Teacher fell for a fake cellphone trick.

Sorry, but the OP's posts scream "I'm a high school teenager and I know EVERYTHING!!!!!!!" We all know what I'm talking about.

There's no arguing with one of "these". You will live and learn, Moochie. The real world will come soon enough. One day you will look back and realize you acted like an entitled brat and feel bad for your behavior and the excuses you made for it. Hopefully you will, anyway.

I grew up in a time when it was unacceptable for kids to be disrespectful to adults. If we got in trouble at school, we were also in trouble home - our parents supported the teachers. Whether we were right or wrong didn't enter the equation. As kids, we were horrified by anyone our age talking back to an adult, they obviously hadn't been raised right.

There is no amount of money that could entice me to be a teacher. Moochie, you have to deal with 4-8 teachers a day? I am sure your teachers deal with at least 100+ kids a day. Most with the attitude that they know more than the teacher, many acting disrespectfully, acting like school is a social club instead of a place to learn skills you will need later in life. I don't know what it's like where you are, but budget cuts in our area have put many good teachers out of work, and the ones still working have classes with 35 or more kids. When you come in late, or talk (even if you don't think it's a lot), you are not only disrespecting your teacher, but your classmates who want to learn. You are causing a disruption to the class. You may not be the only one, or the 'worst' one, but you are contributing to the chaos that makes it difficult for the teacher and other students to cover the material in the short amount of time you have.

If you have a teacher who honestly can't teach the material to the class, it would be much more effective to bring it to the attention of a counsellor or administrator in the school. It may have given you a lot of satisfaction to embarrass a teacher who embarrassed you, but it doesn't help you or the other kids who couldn't understand the material. Teachers get 'audited' for performance, and they could have had someone sit in the class to see what he problem was. One of the other problems with becoming known as a problem kid is that it follows you through your whole school life. You know how kids talk about teachers? You can bet teachers share information on their students. You will be known for being difficult, and yes, you may even get the blame for something you didn't do because of your reputation.

I have read a lot of your posts, and I know you're not a 'bad' kid, but your posts in this thread have showed a lack of respect for more than one teacher. Try to sit back for a week, and open your eyes to what they have to deal with every day. It may not make you like them any more than you currently do, but maybe you will respect how difficult their job is if you try to see how hard it is to try to teach so many kids in such a short time.

We must be about the same age. That is the generation I was raised in, too.
My, how things change over time.

Me too! I would get a whipping if I did something very bad to the teachers!

I got whipped if I brought home anything lower than a B. We respected our Elders regardless of whether they deserved it or not. If we had a problem with one of them, we could talk to our parents and they dealt with it...but never was it acceptable for a child to disrespect an adult. I'm 24. This wasn't that long ago. Really. It wasn't. I swear.

I'm thankful to my parents for raising us this way. I grew into a successful adult because of this. It's also become a HUGE annoyance for me. Nothing worse than a kid who disrespects an adult. I'm not referring to Moochie in particular, but kids in general these days...I never even thought of talking to an adult the way kids do these days...if I had I would be wearing dentures.

Might as well learn now how to deal with difficult/unpleasant/unreasonable/unfair/unfriendly etc. etc. people now in a reasonable way because once you are out of school and working guess what you are going to encounter on a daily basis? Hmmm, yes, more of the same! And when you get on your own high horse and pull "funny" crap you don't get a detention. You get fired!

I'm not saying one should ever tolerate inappropriate or harrassing behavior, that's another story altogether, but we all have to learn to live with the just plain unreasonable idiot's out there.

And the thing about not knowing why you get detention's? I"m sorry but that makes no sense, especially when there are, apparently, so many of them. And if you truly do not know why you have gotten one why would you not ask?!

 

[sourland]

So you're getting detentions every week??
Not good..

I suspect theres more to the story here...

X 2 Repost when she 'gets' you, because she is already making plans to do so. Just sayin'.

. I never break dresscode, I don't do illegal things at school, so I don't know what it is.

Have you ever thought about asking why you are getting a detention? Seems the most basic thing to me. A teacher can't give you a detention for no reason.

 

[CluckyJay]

I had a teacher that really did treat innocent kids like crap. If you missed an answer, she would stand you up in class and call you stupid in front of the other kids. I was a young girl and it messed with me for years.

There are some teachers that give kids detention over things they should not. Some teachers are terrible people.

Even after her treating me and the other students like that; if I pulled a prank like you did, my mom would have spanked me (teenager or not). As kids, we are supposed to respect adults--period. Mom took care of that teacher because she is my mom and it was her job to raise and protect me. It was my job to be respectful to the adults and do my school work to the best of my ability.

I was homeschooled almost exclusively after that incident. Her actions really did affect me adversely for many years. In a way, it still does.

I am grateful my mother and grandmother put so much effort into homeschooling us, as much as possible.

Some of you have really overreacted to what I did... Torment is pestering someone continually with ill intent. I don't torment her. I'm not a teen who believes I know everything, because I don't. I'm not a disrespectful punk who dates d-bags. My mother has osteoperosis and my dad is handicapped in both legs, he has very limited movement, he cannot run or speed walk or walk basic speed. I do not disrespect my parents' conditions. What I did was a skylarking. Not torment, not torture, for crying out loud, she mistakenly confused a couple pieces of paper for a cellphone. My bad, I know it was an innapropriate thing to do, but it's not that serious. And if she does take revenge that just further proves how superior she feels about herself. I wanted her to be in other kids' shoes yesterday. See how she likes being embarrassed, and it's just not me she talks rudely to. Even though most of the kids that she's been rude to deserved it, they shouldn't have been talking or had their phones out, she didn't have to ******** them. Could of just talked to them about respecting others who are trying to work and go over school rules in an adult manner. She is supposed to be the adult..
I have to ask on Tuesday next week if I get another detention. I asked today and the office aid said "i don't know, but if you get another notice just ask on that day". So if I get another one next week I'll ask. I never asked before because it never really bothered me, it's just a study hall class for me, but my parents want to know why. I'm not a disruptive student so it's not misbehavior.
I've had my stupid moments too. I've mistaken people for my friends and went up to hug them and yeah I feel like a dippo when I figure out the person isn't who I expected. It's funny though.
I'm not trying to argue either. But if someone over a forum wrongfully calls me names and makes speculations about me when you do not know me, yeah I'm going protect myself. Not you debiraymond or redhen or emthefishlady, some other people...
I actually have to deal with rude inconsiderate jerks everyday so I know how some teachers feel. Some people don't shut up when I'm trying to concetrate on my work. Huge annoyance for me! I hate when their talking causes me and the class having to stay in during nutrition because those noisy people don't close their mouths when the teacher tells them to be quiet. Why is it so hard for them to be quiet?!?!

Being the quietest student in every class it's very easy for me to only open my mouth when I ask a question. But some of these kids.. Oy vey.
