@mrwalker. well no one is usually 5 minutes late,and if they are they usually have a good reason..its usually just as the bell rings or a couple seconds late after that, and they still count it as a tardy.

Interesting. I could see such stiff punishment for being minutes late, but just as the bell is ringing seems a bit overdone to me. Although I'm sure there must have been some issues in the past which caused such a stiff punishment. Probably issues before you even attended there.
In my school there is an original rule: if your friend told you his secret and after that you'll tell it to another person - you'll be suspended if friend who told you that will report you to teacher. I have not heard that someone already is suspended by this, but... Oh well, this rule is the strangest rule I've ever seen ;P
If every day someone is 5 minutes late, that's 25 minutes per week that you are losing in educational time. Multiply that by how often you have class, and how many classes you have.
Oh my gosh I think I hate you now. That is the essay we had to write if we were late to Math. she did an entire freaking equation on how you would waste half your life being 5 minutes late to class.
We have plenty of stupid rules.
No hands in your pockets in the halls. No sneezing, sleeping, eating, drinking, or coughing in class. You must wear socks. Socks must be all white. You must wear a belt. It must be brown. You must wear khaki pants color # (something I forgot) You must wear a navy blue shirt 3 button shirt #( something) or a light blue button down #( something) Your earring may not pass (this) level. Your necklace must not pass (this) level. You may only have 3 bracelets. You must be in class before the bell rings, not while it rings. You must stay in class unless called out from the office or you need to use the restroom for emergencies only. You can not have any electronic device out in class, even if it is off. Ect. ect Stupid, No?
I know I heard about the intranet business, but is there anything else wrong specifically?
I came from school allowing iPods in class to one not allowing iPods in class. I just doodle outside the margins of papers the entire lecture to fill the void. Got a sweet signature.
Rule of thumb: Get on the teacher's good side without selling out.
-"Because I said so!" That is actually a rule. If a teacher tells you to do something don't ask. I get introuble for this all the time due to I embarress the teachers infront of the class since they don't know what to say
my response to that would be "oh? need a better reason". i'll also exit the room if it's to prevent me from getting mad and punching something very hard... (which i'd be 10 times more likely to get in trouble for then just leaving the room and standing outside)
I have a bunch of them and the teachers even break them!
You SHALL NOT wear a hat.(I have seen about twenty teachers wear hats every day and the principal doesn't mind about them) You cannot wear jackets/sweaters in school grounds.(I have seen plenty of teachers wear themEven the principal) You MUST have your shirt tucked in at ALL times.(I've seen plenty of teachers with shirts untucked.Also if you don't do that you'll have detention for 2 days) You cannot wear slippers/sandals on school grounds. You cannot wear necklaces/earrings inside the school(Ha!I've seen most of the woman teachers wear them) No bikes/rollerblades/skateboards at school. Those are some ridiculous rules i've seen.In fact I had detention because I was late for school and forgot to tuck my shirt in and also I had to ride my bike or else I'd be late.So I had detention for a week and I was suspended for a day.
My school is so lax it is insane. I haven't heard of a single person getting a tardy, unless they were some insane amount of minutes late. People in my school dressed up as playboy bunnies, fairies in tutus (those were some guys), vampires with blood on their faces, the list goes on and on. Guess what the punishement was if you looked like a ******? Nothing. And that is on any given school day as well. I swear, you could probably walk into my school in nothing but a bikini (guy or girl) and you would be allowed to go to all of your classes and not have to change.
Also you can basically do whatever you want to do during lunch. The bathrooms are literally in the cafeteria, and I haven't seen a teacher go in there all year, so you know the pot heads are doing something. There is also an outdoor area where all the people with records as thick as the unabridged Websters dictionary hang out and pretty much **** eachother for the whole lunch.
I guess the no hat thing is nationwide, because my school has it as well. Cell phones, iPods and other electronics are allowed in the classroom as long as they are off....
Oh, this kid like two years ago was walking to the bathroom when an insane pothead came up and started to litterally beat him to death. He took like fifteen punches to the face and body and then threw one back and got the kid off of him. He got in almost worse trouble then the kid who almost beat him into a coma.
