The unfair treatment by the faculty towards students was a major problem in my high school. More specifically, the unreasonable rules and policies handed down by the administration were restrictions and invasions of the freedom of the students.
             In many cases the administration would make up rules to simply show that they had the power. The best example of this would be the ban on hats and hooded sweatshirts that they instated during my sophomore year. It wasn't so much the ban that bothered students but rather the reason behind it. They claimed that with a rule such as this in place, anyone wearing these banned articles could be identified as an intruder and dealt with appropriately. I could understand it to an extent, as they cited it as a safety precaution, but the fact that they didn't enforce the rule basically defeated the whole purpose of having it.
             A more serious issue was the manner in which they dealt with bathroom privileges, or lack there of. The majority of the faculty denied students bathroom requests during classes, claiming that if teachers had to wait then so should students. It seems a little juvenile that an adult would give that as a reason but it held true more often than not. While it may not be a common occurrence, not answering when nature is calling can lead to serious health problems. I would like to think the safety of the students was of some importance to the administration but this obviously would do more harm than good. Was it not safety that was the alleged reason for the hat and hooded sweatshirt rule? The contradictory actions of the administration were major reasons that very few faculty members were respected.
             In addition to denied bathroom requests by individual teachers was the enforcement of a "Code Yellow" while tests were being administered. This meant that no student could be issued a pass to the bathroom or elsewhere. I can speak from experience on this...
