I went to public schools in Kkklanada and reading this is just so wild to me. I had none of the going through what sounds like an airport security and as long as I asked with a please at the end, I'd be allowed to go to the bathroom (~85 to 90% of the time with few prick of teachers not allowing).
When I was in high school I came and went as I pleased. If I hadn't been given a lot of leeway I would have dropped out for sure. My grades were fine, I just didn't want to be there if I didn't need to be. I just talked to my teachers, got the whole semester worth of class work at once and just had to turn shit in when it was due and show up for tests.
My only saving grace was my seventh grade teacher was my 3rd grade teacher, so at least she was nice to me that year
Can confirm here in the UK we have zero security whatsoever. Kids come and go as they please. Many kids leave school to go to local shops for lunch.
I remember being allowed to do that, but the nearest place to eat was far enough away that even if you had a car you couldn't make it there and back in time without rushing which kinda killed the vibe.
Ahh I can't say I know that many schools that don't have local shops within 5minute walk even if it is just a small spar or something, often with a fish n chip shop or something next door not that they were ever open during lunch, for whatever reason every single fish n chip shop in the country seems to be closed until mid afternoon except in the beach towns.
also Canadian. we didn't have any of this metal detector bullshit, but they did start putting cops in high-schools
Man I swear if I ever raise a kid I'm being absolutely sure to tell them, "I'm going to the bathroom" is a statement, not a request.
