Parent, student, or staff, what's the dumbest damn regulation you've personally come across at an educational institution?

Supposedly there was a similar policy at my elementary school early on, which led to a kid being forced to eat something they were allergic to. As the story goes, they vomited violently all over the lunch monitor and then had to be taken to the nurse's office. Their parents were not amused. The policy did not stay in place.

I literally dont understand how teachers or school staff can be so authoritarian that theyd rather a kid die than that kid possibility be lying

They've got a tiny scrap of power and by god, they intend to use it! More enjoyable than going to therapy for the abuse they suffered as children.
