    Our school calendar is divided into 4 terms/quarters. We start in January, a week after the new year and go for recess somewhere late March, for only a week. Term 2 normally starts in April until June, then recess lasts for about 3 weeks/a month. Reopen in July, take recess in September for about a week (like in March), then reopen in October and close for festive somewhere in December. We used to close early December, like the 1st week. I don't know what changed but we've been closing around the 15th of December these past few years. Just outrageous! 😡

    I loved my school uniform. Winter uniform was my absolute favourite because we could wear stockings and ties, summer uniform was so boring. In terms of pregnancy, our school allowed girls to come to school but closer to 9 months the learner stayed at home and someone had to accompany them to school during exams, just in case there was a medical emergency the school wouldn’t be liable.

    It's brutal in these schools. When the teachers say take it out, you will sit down there and TAKE IT OUT! In my school, if the girl's skirt was too short, they'd take a pair of scissors and undo your hem, no matter how long your hem is. Many will come to school looking like slay Queens and leave looking like my grandma. It didn't end there. if you wore the wrong school shoes (Because South African students wear school uniform until the last year of High School), If you had the wrong shoes in my school, They'd take them and give you some ugly looking school shoes from the 'lost and found' box. Wrong socks? They'd take them. We in the military here🤣🤣🤣

    Lol with the hair thing, I got locs in high school. The rules did say that you’re not allowed to start them while attending the school but you could keep them in if you had them before you started there. Lol when the one teacher came to try and reprimand me I just said “oh madam, you should have told me that you were willing to come to my house at 6am every morning to do my hair “. LOL I only said that because my white Afrikaans friend had just died her hair jet black from being a natural Barbie blonde who was standing right next to me, and this teacher said absolutely nothing to her. When the teacher walked away my friend was also confused as to why she was not reprimanded too😂

    In my highschool, if you were pregnant, you can still come to school. In our matric year, we had a girl pregnant and she was lucky to be due in the June holidays so she could write her Prelims. However, if she was not lucky, the school makes a plan for them. I think with everything, it deoends on the school, the rules and the principal willing to make the choices.

    Our school year starts in mid January and ends in the beginning of December. Because our summer season is from December to February. Technically our "summer break" would from December until January. We have four school periods called Term's from 1 to 4. Term1 is from mid January to end of March with a holiday break , returning to school from mid April to end of June as term 2 , followed by term three from mid July to end of September and term 4 from early October until early to mid December. School year ends with a new school year in mid January again.

Our horrid high school experience was highlighted when the Matric 2020 class protested outside the school for racism, discrimination, unfair treatment from teachers to pupils and the hashtag was trending on Facebook and then we witnessed how grown white folks were cyberbullying and gaslighting black children on the newspaper's Facebook page at the comment section. We had to defend those children as former pupils of the school on the online platforms. The pupils who organised the protest were suspended and went through disciplinary hearing. This is after the Department of Education said they'd intervene🙄. I just hope where ever those Matric 2020 pupils are, have healed and moved on from that heartbreaking experience.

    Well i understand what he is saying but personally i havent experienced this. I attending my schooling years in durban at a public school, so it was totally different from his experiences. For me personally there was no problem with school itself just the teachers and management. Not all teachers would be invested in your well being especially during covid period, there was no support structure for depression or grief. We would do distance learning ( not online) there would be some teachers who would make the initiative to come during weekends and sacrifice their time so that we could stand a better chance of understanding a certain topic. Generally teachers would push to finish the syllabus rather than make sure you understand a specific topic, not all learners adapt. For alot of kids english is not their first language even though they understand english there are still instances within certain subjects where our knowledge of english becomes difficult to retain information like studying for hamlet or other plays. This quickly puts some children at a disadvantage. Public schools focus more on academics rather than sports or other activities. This puts children at a disadvantage if academics isnt their strong suit because now that's the only thing they to their name. This is why parents send they kids to private schools to not only be involved academically but socially aswell to take part in sports and other clubs which you dont have in public schools. He is speaking from a point of view where he attended a private school. I do not regret going to a public school. I made alot of friends and great memories at the end of the day we all meet each other at university regardless of where we went to school ❤

I only knew the typical things like no makeup, long nails, hair should be kept in order and so forth. It was just too long to read. Imagine reading something worth 3 pages😫 honestly I’d just sign it and make as if I read it. It’s the same as the terms and conditions you get on your phone. Let’s be honest who reads that?

