Suspended from school?

Funny this thread came up... So yes, my 8th grade was a hell raising year... When i got kicked out from school i still had 300+ detentions to go and only month of school left (I think total days suspended was around 30 plus community service and a nice ride in a police car for not showing up for it (it was raining, c`mon!))...

Reason it's funny is because last week me and my bro were going through old papers and we found a lot of letters from school when i was in 8th grade and about 10 pages of full report of my "bad behavior" for a month prior to me being expelled...

Here is ones that we got a kick out of. (besides the ones with 100s of spelling errors... )

1) "Called out to teacher "Yes sir"". We didn't get it at first, but it made sense after we read entire description in the report, still think she was a man.

2) "Came to class undressed." :confused:

3) Called a classmate "stupid jerk".

4) Called a teacher "stupid jerk".

5) Got in a fight with a teacher (He started it)

6) While being suspended for getting in a fight with a teacher came on-to campus and got in a fight with a principal... (I had to come to school due to pictures being taking (they told me to) and he came up to be yelling "think you are tough" and pushing me....... yeah...)

7) causing trouble in class

8) 10 minutes later "causing trouble in a bathroom"

9) 5 minutes later "causing trouble in the office, complained that if we let him ditch the whole thing, none of this would have happened".

10) Causing trouble in detention...

11) We are sure he will do something during the event so we decided to keep him out before he does something.

12) While running a mile was found in nearby bushes...

13) Ditched 4 out of 5 classes this week.

14) week later: Ditched 7 out of 10 classes, told the teacher he was improving.

There are so many more, but those are the ones i remember or ones i found in the file and my bro saved (probably so he can blackmail me later...)

PS Right after getting kicked out from school for my problems and my failing, went to school for "bad kids" finished high school with 3.8, so i wasn't as bad as report said i was. 8th grade sure was fun... Did absolutely nothing whole school year, got jumped few times but came out on-top then studied my arse off after getting kicked out and finished 8th grade no problem... :)

None of my fights were reported really, but like Diggler, never started them, came up on top. He makes a good point, when i was going to school, hell even a fight with a teacher was not reported (probably because he hit first and he doesn't remember much after that :D )

They also never found drugs, they looked hard in that bush... :D


It all sounds normal to me!:)
 
I got in a lot of trouble back at school. Only suspended once though, in a formal manner.

Once when I was 11 a kid started on me and brought his goon gang along. I kicked him all over, which resulted in him collapsing and vomiting. Unfortunatley, all the witnesses (his friends) said I savaged him, when in reality I kicked him 3 times as he stood and let him lie on the ground in peace. I got a days suspension for that act of violence.

I got asked to leave school for a day and read the charter of human rights after I called a teacher gay. I'm surprised I only got the two!
 
wow... you guys were brutal! i have one, but its not bad, just funny.

8th grade, about 3 weeks before the end of the school year, I decide to run up and give my buddies a corndog (AKA kneeing him in the ass). Prior to the act a teacher comes out of a room in the hall and starts to yell at me for running, and then for the corndog. My idiot friend spins around (hes about a foot shorter than me... was then, still is now), doesn't hear her and throws me into a wall. This is near the end of the day mind you. We both get taken to the principals office. I have a spotless record and an aunt who is working as secretary in said office that makes sure the principal looks over the record first. She gives him 3 days ISS starting immediately. I get 1 day of ISS. She lets me chose the day I want to take it (exams coming, she didn't want me to miss anything important since im at the top of the class).

Year ends. I go to high school. Principal retires at end of that year. 2 years later and i still havent taken it :p

And this friend was just suspended this year for a month for having his dog's medicine on him in school (apparently its good for getting high off of somehow?)
 
For me, it's just funny.
I went in Italia for a trip with the school band in 11th grade.
For the last night, we got drunk. We didn't want to visit italia without a taste of the good beer and wine!!! hehe.
Because a small girl in 10th grade didn't know how to drink (drank half of a bootle of Grappa - 40%), she got soo f*cking sick that the director knew it (sorry for swearing). And because she visited our hotel room, he knew it about us too. So we got suspended for 1 day hehe!!
Bah, we assume it. It was just funny and it was not so bad. And I keep a good souvenir of it. :D:D
 
Oh oh, another funny thing about me getting kicked out...

So yeah, fighting with a teacher, fighting with a princeble, none of those got reported. Neither was the fight against 3 idiots who jumped me and few more... So there were no fights on my record but everyone knew that they happened... So while getting kicked out my father got up at the hearing and said the following: "My son is a typical 8th grader, but I look at these papers and i don't see a single fight. Can you picture an 8th grader who did not have a singer fight?" They didn't say a word, instead of sending me to the county school i went to alternative studies... Hehehe

The fight against 3 people who jumped me was kinda funny too... At start one made a mistake on jumping on my back and chocking me... All i had to do is back him into a corner of a locker with full force, yeah, i was big then, 2 other just ran away leaving their buddy on a floor, unable to move... I had to help him.
 
I have yet to get suspended for a fight, I've had a couple, but same story here, they weren't reported.

grade 8: some guy kicked me in the stomach, so I punch him in the face, and threw him into the brick wall. He then broke his wrist when he lunged at me, but I tripped him.

grade 8 again: In the bathroom some punk dumps the garbage on my head so I punch his face right in, broke his nose, cracked a tooth, and slit 2 of my knuckles. I may have had an in school suspension....I don't remember anymore.

But ya, only ever suspended for the fire....heh.
 
I was suspended twice in school for fighting. Nothing really interesting about either incident.

But I do believe I hold the distinction of being the only kid who was given two technicals and subsequently ejected from a basketball game before the opening tip. First was for talking trash too loudly (and profanely) to a kid from a rival school that I hated and the second was for elbowing him in the face as we were jostling for position. Coach was not happy.

Less funny was when I was threatened with a suspension when I "wasn't cooperating" with the school's administration and police regarding one of the guys on our team who was a known gang member. I mean, I was friends with the guy through basketball but I didn't hang out with him outside of school and I certainly didn't know anything about the inner workings of the Crips.

Probably my only really funny suspension was senior year when we "borrowed" two hogs from my friend's cousin's farm and left them (with plenty of food and water) in the "C" building, our three story math/science building over a four day weekend. The faculty had an in-service day on Friday and then Monday off for President's Day. I thought the custodial staff would come in on Friday or Saturday and ruin the whole thing, but no, there were the hogs, (and a number of HUGE piles) still in the building on Tuesday morning.

We got in a ton of trouble over that. My friend's cousin had to tell his father why they were missing hogs, and he called the school over the weekend. So when the hogs were found, the principal was called and he checked his messages and it was quickly linked back to us. I'd still do it again.

Not a suspension, but I got a formal write up in college (Berkeley) when we broke into Memorial Stadium and went repelling at 2 a.m. We actually did it several times, but we were only caught once.
