35 Ridiculous Reasons Kids Were Punished At School, As Shared By People On Twitter

I hate this thing where the victim gets punished because that’s all the teachers see. Especially in America - I mean, we’re allowed to have guns for self defense but we can’t throw a punch against a sexual assaulter?

I wouldn't go to the summer detention f**k that. You did everything you could and nobody helped you, so when you stood up for yourself you shouldn't get punished.

there’s no way “had a crush” is an excuse it’s sexual harassment!!!

I'm sorry your parents didn't step in and say no to your punishment after everything you had said prior to everyone about being harassed.

I grabbed a kids hand, digging my fingernails in as I removed it from my backside. The teacher only saw him retracting his hand from my grip, sucking air through his teeth over the sting of his slightly scratched skin. He was her pet, and she snapped at me to keep my hands to myself. I snapped right back that he needed to learn to keep his hands to himself so I wouldn't need to defend myself. She rolled her eyes and made a "how dare you" cluck. She was an awful, nasty women who I would have several more encounters with. The kid and I ended up being friends, he understands now why I reacted that way and it deterred him from trying it on other girls.

Had a teacher sometime along the line, 5th grade maybe, who said that there were no words in English with three vowels in a row. I immediately said, "Beautiful" and she got mad at me. And then I said, "Plus the cognates." I was such a showoff. But what's a kid who reads the dictionary gonna do?

penguins aren’t mammals though right?

you teachers are stupider than my 4 year old sister

this should have been in the stupid teachers article

Had a biology teacher insist that ferns and moss could not exist outside Brazil because the only environment that could support them was a rainforest. This really confused me because where I grew up in Oregon there was moss everywhere and ferns were really popular too. Even where I wound up in Massachusetts eventually had both. I'm fairly sure even Missouri had at least moss growing somewhere if not ferns. I decided not to try and fight her on it though...

Relatable, I think it's a neurodivergent thing

The reason you got into trouble is because some kids like to wipe boogies on clothing in such a manner.

I have a friend who is totally tactile oriented…shopping now has a whole new entertainment value to it

A tactile child. Easier than children who recoil at certain fabrics and clothing tags.

This is just cute.

So you got told off for talking smart and educating yourself 🤦‍♂️

Pip pip, indubitably and all that

whaaaaaat.

I got made fun of so badly (just last year) for reading great expectations by Charles dickens. I reckon it’s because the people who bullied me about it were bad readers and were jealous, but still no reason to make fun of me.

There was a kid in my school that went through this phase. It was funny to begin with but it didn't take long for it to get really annoying. It was the maths teacher that cracked first, she threw chalk at him and he had detention everyday for a week.

"got drug out..." I had to read that 3 times. *dragged.*

Good for the nun to accept herself and live her authentic life afterwards though

Catholicism in a nutshell

I don't get the ear bit... But oh my, the hypocrisy!

The Bible doesn't say people of color can't be a leader in the congregation. God does not promote racism.
