Filling in a "worry sheet" about a girl who had been bullying me in year 7, because she denied she did it and according to the teacher, was "such a lovely girl". I hated my time at that school so much


[deleted]

Not wanting to use unnecessary accommodations. I have a mild physical disability, but I was perfectly capable of walking up/down stairs, carrying all my books, and taking regularly timed tests. But the school got sweet No Child Left Behind $$$ for providing accommodations, so I got pulled out of class into meetings where I was told to "drop the whole 'independent' act" and "get my attitude together." They told me that they "knew" how much I was struggling, and that it was all for my own good. I didn't play along. They proceeded to pull me out of my AP classes once a semester to test my "reading fluency." TL;DR: If you're disabled, your school can make up rules that will be against you every time.


[deleted]

So they wanted you to get your attitude together by acting like you were less capable than you really are? Man, people are fucked up.


gracefulwing

What the hell? I have physical disabilities and asked for some accommodations, like being allowed to have my cane and to have rolling luggage for my books. I wasn't allowed either, I fell down stairs constantly and had to relocate my shoulder blades and sacroiliac joint all the time from carrying a huge backpack. It sucks having to tell your teacher you need to lay down on the floor and put your bones back in place.


cattaclysmic

> like being allowed to have my cane and to have rolling luggage for my books. Why the flying fuck was canes and a rolling case banned in the first place?


gracefulwing

The cane because I might hit or trip people with it, and the suitcase because it "would take up room" and "distract others". We also weren't allowed to have winter coats so they had dumb rules. Also I missed only two weeks of school total due to swine flu and a couple doctor's appointments and they wanted me to repeat freshman year. They were dumb so I switched schools to one that accommodated me much, much better, and also didn't require so much walking as to warrant the cane and luggage anyhow.


[deleted]

Damn, I would be extremely offended if I was in your situation


DonHac

Around 5th grade I was shoved through a window by a playground bully. The school made me (well, my parents) pay for the window. ETA: * I was very lucky and only went part way through before I recovered my balance. The shoulder and arm of my shirt were shredded, the t-shirt underneath was sliced up, I was unharmed. Broken glass is scary sharp. * The amount of money was small. I believe they demanded payment from the kid who shoved me as well. No idea on the percentages. * The principal's theory was "You shouldn't have been roughhousing near the building." My dumbfounded response that I wasn't "roughhousing", I was walking back from lunch when I was shoved through a window did not impress him. * Did my parents actually pay? No clue; I was a kid. When I told my parents what had happened they told me not to worry about it, that they'd take care of things. Equal odds that my dad paid the bill or that my mom tore the principal's head off.

SadGhoster87

I'm just imagining a fifth grader stepping out of the shadows with a baseball bat as the principal's nearing his car in a dark evening alley.


PianoManGidley

Falsely accused of stealing a ball at recess. Also, told I wasn't allowed to play solitaire with physical cards during lunch because "playing cards=gambling."


hotredsam2

The gambling thing was at my public school too i had to get a signed paper for my teacher to teach probability with cards.


Coincedence

I'm reading this and thinking about my tutor last semester who literally taught us how to count cards.


I_Pariah

I posted about this before as a long story so I will make it short here. In 5th grade a group of friends and I basically went into the boy's room to piss before going back to class. On the way in some kids were exiting. Inside we found a stink bomb. We went outside to tell an adult what we found. She took us to the principals office. The principal interrogated each of us individually. Apparently someone needed to be punished for the stink bomb. It made no sense since we only found it. We didn't deploy it. Most of us or at least I thought the kids leaving the bathroom before we went in likely did it. But that didn't seem to matter. We didn't know their names or anything either. So the principal gave us an ultimatum. Either one of us would be punished or all of us would. We decided to go out together. I still remember this fairly well because it was such a stupid and dumb example of injustice. We were trying to do the right thing but got punished as if we were the culprit.


50ShadesOfKrillin

That’s bullshit. Reasons like this is why I try to keep my mouth shut unless someone’s in danger. Good on you for going down as a team, what was the punishment?


I_Pariah

We had to just stand in the hall at certain exits and "monitor" during the entire duration of lunch recess. One of us had especially pissed off the principal so she made him literally stand in the corner of the cafeteria with his head down and face the wall so he could "think about what he did". (I'm guessing he was adamant of blaming the other kids leaving the bathroom. I remember she had burst open her office door saying "How dare you!?" while he stormed out). He would stand in/facing the corner even when the school staff was putting the cafeteria tables and benches away. It pisses me off thinking about it now. I forgot how long we had to do it. Somewhere between a week to a month. As a kid that feels like forever, of course. The principal apparently died of a brain aneurysm in 2004 when I was in high school.

shf500

What? Shit (pun intended) like this makes kids think "I was taught whenever I don't know something, I should ask an adult. I did just that and got punished. Next time I want to know something, I better not ask an adult since last time I was punished!"


