No taking your blazer off in class unless you ask the teachers permission and they agree (this one was later relaxed during summer terms because of the amount of complaints).

Iirc our primary school banned the book series 'Goosebumps'. At the time it seemed a bit daft but now I'm not even sure what they were trying to enforce.

It's not like 8 year old kids are running around the playground in groups of 6-7 reading books together. And there's absolutely no way they could expect parents to stop reading/letting the kids read the books at home because, well if I walked in and found my eldest reading.... anything I'd go out of my way to encourage it.

No more pirate newspapers. The very definition of pirate newspapers is that they aren't allowed.
