My mom's initials are MOM, and so she would sign permission slips "M O M" sometimes. In first grade the teacher thought I was faking signatures and signing as my mom.
My mom had something similar happen when she was a kid. We’ll call her T for the purposes of this story. Her dad (my grandpa) would sometimes sign her permission forms with “T’s dad”. It was a headache for my mom, who had to explain that, no, she did not fill out the forms herself. Her dad just thought he was funny.
On the forgery note, I couldn’t fake my mom’s signature bc she was left handed and it was too difficult. I was maybe 13 when I realized that my school had no way of knowing what my dad’s signature looked like. Thankfully I was a boring kid and used this for silly stuff like permission to watch a movie or stuff like that.
I loved doing calligraphy in high school. This is also perfect for forgery. I forged multiple peoples signatures to get people to go on travel trips and watch movies and do school projects (I.e. dissection of pig fetus, lamb brain, cow eye, and sheep lungs all required a note, so bring it my way.
And the one about the deaf child makes me almost want to scream. I have hearing issues myself, so, while I don’t exactly know what he’s going through, I can sympathize. I too went to a school where I dreaded holidays, but I dread equally going back to school, the lesser of two evils. Home is only marginally better because of my dog, live 10 1/2 years, I miss him every day, rest in peace, my partner. As someone who is also functionally blind, I understand his fear and confusion when he has no idea where you’re going, especially where you’re taking him. My greatest fear is lack of communication, along with several other things, to me that’s just a sign of lazy parenting, even that deep denial. Then again, my mother was in deep denial about me and my syndrome for years, and didn’t really affect my learning, all that much, Maybe because she was in denial about all that thing, but the blindness being real was very real to her. and now I shall list my issues with several of the stories: sorry if this comment is so terribly long, I do not know how to delete and start over, at least not with dictation. You don’t get out of doing your homework with ADHD, I knew a kid with it, and he was very scatterbrained, when we had class every day all day, he was the most annoying creature I ever had the fortune or misfortune of meeting, I remember him with great humor. Now, the little brother I wish I never had eighth grade we kept trying to run up each other seeing who was smarter, we would bicker every. Single. Morning, it was hilarious and terrible, since he was Mr. spontaneity and I was lady, bossy rules, lady, I knew that came out weird. Chicken fingers and french fries, it could be worse, girl in high school. That was the only stuff she could actually get down, along with chocolate milk and a handful of other things, but that was because her blindness stemmed from a tumor that had been removed, so her tastebuds were really OK, that’s great that you went all natural, I’m a little nutty about that myself, but then you put pop tarts and Oreos and your kids lunch. Healthy that is not. And lunch being 300 cal is not exactly bad, but what is that 300 cal made up? Is it made of nutrients? I doubt it highly. And don’t get me started on the lady whose kid had to eat in the kindergarten classroom with an aid, I’ve said my two cents or other on RUclips, different unrelated video. And while chocolate is not necessarily terrible for breakfast, just read the outsiders by S. E. Hinton to see, a better usage for it, it’s almost as bad as sugar, cereal, sugar high, followed by terrible crash. Of course the kid has a problem, she’s eating a lot of pickles, a lot of sugar and a lot of salt, those are the two big killers of the American diet, sugar and salt, I should know, my body rejects me when I eat too much of either. Child’s behavior has more to do what is going at home than any incident involving a paper airplane, unless you child is Jesus, nobody is perfect. Have I covered everything? Probably not, but these are the immediate thoughts.💭
Yup. I’m Christian and read several Harry Potter books and watched the movies. What part of fiction do people not understand? Edited to add I love Shakespeare! And scary stories, etc.
many classmates at my school are christian and because we’re british macbeth is required to study and watch for our gcses (exams british people take at 16 to qualify them for college)… what was she thinking 😭
@@reiniar Macbeth itself isn’t necessarily required, it’s just required that one of the English Lit texts is Shakespeare. I believe Romeo and Juliet is also an option among a few others (likely also A Midsummer Night’s Dream? My school also did Macbeth). The school chooses which texts they study and they’re all in the same paper which is why you’re advised to only answer the question for the play/novel you studied.
"In middle school, do any children think they can get away with forging their parent's signature?". I was a complete goody-two-shoes and even *I* forged a signature or two. And no, I most definitely did not get caught - I was just saving my parents from an annoying and tedious task they had (or would have if I had bothered them with such mundanity) approved. I got them to sign anything worthy...
I hope those dangerous abusive parents got reported and stopped! but sadly I doubt it… and same for those rich that I hope were helped to be good people again but again I sadly doubt it… and wait, the teacher ripped into the student for ages for what the father said?! and that poor birthday dude! and parents too often are like that… frightened, hurt, brainwashed… and the music ones 😂 and the swimming and preschool ones and special ed ones physically and emotionally hurt me… but those poor kids! thanks for this, great job, and subbing! have a great weekend!
@@killuanatsume I’m not sure it is different for me. I have come to embrace my odd brain burp called ADHD. But I acknowledge the value of your comment and will try to be more careful with such appellations.
The worst thing a teacher has said: my three year old didn’t want to go to nursery that day and tried to slump in the doorway so he didn’t have to go in. The teaching assistant tried to grab him and ended up dragging him up by his arm. The teacher said to him “you just need to grow up don’t you, [name]” I was gobsmacked. I was also heavily pregnant, so I didn’t want the conflict. When I got home, I thought about I’d for a bit, I decided to call the headteacher who told me “I’m sure she didn’t mean it like that” I told her that it didn’t matter what she thought she meant, the fact was he was three and she should never have said that at all. HT went quiet and agreed she would talk to her about it.