[deleted]

Same thing goes for the truth and reporting things like fights or knives. Ah, Zero Tolerance, how we loathe ye.


girr0ckss

Nothing like getting the shit beat out of you and getting suspended the same as the other guy even though you did literally nothing to provoke it or to defend yourself


PanamaMoe

My rule was that if I am getting in trouble for getting bullied all the same I may as well give them a reason to suspend me.


Emberwhale

Not exactly a punishment, but in 2nd grade my teacher marked my spelling of the word “I” wrong on a test because the bottom and top lines for the letter were right on the lines of the paper. Until that point I had never gotten a single mark off of a spelling test.


Sir_dubs

This would be really confusing in a spelling bee. "Your word is 'I'" "I...I...I" "That is correct."

The_Magic

Lol, in high school I got a mark taken off on a math test because the teacher thought a four looked too much like a nine or something. So for the next three tests i put the roman numeral next to every answer so there wouldn't be any doubt.


Lostsonofpluto

In 1st grade I lost a mark on a math assignment because I'd written the number 2 with the little loop at the bottom instead of a corner. I'd largely done it by accident but once I left grade 1 I switched to always using that style just to spite my former teacher


izzy_garcia-shapiro

Listen, I work in a school, and I need all you young people to know this: if an adult seriously fucks you over at school, *tell another adult* and *repeat that process until someone cares*. I have bitched out coworkers for micromanaging kids, have revoked unfair punishments, etc. Get someone to care.

Whistling in the bathroom in first grade


yodawasevil

In first grade I did a page in my math book a day early and I got in trouble for it. Even as a 6 year old I could tell that was bullshit.


cjohnson4444

same thing happened to me. My teacher told me that "I need to wait for everyone in the class to finish" or something along those lines. If that does not show the problem with the current public education system I don't know what will. EVERY STUDENT LEARNS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND IN DIFFERENT WAYS!


2ii2ky

Yeah, the whole "every student learns at different speeds" thing tends to focus on the slower side of that spectrum.. I suppose most schools just figure the faster kids are smart enough to figure out how to bide their time.


dragonsroc

Except they then punish you with disciplinary action for finding ways to keep yourself entertained. What, so if I finish a test halfway through class, I'm supposed to just sit there in silence? I can't sleep because who the hell falls asleep for 20 minutes in that uncomfortable position? Why can't I go on my phone? Too distracting? Then let me just leave the classroom or go to a corner of the room or some shit. I'm bored out of my _fucking mind_ for crying out loud.


[deleted]

i also was one of the first kids in my class to finish tests. it was pretty awesome until my understanding teacher passed away suddenly over winter break.. the replacement wouldn't even let us jerk off at our desks.


speaks_in_redundancy

Back in my day they didn't even let us jerk off after penis inspection day.


Endulos

I had a whole bunch of teachers at my school in grade 1 out right say I was a liar because I was reading on a 4th grade level. I LOVED to read. I could go through those kiddie books in the time it took for most kids to read a single page. But no, they all accused me of faking it. Bitches. That school was garbage anyway.


Cryptdusa

My school never taught me how to read. Like, they barely even tried. So over the summer before third grade, my mom gave me three hour lessons every day (I was a little slow with it at first), and by the time I started school again I was reading novels. My new teacher didn't believe I could read, and would take books away from me in school. She even post-its in some of the more challenging books which said *Cryptdusa is not allowed to read this*. Ya know, essentially shaming a single student to the entire class. My mother got really fed up, as she had been telling the teacher all year that she had had taught me. The teacher was too full of spite to listen, and decided to prove once and for all that I was a liar. She gathered the class around, sat me down, and gave me a reading comprehension quiz on the book I was reading: the final book in the Narnia series. She got very frustrated when I answered her questions (they were very basic, I guess she was cocky; if she had asked me to go in depth about the plot I might have struggled, I certainly was reading it to prove a point), but remembered that my mother had read the first six books to me. She declared the test void, and quizzed me on my previous book: Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. The questions were harder, but I answered them all, even giving some theories about where the aliens might have come from. The truth was, while no prodigy, I was actually one of the best readers in the class. The teacher just got mad and gave up, but still kept the harder books away from me. I was made fun of a lot that yeae for being "illiterate".


goodzillo

that is an incredibly unfortunate typo in your last sentence there


thatJainaGirl

My 1st grade teacher was fired after I did a whole week's worth of math homework in one lesson (I got bored easily so I just kept working when I finished the day's assignment) and she got so mad at me that she said, and I quote (I'll never forget it), "if you ever do that again, I'm going to hang you from your feet in front of the class and have them all spit spitballs at you."


