So when we were learning about the holocaust, we split into groups with fill in the blank sheets where we had to listen to videos for the sentences on the sheet and fill in the missing words.

On one of the videos, we kept having to rewind it because the sentence was a list of items, and the guy in the video honest to god mumbles the last word so quickly we cannot hear what he said.

After rewinding for the fifth time we started laughing because all we needed was the final answer and the guy says complete jibberish.

The teacher thought we were laughing about the subject matter and would not listen to what we were trying to explain to her. We sat in the hallway the rest of the period.

That was 15 years ago and I still don't know what the final word was.

I have always been one to write the truth and not leave out the horrible details of history when it came to school essays. In an essay about the Holocaust, I wrote that the bread that was made for the people in the camps was made out of dirt, saw dust, and ashes from the people that were cremated (which is the truth, even cited my sources from respectable historians) and my teacher marked me down for it saying they didn't use ashes and I shouldn't lie like that. I took my paper to the principle with print outs of all my sources and he made her change my grade.

I got in trouble for wearing a light sweater. Dress code said sweaters were exempt from being tucked in. They said it wasn’t thick enough to be a sweater and ended up changing the rules because of me.

A friend of mine got sent to the principal’s office for tossing a paper ball in the trash. It’s not like he tossed it over anyone either, and he made the shot. Luckily the principal realized how dumb the teacher was.

I wore a jumper basically every day during the 'winter' terms when I started high school, so I could avoid tucking in my button up shirt. I was so happy when they brought in long sleeved polo shirts, because these didn't need to be tucked in. Mind you, I got cold so easily, chances are I would have wanted to wear the jumper for much of that time anyway.

I am deaf in one ear and have major ADHD. It has got me in trouble more times then I can count in school.


Biggest one I can remember was Grade 11 Advanced English, I was originally seated in the back corner of the class.  After a few weeks the teacher got pissed and made me sit in the very front of class.  Actually within a few feet of her desk as she thought I was ignoring her on purpose.


So I moved there and just worked my butt off all year.


We got assigned a novel and I read the entire book that night as I could devour books in hours.  


Next day I asked the teacher for all the questions for the entire book as I had finished the book.  She was furious as apparently she had explained to everyone we would do a chapter a week and I just simply didn't hear her.


So I had to wait an entire semester to finish the book.


It was a really horrible time for me.

That happened to me all the time. I would get all my books completely read through within a few weeks of the beginning of the semester. And then, of course, I was bored (and often acted out). Only two of my teachers in 11 years were smart enough to just get me more to read.

Not doing one small assignment when they had already loaded me down with work.

My grandpa was hospitalized during his battle with cancer (he lived to die of old age many years later). I had been at the hospital until it had become necessary to take me home so I could go to bed. As it is, I didn't get in bed until 10:30; I had managed to get the rest of it done while at the school, between one free moment and the next. The majority of it was for this subject.

I just missed this one. I had no inclination to stay up until 11:00 and finish it. I thought they'd understand, but this incident was when I realized I had "Officer Kirk" for an assistant principal. He gleefully paddled me. I managed to backhandedly insult him on the way out. I survived him.

(5th grade maybe) Needing to use the bathroom. Teacher absolutely refused to let me go. I'm sitting there squirming and shaking and in pain because I can't hold it. Finally said to hell with it and ran out the room because I wasn't going to p**s myself. After class she gave me a scolding about not listening and a bunch of other BS. Probably wanted to give me a write up or something but knew my parents would lay into her for denying a bathroom break.

5th grade. Teacher hated me because I questioned her so much. I literally had gotten 100% on every single test we took so far that year. Realistically I should have been moved ahead a grade. Anyway, three missing assignments in a week was considered a detention. She had a requirement that every single test had to be signed by a parent regardless of the score. I had forgotten to do this one day, so I had three tests that were all 100%, unsigned, and she gave me a detention for it.

In third grade I was paddled for drawing 3 'w's (with rounded bottoms) and showing them to a few folks saying they were butts.

In 4th grade we were having a lesson that introduced the concept of bartering. I turned to a girl and asked something along the lines of what would people do back in the day when they needed personal items like condoms. I'm not sure of her response, if she even gave one. She did, however, go home and tell her parents. The next day I was questioned on saying condoms and was once again paddled.

