School, Education, Teachers and Miscellaneous: Drunk with power

Drunk with power

By fannylover - 18/02/2010 20:12 - United States

Today, I finished my classwork and my homework early. Since we weren't allowed to leave the room, I decided to draw. My teacher noticed and gave me detention for "goofing off" when I should be doing my work. When I told the teacher I was already done, they gave me a second detention for "attempting to defy them".

Today, I fell asleep in class. I'm the teacher; I've already given students detention for falling asleep in class this year. FML

Today, I was in class just taking notes and minding my own business. The teacher has already called my parents twice complaining about me. As we are taking 3 pages of notes she grabs mine and rips them up, saying that she is sick and tired of me drawing. I was drawing the graphs on the board. FML

Today, I got sent out of the class for "inappropriate" behaviour. The teacher later forgot about me and sent a notice home to my parents stating that I skipped class. FML

Today, I got detention from my teacher for not handing an assignment in. It would be understandable if I hadn't handed it in a week before it was due. She won't listen to reason. FML

Today, during a class, I noticed some racist statements and symbols on a table. While erasing them, I bent down to pick up my dropped pencil. I look back up to see a teacher, and got a suspension. FML

Today, I got sent to detention for saying, "That's what she said" after a girl in my class said, "Push a little harder" while dissecting a frog. FML

Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML

Today, my mother yelled at me for not doing all of my homework. She got so mad, she tore up a drawing I'd spent over a week working on. That was my art homework. FML

Today, I saw some pretty heinous graffiti on the urinal stall at school, so I opted to scribble it out. A supervisor came in the second the pen touched the stall. Now I have detention and have to scrub the entire stall clean as a "lesson". FML

Fyl op it sucks to have insane teachers. One time my sixth grade math teach gave me a detention for calling someone stupid. And this someone WAS REALLY DUMB. She didn't know her order of operations!

Sorry, dsrs3777, but simply because it's colloquially used doesn't make it grammatically correct. That's the only point ^that guy^ actually had. "They" cannot correctly be used as a singular pronoun. Using "he," "she," or "he or she" (when the gender is unknown) is grammatically correct.

I am a teacher. OP, I'd like to tell you that this is absolutely inexcusable. You should definitely fight your teacher on this. If you're finished with all your work and you're not being disruptive, he or she has no right to give you detention. Not all teachers are d-bags. Some just happen to be on a never-ending power trip. They don't belong in schools in the first place.

Actually, that's highly debated. Sometimes, if the gender is not specified, the default is "he". "They" is usually considered informal, but sometimes shows up on formal documents. Personally, I use "s/he" because "they" sounds wrong and "he" is misleading. In this instance, I wonder why the OP didn't simply specify the gender. Unless it's impossible to figure out the teacher's sex, that's just odd.
