There's a difference between running away and abiding by the rules and requests of moderators. Personal attack reported.

run Forrest run, run to the mods.

l should actually report you also for putting word in my mouth. you called me a racist against gays and blacks. l never mentiones gays about that pic. you did. you misinterpreted what l said. you accused my of hating blacks in the cops thread. l NEVER gave my personally opinion on anything related to blacks. l stated what the guy from cops said. you are calling me a racist based on what someone else said. go back to that thread every post l made started of as what the producer said, it's not about what l said. not only that, that thread had nothing to do with racial comments. it was about statistics. but you don't know the difference between the two.

so l am reporting you for putting words in my mouth and slander.

What in the world did the kids hat have to do with him blowing cigarette smoke in your face? Answer: Nothing. You were out of line. What should have done is take away his cigarettes. THAT would have made sense.

I didn't think I had to mention the part where first I asked him to hand over his cigarettes because most people who know me here know that I'm not a complete idiot and most others would assume that any professional teacher would obviously do this first.

Failing that, I think you should have been able to spray HIM in the face with a squirt gun or something.

Yeah, good idea, because assaulting a student is fine so long as it's retaliatory

The hat was his personal property, and it really bugs me how people will try to punish others using things that have absolutely NOTHING to do with the offense for which they are being punished for.

I didn't steal his hat. He was more than welcome to collect it from the principal's office.

If someone blows poison in your face that causes cancer, you should have the right to zap him with a stun gun, because I think that is only fair. Unfortunately, I doubt that a teacher would be able to get away with that. Maybe bring back the dunce cap for kids like him? Maybe something even more humiliating than that...

Right, so in your head confiscating property is a no-no, but when it comes to ritual humiliation of a 12-year old, go for it! All bets are off!

The punishment should always fit the crime, or it is just arbitrary and nonsensical, and that ALWAYS causes other people to lose respect for you. They think, that jerk, he couldn't get me for what I did, so he makes something up to punish me with??? From that point on, they will be even more disruptive than before.

Gee, I wouldn't want to be even further down this kid's respect ladder. I'd much prefer I had the same degree of respect from him that had him blow cigarette smoke in my face in the first place.

I remember when I had my Discman with me in my jacket, and an earbud style earphone, and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Yeah, I figured from the outset your whole argument would come down to how some teacher back in the day shafted you in the most harmless way possible

..or maybe it wasn't back in the day. 1987... Mate are you still in school?

I've always gave teachers respect. Even when they were total ____s.

Some stories about that _____....she was 23 years old by the way. Attractive too. BUt not any more. Ugly skank whore.

Spoiler

Like I said, she got pissed that I used the wrong kind of ruler to do the math problem. She started yelling at me, and I took the paper I worked on, calmly walked over to the trash, and threw it away. She then yelled at me again, and sent me outside. This was in Florida, where they had portable class rooms. Outside of it, was a large wasp nest. I couldn't leave...because that was a no no, and she wouldn't let me in.

If I chucked it, or coped a 'tude, then that would make sense...but I didnt.

Dont remember if I got stung or not...but it was tramatic. Probably why i'm afraid of bees now. That ____ing whore.

Then, she found out I couldn't tie my shoes, so she yelled at me for that. Then walked over to some teacher and told her that I didnt know how.

When we got back to class, she told the entire class I couldnt tie my shoes. "You get to the back of the room, and figure out HOW TO TIE YOUR SHOES."

She made fun of countless students. "HA! You forgot to carry the two! HAHAHA!" she told a student.

She also got called out by my parents one day during lunch, because she constantly told me I was going to fail 3rd grade. My parents got in her face, and she said I was not.

After lunch she told me she still had a headache from talking to my parents.


I also remember she was crying one day. Sobbing, hiding in the back of the room. I never felt happier. I dont care what happend. She looked distrought. And that pleased me so much. I wanted to call her a _____ on the last day of school.

I hate her. I hate her so much. I wish I could find her so I can call her a stupid ____.

She sounded a bit mental. I had one I hated too and I KNOW she was off her nut.

My wife teaches elementary school. Most kids who have problems in class are acting out of the crap they live through at home. The 'problem kids' are also noteworthy because their f'ing parents never go to parent-teacher conferences. Either they don't care how their child is doing in school or they know they are going to get called out for dropping the ball. These kids never have the appropriate signatures on their paperwork to prove a parent or guardian has looked at their schoolwork.

These parents will quickly deflect blame to the teachers. It's the school's fault Timmy can't read. It's never because mom and dad veg out in front of the TV instead of helping do homework. They can't be bothered to do flash cards, cross-word puzzles, or read a bed-time story.

Also - Schools take a lot of crap for being expensive (they are) yet when budget cuts happen it's always the teachers, class room teaching assistants, and librarians who lose their jobs. Never any of the many highly paid district administrators.

AMEN!!!!

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

hahah. see you put words in my mouth. how do you know that guy was gay. he had a purpal shirt and a sign that said clothe are fabulas. l took it as a guy who acts like a girls. you took it that the guy is gay. what l said meant l hate guys who act like girls. what does that have to do with him being gay. you have the problem. you're insinuating gay men act like girls and took what l said as bashing gays. thats your problem pal. l admit l should of worded it a bit different, but you are the one who brought gay into it, not me.

how am l insenitive to muslims. l have never said anything bad about muslims. tell me what l said that was bad. your just another idiot who think if a guy says something bad about muslim TERRORIST you think he is talking about all muslims. again that's your problem. not my fault you don't know the difference.

l didn't call you a hypocrite for not finding THAT ONE JOKE FUNNY. l said you are a hypoctite because you said you have NEVER laughed at a cultural joke before. of course you have, everyone has. l know everyone has becasue jokes like that are all over tv and the audience laughs. like l said your definition of a racist make almost everyone a racist.

if non hurtful cultral jokes are racist then i'm waiting for your answer on why they are allowed all over tv, movies and comedy shows. i'm waiting for an answer.

maybe if you weren't so rebellious in school, you might have learned correct spelling

That's a big part of the problem. Cell phones should be prohibited just like Walkmans used to be prohibited back in the 80's and before. Cell phones are 10 X more disruptive than any Walkman could ever be.

