Pokemon cards were banned in primary school
Fair does tbh because (name redacted) exploited my naivety to swap a proper shit card for one of my good ones

Also remember some extreme scenes getting kicked in the shins a lot after somebody did the “Man U shiny going up!” thing and everybody scrambled for it

Not a fad but playing snake on those old nokias, you weren’t allowed them in school but people still did and played under the desks, passing around the phone because everyone wanted a go

yeah snake was massive wasn’t it!
I remember people having phones at school (I didn’t get one until way later) and they’d do a thing where you say something like “massive dickhead” and see who in your phone came up as the contact as that meant they were a massive dickhead

Me and my friend were separated in the classroom seating because we got too into a character of our own creation
His name was Gio Potato
He was a giant potato
The sticking point was when the teacher said it was raining out so playtime would be indoors with drawing and all that and my friend all but screamed “GIO POTATO!!!” at the top of his lungs and I couldn’t stop laughing for about ten minutes
We got sent outside

Money up the wall
That’s the most unfair ban i’ve ever heard tbh. I would have been devastated if they banned them at school.
