They told us that some memories from their past made them want to hear about other redditors' experiences as well. "I just remembered some of the crazy stuff I did in high school," they said.

u/DarkPonyAssassin told Bored Panda about some of the 'crazy' things they did back in school. "I would just get up and leave classes whenever I felt like it. My science project blew up. Snorted pixie sticks. Rolled dice in class. Fighting," they listed a few of them.

They said that they'd been to the principal's office several times. "Eventually, I just stopped caring. I was nervous the first few times I went, but after however many times, I didn't care."

30 Teachers Reveal The Wildest Reasons They’ve Sent A Student To The Principal’s Office I’m not a teacher but am a school psych. I don’t send kids to the office, but some of my teammates sure have… some highlights.

Had a kid hop onto the counter the onto the big whiteboard case, and straight into the drop ceiling. He climbed around up there yelling and screaming, knocking down ceiling tiles, before we finally coaxed him down.

One girl took a class chair and shattered a window in a classroom’s back office. On another day, this same girl gave the assistant principal and me a watercolor paint shower. I was lucky… I was standing just behind the AP and only got a few splatters on my jacket while she ended up getting the full blast.

I lied… I guess I have sent a few kids to the office… once… and all at once. It was last year, and I pull into the parking lot of the junior high school I work at. I get a text and pull up my iPad to reply when I realize something is happening in my peripheral vision. I look up to see five students surrounding one other student who is on the ground getting the s**t beat out of him. I’m an ex hockey player. I liked scrapping when I was a middle and high schooler. I have a very high standard for what I even consider a proper fight. This was a one sided gang beat down.

I go flying out of my rig, and charge up to them. “OY!!!” I shout in a kid’s face, startling him. He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a mask, so I could only see his eyes, which were wide with shock. Glad I had that effect, as I was woefully outnumbered, I just kept shouting like a drill instructor… “STAND UP!! GET IN LINE!! MOVE!!” Having asserted moral authority, I quite literally marched this line of kids to the office. The victim of that assault was bruised but otherwise okay. I’m kinda glad it was me who came across it and not the majority of my peers. I’m a relatively tall guy in good shape. I can be intimidating if I need to be, and in that situation, I needed to be.

Meanwhile, we were curious to get the OP's take on teaching, discipline, and respect in school. According to them, some of the main signs of a good educator include empathy and knowledge of their subject.

Not only is a great teacher someone who listens to what their students are saying, instead of ignoring them, but they also take the time to continue studying their subject. It's all about good communication and understanding that just because that someone's already become a teacher, their educational journey hasn't ended.

However, not every student is open and willing to accept their teachers' rules.

30 Teachers Reveal The Wildest Reasons They’ve Sent A Student To The Principal’s Office My Dad gets offered like 16 times the pay to be a professor in Pretoria...so we move to South Africa and he has this student who is just scoring like 8 out of a hundred, then 11, and then 7. At the end of class one day he calls this young lady by name and asks her to stay behind for a second. She walks forward and she is stunningly beautiful. My older sister explained she looked exactly like this Vendela Thommessen who was a sports illustrated swimsuit model....my Sis was with him that day, but behind the screen his projector was being displayed on and peeking around listening. My Dad says "I am afraid this work is a bit too advanced for you. I seen that you have taken the prerequisites and received A's in the classes...is something affecting your performance"?

Now this girl has no idea my sister is behind the screen and this beauty says to my Dad "Well, I earned those A's the same way I am going to get an A in your class...on my knees". My Dad walked her to the Dean's office and when he returned my sister was crying and told my Dad he was a jerk for not praying with her. My sister was 10...

30 Teachers Reveal The Wildest Reasons They’ve Sent A Student To The Principal’s Office Not a teacher, but in middle school they pulled my kid into the office for "running a slime racket" - she was selling baggies of slime for kids lunch money. Later that year she was pulled into the office and told to stop "illicit sales on school grounds" - turns out she was selling pencils for a quarter and pens for fifty cents, which was half the price you could buy them from the school directly lol.

