Was X a rule at your school?

Do you go to boarding school then

I no idea if a school is allowed to do that or not but yeah.

Yes but no.

No phones in school (you could bring them in school but couldn't use them in the school building).

Yes

You have to walk around the school in a one way system

Yes for the first secondary school

Whole class detentions were a thing.

No

You're not allowed to ask for a reason when you get told to do something, you just have to do it or get detention

No, I can't remember that I had this rule at primary school.

Lessons were cancelled because of a lack of teachers.

Yes

No bag policy. Bags have to go in lockers all day and you have to walk around carrying everything you need in your arms

No
Tie must show at least 5 stripes

Kind of. For us we had to display the logo on the tie but they weren’t that strict about it.

No coats worn inside!!!

Yes, somewhat silly rule
Must wear a blazer

Yes, all the time.
Teacher has to do a 'callout' (on a system called edulink) every time a student needs to leave the class. This alerts a member of staff (usually SLT) who will then come and escort the student to wherever they need to go and then back to class. Wherever includes the bathroom. Also, if no one answers the callout then tough luck. About to **** your pants? or faint? having a nosebleed? experiencing cramps? a headache? nausea? need to take medication at the nurses' office? even just some tissue for a runny nose? Well, unfortunately the teacher can't help you because no one has responded to the callout and there's no way they could possibly let a secondary school student wander the hallways alone!!

no
no english unless you're in senior/junior infants on break (primary school)

Nope.
No speaking a foreign language in school (I used to think that it was okay when the Polish kids in my school were told to stop speaking Polish and that they should speak English instead but I now realise that the school was being kind of prejudiced here). This rule excludes MFL lessons.

The school were being prejudiced for asking students in an English school to only speak English? What are you talking about?

damn, the opposite of mine.
no going to the toilet multiple times in one class. (weird ik)

no
not allowed to go into town during free periods until sixth form

Yeah, wasn’t allowed to do it in Y12 either.

I also found it stupid that I had to be in school at 8:30 (leave house at 7:00) even if my first lesson wasn’t until 11:00 for example (both Y12&13).

You were restricted when it came to what colour coat you could wear to school (excluding sixth form).

What am I saying no or yes to?

The coat thing
