Alright so I really just wanted to vent out my frustration and tell my story, but to not make this an "oh you're wrong/right" thread, feel free to share your stories.
I'm a senior in high school with near perfect attendence aside from medical reasons, and am in the top quarter maybe of my class. There's this young teacher who me and her got along well with. She acts like a straight up teenager my age and I guess that's why she seems like a cool teacher. But anyways, we both talk to each other like students, and I know it may sound weird but she does this with a lot of students. Name calling, teasing, but we both know we're joking. She even gossips about the goddamn cheerleading team instead of teachering the class. So anyways, it's finals week and just a day before they start I'm in my study period where I go to her class room to chill. We're talking and my friend tells me to throw this tiny balled up piece of paper, which we've done before and she has even played along with it, throwing stuff at us. But this time, I don't know why, if she was in a bad mood or something, but it barely hit her on the nose, she looks at it, giggles, and says she's gonna write me up. I really didn't believe her because she's not that credible of a teacher. So today after my 2nd final I get called down to the dean's and the dude asks me "why would you do something like that?" I had already knew why I was down there so I just said "Look, I'm not gonna give reasons or make excuses, I'm just gonna sign the papers and be over with it." He scoffs at me and shakes his head like I'm such a disappointment. So I fill out a paper that has a 100 lines telling me to explaim the situation. I wrote down:
"There was a little piece of paper on the table and jokingly, I threw it at her. Not hard, she wasn't far. She giggled and said she was going ti write me up, but I didn't believe her. Now I'm here."
5 minutes he gave me to write what happened and I was done in 20 seconds because that's all that happened. Note that I never included my friend who told me to do it because I figured "Well it's just gonna be a detention, I listened to him, my fault, why bring him in this". So after some time he calls me back in and says "Well, you got a 5 day suspension." And I look at him "....suspension....for this?" And he told me it could be reduced to 3 if my parents came in to talk. Like if that makes me feel better. I sit there in silence, and he asks me how I go home and I said I get picked up after bowling practice, which I had today. He stops me and says "Yeah you can''t go to that, you're suspended" "Yeah I know, I understand the rules." "Okay, just letting you know" he fickles around on his computer, stands up, walks out, immediately walks back and says "So under suspension you can't go to bowli--" "Yes, yes I know. I understand the rules of suspension" looks at me and walks away. So there I am, 3 day suspension, 2 days left until break, and I have to miss those 2 days which are Finals, and miss the first day of 2nd semester. I was supposed to leave immediately but I went to the teachers classroom but first I talked to the art teacher who's been there for years and even she thought the suspension was ridiculous. My friend that told me to throw it heard and has the nerve to chuckle and say "damn, suspended. That sucks, man. Sorry" i sort of just brushed him off because he's a cool guy and I didn't want to go off at him. So I head towards the actual teacher and I just glare at her. She asks why I'm here if I have lunch that period. "Well I just meed to ask when I'd be able to do my final given that I'm suspended for 3 days." She sort of smiles and says "Suspended? Tomorrow?" "Yeah. Immediately." "Uhhh, I guess email it to me". It was funny because the whole class literally gasps and asks "suspended?! What did you do Mrs.____?!"( They all sort of look up to me cause I'm like one of the "Art Gods" of the class). Her face looked puzzled no doubt, she was cornered by everyone else and it felt a bit satisfying.
Now at home, my mom gives me a lecture which I knew was coming and after I asked if she can call to try and get the suspension pushed until the new semester starts. So she does and we get "we don't punish you guys at your convinence, we'll see you the 7th." And that's the end of that. 3 days. I know some friends that are graduatinf early and I won't even be able to say goodbye to them which really really sucks. This whole situation is just incredibly stupid and ridiculous. I didn't think it'd take me this long to explain all this, but it feels good just sorta letting it out there. So yeah, call me an idiot, share your stories, or something.
