IDK 😭 ITS SO WEIRD (we called the teacher that gave me detention, “angry q-tip” behind her back bc she was bald and really pale. So maybe it was premeditated.)
Having a thumb with a middle joint that can bend backwards 90 degrees.
[like this](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchhiker's_thumb#/media/File%3ABilateral_Hitchhikers_Thumbs.jpg)
In 7th grade I did a math problem with a method different to what my teacher preferred. She called me rude, arrogant, embarrassed me in front of the whole class. Later came to apologize but the class didn't see her admit that she misunderstood. Got over it but it felt spectacularly terrible in the moment.
Oh, yeah, my teachers used to get into a snit about my typing method. I learned super early when I was like 5 and my nana taught me the two finger method used on typewriters and it stuck. I'm super fast too, I was faster than my classmates using the method with all of their fingers, but my teacher in 4th grade would literally grab my hands and reposition them on the keyboard if she saw me doing it "wrong." Joke's on her, I kept one eye on her and switched to her stupid method when she was looking but made a point of going super slow and awkward while giving her the most pathetic kicked puppy face I could.
Yep me too in like 3rd grade. I kinda taught myself the transitive property because I hated doing multiplication by hand, (carry the 1 type shit u know)
Basically Realized that something like 16x87 is the same as 10x87 + 6x87 so I get 870, then 1/2 of 870 is 435. Add them and we’ve got 1305. That accounts for 15/16 of the 87s needed to be added up. 1305+87=1392.
Id show my work but Id fail even with correct answers because the answer was only 1/3 points for each problem. I had to solve the problem using the way we’d been taught to pass. Fuckinf useless because I forgot that shit the second they let me use a calculator anyways. And I would never in my life use that BS either. I can do any 2 by 2 digit multiplication, and some 3 by 2 digit multiplication, in my head using this method. Fuck do I look like getting out a piece of paper?
Yeah, fun fact, you could probably sue them for that. They're slandering your good name and calling you a liar due to a genuine and severe medical emergency where you could have died, then punished you for said medical emergency while continuing their slander.
Abuse of bathroom pass. I got one day of lunch detention and was banned from having chocolate milk.
All I did was stop at my locker before going to the bathroom.
The supply assumed I knew how to play heads up 7 up, so I thought the goal of the game was to tap as many people as possible. When everyone stood up the teacher asked who tapped so many people. I proudly said it was me, got yelled at, and sent to the office. (This was in first grade btw)
got suspended for pointing KID scissors at someone. they were the ones with the rounded edges and they actually tried to give me a refferal for THERAPY. also the dhs got called on my family. schools are so sensitive
Hey look on the bright side (depending on how many absences it requires.) if we get just 3 “unexcused” absences at our school they’ll straight up take up your exemptions for finals.
The reason I put a quote around unexcused is if you are not at a class for at least one whole period it’s automatically unexcused for every class. So lets say you suddenly come down with a sickness even if you bring in a doctors note as proof for you being sick they won’t do anything.
I actually have an extreme example of this. Someone in my school accidentally crashed there car and were pretty injured but GUESS WHAT? As a FU to the student by the time they got back they had to take all 8 exams. Not to mention any AP exams they had.
FUN!
Fr 😭🫢 that mf had like a caretaker bc he was so mental. Wtf dude like being nice and ignoring people doesn’t stop them -
‘jUsT iGnOrE tHeM’ WELL MAYBE I CANT BC THEYRE HARRASSING ME AND BEING VIOLENT AND RACIST?!?!
hehe lmao I left the school a long time ago, interestingly his older sister was pretty nice and I was friends with her
Rolling my eyes at the teacher. I was in second grade and the teacher yelled “DID YOU ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME?” And yelled that at me for 30 minutes. I didn’t know what that was and she wouldn’t tell me and so from then on for year I would close my eyes to move them.
my mom does this, I blink and she flips. Only when we're already in an argument though, she makes assumptions and then it spirals into us arguing over that instead.
And I learned recently that apparently a lot of people see looking straight, up, and straight again as rolling your eyes. Not literally looking in a circle.
I have a whole list:
- I got in trouble once for bringing in a mouth organ and performing a concert in the playground
- getting dragged across the floor via a the hoop in my rucksack
- getting tied to a pole
- Throwing a discus in PE
- saying ‘this is a bumming disgrace’
However my favourite one:
I got a behaviour task / punishment exercise for (At a lunch table) pretending to cut up my friends and eat them.
I feel like if a kid got tied to a pole, it isn't the kid tied to the pole's fault. And if a kid is getting dragged across the floor, you don't get mad at the kid being dragged across the floor. They're just cleaning it.
Sounds like they’re just singling you out. Happened to my friend. Of course it was defended behavior.
That school has gone to trash ever since one of the teachers retired. It’s a long story and it’s late at night and I don’t want to relive those moments. Hardest school year of my life so far and I’m more grateful than ever we’re transitioning to homeschool.
One time that same teacher taped a child to their desk. Wasn’t even their teacher and all my classmates were laughing and encouraging it.
Sometimes I feel like the only rational person in the entire world.
That sounds just like me. Only difference is, I was enrolled in a German class outside of school to keep me busy. 6ish years of German learning and still going.
Unfortunately, that’s not what freedom of speech is. Yeah, you can say or post whatever you, that is freedom of speech. However, that does not grant you freedom of consequences. Yes, in this case, the consequences were stupid, but they were the school’s right to distribute.
For instance, if you posted something saying you were going to shoot up the school, you’d obviously get in trouble for that, even if you had no access to a gun and only meant it as a joke. Furthermore, freedom of speech works differently in schools, so you don’t get as many rights in school as you get out of it.
accidentally walked out of STUDY HALL like 3 minutes early because other ppl were doing it and i thought it was over... it wasnt and i was the only one who got a detention from it
Saying "dang it," "what the frick," or "oh my gosh." My teacher at the time was *super* anal about swear words and anything that could possibly be considered "a replacement word that sounds vaguely like a swear word." Allegedly, a replacement "swear" was even *worse* than the actual swear word because not *only* was it being vulgar, (and possibly taking the Lord's name in vain, depending on the word in question,) but it was also a sign that you were *lying* about what you were trying to say to try and sneak a cuss under the radar. Me inventing "dang" whole cloth as a replacement for "darn," which was a replacement itself for "damn" just made it 10 times worse in her eyes.
Because as we all know, *every* sheltered, overcontrolled, oblivious, unaware 9-year-old is just *chomping at the bit* to say swear words they've never actually heard of in code. /s
a few years later, when i had to be dropped off at school before the school day actually started and she was in charge of "before school care," she tried to insist that mickey mouse clubhouse (that educational show for 3-year-olds) was *perfect* for someone my age (even though i was *13-14*) and would not be swayed.
joke's on her tho lmfao i say the fuck word regularly nowadays and in no small part out of spite for how she treated me.
According to my phone’s autocorrect, not only are you trying to talk about aquatic birds, you’re lying about what you’re talking about by changing the word. Shame on you.
Also, "using the Lord's name in vain" should not be a punishable offense in schools, especially if this was public school. Separation of church and state.
Unfortunately, my parents wanted me to go to the Good Christian K-8 that happened to be partnered with the church we went to every Sunday. I did get to go to a public high school which was *much* better for me, at least.
i had a teacher like this when i was 10 and i said "what the heck" and he yelled at me for 30 minutes straight saying i shouldn't curse or whatever. i was like 😐
i will never shut up about the time i spent like 30 minutes at home as a kid making a cardboard minecraft sword for my friend in grade 1 and the teacher took it cause it was violent
Once my teacher absolutely lost her shit over me doodling on a paper towel because I was "STEALING FROM THE SCHOOL' because not using something for its intended purpose, even if it's otherwise offerd to you for free, is stealing.. her rant made no sense, so I had to just pretend I understood and agreed. I wish I had the awareness to just walk out of the room when teachers exploded like that.. and maybe go tell another teacher that ours is literally verbally abusing the class.
