One of the school rules in my high school days is to clean the toilets of both girls and boys if committing punishable crimes at school
, such as late, eating food inside the classroom, cheating, etc. I am just thinking it is a harsh punishment for students to endure.
Do you think it is an appropriate punishment for the students?
Any school rules that you do not like during your school days?

I cannot recall of any. This poem sums it all of my good memories
SCHOOL TIMES
Destiny takes us we know not where
But we carry our memories there
School times, classmates loads of fun
Exams done accolades won.
Driving teachers round the bend
Teasing, jeering it had no end
“Stand on the bench” they’d scream away
But from them we would run away
Lunch time spent in running around
In the baking sun till the ball was found
The recess over, back to the class
Striving for those marks to pass
Some were always upto pranks
Competing for those tempting ranks
Pushing prodding to come out first
If one failed the tears would burst
Classmates are a wonderful gift
Try your best stop the drift
Teachers, masters ever so kind
Tough it was to leave them behind
So many years of endless joy
Fun and frolic boy oh boy!
Dramas, rehearsals, singing galore
I wish those years were here once more

Getting late to civics class in high school merited a paddle to the offender's behind by the teacher. Cleaning toilets of both males and females would be useful in the military but not high school.

Ooops, that physical punishment. But yes, I remember my third grade Arithmetic teacher Mr. Limpin slapping the hands of his pupils who got zero in quizzes. Reflects the teacher actually.
That was in St. Joseph's parochial school where I studied my primary years.

@Deepizzaguy Whoah! I think it was not a good thing to be paddled. I do hate cleaning the toilets at that time. I only experienced my teacher pulling my hair up in front of my hair. She was been complained at that time.

In my school, groups of juniors and seniors are assigned each day to oversee that the canteen in clean after recess and lunch breaks. But there were janitors who thoroughly mop the floors and the comfort rooms.
One school rule am very much against with is the wearing of black or white hair pins, ribbons and pony tails so that the decors would jibe with the school uniform. Grrrrr. That's curtailment of freedom of expression.

@Shavkat It was the rule of Sister Rosalina, the principal, because she wants everything uniformed. Later on, I learned she left the convent for America.

@eileenleyva It is really undeniable being proper for sisters and priests to be a bit strict with their uniforms.

Since I also studied in a private school, I need to wear the prescribed uniforms from Monday to Thursday. Good thing, we have wash day on Fridays.
I only experienced corporal punishment when I was in primary school and my teacher was reported.