They are banned at our schools, yet I see kids with them all the time at high school because it's not enforced for some kids because the administration don't want to hear it from the parents. Certain kids get away with a lot in our district.

I remember when I had my Discman with me in my jacket, and an earbud style earphone, and I was looking at the art display in one of the halls BETWEEN classes, and this no good prick of a VP tells me to hand it over (it cost $340 in 1987 dollars, about $680 I would guess today) and I really didn't want to hand it over, but stupidly I did. I did get it back at the end of the day, but that wasn't the point. I wasn't being distracted from my schoolwork or ignoring the teacher's instruction or anything with it. I only listened to it between classes and during art class. I hate "people" like him. I wasn't being disruptive or loud at all where I was. I was just quietly standing there looking at the display. That no good, power hungry, ego maniacal, degenerate piece of trash.

Were you allowed to have walkmans at school at all? Sometimes there's a ban on them, not because of the disruption, but because if they're stolen, the school is expected to do something and they don't, nor should they have to.

I had two cameras stolen from my locker and I reported it and was told I shouldn't bring anything like that to school unless I planned on carry it on me all day. We weren't allowed to have regular locks on our lockers back then, just the dial kind that's comes on the locker.

l made a teacher rage big time once. she took my $50 FOX racing hat from me for wearing it in class.

Sucks you lost your cap, but I'm with those who maintain you shouldn't have been wearing it in class in the first place. Whatever the perceived injustice of the confiscated hat having been stolen from the teacher's desk... it's pretty clear that had you abided by the class rules by not wearing the hat, you'd still have every cent of that FOX racing goodness.

Maybe you should be more contemptuous of the opportunistic little scab who actually stole your hat? Somewhere, someone has in their stash of anecdotes the story of how they scored this awesome cap from the top drawer of their teacher's desk at your expense.

I wouldn't brag about that. More like "Where'd you get that?" then you mention, "It was so-and-so's." and they go, "ah, yeah. LOL."

Stuff like this highlights the value of uniformity in schools. When I was a high school student I thought that blanket rules and dress codes were enforced just to crush the individuality of each student.

When I became a teacher I realised that this sort of conformism discouraged kids from bringing their expensive hats and discmans and the like to school for these things to be lost, damaged or stolen.

"it cost $340 in 1987 dollars"... that's how a teenager thinks. I have this insanely expensive doobalacky here that will no doubt impress the chicks and hopefully get me a free fondle of prom queen's ****y and the admiration of my useless mates - so despite all the obvious risks, I think I'll take it to school and see what happens!

l dont have spell check or the red lines under a misspelled word since l got my new laptop. sorry grammar nazi. l see plenty of members with spell check make mistakes.

l agree. l take full responsibility for her taking my hat.unlike some members her l can admit when l am wrong and screw up. l am not perfect. like l said above when you were a hat almost 24/7 you don't even know its on. it's still up to her to keep confiscated objects safe. and it's not like she told me everyday to take it off. 98% of the time l remembered ot take it off. if l borrowed her book and someone stole it from my house l guarantee she would of made me pay for it. so l thought it should go both ways. any way glad i'm not in school anymore. anyway we were allwed ipods in class to listen to music. as long as they were not too loud.

OK, this thread has veered off considerably-- plenty of name-calling and disrespect. Two options, over-moderate (I wish there was a thread complaining about that) or let cooler heads prevail.

Please keep it civil so the thread stays open. If you called someone a name (sticks and stones hurt by the way) please attempt to be respectful and if you called someone a grammer nazi please write grammAr.

Thanks. Infractions and boiling oil forthcoming. Duck and cover.

~~I watched this video the other day while I was getting ready for work. I agree with Mr. Damon and applaud him for standing his ground when the dumb cameraman through out some insane % to shut him up.

I kept my Discman hidden in my jacket the entire time. It wasn't for show. I never showed it to anyone. Only the earbuds were noticeable if you really looked when I had them on. I wasn't trying to impress ANYONE. Quite the opposite. I just wanted to alleviate the boredom of school when I didn't have any work to do.

Walkmans and radios weren't allowed, so I was carrying in covertly. However, the rules said NOTHING about DISCMANS. The rules were inherently flawed. They should have said no personal music devices of any kind, except those used in band, and that would have covered every technology ever invented for all eternity, but alas, the school system is either too arrogant to think it has to be ACCURATE in it's rules( Gee, a place that is supposed to teach you things doesn't care about accuracy) or it is too stupid to think of a rule comprehensive enough to cover every possible technology, ie complacency and laziness, believing there is no need to improve, because after all, they are the "authority" and therefore, they can just MAKE UP the rules as they go along, like it is a dictatorship.
At any rate, I wasn't causing any trouble, and it was clear from the attitude of the administrator that he got off giving people orders because he got off on power. That ws the REAL reason why he took it. You would have to have seen his demeanor and heard his attitude to know.

The rules weren't flawed, the individual looking to bend them is. The fact that you spent more time figuring out how to weasel your way past them instead of looking for better ways to learn is what's wrong with today's children. Further, you blame the administration and the teachers instead of realizing and embracing the whole reason you're supposed to be there in the first place, further exemplifies what is wrong with today's kids.
