At one point or another, most of us have probably gotten ourselves into trouble at school once or twice. Getting sent to the principal’s office, having your parents come down to school to talk with the teachers, etc. is not necessarily the best experience when you’re a kid. In fact, it is typically quite terrifying for most. But you do have to do something extra silly or irresponsible to even get to that point most of the time. 

These people took to Twitter to share their stories of getting into trouble at school… for ridiculously silly reasons. From sparing lab frogs’ lives to getting detention for chilling at detention without having been sent to detention, here are 39 scenarios where people got into trouble at school because of something very silly. Scroll down to see the whole list and consider upvoting the entries that crack you up the most!

For a lot of kids, school would eventually become kind of boring and repetitive. So it is no wonder why they constantly come up with ways to annoy each other or their teachers. Small acts of rebellion or silly stunts against the establishment that is school are not even necessarily bad as long as there is balance between acting up and being educated. 

There is always at least one teacher at school who will seemingly go out of their way to scold or punish students for doing barely anything. But that doesn’t only count for school. That could also be your family member or your boss. So in a way, school does somewhat prepare you for life and dealing with real people outside one's safe bubble.

All in all, school is a place where people get ready for some important aspects of their lives. But a part of the learning process - the rebellion, the occasional prank, should not be met with complete shutdown and resistance. Instead, teachers should focus on educating their students, not pointing fingers at them for obscure reasons and calling it a day.

some teachers shouldn't be fired they should be hauled out back and shot.

Teachers are awful. They love doing s**t like that. All it does is create a hatred for authority figures.

That's precisely how it should be handled. Kids shouldn't be expected to put homework over emotional wellbeing.

had a teacher once ridicule me in front of the class because i was off sick quite a lot (but still keeping up with the work), and she said 'is there something wrong with you?' and i was like 'yeah, i dont sleep, i feel sick all the time and i have chronic pain' she said 'if you didn't sleep, you'd not be able to function' 'yeah...that's why i'm off sick...'

This reminds me of a maths teacher I had when I was in school. When I was 14 my biological mother died. Because of this I missed a few days of school. When I went to turn in the missed assignments from that week, the teacher would not change my grade from the zero she had given me. I was already very emotional and burst into tears. She told me to stop being dramatic. She also said I had no reason to be upset since my mother had been abusive and I had lived the last 4 years with my father and step mom and I should be happy she died. She said all this in front of the class. Most of them had no idea since I am a very private person. I walked out of the class and went to the deputy head. My points were restored, but nothing happened to her. I now live near her eldest daughter and we have become good friends. Turns out her kids have not spoken to her in about 15 years. Apparently she treated them like rubbish as well. A horrid teacher can really scar a child.

I don't get why teachers do this. We all have different paces of working!

Kids don't realize that school don't legally have authority on them. Parents solely have. That school is not a prison, they are free to leave whenever they want, and that forcing anyone to stay somewhere against their will is unlawful imprisonment.

Is doing nothing in detention common in many places? Only time I was sent to detention (in France) was for skipping German class and they had us take a super difficult German test and convinced us it would count towards our grade. Then they revealed it was basically a university level test and that we couldn't have possibly completed it and it would never count.

WHY!? PUNISH THE IDIOT NOT THE VICTIM! If someone breaks into your house, and they shoot you, but you shoot him back, you are not gonna punish the victim! Schools just want "zero violence" which does not make sense.

Sure...I don't doubt that they could read but I'm pretty sure they don't kick kids out of preschool for being able to read. My son didn't get kicked out of his preschool for being able to read.

I would finish assignments early and do something else but my math teacher would make me follow along with the assignment anyway
