Exchanging bandaids.
Were they used bandages? If so, you deserved that and more.
Someone got me into a first fight but I somehow was also in the wrong
Not school, kindergarden. I drew a rocket, in space, with flames shooting out from the engine. The teacher declared fire = violent, I had to stop drawing. I think she also talked to my parents, but I don’t remember more than that.
Your teacher then went on to be a Reddit admin
Barred from the school computers for Responsible disclosure of a security laps in the school computers.
Turned out of you open Encyclopaedia Britannica application and select the open document window it brings up the regular windows open file dialogue window. If you pressed the up folder enough times you went from your local profile to the folder on the server that contained every users files and you had full read right privileges in all student folders.
I reported it to the it desk and was barred from using the school computers for a month for hacking the school computers.
When the letter was sent home about it dad wanted to know what I had done so I told him and he thought, yea you did the right thing I’ll call the principal and get this sorted.
Dad use to be the treasurer of the parent teacher committee so he knew the school admin quite well. My teacher for computer studies got a note from the principal the next day that I was permitted to use the computers again.
something similar happened at my school. you could read all the other student’s user profiles through the file explorer. it was useless though because the students had no interesting stuff stored on their profiles (i checked). when i finally told a teacher, he tried to act as if he hadn’t heard, because he correctly guessed that it would mean more work for him (to fix the insecure system). i would have been really excited if you could have accessed teacher’s profiles that way, though.
In junior school I lost my pencil (because this was so long ago I’m not sure how that happened). Teacher told me to look for it rather than just giving me a replacement. I looked everywhere, under everything, and I didn’t stop looking for it because, well, what else was I supposed to do?
Anyway I got told off for that even though that’s what I’d been told to do.
I definitely got a ruler to the bottom in that class (in front of everyone) although I’m not 100% sure it was for that incident.
I was not cool. That was a crime that was punished severely.
The teacher had a favorite, who sat behind me. Anytime she tried to talk to me I got in trouble. I literally got detention once where I had to write out the same run on sentence over and over again 75 times about how sorry I was for being disruptive in class, all because this girl leaned forward and tapped me on the shoulder while the teacher was looking at me. I never spoke a word to her, I didn’t even look back at her. Teacher didn’t care, it was somehow my fault. I remember my hand cramping up writing the sentence and after the first however many minutes my writing started deteriorating so the teacher made me redo sentences. It was a very painful and miserable experience, I could barely hold the pencil by the end. Thinking about it now, that teacher was a sadist and had a very creepy fixation on that girl.
I’d forgotten all about hand pain from forced copy-writing, being a lefty that was a common part of my disliking school
3rd grade. Teacher sent me and my best friend to the office with a note for being too disruptive (we were snickering a lot). I was used to getting into trouble, but he was petrified and shaking. I felt bad for him, so I told him I would take care of it.
I tossed the note over the wall, then we went off and played in the yard for the rest of the morning.
In the afternoon, there was school assembly. The two of us were called out by name and were told our parents would be called to come collect us. My mother showed up and couldn’t stop laughing at the silliness of it all.
My friend, he never talked to me again.
I’m the 4th grade I took some Crayola markers and connected them end to end. I was up to 3 when I was sent to stand outside in the hall.
I remember having so much fun doing this.
I was a very well behaved kid, but somehow got punished multiple times for absolute bullshit reasons.
I think the most inexplicable was when I had changed schools. My old school was strict about sun safety. Hats were expected every time we were outside. The new school was the opposite, not allowing hats to be worn indoors at all, because they were only worn by rebellious kids or something.
I still wore one at lunch out of habit, and because I burn easily. One time I was going from one outdoor area to another, and had to pass through a covered walkway. It would have been 2 seconds under cover, but a teacher saw me. I got detention and my hat was confiscated.
I wore overalls that were too tight.
I’m a guy.
Stupid, sexy
Flandersoveralls!it wasn’t the butt they were worried about
I was 8 years old, my teacher gave us a task to write 20 sentences. Each sentence must contain the word “I” and “My”
I was done long before the other kids and started doing other things, my 20 sentences were:
I walk my dog.
I walk my cat.
I walk my hamster.
I pet my dog. I pet my cat. I pet my hamster. Etc…When she saw what I did she lost her shit, scolded me and took me to our grade’s head teacher to scold me in front of her.
I hope the head teacher was more reasonable
Probably the weirdest thing for me was a lunch supervisor who decided I had to eat liver when that was part of lunch in the small rural primary school I went to.
It always had the texture of a rubber ball and the flavour of stale vomit. So I would be made to sit and look at it on my plate instead of going out and playing with the other kids, for about 30 minutes, once a week.
I wasn’t a picky eater (we didn’t have much money, so that was my main meal of the day, I was always hungry), that was literally the only thing I didn’t want to eat. Other kids weren’t made to eat all of their lunches.
I remember her being really angry about it and standing over me the whole time.
Force feeding kids is so fucked up.
As a kid I hated pizza for some reason, my parents wouldn’t let me leave the table till I finished my pizza.
Yeah, some kids need persuasion in order to eat a more varied diet, so that’s probably where the thinking comes from, but like anything if taken to extremes it becomes abusive.
