What’s one “random” school rule you still think about?

A school rule i heard about from a friend that their school is that if someone punched someone else then then both students would get isolation for being in a fight even if the kid who got punched didnt hit back

I was randomly thinking about how our school banned “too much laughing” during lunch because it was considered “disruptive.” Another one: you couldn’t walk down a certain hallway unless you were in Year 11 or above like it was some secret VIP club.
Anyone else remember any weird or oddly specific rules from their school days? Or ones that actually made sense in hindsight?

There was a big circular patch of grass in our school (used as a roundabout for cars) called the “sacred sod”, and supposedly we weren’t allowed to walk on it.

We never found out what was supposed to be sacred about it. Kids came up with an (obviously false) rumour that all the old headmasters were buried under it.

Plus I never saw the rule actually get enforced. Kids generally avoided walking on it of their own accord. If anyone did actually walk on it, nobody was really going to say anything.

That one kind of makes sense you’re not allowed to play on the road. There are some really nicely designed roundabouts in some places (one near. Stains springs to mind) but still your not allowed to explore it because it a part of the road.
