Did you have any utter ridiculous school rules?

Just curious, we had to change from our outside shoes to inside shoes which seemed a faff and if we didn't have clean inside shoes we had to spend the day in socks.

We had to eat lunch at our desks without getting out of the desk or talking to our friends. After that was over we had to go outside to play no matter the weather. -40 was a great time to play on the snow bank or go outdoor skating.

@hippyjoe1955 No talking at lunch! Seems a bit cruel.

@Ross19 There were all kinds of silly rules. I got the strap twice on each hand for throwing snowballs. Throwing snowballs was against the rules you see. As a boy I had to take my hat off at the door. As girls my sisters could wear their hats throughout the school. As a boy I could wear pants to keep warm in the winter. As girls my sisters had to wear skirts or dresses.