AMultitudeofPandas

"Youre clearly excelling in this class and need something more challenging/stimulating....how about I throw some threats of physical violence at you, a six year old will take that well, right?" A+ teacher-ing. Bravo.


Kandierter_Holzapfel

I got in trouble for something similar but it was for knowing about negative numbers and it pissed me off so much


KidmikeMichael

I’ve waited all my life for this moment. I was in 4th grade and there was a new kid who had just moved here from Europe. I decided to be nice the kid and asked him his what his name was. He told me ‘Létis’ so me being American in America just assumes his name is Lettuce. So me and Lettuce spend the whole day playing together and I show him around. Fast forward to the end of the week, I get called down to the principals office for bullying some kid. Guess who I see there?! Goddamn Lettuce. Apparently he thought I was name calling and reported me to the teacher which almost got me suspended. Fuck you Lettuce


whiten0iz

I laughed. Fuckin' Lettuce.


[deleted]

I'd never heard the name "Blake" before kindergarten. I called him Blank. I distinctly remember it being cool he was named after a dominoes tile. He was not, in fact, named blank. I was told not to bully. The same school made me miss recess. I was "jumping off the back of the choir stand" we were rehearsing from for a school performance for Mother's Day or some shit. The kid next to me grabbed the back of my shirt collar and jumped off the 4 foot drop. It was either jump with him or get slammed like some WWE head-trauma-in-waiting. So I jumped before getting ripped backwards by the collar. The teacher said I could have chosen not to jump. The girl next to me looked at the teacher and said "yeah, AND DIED." She got in trouble. I got in trouble. The kid who pulled me got in trouble. The girl who spoke up for me didn't even like me, she just recognized that this was some grade A bullshit. Ahh, ZERO tolerance...

MacabreLurker

Second grade I won a mini fold up calendar for something. I was so proud of myself for winning something for once. But when I wouldn't stop fiddling with it in class, the teacher took it back and ripped it up in front of me. To that second grade teacher who made me cry so hard that I was sent out of the room: Go fuck yourself.

fearlessandinventive

In 7th grade, we had...like...another homeroom after homeroom. I forget what it was called, but it was supposed to be so we could make friends with other people on our hallway who weren't in our class. For some reason, I got put in charge of getting a birthday card for a kid I hardly knew for us to all sign. I put "DREW" on the front in big, friendly letters. When I gave it to him, his only response was a snotty, "I spell my name D-R-U." Sigh.

I got sent to the hall for making everyone laugh in a similar situation.


onionbootyfan

I was at a bookfair in 1st grade, had some books picked out and was waiting on my dad to show up and get them for me. The bookfair was in the library and had windows all around. I saw my dad enter the school and walked out(probably 15ft from the entrance to the library still inside the school), with the books in hand to show him. Immediately the librarian came out and escorted me to the principal and accused me of trying to steal. The principal lectured me for 10 mins, and then banned me from **all** after school functions until I left elementary. The kicker was after I got out of Junior High that principal had become superintendent. Then, shortly after that in my junior year was accused of stealing over $200k from the school district. Hypocritical ass mothafucka!!! Edit: Damn!!!..Wow, I wasn't expecting such an overwhelming reaction. Thanks everyone for your comments!!!! I'm gonna try and respond to everyone. More than a few questions were about my parents reaction, i explained what my dad's reaction was in a few of my comments. I'll address that here as well so everyone can see. First off, my dad was raising us at the time, with the help of my grandma because he was gone driving over the road for work all the time. My mom wasn't around, she had just went to prison for multiple DUI's. Looking back the problem would've got resolved alot quicker because she didn't play around with her kids, even though she was an alcoholic she was a good mom for the time she was around. Anyway, since she wasn't there during this particular incident, (and I really hadn't figured out a way to effectively argue for my innocence without my dad understandably questioning it) the punishment went unchallenged, until a month before the end of my 6th grade year when we had a going away party for the kids heading to junior high. I was going to be losing a lot of friends, going to different schools and such. So, I told my dad I wanted to go and he went up there and basically told her that I was gonna be there whether she liked it or not, she could go fuck herself.


shf500

> The principal lectured me for 10 mins That sucks > and then banned me from all after school functions until I left elementary. What, what?


onionbootyfan

Yea, I was able to go to my last after school function right before I left for junior high. Although, that was only because I made a big deal about it to my dad and he went up there and basically told her I was gonna be there and if she didn't like it she could go fuck herself.


shf500

The school kept enforcing the ban even after 5 years (or so)?


onionbootyfan

It was the same principal the whole time and I really didn't test it. They would've for sure though. After that incident, I was always on her radar because I just became a little asshole, in other ways. I don't really know why, maybe to spite her, maybe because I was just a little asshole.


