I once got in trouble in middle school for filling out a bully report form (our school had a form to give to admins as the "proper procedure" for dealing with bullying) to report that my gym teacher had been repeatedly throwing dodge balls at me as hard as they could, even when we weren't playing dodge-ball, and I even had to go to the nurses office multiple times from those injuries (bruises and/or bloody noses). The vice principal brought me into their office to apologize to my gym teacher for making up lies about them. We had multiple cameras in the gym, and the nurse obviously knew about it. The vice principal said that because he was really close to the gym teacher and trusted that he wouldn't ever hurt a child, so they determined it a waste of time to look through the camera roll or talk to the nurse. So I both got in trouble with the principal's office as well as the gym teacher decided to give me punishment in class as well, forcing me to sit aside and not play while also counting me as not participating in the grade book for several classes. The same gym teacher also forced us to change in front of them, and I got in trouble multiple times for changing in the bathroom of the locker room instead of the locker part of the locker room because it wasn't "within their eyesight".

1st Grade: Accidentally breaking a pencil. This one is a formative memory for me because it’s absolutely insane how this teacher reacted. Especially since she’d never been violent with any of my peers. Just stern. We were doing a pop quiz for addition and halfway through the quiz my pencil tip broke. I had a replacement pencil ready to go and started writing with it. After three answers, the pencil straight up snapped in half. My teacher happened to be walking the room and was in the aisle where my desk was. I looked up from the pencil halves and said “can I sharp-“ Before I could finish my question, my teacher grabbed my shoulder, pulled me out of the desk, dragged me to the time-out corner of the room (a metal chair in the corner behind the teacher’s desk, covered from view by a brick partition) and threw me into the chair! She ripped the neck of my dress with her long nails and bruised my shoulder with her vice grip. My mother picked me up before lunch that day because my doctor had called her to request lab work asap. I had really long hair that I was using to hide my ripped dress so she didn’t notice that till later. What she did notice was that I kept massaging my shoulder so she asked me what happened. I told her the truth and she went quiet. After I got my blood drawn, we stopped at Dairy Queen for lunch and my mother told me that she’d decided to have a chat with my teacher so we would be returning to my school. Back at the school, mom and I went to the principal’s office and told him what happened. Mom showed him my ripped dress and bruised shoulder and he summoned my teacher to his office. The teacher got lectured by the principal in front of us. Then it was my mother’s turn. My mother really doesn’t do confrontation, except when it comes to someone messing with me. I remember she looked my teacher up and down in a truly disappointed manner and said “I work with ESE children. Volatile, disruptive, and often intentionally breaking things. I would never lay a hand on a child. My daughter accidentally broke a pencil and you thought it was acceptable to manhandle her into a chair? You should NOT be a teacher. You owe my daughter an apology and a re-do on her math quiz. You also owe me money for the dress you ripped. I will be making a formal report about this incident to the school board. And if you ever put a hand on my daughter again or any other child in my daughter’s presence I WILL get you fired.” I was not punished per se, but my teacher did treat me coldly for about a month. And everyone noticed. After one too many other teachers started asking questions, though, she went back to the way she treated me before the incident.

I got in trouble once for having a phone.. in my bag. I never had it out once that school year, and I'd been bringing it for a while. It always stayed in my bag in case of emergency. The teacher came up to me in the middle of a test with my phone in her hand, saying I wasn't allowed to have it. It was on silent so there's no way anybody could hear it if it rang, and the only way she could've possibly found it is if she dug through my bag. I was too scared to tell my parents in case I'd get in trouble so I waited until the end of the year. The rule was, as stated at the start of the year, that they'd keep confiscated items until the last day of school if parents didn't come to get them, and you'd get it then. I approach my teacher at the end of the day asking for my phone and she looks surprised. She said she wasn't planning on giving it back, but pulled it out of her OWN desk (they're supposed to hand it to the principal and they call your parents) and handed it back alongside a small plastic toy fox she'd also taken that year.

[@ShadowSkyX]

Did recess exist? If not, you needed to burn excess energy and be outside, then a 20 min quiet time to settle down. This needs to be every day. It helped more than I realized at the time; it was a relief to have the lights be dimmed for a while and have no expectations except to be quiet. We didn't have to nap, but just resting the eyes helped even if I got bored sometimes. It was still better than doing school work. Looking back I _was_ overstimulated, I think - not to the point of insanity and acting up - but it just didn't feel like it in the moment because I was pretty much used to it. But it being such a relief might've been a sign. It definitely became worse over time after they stopped having recess for us altogether, though it was a slow decline. Teachers need to understand that some seats are uncomfortable as hell, and we need to shift around to take the weight and discomfort off our butt or leg until it we have to swap positions again. I'm short-waisted and short, so I always had to sit on my foot/leg just to have the desk at the ideal level. Most desks rarely were, and rarer still had any way to lower or elevate them. I always had to shift my weight around and reposition multiple times in class. I definitely would've come off as adhd, but I didn't feel comfortable complaining about the chairs to the teacher because no one else was. I just sucked it up and had to reposition constantly all throughout my school years. The teacher's chair was a no-no and too big for me anyway; the lever to lower it was really hard to pull and she didn't have a higher desk to accommodate for the height of it except her own desk, which again was a no-no. Kids weren't allowed to sit at the teacher's desk.

