I'm quite amazed since it was such a conservative area. However my high school wasn't the authoritarian hellhole I hear of others being.
1-No Pledge of Allegiance.
2-Completely open campus. No classes, you were free to leave. Just like college really.
3-Not a big deal even if you did skip class. You could do that up to two times a semester before there was any consequences besides being required to take the final. That's right, if you had no unexcused absences the final was option and wouldn't count if it lowered your grade.
4-No uniforms, lax dress code, and not really enforced.
5-Pop machines everywhere on campus.
6-No idiocy about suspending students for bringing Aspirin or Swiss Army Knives.
7-No insane authoritarian rules about only being allowed to go to your locker between certain periods or having to pay for your lunch before classes instead of at lunch like in middle school.
I'm surprised really.
Mine you can add a prayer before each class.
1- We didn't have but replace with a prayer
2- Hell no. But can leave early if teachers called out.
3- Roll taken before each class.
4- I went to a Catholic HS. What do u think?
5- Not all over campus, but near and in cafeteria and gym.
6- Aspirin was ok. Not sure about Swiss Army knives
7- Needed a hall pass. Lunch however was paid for at lunch.
The only good thing was when I went smokers can light up the moment they left the gates, but they got stricter. You can't even smoke while waiting for the bus. I never heard of the lunch thing.
That said I would have still STRONGLY preferred to go where I did over the local public school. I would have went public had I lived in the suburbs however.
