[00:02] school principal, because after seeing it, not being able to use your cell phone in class will be the least around the world are bizarre.  For example, some schools in the to the bathroom three times per semester. This rule came about because they thought
[00:17] people were using it as an excuse to go for walks.  That's probably true.  Yes, I did that back in my school days too, but since when would you be punished for being a hydrated person? Drink water.  These poor things get three
[00:29] passes, which is like a ticket to go to the bathroom for each subject. So, if the pass runs out and the student still needs to go to the bathroom, they have to pay for that time, remaining stuck in the classroom for a few minutes after
[00:41] class ends.  Now we need to talk about the United Kingdom, because it simply has a lot of bizarre rules, starting with the fact that winning is prohibited.  If there's a competition between students, everyone needs to tie.  And this rule came about to prevent
[00:54] losing.  The intention is good.  Yeah, I thought it was cute too.  But what's the fun in playing Uno in the classroom if you can't throw the plus four at your friend, say "lose," and be happy?  There's also one rule that says
[01:07] having a best friend is forbidden, meaning you can't lose, but you also can't celebrate victory with your friend.  Don't be happy, but don't give for this rule is that people get very sad when a friendship
[01:20] ends.  So, to protect children from the trauma of losing their best friend, they Besides, they think this could make other people who don't have best friends feel left out.  So, you either hang out with several friends or alone, there's no set
[01:33] prohibited because students would sometimes start clapping out of nowhere, and then the whole school would go crazy.  People would start clapping along, everyone would get euphoric, nobody would pay attention, and then
[01:45] clapping was completely banned, as if there was no middle ground between everyone going crazy clapping and banning clapping forever.  Imagine the congratulations for you, man.  Congratulations! It must be awful.  And there's a school over there
[01:57] that has banned students from raising their hands to answer questions.  The reason is raised their hands, and this discouraged the students from responding.  But then how do class. Professor, I know the answer to this
[02:11] The problem won't go away, because even if you have to speak, it will always be the same three lizards that will respond, with or without a hand gesture.  Slang, because, in their view, students needed to learn to speak properly so
[02:25] future job interviews.  So, basically, to greet your friends in the morning, you need to say something like: "Dear and esteemed friend, may the golden dawn of this new morning reach you in ineffable joy and
[02:38] placid adventure. I pray to the heavens that the splendid sun illuminates your path, revealing to you a day full of abundant blessings instead of just saying good morning." And to close the bizarre United Kingdom, there the teachers can't use a
[02:53] red pen to correct the test, because they say that red is a color that causes pressure and fear in the students. The solution they found is to correct with a green pen. Much better, right? Because zero ceases to be zero if it's written
[03:05] in green. Besides, it will create a trauma in the person associated with the color green. Look, a remembered the zero I got in math. And this school here forced students to answer the tests in the most absurd way possible. And if they
[03:17] answered correctly, they got a zero. It seems like a joke, but it really is, because this is a  This is a page from my book, and I doubt you'll finish it. There are 50 challenges, and you only win the book when you complete them all. If you think you're capable of it,
[03:30] I doubt you have the courage. So let's get back to the video. In South Korea, white socks are forbidden. You can only wear dark socks because, for them, white socks are considered too casual. And there, the uniform rules were created so that
[03:43] no one could show that they are richer or poorer than others. So thing. I thought this one was cute. In Japan, everyone also has to wear the same uniform. So far, so good. But then one fine day, someone in Japan thought: "But what about
[03:57] under the clothes?"  "Do people wear whatever color they want?" No, not at my school. So they created a rule that you can only wear white underwear. And yes, they check. There was always a school employee checking during
[04:10] school employee checking during recently, due to pressure from students and parents, it was banned. Thank God. Also in Japan, several schools prohibit you from wearing any
[04:22] little less absurd than checking underwear. Yes, but it doesn't stop there, because when a teacher suspects that a student may have dyed their hair, they call the student's home and ask the parents to send a childhood photo of the
[04:36] little lizard to prove it's the same hair. Seriously, I was a redhead when I was a child rule, because afterwards my hair turned this dark, almost obnoxious color. In New York, the Department of Education banned the use of certain words on tests. The
[04:49] word list includes "divorce," which I understand is to prevent children from thinking about their parents' divorce, perhaps, but on the list  It also has words like birthday, dinosaur, dance, Halloween. They could ban the word zero,
[05:01] right? But it's not going too far in school. Go to China. They have a rule there that I really wish we had in Brazil: mandatory nap after lunch. The first and I think only good rule in this video is this: after eating,
[05:14] 'm not sleepy. Close your eyes and pretend you're sleeping, otherwise you'll get suspended. And you can bring a pillow and blanket from home. In some schools in the Philippines, students have to show up on test day
[05:27] with an anti-cheating hat. Each one makes their own at home however they want. And the result is quite funny, because anything that blocks the view of a But what if the person writes something on the mask, right? Let's ignore that
[05:39] possibility. In the Philippines, they also measured the length of the boys' hair at the beginning of each month with a ruler, because it couldn't be too long. In addition to the ruler, this person also had scissors to cut it right there and then.
[05:51] If the hair  If it touched your ear or the collar of your clothes, the good thing is hairdresser, right? The bad thing is it must look good. In China, some schools punished students differently. It wasn't about calling parents or sending them to the
[06:05] principal. They simply forced students to kneel on frozen peas. And another punishment that happened, but for those who arrived late, was having to do push-ups or run around the classroom. Kind of like what
[06:17] in all subjects. Man, I would have been in so much trouble because I was always really liked to have her coffee calmly, and so did I. And then I'd arrive half an hour late. I would have been the fittest kid in history
[06:31] Finland, a bizarre rule they have to follow in the classroom is that as take off their shoes and stay in their socks all day. All because they believe that school needs to be a welcoming environment and  Cozy, instead of
[06:45] a lot of stress if my classmate next to me had smelly feet, but it's okay. And one best education systems in the world. , maybe that's it. In France,
[06:58] ketchup has been completely banned in school and college cafeterias. The only exception was french fries, because then when they were available, they could use them. But then came another rule. French fries could only be served a maximum of once [laughs]
[07:10] because they said that children used ketchup to mask the taste of the food like real French cuisine . Sometimes the school food is just bad. People, have you ever stopped to think about that? That maybe that's the problem?
[07:25] A British school one day simply decided that boys could no longer wear shorts. They tried to talk, to argue, but nothing worked and it was very hot. And then, one school day, all the boys agreed to simply go  In a
[07:38] skirt. And then, right away, the principal understood and allowed shorts. Geniuses, the boys simply beat the system, just like other brilliant people in this video here. So, click to watch and see you in the next video. That's us.