We were all given detention and made to write an apology note to the teacher. I wrote a note explaining that I was one of the few who wasn't misbehaving and I thought the punishment was unfair. I handed it to the teacher, watched him read it, then he quietly told me I could go.

13:00 my high school also accused me of terrorism because I reported a bomb threat, they went as far as trying to arrest me with me even getting mirandized at the sheriff's office. nothing more came of it because the sheriff believed me when I said I didn't write that threat and the school board dropped their shit when my mom threaten to sue the district for all its worth

[@rainbowstreak9615]

The only time I ever got detention was lunch detention in 8th grade. We started every class with quiet reading time, and my science teacher was the only one who gave out detentions if you didn't bring a book to read. She wouldn't even let me go get it from my locker, because she just had to have that power trip.

[@ahopcroft]

This is a revers uno because the punishment was fitting, but the reason why I was misbehaving is ridiculous in hindsight. I think it was the first or second grade where a dentist came in to talk about his job or proper oral hygiene ( don’t remember) but at the end of his presentation he handed out toothbrushes. I got a blue one. Being a young girl obsessed with the color pink, I asked all my friends who had pink toothbrush if they would trade. No one was willing to trade. I asked the teacher if she had any extra pink ones who didn’t. I sat back in my desk arms crossed frowning. I refused to do any work until I got a pink toothbrush. I was sent to the office.i think my mom had to pick me up from school. 20 years later I feel so embarrassed

I almost got suspended because someone drew a picture of me getting married to my friend while my other friend was crying in a corner saying "Why didn't she pick me?". I literally knew nothing about the drawing until I got called into the principal's office the next day. The guy apparently drew it during our night class and dropped it somewhere then the house master found it and reported it to the principal. The person who drew the picture as well as the guys in the picture and I were all called to the principal's office the next morning and questioned and informed that our suspension letters were about to be sent to our parents.

Stupidest was when someone broke into my gym locker & stole my notebooks (provided by the school. They were for science or something.) I reported them stolen & spent the rest of the semester waiting to get replacements, & instead kept being reprimanded for not doing the work in the notebooks that were stolen from my locker & never replaced by the school. This was back around 75 or 76, I think.

I can relate to Story 56. When I was a senior in high school, my gym coach said if anyone stopped running laps, the timer would start over.

I got in trouble for wearing my blazer (which was part of the school's uniform) in class. My high school had a strict 'no jackets indoors' policy, and for some reason my first year art teacher decided the balzer, embroidered with the school's logo and everything, counted. A couple years later, they became mandatory to wear at all times.

[@WendyNoire]

I got in trouble for crying. We were performing a scene from a book and randomly assigned characters, but we weren't allowed to swap characters. We were told not to cry about the characters we got (primary school year 3, so I was 7 or 8 years old, already being bullied by most of the class, and my one "friend" was actually abusing me). I honestly hadn't cared about the character I got, but I was in a group with one of my bullies, one of the guys (who just ignored me), and my abusive "friend" and they were relentlessly bullying me for the character I got and started crying (I'm a girl, and got a male character with an accent I couldn't do, not that anyone else could). My teacher didn't exactly punish me, but was clearly angry with me, and the TA who was sent with me to go to the toilets to dry my eyes hated kids. My year 5 teacher (when I was 9-10 years old) said I was being bullied (it was STILL going on from year 3, but the abusive "friend" had left) because I'm autistic. I'm not diagnosed (I'm probably neurodivergent, but like I said, no diagnoses and still not an excuse and not their reason anyway), and most of what she was seeing was me trying to deal with the bullying.