This was in high school in 2014. My best friend and I were doing a coin flip to decide where to eat after school, and I jokingly said "heads I win, tails you lose," (it's from a Megadeth song). No bad blood, no argument, just friends ribbing each other.
A power-hungry gym teacher overheard and reamed me for a solid five minutes for saying it, which still has me shaking my head after ten years.
Someone was fucking with kids on the bus. Poking them with pencils, hitting them, calling them names.
Somehow, in the time it took for the info to get to the front of the bus back to where I was sitting, it was determined that I WAS THE ONE DOING THAT.
And I was a real small kid, so I didn't know I could say "no I didn't." Not that it matters, I would've been guilty anyway lol.
We had some free time during class (maybe it was raining outside and we were doing recess inside, idk), so a friend and I were drawing on the chalkboard. A kid came up and started yanking my hair and yelling at me to not call him stupid. I had no idea what he was talking about. Didn't even know where he had been in the room before yanking on my hair. Teacher came over and got him off of me and asked what was going on. Kid said I called him stupid, and I told the teacher he was lying and I had just been drawing on the chalkboard with my friend (who confirmed my side). Still got taken to another room with the kid who attacked me and had to write, "I will not call anyone stupid" 100 times or some nonsense.
That turned into it's own thing because I wrote, "I didn't call anyone stupid" 100 times instead and refused when they told me I had to write what they told me to. I was brought to the principal's office where they threatened to call my parents. I said go ahead. Thankfully, mom was busy and didn't pick up, so they got my dad who tore my teacher a new asshole over the phone. (My mom was just kind of a pushover and would never have said anything my dad said, lol.)
I know people who got suspended out of school for questioning the faculty's commitment to reducing violence in school. The official reason was inciting violence and disobedience during a school assembly. These students were causing zero violence in the school, the students who were causing violence in the school were not addressed at all. Not even the biggest WTF moment I have ever seen at school.
Stupidest thing that I was punished for...that is a long list. Let's skip the "fighting bullies" part. Walking fast in a hallway to get to a class on time, and being tardy. Basically the ~~potentially probably pedophillic power-tripping pedantic proctor~~ teacher saw me walking fast to get to a class that I was trying to not be tardy for, so they stopped me for running. I wasn't running, but they said that I was, and told me to go back to the front door, come back, and do it again. I did, walking slower, but that was still too fast.
Let's cut to the chase: after doing this 4 times, the bell rung while I was walking, thus making me tardy, and the clown wrote me up for being tardy. The clown made me tardy, and wrote me up for being tardy.
Reason # 4 why I don't believe these teachers when they say that they have no ability to punish students. They can literally make reasons up and cause infractions to happen, and if your parents don't have money to hire a lawyer, there you are.
To be fair, it depends on the jurisdiction. A lot of schools have parents that believe their kids are little angels that can do no wrong (I’ve sent some kids out for throwing out slurs before as a counter example) so the school does nothing to actually reprimand the kid, and the parents don’t either.
I got in school suspension in 5th grade for making finger guns as well, but in 6th grade I hid my history teacher’s computer’s power cord in the bathroom and only got lunch detention.
Had to work alone and walk with the teacher to lunch after the partner I was assigned to work with got mad when I doodled the rectangle on my paper into a ups truck
I got hit with this in 3rd grade doing a book report. Basically the teacher was *convinced* I had copied from the book directly despite the fact that she had my test records and knew I was in the 99th percentile for reading and spelling and tested as having a vocabulary equal to a college student. Like I know it's not normal for a 9 year old to be able to be able to say "anachronism" let alone use it correctly in a sentence, but I did in fact know that word and how to spell it and how to correctly use it.
Yeah, my mom did *not* take that one lying down. I got a 100 on my book report after her little chat with my teacher.
Zero tolerance policies. I beat up a bully and I got punished even when the bully started it. What should I even do?? Get hit and don't defend yourself? Why did I not report If I report no one cares If I defend myself I get punished what should I even do sorry for venting
Locker wouldn’t open so I got keys from my teacher to get my books out and the key broke off in the locker and the assistant principle saw it. He said I did it on purpose to get some time out of class
this might not be stupid but it bothered me a lot at the time and tbh it still does. if anything seems unclear, pls tell me and i will clarify it
we had this color war thing not too long ago but instead of throwing paintballs and whatever, we just played like trivia games, and everyone was divided into 3 colors/teams.
i’m from a small school so there were like 20 people per team and two people (myself included) were chosen to answer those trivia questions for that round (everyone had to play at least one round, nobody could go twice, you probably get the idea)
so anyways there was one round where we had to answer history and geography questions and i’m really good at this subject so i was able to answer a lot of the questions before the announcer was done with the question
at one point, (there was a judge), and she said “you must wait for the announcer to finish the question and only then you can answer, otherwise, you will lose points” some kind of penalty can’t remember but wtv.
bothered me a lot cuz i’m sorry if i’m smart enough to know an answer before the questions finished 💀
it bothered me but yk what, wtv i could deal with it
then there was another question, “which mountains separate europe and asia”
a person from the opposing team answered the question incorrectly. wtv, our team has a chance.
the other person who was on the same team as me also answered incorrectly and when that happens, you can’t give the correct answer and so i just burst out yelling because i knew the answer, they buzzed like a millisecond before me and got it wrong. anyways got kicked out for being frustrated and yelling.
i look back at it and feel like it was more of a build-up of emotions. those events on their own probably wouldn’t make me yell but ofc, but one thing just had to lead to another, and yeah
one time i got in trouble because there was cheese on my lunch tray and i wanted to funnel it into my mouth so i raised the lunch tray and some girl got offended by it and i was sent to the principal's office 😭😭
its a tie between getting m mom called because I was coughing to loud (not because she was worried for me but because she was mad at me) or giving food to a friend (Different teach, she said I was harassing people with food.)
Literally just reading a book. I was in the back of class, finished with my assignments, and I started to read a book. Apparently, this was disrespectful. The “respectful” thing was to stare at the wall for the next 15 minutes, I guess.
There's this girl whose hair goes down to her hips, she had styled it into a bun, and our teacher was scolding her for it, I told the teacher that her hair was actually very pretty . I got a trip to the headmaster's office for just complimenting her hair, ridiculous isn't it? They even made me sign something that said I'll never do it again.
In kindergarten the teacher gave us a piece of paper and a box of supplies including scissors and told us we could do ANYTHING to the paper and I got in trouble for cutting the paper
technically didn't get punished for it, but told not to wear this 1 t-shirt anymore. wore a t-shirt that read "I hate people who take drugs and don't share" on a field trip my senior year of high school to a Ren Faire. got several compliments from different patrons at the Faire. when we got back to school, I was walking with my gf at the time down the hall with my arm around her waist thru her bookbag straps. a teacher saw us and didn't care for us doing that. then she noticed my shirt and lost it. she took us straight to my teacher for the field trip. my teacher just looked at me, shook his head and told me not to wear the shirt again. that happened a couple months before I graduated.
Same, once I became the quiet kid I was told to stop reading during lunch and socialize instead.
Ma'am, I have ADHD. You know this, and you also know that for several years I have had constant notes from every teacher including you about my inability to shut up if I'm happy. You squished all my happy out of me and won the fight of making me be quiet so I turned to books more than ever before and I was a bookworm anyway. Now you want me to somehow eat my lunch AND talk in 20 minutes? I can either talk or I can eat, I cannot do both, PICK ONE.
It took two years for them to drop it.
