One thing our school is harsh on is phones in class. Once we get caught the phone is taken to the office and given back at the end of the day. Another is the dress code. Shorts have to be finger tip length and if they aren't, the student must change. Sometimes they go way to far with it and it can make the parents upset.

Many students at the school...

Waldron is a typical small school. 40 kids a grade. It isn't an awful school if you play basketball. The athletic director is also the basketball coach and be a total dbag. I guess that's everywhere though. He picks favorite. The staff is nice but they don't really make you learn. You can just coast...