I also got told off for asking for bread I could eat because they had put some on the same plate as the other bread. I had to explain cross contamination to this woman who REALLY should have already known it was a thing. Like???? Ma'am, excuse me for not wanting to be poisoned before my SATS

I’ve never been able to tell a truly relatable story to the title until now. One time when I was in 1st grade, I had gotten called down to the principals office and I didn’t know why because it was pretty much the beginning of the school day and I hadn’t done anything. Anyway, I went down to the office and the principal requested to speak with me and said “I talked with your brother, and he said that you’ve been hitting him at home. If I find out you’ve been hitting him at home even just ONE more time, I will give you a white slip (a white slip was, like, the worst possible thing you could get before getting expelled or whatever.)” basically I went back to class crying and said that I was going to get a white slip and I went home crying as well and told my mom, and she went in to the principals office with me and yelled at the principal for trying to “parent her kids”. Keep in mind, I was about 6 and my brothers were 8 and 10. I don’t know which brother it was anymore, but my mom talked with him saying to not talk about that stuff at school because it just isnt necessary . Because my parents would be aware of it and I’d get in trouble for hitting my brothers. I was a very aggressive kid at home😅. But yeah. That’s my story😅.

[@sairus3239]

Story 35. I got in trouble in similar way. Guy got bullied, went to a teacher, blamed me and only me. Though i guess he was coached by the teachers because they ignored the fact that the guy told the truth literally the next day. I was monitored by the police until i was 16. It started when i was 10.

My private elementary and middle school handed out a lot of detentions. My mom once had a nightmare where she was a chaperone/driver for a field tip and at the end of the day she stopped at a fast food (Taco Bell I think) as they hadn't eaten anything. Apon arriving at the school she was given detention for an unauthorized stop.

[@Legacy-sw7bv]

We were waiting for gym class to begin. Students sat in an assigned arrangement, but everyone would turn towards those around them to chat. I was turned to one person. Without warning, one of the coaches (not mine) tells me to go sit against the wall (a sort of "time out"). I protested, but he just reiterated. My friend protested on my behalf. I didn't want her to get in trouble, so I just complied, not knowing what I did wrong. Because I was forced to sit, thus wasn't exercising, I got a 0 for the day. My coach didn't even ask why I was sitting in the "time out" area, she just gave me the 0. When I got home, I told my mom what happened, and she was pretty mad. She called the school, demanding to know why I was punished out of all the kids doing exactly what I was doing. The excuse was "Circles of kids are red flags for cellphones." My mom was livid. I was talking to ONE person, so it wasn't a circle. I wasn't asked about a cellphone, so he was punishing me based on what I MIGHT have been doing. I never brought my phone (a simple keypad one that was one step up from a flip phone) to school during that half of the year, so I wasn't even breaking the rule he ASSUMED I was breaking to begin with. I don't quite remember what happened to him, or my grade for that day. As an adult over 10 years later, I'm still salty about it.

I once got yelled at for 10 minutes for saying “that’s what she said” when someone complained about a word search. I also once got yelled at by a teacher for crushing an empty V8 can someone left in the halls when I was a kid. Had to write her an apology letter too, which I am still miffed

In middle school we had a dress code that you MUST have a belt. If you didn’t have one you needed to get a temp one from the office. The office was out of temp ones so they decided to write me up. My belt was a cheap Walmart belt and it had broke while I was walking. This was the first and only time I’ve gotten detention. I was very pissed about it considering I was a quiet kid who stayed out of trouble.

In fifth grade my teacher at the first elementary school I switched to (had been going to a specific one for four years) would always get on my case for, and I quote, “playing with my glasses.” I was just cleaning them. The teacher had glasses too. I also got in trouble for crying (I was a really sensitive kid; I’m still sensitive today) and got put on recess detention (I don’t remember what it was actually called but the kids who did it had to walk laps around the playground instead of playing till the end of recess) whenever I cried. I wasn’t a loud crier, I was just overly sensitive

[@Jungkookieskitten]

Mr. Grubb, third grade. This guy hated my guts, and I don't know why. I wasn't really a bad kid. What he did to me led me to retaliate later on. I had a habit of picking at my nail polish back then. He got tired of it, and sent me to the nurses office for one glove to put on my right hand. The nurse wasn't in, but her aid was. Once I explained why I was there, with a look of complete shock, the nurses aid told me that they couldn't give me a glove for that reason. So I went back to class empty handed. When I got back in, he asked why I didn't have the glove, so I told him the truth. This man, I kid you not, pulled a ziplock bag out of his cabinet, and put it on my left hand. He then sent me out to do my Roman numerals. About 10 minutes of being out there, the nurse walks by, and asks why I have the bag on my hand. So I told her the whole story. She got so extremely red in the face, and she marched in to the room. The next thing I know, I hear her going OFF on him. Cursing and everything. She told him if she ever caught him doing anything like that again, that she'd report him to the superintendent. A few weeks later, I got my revenge. A few months prior to the end of second grade, I had a bladder infection, and even though it had healed, I was still having to go pretty often. This one morning, I had to go so very badly, so I got up to ask if I could go, and he told me no. Very angry because I had to go, I decided now would be perfect to take my revenge. I sat down, peed myself, then got back up and told him I had done so. The look on his face was worth the teasing that came after from my classmates 😂