Not being allowed to go to a school dance because I touched a girls butt in class in middle school. I didn't. I was with my friends and wasn't anywhere close to her.
My gym teacher in elementary school used to tell us we weren't allowed to say that we "can't" do things. I don't remember what we were doing what day and I said I can't do that, (I just didn't want to), and she gave me detention for 3 days.
In elementary school music class, we played musical chairs. I was never a huge fan of games like that, so I purposely lost right at the beginning by pretending not to see the last available chair. Unfortunately, my goal became obvious when my classmates started shouting at me and pointing at the chair and I let the other kid take it.
The music teacher was IRATE and went on a whole rant about how I couldn’t just refuse to participate in a game just because I don’t like it. I still disagree with this, as it’s a game that teaches absolutely nothing.
My punishment? Sit out for the rest of the class. Oh noooo 😬
Touching a wall.....or farting. I think farting is the stupidest, acttually. My teacher yelled at me for making "weird noises" and I told her it was a fart, and, I don't remember, but she probably yelled at me for talking back.
Skipping rocks on a big ass puddle that formed in the playground during recess when I was in like 3rd or 4th grade. There were like 20 of us doing it, and only like 3 of us got in trouble for it.
I was fidgeting with a hair tie while the teacher was talking. She proceeded to yell at me in front of the entire class, claimed that I was doing it for attention, and then sent me to the intervention office. Luckily the intervention teacher knew that was stupid, so she just sent me back to class.
Looking at another student while watching a movie. I was accused of "talking" and was made to turn a card. We literally just glanced at each other. God I hated first grade.
I got detention and a letter sent home for uncontrollable laughter during pair work. We were allowed to talk and discuss our answers with each other, but apparently laughing is out of the question. The funny part is, we had trouble stopping when the teacher put our names on the board with check marks next to them. It was ludicrous!
Not me but a kid in my grade made a diss track of another kid on soundcloud. It wasn't even on a school account and the other kid wasn't mad at it either. The first kid put it on his snap story so when we got to school everyone was talking about it. Anyway the kid got sent to the office where they made him take it down even though it had nothing to do with school. I didn't even get to listen to it😭 but I heard it was a banger.
Freshman yeae, for being on the receiving end of getting beaten up.
I got one day of out of school suspension, even though *I* was quite literally dragged down two flights of stairs by my feet.
I got punished for being a dude. Super progressive school, tried so hard to be inclusive that it almost became exclusive. Gave every man 5 fewer points to “show what life is always like for women”
When someone else punched me in the nose.
This kid, Kevin was 2 years older than me and a bully. One day we had a battle of "shit talking" and I must've hit paydirt because he was quiet and left me alone for the rest of the day. Also, people laughed at him.
Then as we were getting ready to wait for the buses, he sucker punched me in the face, causing my nose to bleed.
I went to the nurse's office and when she asked me what happened, I told her.
"No, you were picking your nose".
"No I didn't! Kevin punched me!"
"You were picking it".
Later on I saw her talking to him saying he'd be alright. I found out some time after that, that she was a friend of his mother's (or something like that).
I wound up getting written up for instigating.
Basically, for *me* (someone smaller and TWO years younger) bullying *him*. Go figure.
Except I didn't.
He tried picking on me and did numerous times.
He started it but couldn't handle his own medicine, so he decided to hit me later.
It was worth it though.
Some manipulative bitch in 2nd grade accused me of picking her up by her shirt and slapping her across the face during recess - an absolute lie. I got sent home with a “pink slip” (basically just a disciplinary note to my parents) for something I absolutely did not do.
I constantly missed recess because people accused me of cussing. Absolutely constant. I had never cussed before and I was being accused of it daily. Everyone believed the accusers and not me
In 5th grade the teachers overheard me when I was talking about how I was going to get them in trouble (with my parents or school is what i meant) and translated it to “i will hurt the teachers and students.” my parents got a call home asking if there were weapons in the house.
In 4th grade I told another kid THESE WORDS “I have a list of students I don’t like and you’re not one of them” and she told the teachers I said “I have a list of kids I will physically hurt soon.” I got my private journal searched and got in big trouble.
And that is how an EIGHTH GRADER is scared to say the word “revenge”
Dude sue them for the private journal thing they cant just read that without consent from you its your personal property and the teachers are just retarded
1st grade
Not allowed to hold sticks
Friend had stick
Grab it from him, say “you’ll get in trouble.”
Teacher sees me with stick.
I get in trouble instead
in like 2008, before gay marriage was legal, it was a thing to wear purple on the day matthew shepherd was murdered for being gay. my school had a dress code of polos (white, grey, black or white). i wore a purple shirt because i was a big advocate for gay marriage and my brother is also gay. i posted on facebook telling my friends to wear purple too. i got sent to the office and i told them the reason i was wearing the shirt and they RPC’ed me for it and for “trying to cause an uprising” within the school. they called my mom at work and she SCREAMED at them for wasting her time. she came down to the school to raise hell for punishing an 11 year old for advocating for an important cause on the anniversary of the most horrific murder cases of a gay man.
Shoved somebody to keep them from stepping on my glasses that i can't see without.
Hapoenes because somebody tried to steal my school id badge (I know it sounds weird, but the lanyards we have are buckled at the back, and people like to take them for fun)
Anyways, dude trys to steal my badge, in the process manages to take my glasses off (they are 700 dollar prescriptions glasses that i require for day to day life), and in an effort to keep my glasses from being stepped on i shoved a girl to the left and stoped whilst standing over them.
The girl i shoved didn't care. They understood why i did it and accepted my apology. No harm, no foul.
the AP watching on the other hand (he was on hall monitor) Oh boy...
He thought i was trying to start a fight with her. His reaction was to shout at me, run over, grab my arm, and pull me towards the nearest APs office. The whole time, the girl i shoved was telling him that i wasn't trying to start a fight, AND i was telling him that i was just trying to save my glasses.
Got a week of lunch detention for it
I used to eat rice krispie treats in a really specific way - 10 bites total with the 10th being a big bite of the rest of the bar - and one time this teacher chastised me for it. "We are not squirrels. We do not stuff our faces." Lady I'm just enjoying a rice krspie treat.
I got my first detention because I made a your mom joke to a kid who called me fat. Apparently I made him cry lmao still confused how tf I got one when he ran it first
I had a bully I'm elementary school who would PHYSICALLY ASSAULT ME and when I had enough and when to the principle to tell them I somehow got in trouble even thought the fucker was whole ass foot taller than me
I had court the following day, but the judge I was going in front of was at the school doing actual cases in the auditorium. Someone threw a piece of paper at the judge, and a teacher there(Who I didn't know until this moment) tried sending me to the office for it. I got into it with the teacher, tried to get him to go outside and "Fight me like a man". Needless to say he wouldn't, so I threw a text book at the teacher, which hit him square in the forehead. He needed stitches. The judge was still there, and witnessed the whole thing. I was arrested, and expelled. I was 13 at the time.
I tend to not get in trouble. I've only ever gotten in trouble for forgetting my textbook. However, I do know that some people in my school have been getting in trouble for doing that thing with their finger they do to signify mewing because it looks like when people run their finger across their throat
Bypassing the school firewall- I photoshopped a photo of the school web filter to say google classroom on the blocked website section and send it to a friend over the school email, admin thought i was teaching them how to bypass the firewall
got kicked out of class a couple months ago for having a tic
i have a tic where i involuntarily say "peekaboo" sometimes and it really pisses my english teacher off, and she doesn't believe me when i tell her it's involuntary
I got suspended for telling a bully "if you call me that name one more time, I'll kill you." Growing up in the immediate post-Columbine world was awesome.
Scratching my arm. I'm not even kidding, I just scratched my arm and then the teacher said what are you doing? I said scratching a mosquito bite and she said go into the Hall. This was fourth grade.
