This is fake but this rule if ever really implemented would be extremely wrong for so many reasons.
A school fining students for swearing is the most believable part of this story to me. I don't think I ever saw fines for swearing but we had fines for chewing gum, dress code violations etc. I 100% believe a school would implement this exact policy. And I agree it's pretty fucked up and classist to fine children.
I didn't even own a wallet when I was in school, only got one when I got my first job and opened my first bank account. How are kids paying such fines? The parents pay them?
I guess. In high school I had a job, so I was very careful not to get fined because it would be coming out of my pocket. Still got busted for uniform violations a couple of times but I learned quick how not to get caught. If I didn't have money I would have had to ask my parents, which in its own way was more costly than just paying it myself.
