Once on the bus some kid was about to hit my little brother. So I shoved the little bastard. And I got in trouble for hurting a younger kid.

I had been living overseas with my family for a year and returned to my original school ¾ of the year in. On my first day back, I got into trouble for not doing the homework assignment; when I politely told the teacher that this was my first day back, she didn't believe me, and asked me if I was "up to my old tricks again" to which I truthfully replied "No." I was sent to the headmaster's office, very upset... That stupid teacher hadn't even noticed that I hadn't been around for the last 9 months of the school year.

I once told my class that the world was not a perfect sphere but more like this-and then squished a dodgeball a little to show the bulge in the center. The next day a student came back and yelled at me that the world wasn't flat and that she and her mom had "looked it up." A few years later she was online talking about how she proved to her teacher that the world wasn't flat. She is why I have trust issues with posts like this.

My mouth was bleeding in so much that I put a paper towel in my mouth. I got put in detention because I wouldn't spit it out. (I had just come back from the dentist)

Every day in 5th grade we got 15 min out of an hour to do some prework on our homework, so we could ask questions if we didn't understand it. At some point in these 15 min my teacher came over to check how my homework was coming along, because I never asked questions. He saw I was already miles ahead of my fellow classmates (about 3 chapters in math ahead). He took my homework I already finished and litterally teared it apart and said I had to start over and to get to the point every classmate was and not work upfront. The day after this incident our homework we had to do was checked and I got detention because my homework wasn't done on time (I couldn't finish 25 chapters in 1 night).

When i was being bullied throughout first grade i got expelled because i was being bullied (i did nothing at all). For years i didnt tell my parents and for that time they believed that i was the bully. When it all came spilling out my parents were furious but it was too late.

I got in trouble for drawing on my homework all the time throughout middle school. One particularly terrible teacher marked points off of my test because of a stupid little doodle in the margin. I’m a graphic designer now, so I get to doodle all the time and get paid for it 👈😎👈

One time my teacher in 2nd grade said there was no such thing as princesses and princes I HOPE she was talking about the Disney kind but I raised my hand and gave her the best explanation of a monarchy that I knew how as a 6 year old and I got in trouble for explaining that YEA princesses exist tf

I was in Prep, so 5 or 6 years old! Was sent to the Principal's office because a friend gave me 20 cents (Australian $$) and I bought a superdooper! Then I'm grade 1, the teacher gave us 5 seconds to sit down and the boy next to me was being silly so I grabbed his pants to make him sit down (I didn't want to stay in for little lunch!!) and ended up pulling his pants and jocks down. Everyone saw his private parts!! Then in year 7, a boy kept pulling my hair. I turned and told him if he did it again I'd punch him. He did... turns out it was the boy behind him!

I had a sub rip my iPad out of my hands and yell at me for not reading the board and playing games but I was playing games because I had already finished the assignment

in primary school, I was pulled from break because I drew birds 'my own way' instead of drawing them as an m shape. The assistant teacher stuck up for me, saying it was good I was creative, but the teacher said I should 'follow orders' better. I was 6.

I can't get over the narrow NARROW boxes some teachers live in! Many of these examples should be celebrated for their creativity, innovation, advanced knowledge, moral courage . . . (you get my drift)

I got kicked off the bus in kindergarten because I gave the bus driver the finger. I didn't know what it meant, some of the bigger kids pushed my fingers into position and told me to go show the driver. How was I supposed to know what I was doing??

Something happened, it was bad but I don't remember what it was, but I'm sure it still affects me to this day.

Once I got in trouble because this kid flicked a booger on me and it was the last straw of teasing so I yelled at him and I'm the one who got in trouble.Thats one of many because I was quiet and kept to myself I didn't get in trouble unless it was something stupid. Like refusing to say the "under god" part of the pledge of allegiance. Or missing play rehearsal because I was in a car accident. Being bullied, being blamed for the whole thing and being accused of lying about the anxiety attack I was having. Oh yes those were good times.

The one and only time I ever skipped school was because I found an injured duck by the side of the road. Actually, I wasn't sure what it was at first, passed it, and went on to school. Went to first period, but couldn't stop thinking about the pile of feathers I had seen. I cut class and went back to check. Found that it was still alive, bloodied up like it had been hit by a car, and 100% wild. Wrapped it up in my coat because it was cold and there was snow everywhere, brought it home and smuggled in into our basement. I then promptly called my mom and told her what happened. She understood and let me keep the duck for a few weeks until it got better. The school also gave students about 3 tardies before it became an issue, and since I hadn't used any yet, it didn't really matter much anyway.

In third grade I got in trouble for having done an essay on JFK. The teacher couldn't believe that I wrote it myself, and made me go to the office and call my mother. Well mom came up there and raised hell for having to call her.

I got pulled into principals office in grade 9 and he started swearing and screaming at me that I can't just show up whenever i feel like it. I'd had mono and missed 6 months of school from being so sick. I went to the ocasional class when I felt okay enough

I actually have a few but this one was a bit of a funny one. So in high school I was a bit of a slacker in most subjects but not in English class. I was ahead on our reading assignment so during class I brought in a different book and read that instead. Well my teacher wasn't happy about it and took my book from me until after class. Well this happened three days in a row however....on the third day I happened to stop by the library and get the same book so when she took mine....I pulled out the libraries copy. Yup you guessed it, got sent to the principals office. She didn't even give me back my book to read while I waited in the office!

I got a three day suspension, in fifth grade, when I snapped on the local bully, after he'd spent a week tormenting me. Kicked his books out of his hands (was aiming between the goalposts, but he jumped back), kicked him in the stomach (got him good with that one though, again, missed my target), was setting up to kick him in the ribs while he was on hands and knees heaving for air, when a teacher pulled me away. Bully got a week's suspension, I got three days.

I was in 6th grade (12 years old) wearing a t-shirt that had a pic of the band members of Guns N Roses on it, and Slash was wearing a t-shirt that said Sh!t Happens. But the "I" was covered by his necklace so the full word wasn't there. I got sent to the principal for wearing a shirt w obscene language on it. My principal was 5'10" at the most, my Dad is 6'6". Guess who didn't get in trouble at home, had her suspension retracted, and who was also allowed to wear a t-shirt that had Bart Simpson on it saying, War is Hell, the next day without getting in trouble lol

In third grade in gym I threw a dodgeball at a kid who was already out because I didn't see him get hit. Teacher got overly mad at me and forced me to sit out. I tried explaining I didn't see him get hit. Teacher kept saying "you're lying" over and over until I quit

I blew bubbles in my milk at snack time.

I've always had really bad anxiety and once in 7th grade my math teacher called on me to get up and solve a problem at the chalkboard, well I looked around at the entire class staring at me and had a panic attack, the teacher sent me to the principals office for "faking a fit to get out of classwork"

My shirt wasn't tucked in my pants... not to bad when you think that on the 3rd offense, you're suspended. That high school was shît and I'm telling everyone not to send their kids there.

When I was about 6 or 7 I got in trouble for being too good at reading - I was reading The Hobbit by myself at home and didn't see why I had to 'read' glorified picture books at school. I would perhaps have benefitted from learning about being tactful when criticising!