Same kid, different middle school the next year, got pulled into the office on suspicion of vaping. She wasn't. They held her for three hours in the office with the principal and SRO trying to coerce her into confessing. She told them to search her bag and locker - *they refused* - she started to get pissed off and winged her backpack toward the SRO and said, "Just f*****g search it so I can go back to class." They called me for cussing at the SRO. I absolutely tore into the principal for keeping her out of class half the day and then having the audacity to only call me because she used the f-word and was "being disrespectful" when they could have just looked through her stuff and been done with it.

We also asked u/DarkPonyAssassin for their opinion on what teachers might do to ensure that their students respect them and the rules they set out.

"Tell the school board to get out of the way so that they can enforce their rules," they explained that there's sometimes friction between what the board and the teachers want.

"They also need to follow through with what they say that they will do," u/DarkPonyAssassin pointed out that teachers have to show everyone around them that they mean what they say. They need to be seen as consistent, trustworthy, and prove that the promises that they make aren't something that they'll go back on. That should help set healthy boundaries for what students know they can and cannot do.

30 Teachers Reveal The Wildest Reasons They’ve Sent A Student To The Principal’s Office I had a student that cried every time I would try to encourage her to answer questions in front of the class. I stopped calling her to the board as I feared maybe she was facing pretty bad trauma or anxiety. So I let her do individual work. One day I find out she, during class time, kept sending inappropriate insulting texts around the class about some classmates and myself. When I emailed her mother about this, she went as far as to use her mother’s account to send me an email back saying “just leave her alone”. The next morning she made a remark that I was very inconsiderate for giving out homework when some students work, I was surprised seeing she suddenly spoke loud and interrupted me during class. She attempted to name other students that work after school just like her, but one of them, Aiden, stood up saying “So? I still get my homework done, except I don’t waste time gossiping about others and using crocodile tears when it comes to showing my understanding in class”. She was shocked, stood there for a little bit, and started crying, which clearly felt forced. I sent her straight to the office, from there called her mother to verify who sent the email, and had her come over for a long discussing.

One of the best qualities that any educator—or person for that matter—can have is adaptability. Life rarely goes the way we planned. So what you need is the ability to react to weird and surprising situations in a way that shows you’re in charge. You need to be prepared for everything by being quick to react.

Say your student sneaks in a gas cooker and pork chops to school. While everyone else is doing a double-take and standing around with their jaws dropped, you’re already handling the situation: talking to the student, calling their mom, trying to figure out what the heck just happened.

Being sent to the principal’s office isn’t always a bad thing. It’s a disciplinary tool, and it all depends on how educators use it. For example, it can be a way to get to the bottom of what’s going on in the student’s life. There is absolutely no substitute for good communication, and being sent to the office can be just the opportunity that the student and the staff need to get on the same page.

Things went normally for about 10 minutes, until another student shot a rubber band. It didn’t hit anyone but Shawn decided to take justice into his own hands. In the middle of me giving instruction he gets up, walks slowly across the room (I assumed for a tissue) and smacks the other student across the face.

Teachers aren’t mind-readers (at least, we don’t think that they are!), so if you have issues at school or at home, you have to reach out to them and ask for their advice. One of the best ways that you can tell if you’re dealing with a great teacher or someone who’s just in it for the paycheck and clocks out immediately after the school bell is to look at how they treat everyone in the class. Do they go the extra mile? Do they see the students as actual human beings? Do they actually care about your education or just that you get good grades so they look better?

Some of the best teachers are the most empathetic. If you can empathize with your students, you can find ways to motivate them far more than just by being a specialist in your specific field. Teaching well requires high emotional intelligence, not just a good memory for facts and decent oratory skills. There’s a need for collaboration between students and educators, at least on some level.

30 Teachers Reveal The Wildest Reasons They’ve Sent A Student To The Principal’s Office It was the second day of my first year teaching (5th grade). A student refused to do a writing assignment because she said she forgot how to write in English. When I asked what language she knew how to write in, she said, "I only know Japanese."

Listen... it is plausible a student at my school would be proficient in writing in Japanese. HOWEVER, I had already seen her files. I knew her dad was in a Mexican street gang and that she was being raised by her blind grandmother who was a native Spanish speaker. The likelihood that she knew was fluent in Japanese was a bit far-fetched.

