Ever suspended or sent to the Principal's office?

[CottonEyedHorn]

for the purposes of this post, I'm listening to a little Young MC in the background.

ever been suspended? dragged by the ear to the principal's office? I did, several times, for stupid stuff.

middle school principal's office a couple times. Once for punching a kid in the stomach (stupid me and my 7th grade "ego"), once for bringing an unfortunately lifelike water gun to class, and lastly for bringing a Vick's inhaler to school and actually using it when I had a cold.

High school I was suspended just once, for a day. Some misunderstanding about some live bass in the main hallway during morning break. Last time I try to help a senior pull a "prank".

Anyone else?

I went to a Catholic elementary school (grades 1 - 7) in the 60's, what do you think?

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE went to the office at one time or another. And had at least one ruler broken over their hand (yes that really happened at Catholic schools). I had at least three broken over mine. And a few that didn't break.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

My dad was my High School principal. That sucked out loud.

And yes, I got sent a couple of times. And yes, I got equal punishment along with the other rapscallions who went with me. Thank God for that, because had I been given even one inch of a break nobody in school would've talked to me ever again.

 

[Mr.Wizard]

Oh yeah.

I highly doubt any person in my graduating class racked up more infractions or OCS (on-campus suspension) than I did. My grandfather was friends with the VP, so I had a little leeway. My junior year, I had to report to OCS every third period becasue I threatened to run over my teacher on his bicycle. Worst part about that was there was some serious tail in the class I was kicked out of.

 

[Knoxville-Horn]

I lived in the principal's office during elementary school at Heights in Richardson, TX.
In 1st grade I stole all the gumballs out of my teacher (Ms. Gumz) novelty gumball machine.
In 2nd grade, I got a week's detention in his office for zigzagging my way to school via a pretty busy street (Floyd).
In 3rd grade, I got a week or two for cussing out a girl in my class. She started it.
In 4th grade, I screamed, "Air raid, we're all going to die!!" when the teacher turned off the lights to watch a movie. I got the principal's office AND a trip to a psychologist after that one.
My favorite was in 5th grade. Two kids that were a year younger than me but older than my two little brothers, decided to jump them one day when I wasn't around. When I ffound out about I beat the ever-living **** out of both of them when my metallic lunch box.
Finally, on the last day of school in 6th grade, during field day, I was dared to shoot a teacher in the face with a water gun. I did NOT go to the office for that one. I got sent home.
I was a brat.

I held the record for number of "licks" received as punishment. I always took the paddle in lieu of grade points being deducted. Also, my principal was a family friend, so sometimes he would just take me into the office and paddle me for no reason...didn't want too much time to pass between visits.

 

[UTGal]

I never did...not that I didn't deserve it....but our grade principal, Mr. Perez, always thought that I was just an angel.
If he noticed that I was 'mistakenly' counted absent for the few classes following lunch, he 'knew' it must have been a mistake and approved them as excused.

I loved Mr. Perez....

Not too often.
2nd grade at a private school in Columbus MS. Punched a kid in the face for screwing up our kickball game. Paddled and early pick up from school by Mom.
Only other time I can recall was when I was a Senior. Our group went on Sr skip day to Six Flags and the principal called me into his office to tell me I would get ISS(in school suspension) for skipping. Mom vouched for me and said I was too sick and was at home for the day...

Detention doesn't count. You usually got that for stupid crap like being late to class.

 

[mary21]

Principal's office in high school......my really good friend and i had been fueding for a week and it was disrupting the class so we were called down and our moms 's had to attend a conference in the principal's office. She blurted out "she had sex with her boyfriend in a chair" (talking about me). I so wanted to kick her *** for that, but i just denied it and said she was just causing me trouble. they believed me....hehe. she got detention, i got a sex talk from my mom "just in case I decided i ever wanted to have sex".

 

[shakahorn]

Senior year in hs, a, friend

of mine got busted trying to buy a joint. The "dealer" had handed him a bag of about six joints and told him to pick one out. The VP walked in on the deal, my friend had stashed the bag (minus one) in his pocket so he got busted with just the one joint in his hand and didn't get searched. Well, they left him alone in the office for a while so he threw the bag back behind a filing cabinet. Always wondered what happened to those joints.

 

[tex-horn]

In 5th grade I was sent to the principals office and suspended for a day for passing notes. Can you say.. ********?

 

[El Sapo]

I got sent to the principal's office during my illustrious academic career for the following infractions :

1. Making dirty pictures with magic markers on school property. I maintain this was a group activity and I merely got 'carried away' in it. This was my first clue in life that peer pressure can be a sonofabitch.

2. Fighting

3. Cursing at a teacher.

4. Refusing to go the principal's office.

5. Making visually mocking antics that depicted my teacher , accurately, in full view of the entire class.

6. Fighting

7. Smoking in the school bathroom while already doing 3 days of 'solitary' punishment in the heavily regulated "Special Assignments Center" area of the school. It is worth mentioning that being assigned to the "Center" also required a trip to the principal's office.

