School Rules

We're at the stage where we are looking at high schools for second born.

Talking to other parents has revealed some interesting insights into modern schools, in terms of rules:
  • One school insists that kids carry their planner in their right hand when walking through school
  • School uniform - have to wear tie (an outdated concept for most of real world), among other strict rules for uniform (cost being an obvious downside). I mean really strict rules.
  • One way corridors (unless you're 6th Form), so you have to go round the whole building to get to a next class nearby, even when its quiet.

This isn't a modern phenomenon:
When I was at school in the 80s, we had a teachers path, that ran between the two main buildings. We had to walk on the road.

Is there any benefit to the kids for these stupid rules? I recall finding uniform uncomfortable, and a distraction as a result. Polo shirts seem the way forward, but many schools don't seem to go for them.

What stupid rules did you have at school?