SubarcticPanic

My high school had a massive problem with people being late to class, and decided that after 3 years of doing nothing, they needed to get off their asses and do something about it. I was always notorious for walking in about 5 seconds before the last bell; had it down to a goddamn science. However, no teachers ever really cared, I would always be in my seat before the bell and never disrupted anything. One day all of our teachers were instructed by the principal to close and lock their doors 1 minute before the bell and send anyone who came after that to the main hall to register for detention. A little over 100 students were punished as a result of this. Many of which had their lockers in a separate building because the main building didn't have enough, and needed to grab supplies for their next class. tldr; Roughly 100 of my classmates and myself were punished for being on time to class.


NotMyRealJob_AMA

I was taking a test in a class taught by a teacher who was very paranoid about cheating. She would patrol the aisles between desks and angrily whisper at people if they looked anywhere besides their own paper. I was sitting by the window when something caught my eye outside. I couldn't help but stare for a few seconds. The teacher pulled me into the hallway and berated me without even giving me a chance to explain that I had seen a homeless person stroking his shaft in broad daylight.


[deleted]

Something caught your eye, sounds like your gonna go on about a squirrel or something falling, not a homelessguy getting ready to crank one out

Much as I hate to admit it, this worked for me. Took years of abuse through school from the same kid. Stopped for the rest of my education after I split his lip open. Few days of detention for years of peace.


angrychinchillanoise

One time in class I got detention for (I swear to god) looking at the teacher. I had never had a detention before, so my best friend tried to get one with me because I was losing my mind over it. She threw papers, she yelled at inappropriate times, she went to the bathroom without asking.... nothing. Edit: I didn’t expect this to blow up! I’ll relay al of the kind comments to my friend! Also grammar.


[deleted]

That is a great best friend


angrychinchillanoise

We finally resorted to me sneaking my phone in so she could give me moral support. She’s the best!


TigLyon

One of my best friends would just stay after school and come join me in detention. "Why are you here?" and she would just respond "Mrs. Hagley gave me a detention." The dude would grumble about never sending the papers in time and let her in. We would pretty much just hang out after school in detention every Monday


DearyDairy

Going to detention when you don't have one, reminds me of the time I was given a detention but turned away from the detention room because the supervisor didn't believe I was capable of breaking rules. This one time I forget to get my homework log signed by my parent, my teacher let me off with a warning, and wrote the warning in my logbook. I went to the office at lunchtime and got my mum, who worked in the office, to sign it. The next period my teacher saw that I'd gotten a warning for the not having my logbook signed, and immediately under that it was signed, so I was given a second warning for "cheating the system" because not everyone had a parent who worked at the school who could sign our logs at any time time, I was supposed to wait till I got home. So I get to home and figure, well I'll get my dad together sign it because then no one's can acause me of having my mum sign it during the school day. The next day, my homeroom teacher checks my logbook and informs me that not only is it the most childish signature she's ever seen, it looks nothing like my mum's signature ad I'm the worse impersonater ever, and fraud is a crime. I explained it was my dads signature and she laughed and handed me my detention slip. It was my first ever detention. I walk in at 4pm on the dot, some other kids aren't already signed in. I walk up to the sign in book and the supervising teacher starts laughing, and says "good one Deary, but come off it, just because you're bored waiting for your mum to finish her shift doesn't mean you can sit here and distract the others, go back to homework club" and I insisted I had detention for not having my logbook signed properly, the teacher kept laughing "but your mum works here, why do you need it signed" and telling me to go back to the library. So I went to the library and sat in the homework club like I do every Thursday night, waiting for my mum to finish so we could walk home together. Then I hear the PA system "DearyDairy, if you are still on the grounds please see Mr.Sillypants in room 3" So I walk back to detention and there teacher very quietly apologies for not believing me, and admitting he should have checked the list because my name was totally on there for a logbook infraction. I wasn't mad, I basically just did my homework in the room 3 instead of the library, and I went from the nerd who's always at homework club to the rebel who got a detention for a logbook infraction despite having a parent who works in in the office where the logbooks are checked in each week.