For example we were not allowed to use hairpiece when doing hairstyles, cellphones were not allowed at school, school starts at 8h00 but grade 12 learners had to come an hour early because they attended morning lessons. Some rules were made by teachers for example submitting homework before 8h00, having a classroom cleaning time table, coming to school on Saturday or Sunday. The only place I would say I read a code of conduct was in varsity.

    My school you could do braids but it had to be natural colours. Afros had to be braided or tied into buns. Some village schools don't want huge Afros or long hair so they ask them to cut their hair short

    In our days you could only do Benny and Betty hair style or you could dye your hair black or just leave it as it is provided that it is neat. Braids and other hair styles were prohibited. Pregnant girls were allowed to come to school and they would go give birth and still come back to school. We had girls who would rush home to breastfeed babies during lunch time and come back to the class. These days pregnant girls have to go to school with a guardian in case something happens, the person will sit outside and wait for them.I learned English in Sepedi for real but I taught myself through TV and Newspapers so I was always chosen to represent my schools both in primary and high schools for debates. I started primary school at 8:00 untill 15:30 and high school from 07:45 untill 16:30. Yes I wore uniform and school shoes, toughees and buccaneer to be exact. You would never dare wear heels to school here 😂. Uniform helps in that there are kids that come from poor families and they don't have enough regular clothes as it is. Imagine if they had to wear the same clothes to school as well. It is also used to identify which school the kids attend. When we see someone in uniform we can tell which school they attend. We never had school lockers, rural areas do not have them still today. We buy trunks, a lock and a key and leave it in our classes. You only take the books you need for homework when you go home and leave the trunk, you will take it home when we close schools in December. I have never experienced favoritisms in sports, we were all treated the same and you would earn your position. I didn't have a phone untill grade 10 and I was never allowed to go to school with it and my grandmother would confiscate it during exam times. We didn't have electricity untill I was in my first year of varsity. I did all my primary and high using candles and paraffin light. The guy is mostly speaking of schools in the cities precisely Model C schools. The schools in the rural and urban areas have different rules. Rural schools are still laid back and the kids still abide by the rules. Still, most of this things he is saying here, he is exaggerating.

Kids now get away with some staff because corporal punishment is illegal and a teacher could loose their job and be arrested if the parents choose to press charges but believe me, it worked with us. You wouldn't dare start anything you wouldn't finish 🤣. I honestly love uniform, it creates order.

    Back in 1997 when i matriculated (12th Grade) we had only ONE kid in the Whole school who had a Cellphone and funnily enough he was also the naughtiest kid in School, before having a phone he would skip school a lot so his mom got him the phone just to call him during the day to have him give the phone to a teacher so that the teacher would confirm that he was not skipping school or a certain period.... Most of the things he said here is satire and over exaggerated... Main reason why pregnant teen girls are not allowed at school is to prevent bullying from other pupils especially other girls, depending on the school the girl will still be able to finish her year off by handing in tasks etc etc and if she is able to write exams or not even then if its final year end exam for Matric you do not even have to be at school to write an exam as long as you have a registered examination number then you can write all your exams on the exam date at either a police station or even at a church under supervision.... all Grade 12 pupils in South Africa gets registered to have an examination number in the beginning of the school year. A friend of mine dropped out of school 2 months before the final exam and started working on the mines but since he still had his exam number, he requested all his final exam papers delivered to his local police station and he wrote all his papers under police supervision and he even passed his matric year.
