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.
