. No Outside Foods or Drinks (No Dr Pepper? Aww)
5. No Thumb Drives containing .exe or .bat files (So i cant even fully convert my files to .doc Fuck you)

Are you F***ing kidding me?
-
That's some shitty rules. Let me guess, America?
-
Are you F***ing kidding me?
Nope even though ive proven to them that open office contains no harm to computers they will stand with their nazi decisions and because i use Ubuntu Linux im stuck with open source because i dont want the NSA looking at my pr0nz
That's some shitty rules. Let me guess, America?
x
Think again its the UK
-
How would they be able to check if your Microsoft Office key is genuine anyway?
-
What would they be able to check if your Microsoft Office key is genuine anyway?
Yeah they ask you to take in the Key you get when purchasing it and if its fake your homework for the year all get F even if you buy it
-
There's always a solution.
Burn the damn school and switch to another one.

I dont want to go to jail at 12 years old
-
None of this when I was at school in the UK.

And what if you can't afford to pay £130 for Microsoft Office?
-
And what if you can't afford to pay £130 for Microsoft Office?
Almost everyone gets it for free with windows but i dont use windows because i think its wrong to pay companys like microsoft and some people convert it at home but i cant find software to make it convert fully to a .doc in linux
To keep this On Topic please only post dumb rules and maybe we can take this somewere else?
-
Sense that make does not
How can they keep their license with such rules in the first place.

If I was you I'd tell them they're more than welcome to buy me a new copy of Windows 7/8 and Office, however I wouldn't be able to afford it.
Also if they grade you down for it, make a complaint to the education board.

Only reason they give you an F is because it isnt made in supported software because they cant risk opening it and i know its stupid but the teachers told me straight that they have no problem with it its just the IT technicians playing it safe
-
1. All ICT Homeworks must be made in Microsoft word and a full license must be purchased (So no using Open Office and saving in .doc they will find out )
Illegal in most countries due to unfair competition rules/laws.
2. Linux is Banned all together! using linux at home and using it to complete IT homeworks gets you a F (Nazi like rules)
Cannot force you to use a certain OS nor can they detect if you use Linux at home.
3. No Ipods even without cameras. This is just plain retarded nuff said,
iPods in breaks and before/after school sounds reasonable to me.
4. No Outside Foods or Drinks (No Dr Pepper? Aww)
You cannot buy your own food and drinks and eat them at school?
5. No Thumb Drives containing .exe or .bat files (So i cant even fully convert my files to .doc f**k you)
What are they afraid of? Some 12 year old trying to install a RAT on his teachers PC? Exe files will not even launch automatically since Vista, lol.

Pirate dat shit son.

"Security" risk due to macros

My Thumb drive is formatted in Ext4 (Linux) so its fairly easy to find out
3. No Ipods even without cameras. This is just plain retarded nuff said,
iPods in breaks and before/after school sounds reasonable to me.
No Electronic devices from home allowed on school grounds
4. No Outside Foods or Drinks (No Dr Pepper? Aww)
You cannot buy your own food and drinks and eat them at school?
Nope so i often buy about 5 35p energy drinks and sell em for 50p to my mates
5. No Thumb Drives containing .exe or .bat files (So i cant even fully convert my files to .doc f**k you)
What are they afraid of? Some 12 year old trying to install a RAT on his teachers PC? Exe files will not even launch automatically since Vista, lol.
Not launching EXE's is kinda Ok because a lot of 16 year olds (Year 10) try to bypass security
If they support Microsoft Office that means you don't have to.
Pirate dat shit son.
(Unless you're Linux)
Like i said i use Ubuntu Linux
Here are 3 more:
1: No BRANDED footware
2: P.E Kit MUST include Football Socks for non-football related games (One i dont obey)
3: If you use Red Ink you get upto 2 hours in detention

I lol at the fact that someone instantly assumed America lol
Regardless the first set of rules are obviously because someone hired an IT crew who forgot the T part. The main problem I have with schools is there inadequate computer security over here I noticed my school is using a non licensed version of Windows I find it funny but whatever the reality is if schools aren't ready to take the necessary actions to properly protect there own infrastructures and instead build rules in an attempt to secure it they have no thought in mind to the students well being. For the record in America if a school would pull something like that they would probably get hacked by a student in the school or a massive amount of pressure would be put on the school board for reform.
Last year something nicknamed Ucidion was developed to exploit a bug in the schools network it was administrated via flash drive and the school found who did it but instead of banning flash drives and expelling the student they put up the necessary system to prevent that local DoS that crippled WiFi for two months and enlisted the student to find more preventable flaws in the schools own security, they even went as far to make a class to teach the computer discipline behind networks like that any school who uses rules to stop something like that does not deserve to be teaching anyone.

