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 barely had lunch money, maybe $1 or less on me when I was in highschool. I admit that because I didn't get allowance, maybe other kids had more money than me, but we weren't destitute level of poor, like many kids were. I don't see how you can fine that easily without being in an affluent area.
I went to catholic school, most of the students' families had at least tuition money. I was one of the "need-based scholarship" kids so my tuition was less, and I had a job so I had some income, which I used mostly for gas to get to and from my job and most of the rest went to tuition. Fines were added to the tuition bill, and if you hadn't settled up by the beginning of the next year / graduation, you couldn't re-enroll / graduate.
