I've seen this a lot. I've taught since 1986. I've taught in public schools in WV, FL, NC, and TN and a charter school in Florida. Each and every one of those started with the pledge of allegiance.
well i would say about 50% allow back packs in school
Yes you can refuse to say the Pledge of Allegiance if it is against your religious values ormorale values. In that fact any other reason wold probably work also. Although you can refuse nothing is said that others may look down on you for it but that's just because they don't accept the diversity of this country.
Some Catholic schools might as well as Churches. Gambling with discretionary income is not considered a sin by the Church. Public schools ban gambling because of laws.
Voucher
none Maybe some public schools (if u started a club with permission like I did) and definitely christian/religious schools.
Some states such as Main and New Mexico allow mixed home schooling/public school attendance. You should check with the public schools department in your locale.
Believe it or not, 50% of schools allow electronics on campus, but they have diffrent views.
Some schools do not allow backpacks because they worry that weapons can be hid in them. Some school allow it if the backpacks are clear.
no school allow gum
schools should allow i pods at school because they work better with them because its less of a distraction.
No, but if you are in private school yes, depending on the color ex. private school allows blonde, brown, NATURAL reds, and NATURAL blacks. The private schools DO NOT allow unatural red or black, green, purple, pink, blue, ex... Public schools allow any color
Why not? Especially if it's a public school they have no right to restrict the outside activities of their students unless it damages their performance considerably or is illegal.
