Probably a good idea (sorry.)

When I was in highschool (34 now), they banned people from wearing sweat pants because they didn't look appropriate for "a professional school environment"... So the day the ban started a huge group of guys came to school in the nicest suits, pressed, hats, suitcases, looking aces!! Was quite funny.

Bruh 1984 is a huge meme I’ve never read the book but thanks to the internet I know what it is

well that is stupid, when only one reports it but there are many others who like chess.com, I hope the teachers aren't that stupid to accept his report from only one person

Chess is stereotypically nerdy, so not many people play it, especially not a bunch of self conscious high-schoolers like myself, so it goes under the radar. Stuff like discord and YouTube are banned, but I find it odd that someone reported chess.com of all things.

My school thinks it takes away academics

play at home; prepare for future at school.

Wits-end

When I was a kid, just a second let me readjust my teeth, okay… when i was a kid they didn’t even think about banning the rifles hanging from our rear window gun racks.