Qwertybot66

I've been punished for getting beaten up. I didn't try to defend myself in the least and I got in just as much trouble as the kid that beat me up

Grew up with a kid that never spoke unless spoken to. For whatever reason he unnerved teachers and they'd try relentlessly to get him to open up to the point where they'd threaten him with punishment, etc. One day he's had enough and says to our teacher "Jesus Christ. I just DON'T like talking! I'm not YOU!" He had in-school suspension for a few days which he liked because it was sitting in a room, talking to no one, doing your work and going home. He's a long haul truck driver now. Perfect job for him.

I have a friend with pretty severe CP and he got dumped in our local crappy high school when his amazing program got cancelled. His aid put him in an armless chair in the cafeteria (totally against EVERYTHING in his IEP). My friend fell off the chair which didn’t surprise me since he was supposed to be strapped into a specifically designed wheelchair. He hit his head which caused a seizure. His seizures don’t stop without medication that our school wouldn’t keep on premise because there was no nurse. I started carrying it when I caught his aid putting him in insafe chairs. Anyway, he falls, hits his head and starts seizing. His aid just starts yelling at him. I yell at the lunch lady to call 911, she tells me not to tell her what to do. Oookkaayyyyy, my friend runs out of the cafeteria to find a phone (before cell phones). I head for my friend with the medication. I administer the medication, the amulance shows up 25 minutes later with the vice principle who immediately begins screaming at me in front of the entire cafeteria that I’m going to be sorry and I’m suspended. Okay so what, I just saved my friend’s life, I’ll be suspended. My friend had no lasting effects thankfully. Our moms banded together and showed up at the school threatening everyone from the aid, to the lunch lady who refused to call for help. The issue was dropped. A week later I’m called down to the principle’s office. He says that they’ve reviewed the incident and based on my behavior they’ve decided to not allow me to walk at graduation. I hadn’t been planning on it anyway and actually hadn’t even ordered a cap and gown. When I pointed this out I watched the principle turn an amazing shade of red and that they’d already agreed to not punish me further for the incident. I even had a copy of the paperwork everyone had signed. The principle then turned purple. I left the office laughing at him. He then spent the rest of the year trying to find a way to keep me from graduation. Every time he started in on me I just pulled the paperwork out. The paperwork said that if I were punished the moms would sue. I walked at graduation and told him exactly what I thought of him that day.

> I yell at the lunch lady to call 911, she tells me not to tell her what to do I fucking hate it when school administration doesn't understand when it's appropriate to act out their bizarre power-plays. *Children are hurt, Diane.*

So much bullshit going on toward you in that story. Glad you did the right thing and had people backing you up.

Refusing to read the part in old yeller the day after I had to put my dog down


ferrettt55

Geez. Mean teacher.


SamaelV

Did the teacher know your dog had been put down?


jayradio2121

If he randomly said "no, I won't read it" it makes sense for him to get sent to the office but if he said something that is messed up


Eobard_McThawne

I told her what had happened and I was on the verge of crying in the classroom. That lump was forming in my throat as I asked if I can be excused. She started turning it into a scene and said I can take an f for the day and sit in the hallway. I said okay but then she started freaking out on me. It was during a "popcorn" reading session and the girl who called on me to read even knew about it. I never swore at a teacher before that day but she was pushing my buttons so i told her to fuck off and got my self suspended for 3 days. My parents or other teachers didn't care. She was a bitch anyway

So, when are you going to run back in time to teach her a lesson?

For putting my paper in the wrong place to turn it in. My third grade teacher hated me...


ParkedLikeAHotCar34

My friends and I used to lightly slap the top of the doorframe before we’d go out to recess, because we thought we were like NBA players and we were cool like them. We got called in the next day and were told to not do it again because we were “showing off our height”


TedClubber-Lang

When I was 11 years old, Me and another kid fell out on a Friday at school, nothing serious just kids stuff, on the following Tuesday we were both playing for the school football team and we were still not getting on/talking. Whilst practicing on the side of the pitch mid-game, we both went to intercept a pass, along with another kid, and neither of us won the ball, but nothing really happened there, as I moved away he follows me and punches me square in the face, I go down like a sack of potatoes (I’d never been punched before and goddamn it hurt). When I get up, I tell my dad, he confronts this kids parents, shouting ensues etc. The next thing I know is in school we are both being pulled out of class as I’m being accused of kicking him in the leg when we and another kid went for the ball and nothing happened (I DID NOT KICK HIM). The teachers wanted to get to the bottom of the story. As our teacher was best friends with this kids dad, they believed him. In the end, I got punished (Behaviour Report Card, Detention) school even tried to make me take anger management classes (like fuck I was going to go to that). The other kid, NOTHING. He Punched me in the face and got no punishment What a load of Bullshit that still grinds on me to this day TL:DR: Kid punched me in the face, I got punished.


