I boogied out of the american public school system right at the beginning of the build up of the mini surveillance state they were starting to set up for kids. You could up and walk out of school if you wanted to and no one was going to stop you. We used to fuck off during class in high school and go wander the halls. Things I'm certain kids can't get away with today.

    When I was in high school the videography class filmed parodies of The Matrix and The Godfather which involved running around school with fully realistic pistol replicas

    When I was in elementary school, kids would bring their hunting rifles to school on the first day of deer camp. They were supposed to leave them in the office, but I feel like that didn't always happen. This wasn't super common, but I remember it happening when I was in 4th-6th grade

    Not really sure why, it seems like it could be left with the parents and they could bring it when they picked up the kid.

    yeah same here. i was basically able to transfer from one high school to another to escape it since it wasn't yet distributed equally in the county i lived in.

    so my freshman thru junior years were under increasing security to the point of actual violent suppression (security guards assaulting students for being too alternative looking, it was post-columbine hysteria)

    senior year was wandering the halls, do whatever free for all because that principal was near retirement and just dgaf

    My senior year English class was last period and kids would slowly trickle out the door saying they had to goto the bathroom and then just not come back. She just told everyone not to say where they were coming from if we got caught.