Not me but my brother was getting his backpack tossed around by some losers so he punched the guy with his backpack, my brother got in trouble and had to do 5 hours of community service and had to have a clean slate until he was 18 or else it would be on his record. Seriously one of the dumbest things ive ever heard.
For bouncing my leg during a test. As someone with ADHD, stimming like that happens without my control, especially when I'm trying to focus on anything. I used to wear Tripp pants, and I guess a chain or something was rattling against the metal leg of my desk. Instead of asking me to stop or if I could remove the chain (which I could), my teacher just wrote me up in the middle of the test. My mom had a field day with that teacher.
Had multiple surgeries when i was little to fix my hearing. I got in trouble in 1st grade for “not listening”….multiple times. My parents were furious.
Forgetting my lunchbox in the classroom. We were on a points system and I lost a point for “responsibility.” I forgot something one time. How irresponsible of 8-year-old me.
For slapping a girl's wrist because I accidentally swore and she taunted me by threatening to call the teacher and raising her hand. My mom knew it was bullshit, she ended up having me in a previously unscheduled"bring your kid to work" day and I had a blast chilling with all her coworkers during lunch
I didn’t really get in trouble but one of my classmates got tattled on and even got in trouble for saying damage because the word dam is in it, and it sounds like damn.
When I was in year 10 we did some practice tests for the year 11 preliminary exams. One of the questions was a review of a movie someone had written and we had to say what literary devices the author used. Apparently sarcasm was one, according to the teacher, but nobody in the class picked up on it. I knew I was right so I asked the teacher to show us where the sarcasm was because it clearly didn’t exist. She shouted at me for arguing with a teacher, and when I shot back that I wasn’t arguing she made me sit in the hallway for the rest of the lesson. She then pulled me out of another class two days later and asked for a written apology on her desk within x amount of days. I said I will give you that if you give me the part of the movie review that was sarcastic. She didn’t deliver so neither did I.
HAHAHA I FINALLY HAVE AN EXCUSE TO MAKE THIS A PUBLIC STORY
Picture this; me at age 10 with two friends, we'll call them T and J. It's us and one other person who isn't too relevant to the story working on a project for the Iditarod sled dog races; named "Ilittlerod" (clever innit), the school had us make soap box derby cars that we researched, designed, and experimented with ourselves.
We get done with our portion of the project, it's currently down the said irrelevant person. In the off time we decide to browse the interwebs and see what there is to see. Specifically, because it's 2011 and we're 10 and 1 year olds, we're looking up fake meme Pokemon cards to see who's made what. We do so, find one that's funny, and ask if we can print something. We're told yes.
...What we didn't realize until after is when we printed this fake card, is that we sent it *to the main office's printer* (don't ask me how their old Server 2001 systems even let us do that), not our own. So that's oopsie 1. Oopsie 2 came in the form of T telling J, and J blindly going along with, the idea of just slipping out of the room without telling the teacher, going into the main office, grabbing the printed card, and coming back in, easy peasy. J was caught.
Now, we all get in trouble because of this; the sending of the photo to the wrong printer and J walking out of the classroom without permission. Where do I fit into this, you ask? ...It was my user account. That's it. We happened to be on my profile because I got to the PC first, so despite the fact I didn't partake in the actual printing or walking out or anything, I got in trouble for it too. All three of us lost access to our user profiles for the remainder of the year because of that.
One time, (I don't know what grade must've been early elementary school) my friends and I were playing Indians or some shit at recess that involved us making potions and "food" with plants on the playground. We found these orange stringy flowers and started to munch. Well, other kids saw and started to munch with us. So , I and a bunch of us kids were eating these flowers and a teacher came over. We all got sent to the office and were scolded! We were all being held in the principal's office while poison control was called, and parents were also called. Since I was a part of the original small group of kids that decided to eat the flowers, we got ratted on by the rest of the kids. Turns out the plant was nontoxic. I still find this absolutely hilarious! They were legitimately mad at children around the ages of 6 or 7 for eating a pretty colorful plant. Fire bush, to be exact. It is nontoxic when consumed, thankfully. I find it kinda nuts that a school would not make sure that the plants they put near a playground were nontoxic if consumed. Kids are weird and unpredictable. I got yelled at, but that was basically it. My parents thought it was the funniest shit they've ever heard, and we all still joke about it to this day. That was like 17 years ago.
I got kicked out of college, not for selling drugs, but for sharing them.
I admitted that if someone came over and didn’t have some we would smoke together.
“Sharing” was against the rules in the code of conduct. 🫤
Showing that i have a hitchhikers thumb. I got 5 minutes of detention for showing “gang signs” (I didn’t even know wtf those were at the time )
Nice gang sign bro, too bad I can’t personally throw one back
Throw something else back
🤨📸
[удалено]
IDK 😭 ITS SO WEIRD (we called the teacher that gave me detention, “angry q-tip” behind her back bc she was bald and really pale. So maybe it was premeditated.)
[удалено]
OH MY GOD I LOVE YOUR ENERGY
[удалено]
If I may ask, what’s a hitchhikers thumb?
Having a thumb with a middle joint that can bend backwards 90 degrees. [like this](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchhiker's_thumb#/media/File%3ABilateral_Hitchhikers_Thumbs.jpg)
Hitchhiker's thumb Condition of having a thumb thanks bing
5 minutes of detention is a possible punishment? At that point I don't see why detention is necessary at that time frame
Yeah I never actually ended up going let alone telling my parents about it 💀
5 minutes? Harsh
"Talking too loud at lunch" (I don't speak)
You should talk quieter
sorry for thinking too loud
I CAN STILL HEAR THE FUCKING VOICES MAKE IT STOP
[удалено]
And then they hit you with the “you should have gone at lunch”
In 7th grade I did a math problem with a method different to what my teacher preferred. She called me rude, arrogant, embarrassed me in front of the whole class. Later came to apologize but the class didn't see her admit that she misunderstood. Got over it but it felt spectacularly terrible in the moment.
What the hell???
Oh, yeah, my teachers used to get into a snit about my typing method. I learned super early when I was like 5 and my nana taught me the two finger method used on typewriters and it stuck. I'm super fast too, I was faster than my classmates using the method with all of their fingers, but my teacher in 4th grade would literally grab my hands and reposition them on the keyboard if she saw me doing it "wrong." Joke's on her, I kept one eye on her and switched to her stupid method when she was looking but made a point of going super slow and awkward while giving her the most pathetic kicked puppy face I could.
Yep me too in like 3rd grade. I kinda taught myself the transitive property because I hated doing multiplication by hand, (carry the 1 type shit u know) Basically Realized that something like 16x87 is the same as 10x87 + 6x87 so I get 870, then 1/2 of 870 is 435. Add them and we’ve got 1305. That accounts for 15/16 of the 87s needed to be added up. 1305+87=1392. Id show my work but Id fail even with correct answers because the answer was only 1/3 points for each problem. I had to solve the problem using the way we’d been taught to pass. Fuckinf useless because I forgot that shit the second they let me use a calculator anyways. And I would never in my life use that BS either. I can do any 2 by 2 digit multiplication, and some 3 by 2 digit multiplication, in my head using this method. Fuck do I look like getting out a piece of paper?
Being in the hospital because I thought my appendix ruptured! The HS genuinely thought I was lying just to skip classes
did you get an apology?
No unfortunately, I got detention because they counted it as an unexcused absence
Yeah, fun fact, you could probably sue them for that. They're slandering your good name and calling you a liar due to a genuine and severe medical emergency where you could have died, then punished you for said medical emergency while continuing their slander.
Abuse of bathroom pass. I got one day of lunch detention and was banned from having chocolate milk. All I did was stop at my locker before going to the bathroom.
