Joyrex Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/parenting/school-life/school-bans-clapping-and-allows-students-silent-cheers-or-air-punching-but-only-when-teachers-agree/news-story/cf87e7e5758906367e31b41537b18ad6 Quote CLAPPING has been banned at a Sydney primary school which has introduced “silent cheering”, “pulling excited faces” and “punching the air” to respect students who are “sensitive to noise”. FFS, where is the rocket ship to get off this fucking rock. I don't wanna live here anymore.

spratters Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 "Instead of clapping, the students are free to punch the air, pull excited faces and wriggle about on the spot." That seems a much worse idea than clapping. A good way to get kiddies into fights with each other, what the fuck is wrong with clapping? To protect those sensitive to noise. Fucking pussies. Seems hugging is also banned in some schools.

When I was in primary school the day would start between 8-10am depending on the day of week, but I guess teachers would start their day always at the same time. Probably at 8am. The length of day would also vary between 4 and 6 hours. In "high school" the day could start as late as noon, but that really depended on how your courses were arranged and it wasn't that common. The day could be 2 to 8 hours long, but I think 6 hours was the most common.