She eventually told me she also speaks Japanese, so I called her out by asking her to say, "I don't want to come to school today" using her newfound foreign language skills. This 11 year old LITERALLY responded with, "Ching chang chong!"

I sent her to the dean's office for refusing to work and man, OH MAN, did it work out perfectly. She sat down with the dean who tried to pry more information from this student...

Only for the dean to explain to the student she herself is half Japanese and attended school in Japan. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when the student heard the dean speaking ACTUAL Japanese to test the students' knowledge of the language.

The student eventually said she only knew a few Japanese words, which devolved into her admitting the entire story was a lie to get out of doing an assignment. On the second day of school. And lies like this went on allllllllllll year long. So many hilarious, yet equally sad, stories from that year that I still laugh at eight years later....

However, educators need the proper support as well. They need to be paid a stable wage and receive proper training to constantly improve their qualifications. Support from their fellow teachers and students can help keep them motivated to keep on trying their best. Meanwhile, everyone has a responsibility to take care of their health, eat well, and get enough sleep so they’re not burned out and exhausted.

My moms been a teacher for many years. Apparently one of her middle school students had been coming in day after day just absolutely filthy wearing the same dirty clothes. She notifies the office and they talk to her and the parents. Apparently the family has been living in an RV with no running water (I’m not sure if this is due to homelessness or what-we’re in a rural area and it’s not uncommon to see people living this way). The school offers to let the girl shower at school and they even have a special “shop” of sorts (free to the students of course) for clothing and things like hygiene items. The only issue is the school needs the parents permission to let her shower there at the school and the parents won’t grant it. I’m not sure why. And yes CPS has been notified several times, but they must be deeming the family’s dwelling habitable in some way, though I’m not sure how the parents are getting away with such horrid obvious neglect. My mom says the kid is just so sweet but she smells bad and looks even worse and she’s afraid the bullying will start soon :/ the area I live in is absurdly poor and very rural so sadly such instances are not unusual.

My wife is a high school teacher. She was teaching a lower-level math class, and she had a student who was probably too smart for the class, but too lazy (or too "cool") to take a harder class.

One day, out of boredom, he was throwing his pencil up at the ceiling. On the third or fourth try, it got stuck. So he threw a pen to try to dislodge it. Didn't work. He then threw his notebook at it. Missed again.

So he stands up on the desk-chair-combo, takes his notebook, jumps in the air, and swats at the pencil. Pencil fell to the floor.

He lands on the desk, which (if you remember those desk-chair-combos) is not supported by the chair's center of balance. He falls off the desk and lands on the floor.

Oh wait, did I mention the lock box on his ankle? I think I left that out. The lock box pops off and lands on the floor.

He looks for a second, says "OMG Mrs Hymie0 I have to go to the office the police are coming to get me," grabs the lock box, and sprints out the classroom door.

30 Teachers Reveal The Wildest Reasons They’ve Sent A Student To The Principal’s Office Not a teacher, but a former classmate decided it was a brilliant idea to stay inside the classroom during a break, open the teacher's laptop, pull out every single key and put them all inside a transparent bag next to the trash can

Not a teacher but witnessed this happen. Kid had a temper with the teacher in our woodshop class. Well this kid must have gotten really mad so he walked up to the teacher and threw a big piece of wood (about the size of a toilet paper roll) right at his desk. That's the first time I ever heard a teacher use the f, a , and d word in one sentence ever. Dude who threw wood got a 3 week suspension and turns out he got kicked out from the class.

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

And this is where I counter the whole " schools are indoctrinating our kids" thing. Teachers are too busy trying to teach math or chemistry or where to put a comma while kids are cooking pork chops, gambling, or making poop balls.

I've been saying this for years. It is why I decided to pull my kids from public schools and homeschool them.

I got one! In Chemistry class, 2 kids (muppets) decided it would be a good idea to put copper sulfate crystals (toxic if you eat too much) put it in their coffee, and drank it. Both went home ill about an hour later. Both still alive, both still idiots. Same class, different kid, but while the teacher was talking, whipped out his flask and poured some tea into that lid-mug thing on top. Dude looked like he was having a blooming picnic in the lesson! Teacher was not amused.

