School Rule

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hey, does your high school not allow you to have cough drops unless you fill out paper work and make your physician sign it because my school has this rule.</p>

<p>The result of getting caught with a cough drop (and reported) is a day suspension, while getting caught with a cigarette is just "Saturday School."</p>

<p>On a more serious note, you actually can't have any medicine at school, even basic Advil and such, unless you get the bottle or anything signed off by a physician and fill out the paper work. And if you can't get it signed because you can't afford insurance or a physician the vice-principle at my school told us to not get sick or not come to school (who can afford to miss school when one is all AP AP AP woot woot Hard Class woot woot). Waste of time for the physician and one self in my belief.</p>

<p>I feel like protesting this stupid rule, but I don't know what I should do. Any recommendations? :B</p>

<p>We can’t have water bottles at school whatsoever.
Thanks to a 7th grader in our county who decided he wanted to pour Vodka into his water bottle.</p>

<p>But yea, we can’t have medicine either.</p>

<p>My school has this rule. The guy who will be our valedictorian this year had advil in his backpack and got suspended for THREE days. To put that is perspective, one of my friends on the opposite end of the academic spectrum had weed with him sophomore year, and also got a three day suspension (plus legal charges, of course).</p>

<p>Love stupid rules and stupid consequences. The people who make these rules aren’t the brightest, I feel.</p>

<p>Yeah our school doesn’t allow medicine but i still bring advil on days i have really bad headaches. No one notices if you take it during lunch, just don’t pop in an advil in the middle of class and you should be fine.</p>

<p>It annoys me when people who are legit bad students don’t get as bad of consequences as those who accidentally break a frivolous rule.</p>

<p>

What a fantastic, reasonable answer for that. Of course we can EASILY avoid SICKNESS.
I love how the importance of education is always stressed, yet when it comes to stressing over an unlikely consequence (because all students obv treat school like a black market selling off medications), it doesn’t matter.</p>

<p>I’ve heard of cases where chapstick wasn’t allowed in school without a doctor’s note, too.</p>