I think 2nd grade, so age 7. I was 'drawing' on the back of my chair with an eraser, entirely cleanable. The teacher made me stay after class (during lunch) to sponge off eraser shavings I could've brushed off with my hand, then made me sit outside against the fence all recess. I'll never forget that overreaction, idk if she was just having a bad day but you shouldn't be a teacher if you're gonna lash out so passive aggressively at a little kid like that.

The one about being yelled at for doing math differently resonated with me. I had a teacher who taught common core in middle school and I was taught the normal and faster way.

1st grade - was in trouble multiple times for grabbing my puzzle book the gifted program gave me “too many times” because my teacher said I was making the other kids “feel stupid” Also 1st grade - Making paper trees by twisting a piece of construction paper. Twisted mine in the opposite direction because I thought it looked better like that. Teacher noticed mine was different and threw it in the trash can and took my recess so I could make it over “properly”. 3rd grade - Fell behind on writing my Young Authors book because they only ever worked on it when I was away at Quest (my district’s gifted program). So I took it home one weekend to catch up, which even after doing that I was still behind where my peers were. Got in trouble for “working ahead” 🤨 Also 3rd grade - Got in trouble for finishing my Reading State Assessment “too fast” and was told to not submit it yet, so until then I just played the the highlighter and sticker placements you could do in the computer program while I was waiting. 6th grade - would get my desk organizer taken away almost daily because I was playing with my markers and pencils like dolls almost and it was “distracting” even though it helped me focus (yay for late teen autism diagnosis and realizing this was stimming) 7th grade - Not really trouble but more just questioned. In Quest my 8th grade peer (who just never liked me for some reason) to sit under the computer desk and the teacher came in like “why are you under the table?” And I said my peer told me and she was like, “please just go take a seat, at a table, in a chair.” 7th grade also - Got dress coded on my tank top I was wearing… it had the correct wide enough straps and everything else… was dress coded bc a teacher told me I was “too fat” to wear it. 8th grade- Quest. Got a weekend assignment where we had to write a short story with 4 different words incorporated. Bathtub. Mechanic. Noodle. Stool. (You can see this stuck with me). And I made a fantasy-ish one about a noodle mechanic fixing a bathtub car that had a stool as a seat. Got in trouble for it being “too fake and outlandish” she never told us we had any restrictions on what we could write. Probably some others I don’t remember right now (like high school is a bit locked away in my head), but yeah… the joys of growing up undiagnosed autism and thinking I was the problem.

I am reminded of middle school adv. Spanish class... quick backstory, I speak fluent English, being from NY and all, and my family is originally from Italy. My great grandparents on both sides fled WWII and moved to Chile, SA, where my parents were ultimatelyborn and raised, and then they came to the states where i was born. So even though I don't look it, spanish is my first language... I got ISS (in school suspension) 3 times because I corrected the teacher in class, and he got offended. After a while, my mom found out and went full Karen mode and spoke to the principal... all 3 of the ISS were removed from my record and I no longer had to attend that class except for test days, I was the only student to pass not only with 100 but I got credit towards high-school language courses.

I repeated it while explaining and when I asked why it was a bad word, the teacher went silent. And one of my own. I got scolded for doing my homework. Yes. DOING MY HOMEWORK!!! We always had a few free minutes before the bell so we could get our stuff together and such. I got ready fast every time so I tried doing some homework because I was bored.

Was grounded for 2 weeks (no computers, TV, etc.) and got told to "stay the hell away from them." That's my story. For my run-in with the other brother, he was doing some dance in my face so after several times told to stop by me, I pushed him away. He bounced off another kid, and happened to go further than the distance that I pushed him. That other person ran up and kicked him. The kid who started it all even had the gall to lie to his parents. Yeah, we all hate them.

One of our sons got in trouble for not putting his cell phone in a basket when he walked into a certain class. The teacher took attendance by cell phone, so he was counted as absent every day and lost points. (I have zero idea how she supposedly knew whose cellphone was whose.) He sat directly in front of her in class, in the front row. But I eventually learned he was marked absent for about a month. The clincher was that he had broken his phone and we said he had to earn the money for a new one. (Cheap flip phones back then.). So he had been without a phone the whole time. He had told her this numerous times. It took me going to the principal and telling them that if kids were required to have a cell phone then the school had better provide it to get that teacher to change her policy.
