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.

I was reading before I started school, got in trouble in 2nd grade for reading a 6th grade level book. Got sent to the office. Mom got called. She told them from now on I'd get my books at the public library. And there I got a waiver of the usual limit for kids my age.

I can't believe there are teachers that punish children for learning! I was reading adult books before the end of primary school and my teacher in year 8 praised me on the book I selected for a book report because of its mature themes.

We read Jane Eyre in Yr 7...but I'd read it when I was 10. Good Times.

I got made fun of so badly (just last year) for reading great expectations by Charles dickens. I reckon it’s because the people who bullied me about it were bad readers and were jealous, but still no reason to make fun of me.

There was a kid in my school that went through this phase. It was funny to begin with but it didn't take long for it to get really annoying. It was the maths teacher that cracked first, she threw chalk at him and he had detention everyday for a week.

Improper English and a double negative, so that makes sense. Well, not the yelling, but the correction certainly.

This reminds me of when we read Romeo and Juliet in class, so for the rest of the year we would quote things like 'I bite my thumb at you sir'. The teachers considered it a good thing though, because at least we heard and understood what the words meant.

The teacher was probably of the genteel persuation so disapproves of Dickens in principle.

Oh, I believe it. It's just like how the popular girls in my class kept interrupting French class by singing "La Mer" at the top of their lungs. God, I really hate that song now.

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.

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