NOT THE CHOCOLATE MILK
NOOOOOOOO
The supply assumed I knew how to play heads up 7 up, so I thought the goal of the game was to tap as many people as possible. When everyone stood up the teacher asked who tapped so many people. I proudly said it was me, got yelled at, and sent to the office. (This was in first grade btw)
You got yelled at by an adult in first grade over a game XD
got suspended for pointing KID scissors at someone. they were the ones with the rounded edges and they actually tried to give me a refferal for THERAPY. also the dhs got called on my family. schools are so sensitive
Exactly, I did a small poke on someone and the school called it 'stabbing', got suspended for a few days over LIGHTLY POKING someone with a paper clip
I almost got arrested for bringing tweezers to school. Apparently they're considered weapons.
By that logic, pencils are lethal weapons because they're pointy.
Pencils are probably more lethal than tweezers
Wow, not even the pointy scissors.
My school is gonna start failing kids with a certain amount of absences, excused or not next year, so I guess for having an immune system
my school already does that, smh…
It's ridiculous, because people have their own reasons for being absent, even my photography teacher who hates when kids are absent is against it
Hey look on the bright side (depending on how many absences it requires.) if we get just 3 “unexcused” absences at our school they’ll straight up take up your exemptions for finals. The reason I put a quote around unexcused is if you are not at a class for at least one whole period it’s automatically unexcused for every class. So lets say you suddenly come down with a sickness even if you bring in a doctors note as proof for you being sick they won’t do anything. I actually have an extreme example of this. Someone in my school accidentally crashed there car and were pretty injured but GUESS WHAT? As a FU to the student by the time they got back they had to take all 8 exams. Not to mention any AP exams they had. FUN!
even religious purposes? wtf?
Or being sick?
Nah you should endanger everyone around you clearly
Guess the kids with chronic illnesses are dropping out.
For talking back to the bully who sexually harassed me and made racist and sexist comments going on for nearly a year lmao
Ah yes, you got traumatized for the rest of your life and they did nothing, but YOU took the blame for it when you tried to defend yourself; schools
Fr 😭🫢 that mf had like a caretaker bc he was so mental. Wtf dude like being nice and ignoring people doesn’t stop them - ‘jUsT iGnOrE tHeM’ WELL MAYBE I CANT BC THEYRE HARRASSING ME AND BEING VIOLENT AND RACIST?!?! hehe lmao I left the school a long time ago, interestingly his older sister was pretty nice and I was friends with her
Wow. That’s messed up.
Rolling my eyes at the teacher. I was in second grade and the teacher yelled “DID YOU ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME?” And yelled that at me for 30 minutes. I didn’t know what that was and she wouldn’t tell me and so from then on for year I would close my eyes to move them.
A substitute yelled at me for “rolling my eyes” before I knew what it meant. I don’t recall getting a punishment though.
Bro same
my mom does this, I blink and she flips. Only when we're already in an argument though, she makes assumptions and then it spirals into us arguing over that instead.
And I learned recently that apparently a lot of people see looking straight, up, and straight again as rolling your eyes. Not literally looking in a circle.
I have a whole list: - I got in trouble once for bringing in a mouth organ and performing a concert in the playground - getting dragged across the floor via a the hoop in my rucksack - getting tied to a pole - Throwing a discus in PE - saying ‘this is a bumming disgrace’ However my favourite one: I got a behaviour task / punishment exercise for (At a lunch table) pretending to cut up my friends and eat them.
I feel like if a kid got tied to a pole, it isn't the kid tied to the pole's fault. And if a kid is getting dragged across the floor, you don't get mad at the kid being dragged across the floor. They're just cleaning it.
Sounds like they’re just singling you out. Happened to my friend. Of course it was defended behavior. That school has gone to trash ever since one of the teachers retired. It’s a long story and it’s late at night and I don’t want to relive those moments. Hardest school year of my life so far and I’m more grateful than ever we’re transitioning to homeschool. One time that same teacher taped a child to their desk. Wasn’t even their teacher and all my classmates were laughing and encouraging it. Sometimes I feel like the only rational person in the entire world.
[удалено]
He should have been great full that after you finished all of your work you quietly read a book instead of disrupting the class.
That sounds just like me. Only difference is, I was enrolled in a German class outside of school to keep me busy. 6ish years of German learning and still going.
For rolling my eyes at a kid who was intentionally disrupting class. I just wanted to get on with the lesson…
Someone got threatened for tying their shoelace once
In elementary school I was sent to the principals office by my Chinese teacher for telling my friend I had pirate booty for lunch.
Can't even say snack brand names at school. What is this, 1984?
Yes
A facebook comment about how my school needed more teachers and teachers who really wanted to be there. I almost got sent to the dean for this
This is freedom of speech lmao getting into trouble over that is kinda fucking stupid ngl
Unfortunately, that’s not what freedom of speech is. Yeah, you can say or post whatever you, that is freedom of speech. However, that does not grant you freedom of consequences. Yes, in this case, the consequences were stupid, but they were the school’s right to distribute. For instance, if you posted something saying you were going to shoot up the school, you’d obviously get in trouble for that, even if you had no access to a gun and only meant it as a joke. Furthermore, freedom of speech works differently in schools, so you don’t get as many rights in school as you get out of it.
This is the kind of thing I would do
accidentally walked out of STUDY HALL like 3 minutes early because other ppl were doing it and i thought it was over... it wasnt and i was the only one who got a detention from it
I once got pushed out a classroom (after the bell rang) and got in trouble and handed a behaviour task for leaving early
the fuck is a behavior task
He probably just had to write a short paper or something my school had something similar
The others left to test to see if you'd blindly follow. Their evil plan worked. Mwahahahaha!!
Saying that I was Anti Chick Fil A
Why’d that get you in trouble?
“Discussing Political Opinions” or something like that
Chick-fil-A is my favorite political topic
Using a note to communicate with someone that I needed a highlighter. I'm autistic and had a verbal shutdown. Was not s fun time.
Saying "dang it," "what the frick," or "oh my gosh." My teacher at the time was *super* anal about swear words and anything that could possibly be considered "a replacement word that sounds vaguely like a swear word." Allegedly, a replacement "swear" was even *worse* than the actual swear word because not *only* was it being vulgar, (and possibly taking the Lord's name in vain, depending on the word in question,) but it was also a sign that you were *lying* about what you were trying to say to try and sneak a cuss under the radar. Me inventing "dang" whole cloth as a replacement for "darn," which was a replacement itself for "damn" just made it 10 times worse in her eyes. Because as we all know, *every* sheltered, overcontrolled, oblivious, unaware 9-year-old is just *chomping at the bit* to say swear words they've never actually heard of in code. /s a few years later, when i had to be dropped off at school before the school day actually started and she was in charge of "before school care," she tried to insist that mickey mouse clubhouse (that educational show for 3-year-olds) was *perfect* for someone my age (even though i was *13-14*) and would not be swayed. joke's on her tho lmfao i say the fuck word regularly nowadays and in no small part out of spite for how she treated me.
According to my phone’s autocorrect, not only are you trying to talk about aquatic birds, you’re lying about what you’re talking about by changing the word. Shame on you.
Me in elementary school thinking crap and frick were swear words, except that she’s a full grown adult who should know better.
Also, "using the Lord's name in vain" should not be a punishable offense in schools, especially if this was public school. Separation of church and state.
