"Y'all realize that most many of the teachers you had were basically just power tripping social rejects right? I think careers such as those of teachers, TSA employees, or prison guards just attract dysfunctional people who want to assert their authority on those who aren't in a position to do anything about it. Makes me very grateful for the good teachers I had back in the day, but also very weary of the school system in general. Take anything a teacher said to you that has had a negative effect on your self image and shove that shit down the sewer"

lol
it's funny you said that to bmel & i because we both want to teach

my senior year we had to stay an hour late for two weeks to make up time we lost due to snow days

i printed out fliers telling everyone to just walk out and the principle tried to get me arrested for "inciting a riot" and told me i wouldn't be able to go to college

i told him i didn't think he would do that and he backed down

he was a fucking pussy anyways

chatterbox reminded me of a story

when i was in 5th grade, our teacher would give us "good work" tickets when we were good students. whichever team got the most at the end of the month got extra recess. i convinced my classmate to make a bunch of photo copies for us, but she was a dumb blond and wrote our name on the tickets BEFORE copying them

naturally the teacher nailed us for cheating. i could have told the blond to re-copy the tickets before we turned them in, but i didn't want to explain to her why she was dumb

I never got in trouble AT school, but I got arrested a couple times in High School.

The only trouble I got in at school was when I skipped the entire month of January my senior year. Don't ask me why I thought I would actually get away with that shit.

from 6th to 10th grade, yes

I got in the most trouble in the 6th and 7th grade. Three suspensions for fighting, 13 detentions from one teacher alone (6th grade math), and a slew of visits to the principal's office. I probably didn't get in any more trouble in high school than most other kids, although I definitely lucked out on a few occasions. My 9th grade PE and 11th grade Auto Shop teacher both let suspendable offenses slide and those were just two things that I can think of off the top of my head.

I stirred the pot for other kids who were known as troublemakers, knowing they would take the blame.

12/9/2010 11:34:30 AM

got sent to principal in 1st grade for writing a note during lunch that said "FART. Pass it on." sent to principal's office for multiple things throughout school, far too many detentions to count.

got paddled every year from 4th to 7th grade, when it was finally outlawed. once for hitting a kid over the head with a chair. once for climbing in the ceilings. forget why for other times.

9th grade got multiple 'Saturday Schools' and finally suspended 2x . once for drug possession. also suspended from riding the bus. preferred to walk to school and get baked along the way, anyhow.

received exactly 1/2 credit for the entire year. had to go to summer school for 2 summers to make up and get caught up by 11th grade.

got suspended 2x in 12th grade. once for drugs. once for smoking. finally expelled in 12th grade for assaulting a teacher.

traveled the country. became homeless. robbed bums and sold counterfeit drugs to tourists on the streets of D.C.. slept in abandoned house with punk junkies in Georgetown.

went back to another H.S. for a second 12th grade. drove a motorcycle to school. cut class regularly, told security to fuck off as I rode off to the mall. smoked in the bathrooms. received multiple detentions and in-school suspensions. still didn't graduate because I failed PE and Economics. Who wants to show up for PE in 1st period, anyhow?

finally went to a community college and got an "Adult High School Diploma"

Post Script:

became homeless again, then joined Navy, then worked construction and dated alcoholic/crackhead chicks, went to jail a few times along the way, went to Wake Tech and got an Academic Scholarship to NCSU College of Engineering. now I'm an electrical engineer and build Class III medical devices.

so cheers to the haters who said I'd be dead by 23.

Ok, I'll play:

I usually never got caught for anything, and when I did I wasn't a usual suspect so I got off light.

Once, in 12th grade, my chem II teacher had a policy where, if she gave you detention and you skipped it, you'd get two detention for each missed. So between the months of January and March, I had some exorbitant number of detentions (because I never went to a single fuckin one). Every time I'd get called out in class for skipping, I was all, "Oh, it totally slipped my mind. I have so much to do, I just jump in my car and leave on auto pilot." Well come March, assistant principal fuck face calls me out of an exam in Calculus to come see him. He tells me the retarded number of detentions I have and asks why I haven't been going. He tells me I'm a "good kid" with a clean record, so he gives me two detentions and tells me to serve them or he'll give me a insubordination ticket. I ask him what the penalty for that is, he responds -50 behavior points (long story) and 3 days OSS. I sit back and say, "... you know what, just sign me up for that." and he gives me this pissed look and tells me to serve the detentions and to get out. I didn't go, never heard from him again.


There was a hand rail next to a covered walkway which allowed me to climb onto the roof of the school. I used to climb up on the band room with chicks and "watch the sunset." Someone must have alerted the principal (and apparently there was a security camera somewhere around there. because I got called into the office at one point and told if anyone was found to be climbing on the roof again, they'd be expelled (and she was crazy scary, so I stopped).

I used to go into the band's guard equipment room with chicks (locked to the outside world) by climbing in the roof from the instrument room and over the wall. The door was the type that would still open from the inside, let chicks in, make out, leave. Tons of fun.

Sometimes teachers at my school would have to share classrooms, and there was one teacher who "couldn't teach without her podium" who shared one with another teacher. During a class when teacher 2 was teaching, me and a friend left our class and went into her room, told her that we had permission to borrow her podium for something in drama class (we weren't in drama class) and walked out with teacher 1's podium, which we hid, which made her uncomfortable for several days.

For the spring semester of my senior year in high school I was late to class like twice a week. There was a long line you had to stand in to get a tardy note from an asst. principal who totally bitched everyone out every morning, but for some reason when I would walk up to the window it was all, "Derek, this isn't like you..." and I would make up something and she'd just tell me to go to class.

I once got sent to the office for asking a friend if he was pimping his doughnuts around all the classes that morning or just mine (he was selling doughnuts for some fund raiser, I think his pocket). when I went to the office, I was like, "yeah, that was a dumb thing to say, my bad" and they were so shocked that someone could be so grown up about it (the asst principal I was talking to actually called in other asst principals to see me) that they let me go.

I used to turn the lights off in the drama theater (no windows) and play hide and seek with a bunch of friends.

I had a history teacher who was so awesome, he let me and a couple friends leave first period to get breakfast, as long as we brought him one back.

I once stole some phenoltheylene (which I think I'm spelling wrong, it's a base indicator that, when ingested, is a super powerful laxative) from my chem lab (just a small pipette full) and mixed a drop with my business law teachers mountain dew. when the class was being bad a week or so later, he mentioned we were so bad we gave him stomach problems. I got sent to the office I was laughing so hard.

That's all I got for now... I'll think on it.

Junior year in psych I always talked to this girl in my class. We goofed off flirted. 'twas awesome. We had to be separated and I had to get add a couple times for it. Anyway. 7 years later or so we met up again and I hooked up with her. It was everything thought it would be. Except she was crazy and addicted to aderoll that made my life a living hell for a while after that although we did hookup on and off. The crazies are the best.


Let's see I got in trouble for bouncing a lil rubber ball around class. The teacher liked me and said I could have asd or iss. I went for iss so I wouldnt have to stay after. He brought me out in the hall and was like, 'you don't have to do this mang' I said, 'I never had a choice' hahahhaha

Oh yes ms. Nuzzo. My ap stats teacher continually messed with her. She drove a vert rx7. So I asked her on a Monday in front of the whole class if she went 'topless' this weekend. She instantly turned as red as that car. Didn't know what to say. Tried to get me in trouble but I said I was asking about her car. My friend and I would always arrive late to class that was fun
