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.

I got in trouble for reading too many books. Literally banned from being inside reading during breaks. (Climbed the monkey bars and read up there instead.)

I would absolutely get pack at whoever punished you for that by wearing a pink sparkly dress, a unicorn headband, and fairy wings and saying “I LIKE GIRL BOOKS” all day long. I would love to see the look on that (I’m assuming teacher’s) face. Moral of the story is read and wear whatever the eff you want.

In fifth-grade summer school, the teacher took a biography of a black leader away from a white student saying it wasn't appropriate material. The student went over to the book cart and found an identical copy and kept reading. Stupid teacher.

Whaaaaaa? But then, I was a young nerd in training and got in trouble for reading only non-fiction and was told I had to read fiction. Science fiction it was! "Red Planet Mars" to the rescue!

I got detention because I told the class I had read eleven books since Christmas, It was then nearly the end of May. I was told Nobody reads that many books. So I sat and read through two books through one hour of detention. Teacher argued that I didn't read them properly, I just dropped both of them on her desk and told her to PROVE IT. I was 9 at the time, By the time I was 24, I was reading 4 and 5 books per day. About 200 - 500 pages of text each.

ugh that sucks. i had an english teacher who failed my essay on my own choice of book 4 times, simply because she didn't like the genre of the books i was writing about. first 2 were on Good Omens, which she made clear she hated because it was fantasy (she only liked classical or modern classical literature), and basically insinuated that i wouldn't pass writing about that book. So i went for Dorian Gray next, since I loved it, it was classic lit, but still had enough fantasy for me to be interested. failed on it twice as well. now i was never a cheater, i hated cheating, but i could not pass this essay and i was on my last attempt (i'd actually been given 3 extra chances, she knew i could write a good essay, but was just failing me because of her dislike of my books). so i went online, found an essay on sense and sensbility, rewrote the whole thing in my own words. passed. but with a much lower mark than the original paper had got (With the same marking scheme).

Aren't books for all genders and sexes? I don't think you can just make a book and stamp "FOR GIRLS ONLY!!!!!" on it.

What would that teacher do when a girl reads a book about Java/C++?

As a teacher I have specifically said to kids there is no gender for the books you can read. I mean, half the time you are assigned books to read where the main character is not the same gender as you, you still have to read them. You don't have to identify as a gender to understand the motives or actions of a character, you just have to read how it is written.

There is no such thing, unless it's about girls, but even then it would be a book about girls, not a girl book.

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
