Controversial Rules in Schools

These rules are not in any particular order and are not related to any particular country. The list is more intended to make people think about how some of these rules are absurd.

I do wonder what these people were thinking when they came up with some of them but I’m sure it made total sense to them when they did.

Anyway, here are some of the rules I’ve found in schools which seem to inhibit teaching and learning more than help in my opinion.

Overly Strict Uniform Codes

I personally think school uniforms are a thing of the past but I do understand that some schools want their students to wear their uniforms.

However, some schools take things too far and punish their students for the slightest thing out of place with their uniform.

A student may wish to learn as much as they can and have the potential of becoming the next Einstein but they may just be a little messy when it comes to the way they dress.

Should they be punished and effectively prevented from learning because of this? I think not.

No Hugging Rule

Again I do understand the reasoning behind this rule as it tries to reduce the chance that things may go too far between students but it is simply ineffective.

If the students want to do these kinds of activities and take things further they’ll find a way. Stopping them hugging won’t prevent this.

I think a simple hug is a natural way for people to express themselves and is part of a child’s learning experience.

No Phone in Hallways

I can fully understand and agree with that phones should be turned off inside the classroom but why extend this rule for the hallways?

To me this doesn’t make sense. Of course if students are shouting on their phones in the hallway then they need to tone it down a little but I do not believe banning phones completely in hallways is the answer.

ID Cards

I haven’t experienced this personally but some schools force their students to have an ID card and wear it around their neck.

In my opinion this seems completely over the top and simply not required.

I can understand some schools need their students to have IDs but why force them to wear them around their necks?

No Lunches for Friends Rule

This rule made me laugh. Again, I have not seen this first hand myself but have read about it. Apparently some schools will only allow parents to bring a lunch box for their own child. If they want to hand a lunch box to a friend’s child then it is against the rules.

I’m sorry but this is absurd. I’m sure there is some silly health and safety rule behind this but it comes to a point where parents and students can’t do anything without break some kind of rule.

Flight Training Academy

Flight training refers to the course required when learning to become a pilot. Flight training is provided by established flying schools and academies all over the world. To become a pilot, proper training is a must. These academies provide both the theoretical as well as practical knowledge in the form of training. Flight training academy usually provides wide variety of training material and special facilities for the students. Enrollment in a certified academy ensures quality and continuity of training.

Aviation is one of the upcoming career options for many students. It is gaining popularity day by day. It is one of the most exciting industries to build a career in. It is also a very well paying career option. People get attracted not only because of the high salary, but also because of the excitement and rush of flying a plane. It is one of the best options for adrenaline-junkies. Training academies not only teaches how to fly, but also focuses on ground jobs as well.

Flight training academy provides proper assistance in the form of training to become a certified pilot. With many students opting to become pilots, a number of flight schools have come up in various parts of the world. While choosing an academy to enroll in various factors have to be kept in mind. The choice in flight academy depends on whether one wants to obtain a sport pilot certificate, recreation pilot certificate, private pilot or whether one wants to work as a professional pilot. While deciding about joining an academy, finances should not be the only consideration. The quality of training should be given priority. Ground and flight training should be done as regularly and frequently as possible. The flight schools have strict regulations concerning the applicant’s physical and mental health. Rigorous screening is done before accepting any person.

All flight schools have chief flight instructor. This person is in charge of the training process. Under the chief instructor there are a number of senior and junior instructors as well. The flight instructor develops student’s understanding related to traditional academics such as rules and regulations, aircraft operations and performance, etc… Some flight schools have tie ups with academies in other countries. Such school gives a dual degree which is applicable in both countries. The academies help the student in obtaining proper license for flying a plane. With the increase in number of students opting for aviation as a career, flight schools have developed and are providing the required training and assistance.

Luckily, the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth is full of exhibitions and activities focusing on boats and the sea.