I got kicked off the school bus a bunch of times when I was little, mostly for jumping over seats and once for peeing on the floor (a friend dared me to). Also for putting an orange in the exhaust pipe, but that actually wasn't me. The main one I remember from school was in 5th grade when I mooned the class, and my punishment was to do multiplication tables during recess for over a month. Lots of times getting in trouble at lunch, too, doing things like throwing chewed up crackers at the ceiling to get them to stick, or slamming the ketchup and mustard containers down (while squeezing them) to see how high up they would spray. So many times I had to stay inside after lunch (during recess) and write the same thing over and over (like Bart Simpson does in the beginning credits). Taking exercise (recess) away from a hyperactive ADHD kid is *not* the best way to solve the problem 👎

This is my husband's story. Grade eight math class, kid decided to light his desk on fire. He lit some paper on fire, put it in his desk and sat there as the desk went up in flames. This kid was just sitting there normally while the teacher freaked out and ran out of the class yelling "I'm done with this". Someone else came back to put the fire out. Teacher apparently had a nervous breakdown and never came back. Not sure if she stopped teaching or went to another school.

So just last week my kid got sent to the principal for the very first time, 6yo 1st grader. At recess they were playing soccer and a kid kicked the soccer ball over the wall by accident, ending the game. The whole group of kids playing chased this kid. My son caught him, grabbed him and kicked at him. The kid punched my kid to try to get free. Aide breaks it up. I was so upset because it quite sounds like my kid was acting like a bully in this situation. The principal told me how the kids were both really honest, both cried, and neither were hurt. This is extremely atypical behavior for my son. He is usually the sweetest, most caring, most empathic kid. I could feel a bit of this boys will be boys mentality from the school. His punishment was to sit out of recess the next day. At home we talked a lot about it, how he felt, how he can express how he feels without hurting anyone, how the other kid must have felt, how he would feel if he was the one who accidentally kicked the ball.

At home he lost his Switch and YouTube (his favorite things) through the weekend (3 days total). Comments from the school: “These things happen, especially with boys.” “There was a mob mentality and my son just happened to be the one to catch the kid.” I don’t know. Any parenting advice out there? Things I should talk to my kid about? With this being so incredibly not typical behavior for him should I calm down a bit or do I need to really worry about him bullying others. I would hate to allow that to develop. I’m very open to honest feedback, just please no name calling my kiddo.

As a student the ones that stood out were: a guy bringing a scorpion to school but claimed it's safe because he removed the stinger and another guy cut the cable to the PA system so we couldn't hear the announcements...no one noticed for a while (the buildings of the school were separate not one whole building).

Wow! And I thought some kids in my high school were badasses. As an innocent witness I watched about 6 jocks physically pick up a volkswagen beetle and move it to a spot between the hedges. It was a driver's ed car that was parked at the main front entrance of the school... mid 80s.

Former high school admin, got called to a class with security officer. A student with autism and some moderate cognitive issues had apparently been watching anime all weekend. The 14 year old was standing on top of a work table wielding one of those thick yard sticks like a samurai sword and yelling at everyone in "Japanese." Anyone who got close to him got whacked with the stick. I distracted him (he HATED me) while security disarmed him and pulled him down off the table. We ended up restraining him on the lawn in front of his classroom until he chilled out. Another severely handicapped special education student who discovered masturbation during summer school and would practice frequently and publicly. Bit a teacher when student was encouraged to reclothe himself. We put his belt on backwards and got him a one-on-one aide. Bless that dear man's soul.

Got word that a group of friends was day drinking clear alcohol out of their water bottles. Walked in to their class, picked up the water bottle and smelled the contents, and then asked the young lady to gather things and meet me in the hallway. Colleagues picked up the rest of the group at the same time, can't text your way out of that one.

I had a student try the seven up challenge in class last year. Just as the bell rang to start class, she whipped out a liter of seven up, and before I could stop her, chugged the whole thing. Of course it all came right back up a second later. At least she made it to the trash can. She later admitted to me that it was one of the dumbest stunts she had ever tried.
