Some teachers like easy targets- it's far easier to pick on the smart, usually obedient kid than the gobby little ***** who literally don't give a ****. Unfortunately, my mum thought that I would be an 'easy target' for teachers trying to enforce rules, so she tried to stick rigidly to the uniform rules- practically pegleg trousers in the era of the bootleg, and shoes with heels so flat they were practically concave. If I weren't a shifty little bugger at that age, I'd have been in for a lot of bullying.

That is true, letmeinplease, but my point was; what's the point in picking on a student that's late once? Why should a teacher need a target. You should only punish those who need to be punished. And believe me I know about teachers picking the easy targets. One of my best friends was one of the quietest girls in the year and used to get picked on by loads of teachers, until she finally lost it with them.

Well, there's usually no point. Except to exercise a fleeting sense of authority over those who they CAN control, rather than those they can't. I was guilty of this myself once- I'm not a teacher, but one teacher was so awful that I had to make extra stuff for the class to learn or they'd screw up their A levels. After I spent hours painstakingly making revision stuff for the class, I went to school exhausted and jumped up on caffeine. The damn woman turned out too lazy to even teach the stuff I made for her, so I was already in a mood when she asked me to explain it. The class were a little chatty, and some of the girls wouldn't have listened to me, so I snapped at my best friend to shut up- it magically made them all quiet and attentive, but I felt guilty as hell. The poor guy was just quietly explaining something to another friend which she didn't understand as well.

You should've shouted at the teacher, but at least you got them to listen. Though tbf doing it once because you're already stressed/in a bad mood or whatever is kinda understandable. It's doing it repeatedly that is stupid. If it's an authority thing, then the teacher should learn how to make the unruly kids listen rather than taking it out on the ones who already behave.

And some students are smarter than their teachers!

If you were my teacher, I'd shove your ruler up your ass :o Lulz

smooth

Who told you I'm into that?

I didn't mean "I'd shove it up your ass for pleasure" , I meant "I'd shove it up your ass 'cause you deserve it for being that kind of a teacher". Did that make sense? :/

Lol, it's rather obvious that the original comment was sarcastic. Some peoples kids. SMH.

Oh. Psh I knew that... *hides*

#18 can tie me to a desk anyday

Hey, uh... idk if you know this... but there's an adorable little girl on your back. :O

haha, thanks for the info 38! lol, she's my niece- 3 years old and practically my mini-me! I feel terrible for my sister!

I saw that on the animal channel. Many animals such as the turtle have creatures that ride on them like seagulls.
