School life can be quite intense for kids with all the examining and growing up they need to do. It deteriorates when instructors (a.k.a. grown-ups) begin forcing prohibitions on things, particularly in the event that they are the things you love the most. Here Are Some Crazy Things Banned in Schools Around The World.
Ludicrous boycotts in schools the world over. As though adolescence wasn’t sufficiently intense!
Crazy Things Banned in Schools Around The World:
Backpacks
Some American schools believe that bringing your backpack or bag inside a classroom can be potentially dangerous because of all the weapons that can be carried inside. Thus, they only allow you to bring books and stationery supplies. Backpacks must stay in a locker.
Tag
Some schools in the US have banned tag! The idea behind this ban is that kids get hurt both physically and emotionally when they play this iconic game. But, of course, spending time at recess playing active games must be a no-no!
Halloween and Christmas
The Oregon school district board banned all Christmas attire to ensure that the religious views of other members of their community are met and respected. And also because the Grinch did steal Christmas!
Shorts for boys
Amidst a heatwave last summer, a British school introduced a new dress code for its male students: no shorts inside the classrooms. So the boys decided to go with skirts. Nobody banned those. Around 30 boys turned up wearing skirts to school. Well, then. Skirts it is!
Birthday party invitations
A British school decided that handing out birthday party invitations in front of all the students must only be done if all the kids are invited. Otherwise, “it is uninclusive and unkind.” Will this teach acts of kindness?
Dodgeball
17 years ago, schools in the US began banning dodgeball, one of the most played games, for being “aggressive and unsafe.” Again, because everyone wants you to be a lazy, inactive person. Now this game is banned almost throughout the whole US.

UGGs
An American school banned UGG boots from its premises for a simple reason: they were a way to hide a cell phone in the classroom. Now the students must change into a pair of sneakers before entering their homeroom.
Hoodies
A Connecticut school has banned hoodies in its classrooms because it’s another way of hiding a smartphone. Kids chat on mobile messengers by hiding them in the front pocket of a hoodie. Smart kids.
Best friends
A school in south-west London has banned kids from having best friends because the teachers believe that it can be very upsetting for a child when the friendship ends.
We all fell out with our friends many times, and yet we are here all grown up. Perhaps they simply do not want them to socialize on school premises.
Father’s day cards
Scottish schools have banned cards for dads on Father’s Day to sympathize with kids who live with only moms. All right, fair play. However, what about kids with no moms or with 2 moms or dads?
Facebooking is evil. Just pure evil. According to an all-girls Jewish school in New York, girls shouldn’t be using this social networking website — even at home. The teachers think that it makes girls less modest than they should be.
Yoga pants and leggings