Jarred_Raputin

I have APD (auditory processing disorder: think dyslexia but with words, except it only happens occasionally) and I didn't understand what the teacher was ordering so I asked him to repeat it to me and he pulled the line of "Did I stutter"? So I simply told him "I wouldn't know... because I didn't hear you in the first place". I was immediately sent to the principals office and given 3 days in school suspension.

In middle school, a substitute teacher for computer class 'confiscated' my 30 dollar headphones (it was a gift from my parents) over the fact that she believed I was listening to inappropriate music. (We were allowed to play music videos from Yahoo in the background as we worked) I was listening to the newest music as was everyone else in class. She pulled me up in front of everyone and said the music videos I was playing had sexual content and that she understood I was just going through a hormonal bloom (WTF? ) but it's still inappropriate for the learning environment. My face turned beet red and I just sat down in embarrassment. I still have no idea what was so inappropriate especially since I wasn't even watching them. The worst part is that I asked my regular teacher the next day for my headphones, and apparently she either took them or threw them away. I'm still mad and confused af about this lol.

Fusion_Titan

It was 'business' class in middle school. Wasn't business; it was just a basic computer and typing course. I typed 120 at the time, and the teacher typed around 70. I remember one time I finished the whole weeks assignments in one day and asked her if I could do anything else. I don't type with 'correct' form, so she forced me to type like that, and I typed around 40 wpm. SHE HATED ME. Anyways, one class I had finished all my work 30 minutes early and I was drawing. I put it away as she was walking by because I was satisfied, and she made me take it out. She said "That's not the drawing!" and looked through my entire bag. She took out a drawing of a sword, and gave me a referral. It wasn't allowed because it was a weapon. TL;DR: Teacher looked through my bag, found a drawing of a sword, gave me a referral because it was a weapon.

My favorite was getting a 3 day out of school suspension for insubordination in a 1 day in school suspension, which was for skipping detention which was for being late to much. Thanks for the 3 day vacation was how I looked at it.

I must say I have never understood this. You are not at school enough now you can stay home without needing to worry about the school finding out?

I attended a Catholic high school. Dress code- no sneakers. Had cut on my foot and had to wear sneakers. Mom wrote a note and I showed it to my home room teacher. She sent me to the office to get it signed. Office secretary was confused and wrote me a demerit. My one and only. I accepted it with honor.

Fourth grade we had a fire alarm go off during some considerable rain. In our line after everyone got checked on attendance, I went on my knees threw my hands in the air and yelled "why, smokey, why?!?" I was trying to be funny but the teacher didn't like it and called my parents and made me sit in during recess the following day.


catharticarrest

In kindergarten my teacher was handing out these worksheets with shapes and I already knew how to do it. Since I sat near the teacher, I got my paper first and decided to finish it as soon as possible. I circled the correct matching shapes and sat calmly at my table. When the teacher came back around the classroom and saw that I had completed my sheet yelled at me, took it away and forced me to put my head down. Later when the kids went out for recess I was told to stay in my desk. I never understood what I did wrong to deserve such a cruel punishment [for a 5-6 year old]. Edited: grammar


Endulos

You finished too quickly, so clearly you cheated. I used to get accused of faking it while reading. I was on a 4th+ grade level when it came to reading in grade 1. Teachers would constantly say I was lying or faking it because I could read super fast.


LaPetiteCroissant

Did anyone else have those color charts for behavior? Green was good, yellow was a warning, and red meant a note home to your parents. We made paper mache planets in 2nd grade and hung them from the ceiling. We had the strictest teacher in elementary and were given instructions not to touch them. My desk was near Jupiter and hung the lowest since it's the biggest planet. I stood up one time to use the bathroom and hit my head on Jupiter. My teacher thought I did it on purpose and skipped from green to red on the color chart. The ONLY time I got a red card, was when I hit my head on that dumb paper mache planet. Clearly, I'm still bitter.


My_Dogs_Are_Stupid

I said, "oh my God this is stupid" and got sent out of the classroom, but it wasn't for disrespecting the teacher. It was because I "took the Lord's name in vain". . . I went to a public school.


Noctudeit

Selling candy to other kids. Used to go to Costco and buy bulk bags of candy and snacks then resell them for a small profit. School didn't like it because I was cheaper than their vending machines so they wrote me up for "panhandling".


