When I went to Catholic school I got detention for not wearing socks with my uniform. They would also check our skirts to make sure the hem wasn't too short. 🤷♀️

@saragoodtimes Once on a school trip our minibus broke down. One of the girls volunteered her tights and the supervising teacher (who was female btw) was able to replace the worn out drive belt 🙂

@FreeSpirit1 same here with the skirts
Muffintopgina · 26-30, F
@FreeSpirit1 lol I even got sent home a few times my skirt was to tight and way to short
For Being like 3 minutes late to a class 🙃 it was in school Detention tho. Silly, but I did have to come in early before school started just to sit through that for like an hr or so. I planned on just reading my book until it was over but the teacher in charge was we a complete jerk who isolated me and yelled at me infront of the whole class because I had my foot on the book tray on the bottom of the desk in front of me. Turns out he suffered from bipolar disorder but it still was a very traumatic experience for me.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@Stark I'm sorry you were treated like that 😕
@SW-User yeah, that teacher was really annoying about time 😑 anyone who was late 3 times to her class received school detention and that still includes it it’s just by a few minutes.
Exactly, a lot of those teachers were unstable and they got away with the poor treatment towards their students. Because I immediately went to the bathroom to call my dad to come get me and he spoke to the principal about it but they really just brushed it under the rug as if it never happened.

never detention but remarks for insulting the teachers, making offensive blog posts w my friends that started drama and taking the keys for some classrooms among other things, they erased it later anyway 🥱

@SunshineGirl lol same but i did it w my parents as they're too religious and didn't like those dance events lmao

@MrsRachelEvans You had regulation colour hair accessories? 😳

@SunshineGirl yes white black and dark blue were allowed. It was to stop all the colours of the rainbow.

@MrsRachelEvans I did have scrunchies in all colours of the rainbow which I had for gymnastics 🙂 I can't remember ever getting told off for wearing them in class though.

I got suspended for fighting when I was 14.After an investigation when it was understood he instigated I was back at school.
There were code violations I could have been in bother for but the teachers never enforced them.
I wore mini skirts and shorts when dress code was skirts no shorter than Just above the knee.
I wore sandals including with heels or I went barefooted when dress code was sensible shoes.
I chewed gum which was not allowed,I would blow bubbles and pop my bubblegum super loud including when waiting for assembly to start.

@SunshineGirl I worked pretty hard and passed all my exams.There were a few gum chewers in school including at least two of the teachers.One teacher was blowing bubbles while we were taking an exam.She was supposed to be making sure we all stayed quiet and didn't cheat.
One guy told me he failed an exam because I was sat in front of him,my legs and bare feet totally distracted him.

@tallpowerhouseblonde That's a weak excuse for not revising properly!
We had exams in the gym and we had to take off our shoes before going in so as not to mark the floor. I think I did most of my final exams in bare feet because I wasn't wearing socks 🙂

@SunshineGirl Maybe but he usually got good grades so I did believe him.Our exams were in the school hall,I took all my final exams with my feet bare,it was comfortable and felt natural and I was alone in doing that.

Always dress code violations 🙄 especially when I went to Catholic school..so stupid
MrsRachelEvans · 31-35, F
@SunshineGirl our rules were that bent over your skirt should not show any underwear and that included stocking tops.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@MrsRachelEvans I wore hand me down skirts from my older sisters. No chance of those ever being too short 🙄
MrsRachelEvans · 31-35, F
@SunshineGirl I was an only child but often I would grow but my father did not object the short tunics or skirts and my mother was actually called in once.
I never had detention. I was pretty good kid. I did almost got expelled my senior year, though. It was touch and go, wether I was going to get to graduate or not.
@SunshineGirl I jumped their hoops, so I could graduate. I made my point.

Easy one, sitting with a friend and wasn't eating, just had a bottled water. My friend just finished her lunch and underhand tossed her trash towards the trash can and some guy slapped at it and it flew like six feet. The Dean walked by and told me to pick it up "now". I simply asked, why am I being asked to pick it up. He replied because you just threw it. Uhm excuse me, its my first day back I was out not feeling well yesterday and didnt eat my lunch today and he said well I saw you do it. I said you did not and he gave me a detention hour for being defiant.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@DareeQn No court of appeal in school 😕
DareeQn · 26-30, F
@SunshineGirl he was a jerk. The upside was the Art instructor was proctoring detention. I told her what happened and she believed me. She said she couldn't clear the hour but I could do what I wanted. She then proceeded to help me with a project I had due and gave me some feedback on some art I had been doing and at the end she handed me a note that just said Stay Amazing and True. I found out that four years later she was named Dean of Students and the prior Dean had been released.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@DareeQn What a cool teacher 😎 I'm glad she got her due reward 🙂
We sometimes did running or yoga in detention hour, which wasn't much of a punishment for me 😏

I was caught sleeping on top of the library shelves. I was banned from the library for a week.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@hippyjoe1955 Health and safety. Sleep only on the lower shelves lest you roll off 😉
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@SunshineGirl This was long before health and safety. My truck outside had a rifle in the back window as did every other truck in the parking lot. I was 'desecrating the hallowed grounds' of the library by sleeping in the room.

I got detention only once. I was literally walking through the door when the bell rang. I wasn't seated at my desk when the bell rang, so I got detention.

@SunshineGirl The teacher used discussions to teach the class. We'd get reading assignments and then discuss them in class the next day .
Well i and the other 4 people late for class answered 99% of the teacher's questions in class. So i told the other kids not to answer any questions for a week.
The teacher only called on students that raised their hands. So we did not raise our hands.
Class was really painful for that week.

HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@SunshineGirl The teacher didn't figure out what was going on until the second class. Halfway through the second class he got a look on his face thay he finally understood.
The other kids in the class asked what we were doing because the class was so painful. So we told them and they understood. They also agreed not to answer questions no matter how painful it was.
The following week we went back to answering questions just to prove the point.

Starcrossed · 41-45, F
I had a teacher that dolled it out in 5 minute increments for talking in class. You could work it off as after class detention, writing papers or making Hispanic food [Spanish class]. By the end of the semester I had banked 2 hours of detention [I must have never stopped talking back then 🤣]. So much detention the teacher didnt want to sit 2 hrs after and I couldnt fake my way with enough 1 page reports about Latam countries- so he dropped me a letter grade. Oops.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@Starcrossed Making Spanish food sounds pretty cool 🙂 I often got kept behind to practice how to be quiet 🙄
MartinII · 70-79, M
Not me, but a good friend. We were sitting quietly waiting for the teacher to arrive for the next lesson when a different teacher came in, obviously having mistaken the classroom. He said to us “What are you doing here?”. My friend replied cheerfully “What are you doing here Sir?” He got two hours detention on a Saturday afternoon for insolence.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@MartinII Some teachers just don't seem to like children 😕

@SunshineGirl I had a few of those, especially at primary and junior school. I don’t know about now, but in those days motives for becoming teachers were, shall we say, varied.

When I was busted 3 days later they asked me if I copied down the numbers.
I said no (but I did).
They only gave me 1 day of detention
