Back in the day I used to go to a church sponsored school. I'm not saying that church and religon is bad, but we had some pretty stupid rules:

Harry Potter, Pokemon, Yu Gi Oh, and Magic were banned for being "Satanic". We had a chapel service every Wednesday morning where we were told that Pokemon and all that were used by Satan to lead us away from god (My friends and I later played Pokemon with our GBCs). One hapless kid was going through his cards when a teacher overreacted and tore them all in half. (Note I later called the teacher a bitch before I left for college)

We weren't allowed to celebrate Halloween because of it's Pagan background

No dances because thaat would give us false impressions. It turns out that the 'stricter' Catholic school down the street didn't care and let us come to their dances. The ban was revoked later.

We were banned from playing dodgeball because a kid got hurt (he was the teacher's son)

We were banned from playing team sports because it hurt kid's feelings to be picked last

We were forced to serve soup to the old people and act as waiters while the teachers did nothing but stand there. A friend and I hid in the bathroom until one of the hated teachers yelled at us to come out and work. The friend in question and I quote "Bitch why don't you do something?"

We really didn't have a science class because it didn't fit with the Bible. We actually did learn about the other stuff, just not genetics and evolution.

We had to learn cursive "Because that's what grown ups use in the real world."

We weren't allowed to swing too high on the swingset "Because we might hurt our selves or hurt a kid."

We still had to go to school, on snow days, in Nebraska where the weather can easily be a bitch

The teachers told us God would send us to hell for lying to them, and told a little girl that she wouldn't see her cat in heaven because animals don't have souls

No talking in halls, no climbing on playground equipment (then wtf is a jungle gym for?)

And there's a lot more of stuff to tell but there's too much. Did you guys have anything similar?

In my middle school was absolutly lame the rules in place were messed up, you had to wait like 5 mins to get hot dinners and 10 mins for cold dinners and if you tried skipping the line, which I did regurlaly then you would get sent to the back also we could not take bags in the canteen nor could we put them in our allocated year areas :/.

In High school was the same problem with the lunch cues however depends on what year you were in they let you go first :/ and you could not refill your water bottles during classs hours even if it ran out and if you got caught you would have to wait 10 mins making you late for class and getting more in trouble and you couldn't even take your blazers off in summer time unless you paid for a shirt.

Not a lot of rules at my school, but jocks were given special privs. No crazy colored hair was allowed, unless it was a school color and only if you played for the team. Shorts and skirts had to be no shorter than 4 finger lengths, unless you were a cheerleader, tennis player, volleyball, etc. No piercings and shit like that. I hated all those rules and stuff cause I liked dying my hair and getting piercings.

Wow that's a lot of stupid rules. I went to a private, Catholic school during middle school, and while it was strict at times, it was no where near that bad. They taught us evolution and stuff like that.
Off topic here but... It's kind of funny because my family isn't religious at all and neither am I (my mom was raised Catholic but she doesn't practice the religion). I consider myself atheist, so it was an interesting experience: going to mass every week, learning the religion, doing things like the rosary and prayers. It was a really good school though and those three years I went there were the happiest of my life.

As for stupid rules, if you talked when you weren't supposed to, the teacher made you write the definition of silence a certain number of times depending on how much you talked. Once I remember having to write it like 27 times lol, and once a friend had to do it like 400 times... xD Oh, and we had to clean up garbage that the homeless left around the church, and I remember getting in trouble for being overly enthusiastic about that. xD I got detention more than anyone else, like practically every day. Once I got detention for asking where to hand in a test. And once I got detention for trying to break up a fight. For detention you had to sit in a separate area from everyone else during lunch, and then you had to clean the lunchroom instead of being able to go outside. There was also this thing called "homework club" you had to go to if you didn't turn in your homework.

The public schools I went to were a lot more relaxed. I got detention only once in high school, and I didn't even show up, and no one cared lol.

And some kids even got away with attacking teachers, as long as that teacher wasn't the headmaster. It was especially easy to get away with it if a student punched one of the uptight teachers, as even the headmaster didn't like them. Heh.

Seems like everybody has their own story to tell xD. May be you are not going to feel so bad then.

We had to wear a uniform to the school everyday. Everybody has to wear the same standard color set by school. A dress pant, a tie, black leather shoes, and a dress shirt.

Hair has to be combed properly from the left side only and must had to use hair oil everyday.
They would literally check every students in the morning for hair oil, chopped fingernails, well polished shoes, and long hairs. Long hairs weren't allowed either. xD

No electronics were allowed in the school.

That's where i learned how to write in cursive

The principle would literally beat us with a stick if we did any mistake. lol

If you didn't do your homework you would either get beat up by the principle or you would be on your knees outside the class.

Wasn't allowed to speak in "Nepalese". You had to speak in English while you were in schools's boundary. I didn't go to school in the U.S.
and so on.............LOL..:/