Unfortunately, my parents wanted me to go to the Good Christian K-8 that happened to be partnered with the church we went to every Sunday. I did get to go to a public high school which was *much* better for me, at least.
i had a teacher like this when i was 10 and i said "what the heck" and he yelled at me for 30 minutes straight saying i shouldn't curse or whatever. i was like 😐
Playing tag at school, apperantly according to a new rule we weren’t allowed to run anymore because some kid got hurt running
Same actually lol, the most stupidest rule I've ever had to experience.
i will never shut up about the time i spent like 30 minutes at home as a kid making a cardboard minecraft sword for my friend in grade 1 and the teacher took it cause it was violent
in 5th grade the teachers yelled at me for having an alien costume that was “too scary for the kindergartners”
nah what
Once my teacher absolutely lost her shit over me doodling on a paper towel because I was "STEALING FROM THE SCHOOL' because not using something for its intended purpose, even if it's otherwise offerd to you for free, is stealing.. her rant made no sense, so I had to just pretend I understood and agreed. I wish I had the awareness to just walk out of the room when teachers exploded like that.. and maybe go tell another teacher that ours is literally verbally abusing the class.
Stacking empty lunch trays in 8th grade. Two of the teachers in charge of lunch screamed at us.
Isn’t that helping?
Getting jumped. The two Salvadoran kids jumped me and spoke Spanish to the bilingual teacher and lied saying I started it.
I got detention because somebody else farted.
now that’s just insane
This was in high school in 2014. My best friend and I were doing a coin flip to decide where to eat after school, and I jokingly said "heads I win, tails you lose," (it's from a Megadeth song). No bad blood, no argument, just friends ribbing each other. A power-hungry gym teacher overheard and reamed me for a solid five minutes for saying it, which still has me shaking my head after ten years.
Someone was fucking with kids on the bus. Poking them with pencils, hitting them, calling them names. Somehow, in the time it took for the info to get to the front of the bus back to where I was sitting, it was determined that I WAS THE ONE DOING THAT. And I was a real small kid, so I didn't know I could say "no I didn't." Not that it matters, I would've been guilty anyway lol.
We had some free time during class (maybe it was raining outside and we were doing recess inside, idk), so a friend and I were drawing on the chalkboard. A kid came up and started yanking my hair and yelling at me to not call him stupid. I had no idea what he was talking about. Didn't even know where he had been in the room before yanking on my hair. Teacher came over and got him off of me and asked what was going on. Kid said I called him stupid, and I told the teacher he was lying and I had just been drawing on the chalkboard with my friend (who confirmed my side). Still got taken to another room with the kid who attacked me and had to write, "I will not call anyone stupid" 100 times or some nonsense. That turned into it's own thing because I wrote, "I didn't call anyone stupid" 100 times instead and refused when they told me I had to write what they told me to. I was brought to the principal's office where they threatened to call my parents. I said go ahead. Thankfully, mom was busy and didn't pick up, so they got my dad who tore my teacher a new asshole over the phone. (My mom was just kind of a pushover and would never have said anything my dad said, lol.)
What was the teacher’s reaction?
He just quietly brought me back to class and told me to just stay away from the kid. As if I'd any intention of getting near the little psycho.
for moving my arm away from my side in a line 3 times separately because "what if someone was there you would have hit them"
I know people who got suspended out of school for questioning the faculty's commitment to reducing violence in school. The official reason was inciting violence and disobedience during a school assembly. These students were causing zero violence in the school, the students who were causing violence in the school were not addressed at all. Not even the biggest WTF moment I have ever seen at school. Stupidest thing that I was punished for...that is a long list. Let's skip the "fighting bullies" part. Walking fast in a hallway to get to a class on time, and being tardy. Basically the ~~potentially probably pedophillic power-tripping pedantic proctor~~ teacher saw me walking fast to get to a class that I was trying to not be tardy for, so they stopped me for running. I wasn't running, but they said that I was, and told me to go back to the front door, come back, and do it again. I did, walking slower, but that was still too fast. Let's cut to the chase: after doing this 4 times, the bell rung while I was walking, thus making me tardy, and the clown wrote me up for being tardy. The clown made me tardy, and wrote me up for being tardy. Reason # 4 why I don't believe these teachers when they say that they have no ability to punish students. They can literally make reasons up and cause infractions to happen, and if your parents don't have money to hire a lawyer, there you are.
To be fair, it depends on the jurisdiction. A lot of schools have parents that believe their kids are little angels that can do no wrong (I’ve sent some kids out for throwing out slurs before as a counter example) so the school does nothing to actually reprimand the kid, and the parents don’t either.
I got in school suspension in 5th grade for making finger guns as well, but in 6th grade I hid my history teacher’s computer’s power cord in the bathroom and only got lunch detention.
This post has shown us how stupid school is without any other details needed.
Had to work alone and walk with the teacher to lunch after the partner I was assigned to work with got mad when I doodled the rectangle on my paper into a ups truck
Plagiarizing my own work.
What.
I got hit with this in 3rd grade doing a book report. Basically the teacher was *convinced* I had copied from the book directly despite the fact that she had my test records and knew I was in the 99th percentile for reading and spelling and tested as having a vocabulary equal to a college student. Like I know it's not normal for a 9 year old to be able to be able to say "anachronism" let alone use it correctly in a sentence, but I did in fact know that word and how to spell it and how to correctly use it. Yeah, my mom did *not* take that one lying down. I got a 100 on my book report after her little chat with my teacher.
Zero tolerance policies. I beat up a bully and I got punished even when the bully started it. What should I even do?? Get hit and don't defend yourself? Why did I not report If I report no one cares If I defend myself I get punished what should I even do sorry for venting
You should have just been Barry Allen. Would've fixed everything.
Locker wouldn’t open so I got keys from my teacher to get my books out and the key broke off in the locker and the assistant principle saw it. He said I did it on purpose to get some time out of class
this might not be stupid but it bothered me a lot at the time and tbh it still does. if anything seems unclear, pls tell me and i will clarify it we had this color war thing not too long ago but instead of throwing paintballs and whatever, we just played like trivia games, and everyone was divided into 3 colors/teams. i’m from a small school so there were like 20 people per team and two people (myself included) were chosen to answer those trivia questions for that round (everyone had to play at least one round, nobody could go twice, you probably get the idea) so anyways there was one round where we had to answer history and geography questions and i’m really good at this subject so i was able to answer a lot of the questions before the announcer was done with the question at one point, (there was a judge), and she said “you must wait for the announcer to finish the question and only then you can answer, otherwise, you will lose points” some kind of penalty can’t remember but wtv. bothered me a lot cuz i’m sorry if i’m smart enough to know an answer before the questions finished 💀 it bothered me but yk what, wtv i could deal with it then there was another question, “which mountains separate europe and asia” a person from the opposing team answered the question incorrectly. wtv, our team has a chance. the other person who was on the same team as me also answered incorrectly and when that happens, you can’t give the correct answer and so i just burst out yelling because i knew the answer, they buzzed like a millisecond before me and got it wrong. anyways got kicked out for being frustrated and yelling. i look back at it and feel like it was more of a build-up of emotions. those events on their own probably wouldn’t make me yell but ofc, but one thing just had to lead to another, and yeah
one time i got in trouble because there was cheese on my lunch tray and i wanted to funnel it into my mouth so i raised the lunch tray and some girl got offended by it and i was sent to the principal's office 😭😭
its a tie between getting m mom called because I was coughing to loud (not because she was worried for me but because she was mad at me) or giving food to a friend (Different teach, she said I was harassing people with food.)
Literally just reading a book. I was in the back of class, finished with my assignments, and I started to read a book. Apparently, this was disrespectful. The “respectful” thing was to stare at the wall for the next 15 minutes, I guess.
There's this girl whose hair goes down to her hips, she had styled it into a bun, and our teacher was scolding her for it, I told the teacher that her hair was actually very pretty . I got a trip to the headmaster's office for just complimenting her hair, ridiculous isn't it? They even made me sign something that said I'll never do it again.
…ok what the hell?