8. Skipping detention hall.

9. Shooting a spit wad down a female classmate's shirt.

10. Throwing scissors at a classmate.

11. Trying to stab a classmate with a pencil.

12. Truancy. That was kind of a bummer when the school just happened to needed to call my mom about something mundane on the same day I decided to skip school. Actually I finished with an all time winning record in truancy...something respectable like 12-1 all time.

13. Now, I deserved to go to the office every time I went with the strong exception of this visit. I was sent for deriding the sexual orientation of our female gym coach who happened to be room mates with our other female gym coach. I was later released for having no part in this incident but since I did go see the principal about it I am counting this on the list.

14. I was kicked out of Animal Science class within the first 15 minutes of class on the first day of school. I spent the rest of the period in the principal's office and was assigned to Creative Writing.

15. I was kicked out Creative Writing and spent the rest of the period in the principal's office after I was caught using the class computers to type and distribute 'offensive' literature to the student body.

16. Fighting.

There more I think about this the more that I remember so I will stop here.

I'm not proud of any of this (well... maybe a couple of things) and I am happy to say that I have truly turned out quite well.

 

[K-Man]

my brother got expelled for smoking out in the auditorium.

I got busted numerous times by the drug dogs.

I also cussed out the principal and flipped him off on the first day of senior year (I had to transfer across town)

small towns suck brutally.

When I was in 2nd grade(I think) I was "invited" not to return to a private church elementary school that I was attending, because I didn't want to do what the teachers told me to do. Things like taking a nap when I'm not sleepy. The church/school was run by a good friend of my Mom's, so she was not happy with me.

I was sent to the principals office almost daily in 5th and 6th grade, but was rarely ever punished. There was one time in Math class in 5th grade, right after lunch/recess. This girl that I liked and I were playing around during recess. We were basically just picking on each other like kids that age do. We got to class and she was still messing with me, but I was afraid of getting in trouble again so I pretty much ignored her. To get my attention she decided to stab me in the back with her freshly sharpened No. 2 pencil. When she did that I let out a yelp and was immediately sent to the office without so much as a chance to explain my side. I got licks for it too.

In 7th grade me and a few of my genius friends decided it would be a good idea to raid our parent’s liquor cabinets and bring some booze to school to enjoy after lunch. We devised a complex plan to hide the booze from authority figures. We put it in empty mouthwash bottles and added food coloring to make it look like mouthwash. Of course, the colors didn’t match and it didn’t make much sense for 7th grade kids to bring mouthwash to school anyway, so we were quickly found out. However, being geniuses, we decided to make things much worse by throwing the bottles on the roof of the school thinking that they would never go up there to gather the evidence. I can’t tell you the sinking feeling I had when I saw the janitor come walking up with a huge latter. All I could think at that point was, “Why the **** would a school need a big ladder like that?” The janitor turned and gave a wink on the way up the ladder. *******!

In 8th grade I was pretty well behaved, but did get licks once for inciting a food fight when someone turned off the lights in the cafeteria.

My freshman year in high school, I was once again a frequent visitor to the principals office, but most of it was because of a teacher who was old and senile and couldn’t control his class. When someone would misbehave, he would send the entire side of the room to the office, because he couldn’t figure out who was disrupting the class.

The last time I ever went to the principal’s office was also in my freshman year of high school. In 8th grade football I injured my knee, so I had to play a less contact sport the next year to allow it to heal. I choose freshman tennis. Good choice. It was the 2nd to last period of the day, full of hot and in shape girls, the coach didn’t give a crap what we did and the tennis courts were right next to the parking lot, so it was easy to sneak-off for a while. Earlier that day, I convinced my neighbor, who was a junior, to leave his car unlocked with my bottle of Wild Turkey in the back. I talked one of the hot young tennis girls into the car for a few drinks and a little bit of what we are not allowed to discuss on this forum. However, to pull this off, I needed plenty of courage, so I drank more than half the bottle. A good time was had by all, until I realized that I had to go to history class and I was starting to feel the booze. Some how I made it through class without getting found out, only to be busted by the cops on the way home. My mom had to come pick me up at the police station and being that she knew many of the cops, she was once again pissed. Here’s where it sucks though. The following Monday, she went to the principal and turned me in. So from that point on I had no choice but to behave, or I would be expelled for the rest of the year.

Sorry it’s so long, but I thought the stories were worth telling.

Multiple times. The first time in 7th grade, I was literally

All of it for BS reasons too.

3rd grade was for fighting, which I did not start.

5th grade was for cheating, which I did not do. I simply helped. Here's the short story: a girl missed a week of school and a test so I had to monitor her taking the test. She didn't know jack, so I clued her in on the nicknames as a sort of review. Well the girl did pretty well so the teacher took me and only me, not her, to the principal's office. The teacher said and I remember this vividly, "She should have failed. No way should she have passed this test." Our public school system at work, ladies and gents. I was given inhouse for a 1/2 day.

