A FORMER student has revealed that her school made pupils “guinea pigs” in an experiment that first failed in prison.
Amy Leigh knew her school had strict rules, but only discovered that it had been the subject of an experiment after finding out that a friend had studied it in sociology.
Taking to TikTok Amy revealed the strict rules she had to follow every day, and social media users have been left baffled.
Amy’s school day started at 9:15 and finished at 4:40pm, much later than the usual 3pm finish.
The entire school only served vegetarian meals, and packed lunches were banned.
If teachers so much as saw you with your phone out, they would take it away for six whole weeks.

Students were also only allowed to walk on the left-hand side of the corridor, and would immediately get a detention for making noise in the corridor.
When lining up for things, the students were made to stand in alphabetical order, and would get detention for turning around or gesturing to other pupils.
During class, students would receive warnings for the most minuscule things, such as picking up their pen when they weren’t supposed to, or writing after they’d been told to stop.
If students received a second warning, they would then end up in isolation for three periods, and if they got another warning after that, they would be in isolation for the entire day the next day.
Pencil cases had to be completely clear, and if you forgot any piece of equipment (for example if you didn’t bring a calculator, even on a day where you didn’t have maths), you would get a detention.
Amy revealed that the rules have “died down now” as the experiment “failed”.
“And I helped to make sure it didn’t work”, she said.
Amy’s (amyl.eighh) video has likely left many people open-mouthed, as it has racked up a whopping 2.1 million views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts on the rules, with many shocked at the strict policies.
One person said: “Six weeks without your phone?
“That should be illegal.”
A second person said: “That’s insane, all kids make mistakes and forget things sometimes!”
A third person said: “What made them jump from prison to secondary school?”
“Why are they treating students like inmates?”