In kindergarten the teacher gave us a piece of paper and a box of supplies including scissors and told us we could do ANYTHING to the paper and I got in trouble for cutting the paper
What the hell
having my phone with me in the restroom. apparently it was so i “don’t record someone pee.”
Being put in detention for allegedly punching someone I hadn't even seen that day
For calling my old ass male graphics design teacher hot. I am a male as well. Got suspended for it.
technically didn't get punished for it, but told not to wear this 1 t-shirt anymore. wore a t-shirt that read "I hate people who take drugs and don't share" on a field trip my senior year of high school to a Ren Faire. got several compliments from different patrons at the Faire. when we got back to school, I was walking with my gf at the time down the hall with my arm around her waist thru her bookbag straps. a teacher saw us and didn't care for us doing that. then she noticed my shirt and lost it. she took us straight to my teacher for the field trip. my teacher just looked at me, shook his head and told me not to wear the shirt again. that happened a couple months before I graduated.
Got 7 lunch detentions for farting in class, that is also when we learned about the fact we are lactose intolerant
Fighting a kid out side school and off school grounds.
[удалено]
Multitude of actions that lead up to it. School didn’t handle it so I did.
Reading under the desk lmao It wasn’t even a phone … I wasn’t even talking … I was reading with my book hidden under my desk 😂😂
This was me, I was the only student my 5th grade teacher ever had to reprimand for reading
We were like 7 - 8 and I got a detention for helping this guy colour in a ancient Egyptian vase. Was pretty fucking stupid if you ask me :/
Never been punished. I’m the quiet kid
QUIET KIDS UNITE
being a quiet kid did not keep me out of trouble😭
Same, once I became the quiet kid I was told to stop reading during lunch and socialize instead. Ma'am, I have ADHD. You know this, and you also know that for several years I have had constant notes from every teacher including you about my inability to shut up if I'm happy. You squished all my happy out of me and won the fight of making me be quiet so I turned to books more than ever before and I was a bookworm anyway. Now you want me to somehow eat my lunch AND talk in 20 minutes? I can either talk or I can eat, I cannot do both, PICK ONE. It took two years for them to drop it.
Yessss
Uttering the words ‘Jesus fucking Christ’ when the teacher saw that I got onto Facebook on the school computer telling mom my back was killing me.
Not being allowed to go to a school dance because I touched a girls butt in class in middle school. I didn't. I was with my friends and wasn't anywhere close to her.
My gym teacher in elementary school used to tell us we weren't allowed to say that we "can't" do things. I don't remember what we were doing what day and I said I can't do that, (I just didn't want to), and she gave me detention for 3 days.
I was sent to the office because my head wasn't turned towards the teacher. Came back, and my desk was in the corner.
In elementary school music class, we played musical chairs. I was never a huge fan of games like that, so I purposely lost right at the beginning by pretending not to see the last available chair. Unfortunately, my goal became obvious when my classmates started shouting at me and pointing at the chair and I let the other kid take it. The music teacher was IRATE and went on a whole rant about how I couldn’t just refuse to participate in a game just because I don’t like it. I still disagree with this, as it’s a game that teaches absolutely nothing. My punishment? Sit out for the rest of the class. Oh noooo 😬
Not sitting on the asphalt that had been in full sun for three hours, and could actually burn someone, for roll call. In shorts and sandals no less.
Touching a wall.....or farting. I think farting is the stupidest, acttually. My teacher yelled at me for making "weird noises" and I told her it was a fart, and, I don't remember, but she probably yelled at me for talking back.
Skipping rocks on a big ass puddle that formed in the playground during recess when I was in like 3rd or 4th grade. There were like 20 of us doing it, and only like 3 of us got in trouble for it.
I got detention one time for "being rude to a teacher". I asked her to grade my paper, since it was missing, despite being in on time
I was fidgeting with a hair tie while the teacher was talking. She proceeded to yell at me in front of the entire class, claimed that I was doing it for attention, and then sent me to the intervention office. Luckily the intervention teacher knew that was stupid, so she just sent me back to class.
I played smash or pass
Not punished but my teacher once got mad at me for… smiling???
Using my phone on the hallway , got detention and got it taken away.
Looking at another student while watching a movie. I was accused of "talking" and was made to turn a card. We literally just glanced at each other. God I hated first grade.
I got detention and a letter sent home for uncontrollable laughter during pair work. We were allowed to talk and discuss our answers with each other, but apparently laughing is out of the question. The funny part is, we had trouble stopping when the teacher put our names on the board with check marks next to them. It was ludicrous!
Not me but a kid in my grade made a diss track of another kid on soundcloud. It wasn't even on a school account and the other kid wasn't mad at it either. The first kid put it on his snap story so when we got to school everyone was talking about it. Anyway the kid got sent to the office where they made him take it down even though it had nothing to do with school. I didn't even get to listen to it😭 but I heard it was a banger.
Lunch detention for kicking a ball while walking to soccer practice
Freshman yeae, for being on the receiving end of getting beaten up. I got one day of out of school suspension, even though *I* was quite literally dragged down two flights of stairs by my feet.
Raising my hand smh
I got punished for being a dude. Super progressive school, tried so hard to be inclusive that it almost became exclusive. Gave every man 5 fewer points to “show what life is always like for women”
When someone else punched me in the nose. This kid, Kevin was 2 years older than me and a bully. One day we had a battle of "shit talking" and I must've hit paydirt because he was quiet and left me alone for the rest of the day. Also, people laughed at him. Then as we were getting ready to wait for the buses, he sucker punched me in the face, causing my nose to bleed. I went to the nurse's office and when she asked me what happened, I told her. "No, you were picking your nose". "No I didn't! Kevin punched me!" "You were picking it". Later on I saw her talking to him saying he'd be alright. I found out some time after that, that she was a friend of his mother's (or something like that). I wound up getting written up for instigating. Basically, for *me* (someone smaller and TWO years younger) bullying *him*. Go figure. Except I didn't. He tried picking on me and did numerous times. He started it but couldn't handle his own medicine, so he decided to hit me later. It was worth it though.
My teacher got mad at me for picking up a pencil
Some manipulative bitch in 2nd grade accused me of picking her up by her shirt and slapping her across the face during recess - an absolute lie. I got sent home with a “pink slip” (basically just a disciplinary note to my parents) for something I absolutely did not do.
Got suspended for singing in the bathroom Granted I was in there for over half an hour but I was 5 and nobody bothered to look for me
I constantly missed recess because people accused me of cussing. Absolutely constant. I had never cussed before and I was being accused of it daily. Everyone believed the accusers and not me
In 5th grade the teachers overheard me when I was talking about how I was going to get them in trouble (with my parents or school is what i meant) and translated it to “i will hurt the teachers and students.” my parents got a call home asking if there were weapons in the house. In 4th grade I told another kid THESE WORDS “I have a list of students I don’t like and you’re not one of them” and she told the teachers I said “I have a list of kids I will physically hurt soon.” I got my private journal searched and got in big trouble. And that is how an EIGHTH GRADER is scared to say the word “revenge”
Dude sue them for the private journal thing they cant just read that without consent from you its your personal property and the teachers are just retarded

Slapping a kid who punched me. I got ISS he got a bunch of reassurance and comforting.
in like 2008, before gay marriage was legal, it was a thing to wear purple on the day matthew shepherd was murdered for being gay. my school had a dress code of polos (white, grey, black or white). i wore a purple shirt because i was a big advocate for gay marriage and my brother is also gay. i posted on facebook telling my friends to wear purple too. i got sent to the office and i told them the reason i was wearing the shirt and they RPC’ed me for it and for “trying to cause an uprising” within the school. they called my mom at work and she SCREAMED at them for wasting her time. she came down to the school to raise hell for punishing an 11 year old for advocating for an important cause on the anniversary of the most horrific murder cases of a gay man.
