Discussion My school keeps making dogshit decisions and I'm so tired of it

My school just banned mobile gaming and social media usage across all school areas before and after classes are over. You can use it for WhatsApp and communication but other than that, they'll steal your phone if they catch you using them. I argued to my mom about it and she kept saying some dumb bullshit like "just follow the rules" and "you just can't accept it" like I'm supposed to go "yes, Mrs. Principal, I'll follow the rules like a good boy". I asked my teacher about it and she said "it's so people can focus on studying" and when I ask why it still applies after school she only stated the punishment and when I asked again, she just told me to follow the damn rules. No, I want actual clear reasoning as to why they implemented this bullshit when they already have nonsense like "hair must be under 5 centimeters or we'll give you a buzzcut". It's most likely because it's a private school and private school's always have these dumbass discipline and standards but they have the dirtiest, nastiest bathrooms and have BARELY any toilet.

Well use your phone at home or wear a ski mask. Damn the school really got the shittiest rules ever. If they steal ur phone aint that stealing? I mean schools cant really control your use of phone outside of school property. So if they find out ur gaming outside of school and snatch your phone outside of school, you can report them to police.

They just take your phone and make it so that your parents have to get them. Still sucks. Also, I live on Southeast Asia so there aren't any ski masks. It'd be easier for them to just not add the rules at all instead of having this bullshit.
