rules...


With each new school year and teacher comes a new set of rules.
...then there are the standard: be kind, no hats, keep your hands to yourself, etc.

The favorites of this year:
1. No bra snapping or wedgies.
2. Wear deodorant every day.

Welcome 6th grade!

OH man! is that a real rule that the school has enforced? I totally remember the boys flipping my training bra straps! Not like I even needed one at ALL. But hey, it was the in thing. ha ha ha

I am glad they put the deodorant one in writing - have you walked into the 6th grade rooms - could kill you!

on the other hand, the bra snapping one probably just gave the boys an idea!!

Tristan said...

No bra snapping?? Ha ha! Actually I first wore a bra in third grade...yikes! Although no one snapped my bra until 5th grade.

Ilene said...

Love these rules.

I wore two t-shirts in fifth grade to disguise my bra strap. I wish the boys I grew up with had these rules.

Teachers sure know how to take the fun out of life don't they. :)

Liz said...

I love the deoderant rule! They should keep some spray stuff around for those kids who 'forget'.

Bra snapping - who needs a bra in sixth grade? Really!:0)

i'm working special ed this year, 6th grade. we do daily check and review of the deodorant rule. i think, however, these boys are oblivious to the concept of the bra.

Oh, that is classic!

Jake said...

Yes. I taught sixth-grade for one year and can testify to the truth of deodorant. My co-teacher and I passed out free samples at parent-teacher conference!!!

Those rules sum it up. I laughed out loud when I read them.

Evan came home with rules about not, "Pants-ing" each other. I guess if you get, "pants-ed" it means somebody pulls your pants down to your ankles. Oy.

Ahhh, yes.

The sixth grades stink. :)

When I taught 6th I had a vanilla room spray that I would break out after every recess.

One day, I thought I may be making them feel bad and didn't do it.

The kids BEGGED me to get it out again.

I remember the very clearly the 6th grade deodorant rule from our boys, however, the bra/wedgie rule is a new one. Oh joy! There is nothing like 6th grade!

Christie said...

Ha! That is funny. Been trying to work on the deodorant one here with my 6th grader. He seems to think he's immune. HE IS NOT.

Nothing's worse than that awkward moment you have to put on your first bra, only to have it snapped by some annoying boy. Good for them, I say!

Kelley said...

Are you kidding me? That is so funny, everything changes in 6th grade.
