There’s a sign that says you aren’t allowed on top of the bus terminal because of me.

There was grass on the roof and I was curious how they got a lawnmower up there.

There was a little gate tucked around the corner. But it turned out the sublevel that’s normally out of view is just gravel

My preschool class took a field trip to our local children’s museum, which was a very tactile experience, so they really emphasized that you could touch anything there. My three year old brain wanted to know what happened when I touched the fire alarm. I understand shortly after they changed that emphasis: you could touch almost anything there.

I have never understood why this was the go to punishment for students that didn’t want to be at school.

“Don’t want to be at school? Well then, fine! You’re not allowed at school. Ha, that sure showed that rambunctious rascal!”

“Uhh…” plays Zelda or whatever

Because now the parents have to provide proper care for the children. it’s a way to involve the parents.

it fails if the parents are not involved in their kids lives or are just struggling to make ends meet as it is.

It also removes disruptive kids from.the system. Which should allow the other kids to focus.

My old pot dealer let people roll a free joint outside with some busted weed under a sign “roll yourself one!” if they bought enough. A guy I know took this as an excuse to roll a giant cannon of a joint.

There is now a sign saying “roll yourself a reasonable sized joint.”

He had a sign and a gimmick? More sophisticated than any dealer I’ve ever heard of

Beyond innumerable rules at home (no sneaking out of windows, no making potions out of toiletries, no growing mold in the bathroom, no snakes in the house, etc.) once as a kid I had $5 of birthday money burning a hole in my pocket, so at lunch I asked for as many $0.25 cinnamon rolls as I could get with a $5 bill. Although the cafeteria workers tried to talk me out of it, I spent the rest of the day parading around with a huge sack of cinnamon rolls which I didn’t share with my classmates, as I was determined to bring my catch home to impress / share with my family. The same day, an announcement was made over the intercom to the entire school announcing a new two-per-person limit for cinnamon rolls. Details may be off as this was years ago, but that’s what I remember!

I used to have people pay back borrowed lunch money in 5 cent cracker packages. I still remember the time i saved up about $5 in crackers because of one friend’s debts.

So, what was your family’s reaction? What what did your classmates say after the max of 2 rule got implemented?

Reading that as “I can’t remember, I’m afraid” gave it a different feeling.