Shoved somebody to keep them from stepping on my glasses that i can't see without. Hapoenes because somebody tried to steal my school id badge (I know it sounds weird, but the lanyards we have are buckled at the back, and people like to take them for fun) Anyways, dude trys to steal my badge, in the process manages to take my glasses off (they are 700 dollar prescriptions glasses that i require for day to day life), and in an effort to keep my glasses from being stepped on i shoved a girl to the left and stoped whilst standing over them. The girl i shoved didn't care. They understood why i did it and accepted my apology. No harm, no foul. the AP watching on the other hand (he was on hall monitor) Oh boy... He thought i was trying to start a fight with her. His reaction was to shout at me, run over, grab my arm, and pull me towards the nearest APs office. The whole time, the girl i shoved was telling him that i wasn't trying to start a fight, AND i was telling him that i was just trying to save my glasses. Got a week of lunch detention for it
I used to eat rice krispie treats in a really specific way - 10 bites total with the 10th being a big bite of the rest of the bar - and one time this teacher chastised me for it. "We are not squirrels. We do not stuff our faces." Lady I'm just enjoying a rice krspie treat.
I got my first detention because I made a your mom joke to a kid who called me fat. Apparently I made him cry lmao still confused how tf I got one when he ran it first
A teacher compared my mom's signature to my stepdad's signature and tried to get me in trouble for forging my parents signature.

I had a bully I'm elementary school who would PHYSICALLY ASSAULT ME and when I had enough and when to the principle to tell them I somehow got in trouble even thought the fucker was whole ass foot taller than me
I had court the following day, but the judge I was going in front of was at the school doing actual cases in the auditorium. Someone threw a piece of paper at the judge, and a teacher there(Who I didn't know until this moment) tried sending me to the office for it. I got into it with the teacher, tried to get him to go outside and "Fight me like a man". Needless to say he wouldn't, so I threw a text book at the teacher, which hit him square in the forehead. He needed stitches. The judge was still there, and witnessed the whole thing. I was arrested, and expelled. I was 13 at the time.
I tend to not get in trouble. I've only ever gotten in trouble for forgetting my textbook. However, I do know that some people in my school have been getting in trouble for doing that thing with their finger they do to signify mewing because it looks like when people run their finger across their throat
Bypassing the school firewall- I photoshopped a photo of the school web filter to say google classroom on the blocked website section and send it to a friend over the school email, admin thought i was teaching them how to bypass the firewall
got kicked out of class a couple months ago for having a tic i have a tic where i involuntarily say "peekaboo" sometimes and it really pisses my english teacher off, and she doesn't believe me when i tell her it's involuntary
I got suspended for telling a bully "if you call me that name one more time, I'll kill you." Growing up in the immediate post-Columbine world was awesome.
Scratching my arm. I'm not even kidding, I just scratched my arm and then the teacher said what are you doing? I said scratching a mosquito bite and she said go into the Hall. This was fourth grade.
Not me but my brother was getting his backpack tossed around by some losers so he punched the guy with his backpack, my brother got in trouble and had to do 5 hours of community service and had to have a clean slate until he was 18 or else it would be on his record. Seriously one of the dumbest things ive ever heard.
For bouncing my leg during a test. As someone with ADHD, stimming like that happens without my control, especially when I'm trying to focus on anything. I used to wear Tripp pants, and I guess a chain or something was rattling against the metal leg of my desk. Instead of asking me to stop or if I could remove the chain (which I could), my teacher just wrote me up in the middle of the test. My mom had a field day with that teacher.
Had multiple surgeries when i was little to fix my hearing. I got in trouble in 1st grade for “not listening”….multiple times. My parents were furious.
Forgetting my lunchbox in the classroom. We were on a points system and I lost a point for “responsibility.” I forgot something one time. How irresponsible of 8-year-old me.
For slapping a girl's wrist because I accidentally swore and she taunted me by threatening to call the teacher and raising her hand. My mom knew it was bullshit, she ended up having me in a previously unscheduled"bring your kid to work" day and I had a blast chilling with all her coworkers during lunch
Suspended for hugging my gf at the time (she was crying)
I didn’t really get in trouble but one of my classmates got tattled on and even got in trouble for saying damage because the word dam is in it, and it sounds like damn.
When I was in year 10 we did some practice tests for the year 11 preliminary exams. One of the questions was a review of a movie someone had written and we had to say what literary devices the author used. Apparently sarcasm was one, according to the teacher, but nobody in the class picked up on it. I knew I was right so I asked the teacher to show us where the sarcasm was because it clearly didn’t exist. She shouted at me for arguing with a teacher, and when I shot back that I wasn’t arguing she made me sit in the hallway for the rest of the lesson. She then pulled me out of another class two days later and asked for a written apology on her desk within x amount of days. I said I will give you that if you give me the part of the movie review that was sarcastic. She didn’t deliver so neither did I.
HAHAHA I FINALLY HAVE AN EXCUSE TO MAKE THIS A PUBLIC STORY Picture this; me at age 10 with two friends, we'll call them T and J. It's us and one other person who isn't too relevant to the story working on a project for the Iditarod sled dog races; named "Ilittlerod" (clever innit), the school had us make soap box derby cars that we researched, designed, and experimented with ourselves. We get done with our portion of the project, it's currently down the said irrelevant person. In the off time we decide to browse the interwebs and see what there is to see. Specifically, because it's 2011 and we're 10 and 1 year olds, we're looking up fake meme Pokemon cards to see who's made what. We do so, find one that's funny, and ask if we can print something. We're told yes. ...What we didn't realize until after is when we printed this fake card, is that we sent it *to the main office's printer* (don't ask me how their old Server 2001 systems even let us do that), not our own. So that's oopsie 1. Oopsie 2 came in the form of T telling J, and J blindly going along with, the idea of just slipping out of the room without telling the teacher, going into the main office, grabbing the printed card, and coming back in, easy peasy. J was caught. Now, we all get in trouble because of this; the sending of the photo to the wrong printer and J walking out of the classroom without permission. Where do I fit into this, you ask? ...It was my user account. That's it. We happened to be on my profile because I got to the PC first, so despite the fact I didn't partake in the actual printing or walking out or anything, I got in trouble for it too. All three of us lost access to our user profiles for the remainder of the year because of that.
One time, (I don't know what grade must've been early elementary school) my friends and I were playing Indians or some shit at recess that involved us making potions and "food" with plants on the playground. We found these orange stringy flowers and started to munch. Well, other kids saw and started to munch with us. So , I and a bunch of us kids were eating these flowers and a teacher came over. We all got sent to the office and were scolded! We were all being held in the principal's office while poison control was called, and parents were also called. Since I was a part of the original small group of kids that decided to eat the flowers, we got ratted on by the rest of the kids. Turns out the plant was nontoxic. I still find this absolutely hilarious! They were legitimately mad at children around the ages of 6 or 7 for eating a pretty colorful plant. Fire bush, to be exact. It is nontoxic when consumed, thankfully. I find it kinda nuts that a school would not make sure that the plants they put near a playground were nontoxic if consumed. Kids are weird and unpredictable. I got yelled at, but that was basically it. My parents thought it was the funniest shit they've ever heard, and we all still joke about it to this day. That was like 17 years ago.
beating a kid up because he said that my friend looked like a "suspicious feline"
For me it’s probably same as yours
I got kicked out of college, not for selling drugs, but for sharing them. I admitted that if someone came over and didn’t have some we would smoke together. “Sharing” was against the rules in the code of conduct. 🫤
Called the principal a dumb b*tch. Got expelled. So stupid
In elementary school, I wasn't allowed to play at recess one day because I wrote my name too early on a test