Now I’m middle aged and have developed a bunch of food allergies, so I’ve been forced into picky eating :-(
Sometimes adults forget that taste and texture are often perceived differently during childhood. Some things that I eat as an adult, my kid self would be completely grossed out by. And vice versa.
I HATED milk when I was a kid. I just found the taste and texture to be weird. As an adult, I don’t drink much of it but I don’t hate it anymore.
I hated milk too, and MUCH later on in life i learned I’m lactose intolerant. Neither parent noticed because they also didn’t drink milk.
Thing is, if you’re permitted to never to eat anything you don’t like, you’ll still be eating like a toddler at the age of 34. Your tastebuds will never develop if you only eat chicken nuggets.
Although milk does have an odd texture and taste and plenty of people dislike it all their lives, so that’s fair. I actually went off it when I grew up.
I’m not sure that’s true. There were lots of foods that I couldn’t eat as a kid without vomiting. I learned to like a broader variety of foods as an adult by experimenting at my own pace (and learning to cook for myself).
Okay, look, as a parent, I can tell you you have to tread a fine line. If you don’t “force feed” your kid (specifically, aren’t allowed to leave the table or eat anything else), they’ll end up eating nothing but chicken nuggets, fries, mac & cheese, and apples. That is not a balanced diet.
However, forcing them to eat absolutely anything and everything is extreme, too. I don’t like everything. I wouldn’t want somebody to force me to eat mushrooms.
So at any given meal, they can choose one and only one thing they don’t like and don’t have to eat. And I do try to avoid giving them things they obviously don’t want to eat (not even going to try putting broccoli on their plate even though it’s delicious).
Plus it’s a sliding scale: if I could get my 3-year-old to eat, and it wasn’t junk food, I was happy. When he turned 5, he had to start expanding his food out a bit (turns out he’s basically vegetarian except chicken nuggets, but he loves cucumber, carrots, salad, oranges, apples, etc because we made him eat them for a bit). Our 11-year-old, hoever, is expected to eat what we eat (minus spicy or overly spiced things, kids’ palates are different), but can make small exceptions. If she’s like “I don’t like any of this,” that doesn’t fly, though.
All that to say “Force feeding kids is so fucked up” is ignoring a lot of necessary nuance.
My philosophy is that a kid won’t go hungry with various options of healthy food in front of then every day if that’s what they’re used to.
They will eat what their bodies need as long as its available to them.
It’s when kids are used to eating lasagne /pizza/ burgers constantly that they becomes less interested in veggies.
I take myself as an example, I’m often not hungry at 8pm, but if you lut lasagne in front of me I’ll eat everything. If you put chicken & veg in front of me I won’t, but 2h later before bed I’ll eat it all because then I’ve actually become hungry
Usually when I got in trouble it was justified lol. I wasn’t the best with self control in elementary + middle school. A few detentions, in school suspensions, and one out of school. Never got into trouble once I got to high school age. Or…caught, really.
The teacher was teaching sex education and mentioned that sex only ever hurt for her, so we shouldn’t look forward to it. This is an L for a teacher IMO, TMI. But…
I took issue with this and blurted out accusing her of…well, basically never having being aroused by her husband and him going in dry. In front of 30 other immature teens.
I got sent to the principal, but he wasn’t in, so I got the VP who was an air head and forgot why I was there after 5 minutes talking with her quite happily. We got off topic and then I left without any punishment being dolled out when she got bored of the conversation. I think she had some school policy she was figuring out, but I no longer remember well enough to elaborate on that. I just remember being thoroughly confused about the encounter after and raved to my friends lol.
After that Mrs. Bugatti kept trying to get me to transfer to the gifted kids class instead, but I didn’t like the students in there personally and I had already rejected ladder climb mentality by then. Just sus she only tried after this happened is why I even bring it up.
How is someone like that teaching sex ed…
She needs some lessons herself
I’m not completely sure she wasn’t lying to dissuade us from having sex. Not that this alternative view helps at all…
She was rather opinionated. I remember she had a bugbear about shirts with corporate logos on them. Free advertising/walking billboard. Which I agree with actually, but it’s just a personal principal/style choice I hold to. I wouldn’t ridicule other people for wearing a coca cola or whatever T-shirt like she did.
I had just learned how to shoot a rubber band with one hand at school in 5th grade. 1998ish. Thought it was the coolest thing. I had this teacher everyone hated. She was so self centered and mean.
So from the back of the class, I shot a tiny rubber band toward her. She unfortunately saw me out of the corner of her eye. She immediately went into hysterics and I was sent out of class to wait in the office. My mother was called to pick me up. This teacher was crying into the arms of the principle like some victim of some heinous act.
My mom found out that the teacher was one of her best friends from Catholic school. Was outraged at me. I had no idea wtf they were so mad about. I’ve shot tons of rubber bands in class and never before had they gone so nuts about it. I only find out later that they had told my mother I had pretended to shoot a gun at my teacher.
My mother threw me down two flights of stairs and held me on the wall by my neck, feet dangling. She hissed and spit in my face, telling me how embarrassed she was and how horrible I am. And to this day she doesn’t believe I was shooting a fucking rubber band like kids fucking do.
Holy shit, that would’ve eroded my trust in my mother completely.

Ima be honest man, didn’t see that last paragraph coming.