That school is utterly RETARDED but the student would have most likley passed it onto another student if
expelled or suspended and yeah your right about my first set of rules you should read the seccond one (Football = Soccer if people reading this are like WTF)
-
I invite you to Dubai schools, where rules are set to be broken. They don't monitor their shit.
-
and I thought my school was bad for not allowing lucozade.

He was suspended for 7 days I didn't mention that but the school understood that if they were to expel it would fix nothing and leave many vulnerabilities, and don't you guys have school boards or someone to complain to about this nonsense?

-

They aren't run by the government by your school governing body or headteacher who must follow the rules of the government. But even still the government is not this restrictive in its legislation...
-
hahaha because of some shit that happen my grandfather made me mad because of school and my mother is living in bulgaria i toke the 1st bus and got there how ever you know the think that police checks your passports and etc i succusesful passed it after this i toke a strong beat up because i got from greece to bulgaria alone :D

Not trying to be offensive but i cant quite understand that is this what you are trying to say
Because some shit that happened in my life my grandfather made me angry because of my school and my mother is living in Bulgaria so i took the first bus and got to where the security checks your passports and i was successful and afterwards i took a strong beating of my grandfather for leaving the country?
-

Either way i aint standing up to my schools head teacher and these rules only came in this year when he joined his name is Dr. ButterDick (A real Dr.) (Real name Dr. Ian Butterfield)
no money at school no eating? strange
No it basically means all food on school property must be purchased from the school
Those are odd rules there.
Heck, they are way more strict than I have at work!
School is a strict place at times
No offense, but what the f**k did you just say?
(Hint: Try not to be racist)
-
You could actually make a hell of cash smuggling doritos and selling it twice higher.
-
Wow... that's really absurd.

He said that he was mad at his grandpa because of some shit that happend at school so he was about to go back to his mother who lives in Bulgaria and took first bus to there, later on he got beaten up for doing that without permission.
-
(Real name Dr. Ian Butterfield)
Well I wonder where he's got this strictness from. It definitely isn't from the NHS.
-

In my school, selling lucozade is like selling drugs or something. People bring them in in their bag and sell them secretly trying not to get caught.
I think lucozade is only in the UK so if you don't know what it is its an energy drink

All ICT Homeworks must be made in Microsoft word
They obviously don’t want you to have nice typography...
-
Mine are better
- No electronic gadgets at all.Get caught with em and not only do they get confiscated but the teacher beats your ass up, not to mention probably suspended
- Everything needs to be hand written
- There is a 50 year old system of maintaining 'copies', you practically re-write your entire fucking book in more detail over the course of the year. If you dont have it all done, not to mention indexed you get a 30% mark deduction in your exam
- Everything about you is graded on more than 50 spots on what your teacher thinks and its in your report. A kid in my class got a 'A' in sports and he has a leg disability and cant play at all.Almost all of these predictions are heavily inaccurate and practically label the kids for life
India for life bruskis

Yo keep postin dem retarded school rules
Please keep posting im curious about other peoples old rules for schools
-
I remember in my old school back in Greece we had to walk around with Internal ID cards. If we were caught without them we could be suspended and questioned by Security Officers who were armed with vests. Though this measure was only applied after a stabbing incident occurred inside school property.

Compared to my ICT department,
- We have access to every Microsoft software created so far, for free.
- Use w/e the hell you want as workstation, as long as you're able to use the internet
- Use of ubuntu only in a virtual box.
- Don't hack into other people their servers and change their backgrounds to justin bieber
- Don't get caught when trying to bribe a teacher with alcohol.

My school's a bit relaxed with this.
- Regardless of what you use (OSX, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android etc.) you can work as any other.
- Because you have to use Google drive/mail or any e-mail service + software that outputs .doc files.
(I gave a plain text file and it still got accepted, got me a C however)
- you can choose to use your laptop/tablet or any available PC to do your work, but not your phone(wut)
- Listening to music is OK but on low volumes
(Most ignored rule and i am amazed people can still hear well when their headphones are set to a harrier taking off next to you)
- Note down EVERYTHING that you do during class
(Yes, this includes taking a piss while you install an OS on a virtual machine)
- Do your work, nothing else.
(Exception's of course skipping tracks or something, but I see others using youtube/facebook more than work)
Quite.

No! I hate Mac, W8 ftw.
Now that is just ignorance. List several valid reasons why you hate it. And one of the reasons cannot be because you can't play games.