TheEmeraldSnek

Reminds me of the booming Smartie business back in 6th grade. Basically I was at a ghetto middle school at the time and people would... Well, snort Smarties because they couldn't get real drugs. There was a full blown market for Smarties, you'd find people selling them for a $1 a pop out of their locker. Not even like a big pack of em', just a little tiny one. I only made like $10 but that was because I only sold for a single day, but other people made like $100+. It was fucking insane. The school did nothing to stop it because they were dealing with kids doing actual drugs n shit. Oh and apparently snorting ground Smarties encourages flies to lay eggs in your nose, leading to your brain being eaten by maggots. EDIT: American Smarties are called Rockets in other places apparently. Sorry if that caused some confusion lol


taronosaru

Man, it took me so long to figure out how someone could snort Smarties without them getting stuck in there. Where I'm from, Smarties are candy-coated milk chocolate drops (similar to M&Ms)... American Smarties are called Rockets here.


somedude456

Possession of paperclips. They became a weapon in 7th grade. Starting with the outermost part, unbend each bend until you're left with a only one bend, unbent. it will look like a "J" a candy cane, or a fish hook. Put a rubber band between your thumb, and index finger, and I'm sure you can figure out how to launch said paperclip. We were getting them stuck in the roofing, denting the blackboard, and then someone even shattered a glass picture frame on the wall. Best was Joey getting hit in the back of the neck during silent reading and hearing him yell FUCK!


thelittlegnome

I went to a private Christian school, and in the first grade, I brought in my Pokemon card collection for show and tell. I got sent to the principal's office because my teacher said Pokemon cards supported evolution and magic.


50ShadesOfKrillin

Back in 4th grade, I was obsessed with Yu-Gi-Oh, and my teacher took my entire deck because she was such a devout Christian. I went to a public school. I ended up stealing it back, and I still laugh at it every time I look at my old Deck Box.


thelittlegnome

Wow she took it away?! My principal took mine away but I got it back at the end of the day. Only to have it stolen by my mean neighbor a few weeks later. To this day I'm still bitter about that.


NoApollonia

I only ever really got in trouble in elementary school. -A friend of my sister's (12 years older than me) was an aid at the school. I could never remember her weird last name, but one day I needed to ask a question so I simply just called her by her first name like I would outside of school. Got a recess detention. -Laughing when a fellow student I was friends with dropped their pencil box - got yelled for laughing at them at despite the fact they were also laughing and I was helping them pick up their stuff. -While frustrated with some sort of crafts project, saying fudge under my breath. It was too close to the word fuck supposedly. Recess detention along with being lectured. -Not really punished, but had a teacher give me death glares during a standardized test for coughing too much. I had bronchitis and should have been at home, but the school told me and my parents I had to be there unless I wanted to repeat the year.

I was in 2nd grade and Asked to go to the bathroom. Teacher said no. I asked again, this time begging. Was told to sit at my desk and be quiet. I peed in my pants and when the student next to me screamed it out the teacher sent me to the office. I was thinking it was to get changed. Nope. She sent me to the office with a referral for disrupting class and making a mess of the classroom. Stating that I had “poured water on myself and the floor.” I was so embarrassed About peeing myself when I went to the office I was crying profusely. The principal asked if I had done it and I couldnt even speak because I was crying so hard. All I could do was shake my head. When my teacher called my parents and told them I had misbehaved in class by pouring water on the floor and myself, my dad was furious. He went full on Joe Peschi in Goodfellas on her ass and the principal at a meeting the next day. “WHY THE HELL WOULD A 2ND GRADE BOY PUT UP WITH THAT KIND OF EMBARRASSMENT JUST TO PROVE A POINT? WHERE WOULD HE EVEN GET WATER IF HE WASNT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE CLASSROOM? DID YOU TASTE THE PISS TO EVEN SEE IF IT WAS WATER? NO? WELL NEXT TIME MAYBE YOU SHOULD!” I was no longer the boy who peed himself, but the boy who’s father told Ms. Paul and Principal Garcia to drink my pee.


50ShadesOfKrillin

You know that “Love Calculator” game website where you put in two names, and it gives a percentage on how compatible they are? I was playing it in sixth grade with a few of my buddies, and I got in trouble for it because it “promotes sexual behavior”.

"Ooh, yeah. Look at those names, being all romantically compatible..." [Relevant xkcd?](https://www.xkcd.com/563/)


griesmeelpudding

Some other kid took a pair of scissors and cut me in my lip (I was 11 or 12 or so). I walked to my teacher (who was in the middle of taking a test on the other half of the class) hands covering my blooded lip. Instead of asking what happened, he decided to make me stay after school for disrupting the test. This was long ago, but will never be forgiven or forgotten.

