Parent, student, or staff, what’s the dumbest damn regulation you’ve personally come across at an educational institution?

    Not school, but I had a ton of idiotic rules in preschool.

    1 . They decided to ban having stuffed animals on naps for no reason because ‘we were big now’. (we had a specific nap time every day)

    2 . Some of our outside time was spent with younger kids in the daycare, but then we had, I dunno, like 2 hours every day when only the preschoolers were outside. It would have been nice otherwise, BUT we had to play some specific thing, like in the start, you suggested something you wanted to play and then others would join you if they wanted. You weren’t allowed to just play by yourself or just wander around with your friends. 6 y/o autistic me hated it, suprise suprise.

    3 . We weren’t allowed to stand while swinging, even though we used to be allowed to do it when we were younger. We couldn’t do it while the younger kids were outside because it would encourage them to do it as well, and we couldn’t do it while only preschoolers were outside because you had to play with a group.

    4 . For some time, we weren’t allowed to walk on the lawn. It wasn’t even recently planted or anything.