6th grade, fighting. Did not start it.

7th grade was for running a business out of my locker. I sold pencils for 20cents, 5cents cheaper than the machines. I also sold pencil-break pencils for 35cents (purely marketing). I was told to stop doing this but I cited free enterprise. I told them to lower their prices on the machines if they wanted to compete. My principal then told me that he had never been more proud of a student in his entire life.

8th grade, fighting. I again did not start the fight.

I guess it's important to note that I was in private school for the following times:

Sophomore year, sent for turning around in my seat. I'm not kidding.

Junior year, getting into it with a teacher's daughter. I was sent because it was a teacher's daughter. That girl then later asked me to go to homecoming with her.

Senior year, possible conversion to Islam. Again, I am not making this up. There was a concern I was converting to the Nation of Islam. I came to school the next day in a bow-tie and wore my glasses. Made all the faculty call me "Qual Shabbaz".

 

[accuratehorn]

Why is it that when reading through this thread, I pictured most of you as characters in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High?" I think they studied El Sapo in particular for script ideas.

 

[jt09]

I went to Catholic school in 6th and 7th grade and got detention on a regular basis. I was asked not to return for 8th grade.

Lived in detention from 10th grade on. I just accepted the fact that my actions were going to have consequences and I could live w/ a couple of afternoons in detention for the fun/trouble I was having/making. Especially since detention was in our auditorium and had nice seats.

Only time I ever got suspended was my senior year because I hadn't bothered to purchase my sticker for the senior parking lot ($1). Asst Principal told me to pick a day when I didn't have any tests and I could take it then. I chose my 18th birthday, which was about 2 weeks out. I woke up late, went to the ticketmaster in town and bought 4 bleacher seats to that night's Red Sox game vs the Indians. Got a guy I worked w/ at the pizza place to buy me 2 cases of Bud, picked up 3 of my friends from the front steps of school at 3:00 and drove to Boston. Got there for batting practice and heckled the Indians outfielders w/ "TOO HIGH! TOO HIGH!" on every fly ball. Major League had come out that summer, and they actually got a pretty big kick out of us. Best day off from school I ever had!

 

[Beau Vine]

School was way too easy for me, so I was kind of a behavior problem.

I cleaned it up once I got in 10th grade, but I was National Merit Scholar, never made below 99th percentile on any standardized test, graduated in the top 10 overall from a 5A high school... and some teachers couldn't handle the fact that I wasn't perfectly behaved. Especially my Spanish teacher.

I pulled a harmless prank once and she tried to keep me out of the National Honor Society because of it. I had to go talk the principal to be allowed in.

I explained to him what I did and we had the following exchange...

Him: Sounds to me like you were just trying to stir up some mischief.

Me: [stumble through a short, lame justification.]

Him: Sounds to me like you were just trying to stir up some mischief.

Me: Yeah, you're right, but I think she's totally overreacting.

Him: Well, she can be a real ***** sometimes. Keep your nose out of trouble for awhile, OK?

 

[kangsta]

Went to Catholic HS. I got suspended from the very last day of HS my senior year. I missed the pizza party

.

I was suspended several times. The faculty hated me because i was a real trouble maker but still at the top of the class.

 

[idigTexas]

Just once, and technically it was the Vice Principal's office.. I posted a sign on the classroom wall that said "Heather Likes Leather." Heather being my ex-girlfriend who had just stuck her tongue out at me. The VP laughed it off and and asked me about all sorts of stuff. He said he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to talk to a good kid for a change.

 

[chillywillywall]

too many times to count. for things such as:

fighting: we had this rivalry in elementry school with the kids one year older then us. played them in kickball everyday at recess and had huge fights. think of the fighting scene between the greasers and soc's in the outsiders. they were organized like that. when they moved on to jr high we fought each other.

not wearing a helmet on the school ski trip: skiers didnt have to wear them but god forbid a snowboarder not wearing a helmet.

telling a teacher to shut the hell up: grade 3 i did a craft and didnt do it the way everyone else did . teacher looks right at me and says to the rest of the class " make sure you do it this way, SOME people can't understand directions" **** you, you anti-creative *****.

spitballs: those were just fun

wearing sweat pants: i **** you not, in grade 6 the teacher thought wearing sweats meant you gave the impression of being lazy and not caring. i wore sweat pants for a week straight.

talking


in highschool i would go get a snowball from outside and would stand in the hallway and throw it at someone inside a classroom. hilrious.

and my senoir prank: i got 3 chickens and spray painted them 1,2,4. they found em pretty quick but looked for number 3 for hours. got 5 days for that one

 

[Hobbes2702]

Elemetary School for throwin food during lunch

In 8th grade I got in a fight during 1st period of the last day of school and they sent me home for the day but that was my only punishment was to miss the last day of school. My parents didn't care. It was awesome.

Junior year for speeding through the parking lot and also for refusing to give up my cell phone and then I wrote my teacher a referral for being lame.