I received an amazing education from that school system overall but, jesus christ, growing up in the bible belt(southern, USA) is f*****g stupid sometimes.

Coughing. In seventh grade we went through a stretch where we weren’t allowed to make any noise in the cafeteria after we were done eating. If you sneezed, coughed, or sniffed you were sick and shouldn’t be there at all. I coughed and was given a choice of swats or detention. Took the detention because the swats would’ve come from the gym teacher. F**k you Mr. Cross.

One time my friend bought me a “tig ol bitties” shirt and I wore it. It was baggy and not revealing but because of the words they made me take it off. I told the principal I didn’t have another shirt except the spaghetti strap I had on underneath. He told me that was fine lol. So, they opted for me to wear a spaghetti strap that my tits were practically hanging out of, over a shirt with a silly phrase.

I once got in trouble for climbing onto the roof of the girls dorms. I was into parkour as a kid and thought it looked like a good climb. This all was legitimate reasons for me to get into trouble. however the teacher who caught me knew my mom (who was also a teacher at the school) and knew she wouldn't really care about me climbing about after school, even onto the girls dorms. So she told my mom that I tried to bribe her to get out of trouble which I never did. My mom however called her out on her BS saying that she knows I love money too much to bribe someone.

I got a referral (not good) for not doing my homework in english, so I placed it into my one folder. I went to my next class, history.

I had the homework for that class, but it wasn't very good.. anyway, teacher comes around to inspect all of our work, and I realize my referral is in plain view. I was embarrassed, so I slid it behind some other papers so no one would see.

My teacher saw me hide it, got mad, and gave me another referral for attempting to hide important documents from her.

I once got detention for going to the bathroom. For the first half of the year, my teacher just let us leave, but the day I was out, she apparently gave everyone passes they had to use.

I didn't have them, so when she asked me for one, and I said I didn't have them, she told me I couldn't go. I went anyway, and when I came back, she gave me those passes and 20 minute detention. I cleaned up her room after school.

A bunch of idiots went into the bathroom at the same time and locked the door behind them during the ACT test break (Arizona requires all juniors to take the ACT). They were suspected of cheating on the test. I was also accused of cheating. I was not in that bathroom.

It was actually a surprise to most of the teachers that I was held there. My mom threatened to sue the school over it. I graduated in my junior year and my mom pulled my sister out of that school.

Fun fact: "Saying God's name in vain" originally wasn't referring to saying "Oh my god" or similar things, but using your faith to justify hate, bigotry and intolerance. This is, of course, overlooked by today's conservative "Christians".

Had a teacher who really didn't like me (fair, I was always late with my homework). Well, in class one day and hand in the stuff for that day but not the stuff I'd gotten an extension for (extension was due that day). Well class goes as usual, but the next day I get told to come in early to see my house master, usually a sign you're in deep s**t, not the sort of thing not having your homework does.

So I turn up at like 7am to see her (hated me too - no real reason) and the original teacher is in the office with her. He says I skipped class that day, I say no I didn't I've got the notes and the handouts to prove it. His argument was "Well I'd decided that if you didn't hand in the work that day I'd put you on report, and I didn't so you mustn't have been there". After 10 minutes of back and forth, showing the notes etc. they finally concede that *maybe* there was a mistake (he'd been so surprised by me handing something in that he forgot) and I wasn't going to get detention for it.

Then have to engage in a 10 minute argument that my house master wants me spending every free period in the library supervised by the librarian studying. I have to point out that classes that can get pretty loud there and distracting, and I have access to the "cadet room" as a senior cadet (cadets is kind of like scouts but with a military spin, the room was where we had meetings and kept all the uniforms etc.) and the room was silent and easy to focus in. Plus it's unfair to punish me for something that never happened.



So basically I had to get up at 5am to get to school to get scolded for something I didn't do, which even when they conceded it may not have happened they still tried to punish me.

Kid in my class (mixed first grade and second, I was first he was second) told me to stomp as hard as I could on his foot, and he wouldn’t feel a thing. We were standing in line to go out for recess. So I (being a easily influenced 7 or so year old) did.

And then the teacher noticed and thought I was bullying the kid. So I got sent to the principals office and even though I tried to explain the circumstances, I still had to stay in from recess and write something (I don’t remember what) to the kid and the principal or teacher or smthn.
