So if you hate it, I can say this this one is done completely wrong. My school has done at least 5, all of them more-or-less correctly. It gets annoying after awhile. Just remember, it could be Gangnam Style.

Yeah, my school can never do things right. Also, if it was Gangnam style, I'd be loving my school even more.

Here is the real orginal harlem shake dance. Not just random dancing with no rythm.

So today, I was stood at the bus stop with my friend, and opposite the bus stop to the left is a petrol station. I saw a silver Mazda 6 pull into the petrol station with a flat tyre - and I mean flat, down to the rim. It parks up near the pressure washer area and out climbs my English teacher. Then I remembered that this was the fancy pants Mazda 6 he bought for £650 and was boasting at us about it. £650 for a 2003 Mazda 6. He later admitted it was a write-off. He walks over to the tyre pump and sticks his hand in his pocket, looks at the prices then looks at the change from his pocket, then walks back over to the car and reverses it up to the tyre pump, reversing into a bin in the process. He gets out, tries using the tyre pump, tyre deflates again. He looks over to me and my friend and notices us, then shakes his head. I called over and asked him if he had a spare, to which he replied, "I hope so." He opened the boot and looked inside, lifted up the carpet and stared into it for a while, pulled out what I believe to be two wheel nut wrenches. He walked to the front of the car, then back to the boot again and stared into a bit more.
I would've offered to help but my bus arrived, so I just left him staring into the car. I have English first period tomorrow so I'll ask him how it went.

You lose most of your rights once in school.... unless that's not what you're saying.

Yes maybe during the day. But this was completely after hours....
Then again in the schools handbook it says nothing about any of this.

If he was on school property rules still apply.

It's all about upholding the image of the school and its students. When I first went they bitched non-stop about how we should look and behave while in uniform, anywhere and everywhere...

I got out early for bad weather. It didn't even start snowing until about 4 but I'll take it.

He was on school property, but as I said there is no rule in the school handbook that says anything about this. And as I said it complied within state law.

Must be a little different than here. 
I'm curious though, even though it may not have said it in the book, it's still applied. it can you elaborate on the state law?

The schools student handbook that is given out with all the rules in it at the beginning of the year clearly states that during school hours no cell phones, Ipods, CD players or any type of electronic device is allowed to be use. Then it clearly states IN BOLD, that 2:40pm you may use them again because obviously school is over. Since this ordeal was after school hours, there is no issue.
The state law says, in a realtively short context, that any noise, music, aircraft etc must be underneath 140dB at most. 120dB is considered acceptable. The music we were playing was at most 85dB (which I highly doubt is that high). The speakers max at 96dB at complete most. The volume was not even close to the max. I looked this up the other night. Besides the fact that there is absolutely no written law prohibiting the playing of music in schools or schoolzones. I spent several hours searching around for this.
It was also not after dark so night rules don't apply either.
This and the fact that they blare music in the weight room, gym and everywhere else. The kid was pissed. And rightfully so.

Interesting. I'm really surprised you actually had the handbook. Usually those are gone within a week.
Aiming to bring this to the school?
I don't have the handbook on me at the moment but it is built into our daily agenda that I carry around with my folder fulls of papers by instinct at this point. I usually draw over it all but I saved that part lol. I told them today in my buddies defense about this. This is 2 days in a row we've been yelled at. I looked right at them all and I said do you really want me to get on the internet and pull up the law right in front of you? Geesh.

Agendas? 
Haven't had one of those in years. Never seen a handbook incorporated into before.

So, today, I was supposed to have baseball practice from 2:30-4:30 then go home. But that didn't happen. It was raining and around 35 degrees fahrenheit. So out coach said that JV softball had the activity room (indoor cages) and the varsity softball team had the gym (for fielding practice) and that we couldn't go on until the second practice shift. So he said go to Exxon or the local pizza place and get something then come back in a half hour. So I go to get some bacon sunflower seeds. Then we come back and get to do study hall, but I have "no" homework I can do without a book. So I find the geometry book I needed. And it was the teachers edition with all the answers. That was the first geometry homework I've done in over 2 months. The we finally get to change for practice. We go into the gym first to do infield with the super floaty "incrediballs", many people got hurt in the making of this story. Then we go into the cages and screw around after we hit. We found a school spirit stick from 1986, then promptly, but unknowingly, someone throws it on the floor. Then we play with a broom and talk about some stuff. Then we go home at 6:45. Fun times.

Hey guys, i've been following this thread for awhile and decided to join in the conversation . I'm not in High School yet, but got my course choices today. In 9th grade we can choose 2 electives. I'm a percussionist and in the school band... Well next year if your in band it counts as 2 electives.. Almost like penalizing you for being in band.. I'm not happy at all.

Well if you like it you should really continue. Especially if you want to do marching band (which is really fun). I'm also a percussionist and marching band is one of the few good things about being in high school.

Well. High/Secondary School... 3 pieces of homework in for tomorrow, 1 exam tomorrow, and a piano performance in 2 days, to about 1/4 + of the school. The scary thing is, that I only came up with something to play 15 mins ago, so I need to do a lot of practise in not a lot of time. Did I say it's improvisation as well? No music for me, just me and a piano.
My current exams are going well though. GCSE Physics exam A* and my English GCSE's are as follows
B/A (Not quite sure)
A
A
A*
I think I'm on track for an A overall so far. My target is a B so that is really good for me!
