See? You should have stayed out of work too... Just tell them you were sick... Lord I was FULL of excuses for why I skipped school... which was ALOT!... but believe it or not, I graduated early with honors

Once after throwing a fit at my sister's teacher during a class she was teaching after finding my sister having an asthma attack and the teacher wouldn't let her take her inhaler in class because it was 'rude' and then threw her outside the classroom because her wheezing was loud and disturbing other students. So I let her have it in front of my sister's class... then her husband who was also a teacher actually dragged me to the headmistress' office to complain about the noise I made.

Great idea for a thread, Susie. Wish I would have thought of it!


My biggest run in with our principal came at the end of my sophomore year when she decided to fire the French teacher for reasons I thought were completely unjustified. So, I decided to circulate a position against the principal to save the teacher's job. Before I get many signatures, though, I ended up the principal's office and was pretty much told that our high school wasn't a democracy and to stop what I was doing or a phone call to my parents would be next. My parents were actually pretty supportive when I told them what happened. So, they called the principal and told her they were proud of my initiative!

That's really dangerous?! Did your mom call the school freaking out? I don't think they can ban inhalers here....somehow I think that's illegal....

The school didn't the teacher did, and she went on maternity leave not long after the incident and 'decided not to come back'... turns out her son was born with really bad asthma and while I do not wish that on anyway... what goes around comes around.

My sister (once the headmistress let me out of her damn office and helped me find her again) spent two days in hospital on a nebuliser and my mum had plenty to say to the school about it, and my sister left not long after.

Once! I was tardy to class 3 times and on the third time I was sent to the office for hits with the paddle.

Yes, once. My high school had a rule that girls weren't allowed to wear tanktops, but boys were. I considered the rule sexist and unfair (at the very least if girls aren't allowed to wear tanktops, boys shouldn't be allowed to wear them either -- and yes, I think boys should be allowed to wear skirts to school, if they want to), so I wore a tanktop to school. My teacher told me to go home and change, and I refused, so I got sent to the principal's office. She told me to go home and change, and again I refused, so I got suspended for one day. When my suspension was over, I came back to school wearing another tanktop. The principal called my parents, but my mom was on my side and supported my "civil disobedience." I eventually got my point across, and girls were allowed to wear tanktops to school.

Oddly enough, I wasn't a terribly rebellious child. Just something about this particular rule ticked me off and I decided to do something about it.

I have spent some time in the principals office.It was always for being caught smoking in the bathroom! I wish it had off stopped me from smoking but it didn't..

Edit: I wasn't an easy child to raise.

Oh, so that's why you have 8-Bit! He's part of your mother's curse - "I hope you have a child just like YOU!"

I was sent to the principal's office twice. First time was in 4th Grade and my friends and I would normally spend recess in the teachers aides' office and use the typewriter (they loved us!). One day, my friends didn't go, but they knew where I was. The finks not only didn't come get me when recess was over, but they claimed the didn't know where I was when my teacher asked them! They almost called the cops thinking I had been abducted, but my "friends" claimed ignorance. Finally one of the
aides came into their office and she promptly sent me to the office so they wouldn't freak out my parents by telling them I was missing and calling the police.

The other time was in 8th Grade and it was SO STUPID! I was called to the office because this one stupid chick was upset because I "was after her boyfriend". Well, OK, I was but Tony and I were also really good friends and as long as he was dating Robin that was cool with me. Anyway, Robin went crying to the vice-principal about it and they honest to goodness called me out of class to talk to me about it! Seriously, was it just a slow day in the office or what?!? (Funny thing is that Tony did break up with Robin and I did end up with him less than a year after that! Crying to the school didn't help her cause any!)

Now you know how Bit comes by his mischievious behavior!

I can only recall once when I (and several others but they didn't get in trouble ) left our designated playground.

The principal I had from K to 2nd grade was a wonderful man. I always behaved to avoid the principal at the new school (3rd - 8th). We swore if he ever smiled, his face would crack and fall off. Besides, I behaved as not to get in trouble with my parents!

Icklemiss21 - wow, I can't believe that! If you'd been in the states, you'd have sued the school out of business!!!

Valanhb - I cannot believe that girl went crying to the principal! OMG, like, what a total drama queen!

Me, I was known to our deputy principal (the headmaster didn't bother much with the students). I was a chronic absentee most of my high school years.

You are so right! I believe that 8-Bit is part of my Karma for being a "difficult" teenager.

Oh I used to hear that almost every day when I was in high school! LOL

I parked my Sportster in the football coach's parking space, so he had nowhere to park his moped.
Got caught smoking and ditching too many times to count.
Rolled a smoke bomb into the teacher's lounge. (they never proved that one)
Went to English class with a mouse in my shirt pocket that I rescued from the Biology Lab.
Oh, the memories! I think I will keep the more fun ones to myself, wouldn't want to encourage any of our younger posters to have too much fun.
They were so glad when I graduated, even though my last official act as a rebellious high schooler was to kiss the principal right on the lips whe he handed me my diploma.

No! I got my name on the board once in first grade though....I'm still traumatized! I barely spoke in school after that for years!