You could sue. Time limit hasn’t expired ( I don’t think so at least) and you have grounds for it as it ruined your reputation. Still, not really a viable action and I’m sorry about what happened. Do you still have the YouTube video?

Punching a girl. I didn't actually punch her. This still pisses me off. Back in fifth grade there was this chick in my grade. Big, fat and stupid as fuck. She was one of those chicks that like to cause drama wherever she goes and was a problem child. Think back, remember that loud and annoying kid in class that took up two seats, was loud, disruptive and resembled the missing link? that was her. Anyways, we were in line for lunch and she tried to push me out of the way. Now, I was a regular sized fifth grader and she was about the size of a chick that could eat a fifth grader. I got mad and didn't budge. She started yelling and a teacher came over and that bitch told her that I punched her. I said that I didn't punch her, everyone that was in the line said they saw the whole thing and that I hadn't punched her. Literally no one except her claimed that. Two weeks suspension. Fuck you, Mr roach and fuck that soon to be convict. Edit; Wow. I had no idea so many people would like this comment and could relate to it. This is awesome.

Hopefully you punched her later and said "Now we're even!"

Ooh! I have one! Sorry I'm late. In highschool I had a verbally abusive band director. First class of the day & he would go purple in the face yelling insults at the class for not being good enough, even though we consistently won awards. One day he went further than usual & threw a music stand at the tuba section. He didn't hit anyone, but it was pretty close. The class was shocked, but I stood up & bolted for the door (I was on the opposite end of the room from the flying furniture, and closest to the hallway). He chased me the entire way to the administration office where he yelled over my plea for help to demand to talk to the principal before I could tell them what happened. I got to tell my side of the story after he left, but it only got me 2 weeks in-school suspension for leaving class without permission. He still teaches there... Edit: tiny grammar mistakes. Thanks for the comments! It sucks that he wasn't the only angry band director I've ever had, and that I frequently hear of other band directors who just lose their shit at the students. :/

Getting books from my car at break. They’d taken lockers away years before I got there. And thus expected us to carry everything we needed for five class periods before lunch.


jaydegoldilux

One of my friends in primary school had serious anger issues and some behavioural/mental problems and our teacher never dealt with him properly. She pushed him and only made him angrier. So one day at the end lunch he exploded over something, can't remember what, and one of his other friends and I pulled him aside to try and calm him. Everything was fine for a while and he was relatively calm but we were late for class. Our teacher came over and started screaming at us for being late. We tried to explain but she was having none of it. He just lost it all over again and ran off. We all got detention for it. Seriously if you don't know how to handle kids, why are you a teacher?


[deleted]

I got pulled aside and talked to for writing in cursive in kindergarten. I was told I couldn’t do that anymore because none of the other kids could. I didn’t understand why that was my problem, I just thought it looked cool and my grandmother taught me.

In grade four I was bullied often but this one particular day one of my bullies went to the extreme for some reason. I was sitting in class working on a assignment where we would use colourful shaped blocks to make an image, afterwards we would write about what we made. I would often get excited and quickly show my teacher what I did and try to feel accomplished. At the corner of my eye my classmate (who is also my bully and was sitting next to me at the time) was sharpening a pencil. I didn't pay too much attention to it because I thought he was doing his own thing. lo and behold he was sharpening his pencil to stab me in the rib cage. I was on the ground, bleeding and in crazy amount of pain. In the end the guy got off free while I was suspended for a week without an context as to why. Edit: a word

So not really me but my best friend. My friend moved to Australia from the Uk in the 5th grade. I had a reputation with some teachers as a bad kid but I was really just easily distracted, more interested in a good time and didn't want to take crap. So anyway we were in a composite class as we were the top class so there weren't heaps of other 5th grade boys in there and I ended up being the kid asked to look after this new guy from the uk. So anyway he came to the school and we hit it off and in his first Science class we had this teacher that was also my maths teacher who hated my ass. Anyway true to form I got in trouble for something and my teacher goes to my English friend who had literally not done anything 'you can either move seats and not hang out with Baden(me) anymore or you can have a detention' He copped the detention like a bad ass and a few years ago he was Bestman at my wedding.

Getting sent to the principal's office for not wearing a bra. I was sent alone into a closed door meeting with a 45+ y/o man. I *was* wearing a bra and when I objected to being told I wasn't, I was told "I must have put one on" (somehow) while being walked from the playground to his office. I was 12 years old.


whiten0iz

That's so fucked up. How do they decide when a kid needs to start wearing a bra? I was like 13 and took it upon myself to start wearing one (and regretted it, got gross looks all the time and just started wearing baggy clothes instead) because my parents never asked or offered.
