Not a school rule but a new English teacher in our first lesson with him had a massive go at me for the audacity of drinking from my water bottle on my desk without asking him first. This is in Year 11 and I had been doing that in other classes that day without issue. He didnt even nicely say something like 'please don't do that for future reference', hejust had a go at me which was fun given I was actually a goody two shoes so took it to heart!
We had to stand up when a teacher came into the room (I was in secondary school in the late 90s). I know schools tended to all do this many years ago but seems quite rare in my age group. I understand the rule and was fine with it but not sure if it really does anything.
Sounds like you went to my school. They enforced that and I had my last year there in 2009. Also blazer removal and also having hair below the collar and also hair products and also mobile phones etc etc. Basically they wanted us to be little working soldiers to prop up the country by trying to remove any sense of individualism from us before we were old enough to realise.
