It seems almost every other day I read some story about moron school administrators enacting stupid overly general policies that make them look idiotic, causes the students needless misery, or persecutes innocent students.
The latest one is a school district banning lip balm causing a student's lips to become so chapped that they become unbearable and started bleeding.
I read another report where a student who used ginseng was labeled a junkie, suspended, and made to take drug classes. Yet another school banned doing cart wheels. When I was in school I got into trouble for erasing on tests (spelling and scantron) after that was banned.

Reason: removed sentence with inflammatory word in it.
School Administrators are some of the dumbest people in modern society. Why? Who else wants to spend their whole day yelling at kids for skipping class, swearing at teachers, chewing gum, breathing, etc.
The good ones are out there, but they're few and far between.
I would be willing to bet a lot of the admins were picked on when they were in school and are taking it out on the next generation.

News about normal schools don't make the news.....

In the school system I was in (Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The same school system that made national news with the incident of suspending an elementary school student for chewing a pastry into the shape of a handgun.), it seemed to be that a lot of "administrators" were former gym teachers.
When I was in high school, we got out of school a day earlier than the junior high. On that last day of the junior high's year, a friend of mine and I went to the junior high (which was in our neighborhood) to talk to a couple of the cool teachers we'd had. We ran into my friend's former history teacher (not one of the cool ones) and spoke to him for a minute. He mentioned that the next year, he was going to a different school to be one of the administrators.
My friend said, "Oh, going to be one of the yellers."
The teacher replied, "Is that all you think the administrators do, yell at the students?"
To which my friend replied with an emphatic "YES!!!"
Because dealing with parents all day makes you go insane. If you think these rules are ridiculous, its because there are hundreds of idiotic parents calling all day ranting. When I was in high school my English teacher told us we weren't allowed to read Shakespeare because a parent called and complained......
