These Things Were Totally Allowed In NY Schools But Are Off Limits Today

Times have changed and so have what is allowed by both teachers and students. 

It's not really shocking that a lot of what used to be allowed years ago doesn't fly in current times. We all lived pretty fast and loose and therefore learned from doing so, that maybe we need a little bit more regulation.

Now I will tell you, my time in school was just fine. I never had issues with other students or teachers and think I was a relatively good student (when I applied myself). That being said, some of the stuff I did back in the day would not be ok in current schools, but I think things change for each generation.

My father told me all about the Catholic schools and getting hit with rulers and other various objects. I went to school in the 90s and teachers were 100% not doing that then, which means they are still not doing that. We do not need teachers and other faculty  members hitting our kids. It will not make them a "better person" or "more well behaved." This is a good change. You won't change my mind.

That is one of the things that is 100% not allowed in schools anymore, and if you want to read the full guide on student discipline, you can right here.

We asked on our Facebook page some things that people used to be able to do that would never fly now and some of the responses were pretty good.

Guys, let's be real - some of the stuff that you said was "fine" back then was probably not actually fine and it's why many of you are in therapy right now.

Things that used to be allowed

• Dodgeball (with the hard rubber balls)
• Smoking (teacher lounges, parking lots, smoking sections)
• Gun racks in your car (questionable)
• Fights (I don't think those were ever allowed?)