1:10 I heard when I was in sixth grade a kid forged a signature AND TOLD ANOTHER FLIPPING TEACHER! HOW DUMB DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO FORGE A SIGNATURE HAND IT IN AND TELL A DIFFERENT TEACHER?
"Family's personal choice" ... that's a contradiction in terms. A family is not a person. Family members can make personal choices, but not the family. Which makes me wonder. Now that the US Supreme Court has started to give legal persons (corporations etc.) some rights that only make sense for natural persons (like religious freedom) - how long before legal persons in the US get the right to vote and run for office?
2:48 a parent tried to do this to me because I was a "bad influence" on their child....the only thing I had influenced up until that point was her fighting back against her parents abuse..I am very opinionated and couldn't accept what she would tell me. Yeah, realll bead influence, smh. They told the principal to not let me near their daughter, they all just laughed 😂
i still remember that one time when one of my classmates was the laziest person i ever saw and he always made his mother do everything including his homework and i talked with him that if he doesn’t do his homework on his own then when he grow older he will be have a bad time in college and high school but he never did his homework on his own and the teachers did shout at him about him not doing his homework and I know he will be suffering in the hell when he goes to high school and college because he always reliance on his mother
From the time I was in about 8th grade, my handwriting and my mother’s were almost identical. We both had beautiful handwriting, I admired her lovely penmanship so much I learned to copy it almost perfectly. My older brothers realized I could sign my mom’s name to the papers they didn’t want our parents to see. I charged them for each signature lol. I may or may not have signed a few for myself along the way😂😂😁
I was student teaching in a kindergarten classroom and a pair of twins (one in my class) were consistently late at one point during the year. Teacher talks to their dad and he basically said “yeah, I’m just so tired in the morning and have a hard time getting up.” Like sir, you are the adult, your children depend on YOU to get them up and to school
My father says he doesn’t want me going to the school councilors cause "they don’t tell the parents what their child is saying" like, gn, MAYBE THATS THE FREAKING POINT! Also I’m never going to a school counselor cause I know if I tell them my problems they’ll prob send me to a mental hospital :3
Not a teacher, but a parent of a student. My daughter’s classmates have some interesting parents, to say the least. 1. A mother who saw a news article about our local school district trialling 4 day school weeks for HIGH schoolers. She argued with the teacher about this and claimed she was not bringing her child on X day. Our kids are between 4-6 years old and in the grade children have to do before they start grade one. 2. Another mother of another little boy in the class. She turned up at 2pm to pick him up due to bad behaviour. Her argument was “school finishes in 30 minutes. Can’t I just keep him here? It’s an inconvenience for me.” Teacher obviously said, “Well no. We can’t have him in the classroom throwing punches and chairs at other students, so unfortunately he will have to leave for the day.” She had the look of ‘my son would NEVER,’ only for him to throw himself on the ground in a tantrum as she went to interject again. She defeatedly dragged him away from the classroom.
I still find it so cool that Tippi Hedren was the one who kickstarted the Vietnamese nail business which is now an 8 billion dollar industry mostly dominated by Vietnamese-Americans. One woman basically started an empire and it's benefited so many people! 😊❤
I really hate that they fired and barred the Sports Teacher because a f**** stupid mother reported him for SA that never happened in the first place...
How about dumbest things school staff have said for a future one? As a parent, I have plenty of those. “No, Emily doesn’t have stage fright! No one who wears such bright clothes could have an issue with being the center of attention.” “Your daughter is struggling with acting her age. We think she has developmental issues. She’s been wearing animal hats to school.” (remember when those were a huge trend? This was right before that took off. She was in middle school) Let us not forget the school counselor who would tell anyone and everyone that he was writing a book after our IEP meetings. He asked me to use “his method” of discipline and tell me how it went. His method? It was just a freaking time out. Time out has never worked with any of my kids and I had scrapped it by then, using instead logical consequences and creative distraction, and besides, she behaved at home. At school, she would run from class because she had ADHD and anxiety and her needs weren’t being addressed (I had to start homeschooling her in 5th grade when the panic attacks kept her from even going into the building). Just being in a busy classroom with posters on every wall overwhelmed her. But he wanted me to put her in time out at home becuse they couldn’t provide accommodations for a 7-year-old. It was the fact that he wanted me to try it and report back. Sure, bro… do I have to sign a release or will you call her “patient A” in the book? Yeah, I didn’t try his patented method. He asked at the next meeting and I told him straight up I had not and would not. Fortunately he was replaced after a year by someone who knew you’re supposed to work with kids on site and in the moment, not expect them to be punished at home for school behavior. Especially if they have ADHD, which is all about impulses and reactions rather than deliberate naughtiness. And yeah, she’s a very self-composed and well-behaved 18-year-old now. Didn’t have to chain her to a single chair. Figuratively speaking.
The story about the chem teacher walling in to find two students "getting a little action" I'm surprised the dad didn't punish his son for doing that. I grew up with an absent father as a boy, now a man, but I knew my mother would have given me a whooping for that. If the girl had gotten "a bun in the oven", then she would have dissolved my college fund to pay for the consequences of said action getting, and forced me to get a job to continue the 18 years of payments.
Probably ridiculous in a different way but my middle school homeroom had a gang boss' son in her class one time. his grandmother was outright threatening all other parents and kids about "who his dad is", and the kid himself was well on his way to become the next boss. The next day the father aka the actual gang boss himself came to school, you know, with full tattoo and stuff. And the moment he saw who would later become my homeroom, he bows in apology. "If you need to beat him, do it. I have my reasons why I became this, and exactly because of that, I don't want my son to end up like me. I will talk to his grandmother about this." bear in mind this is after physical punishment began to be frowned upon, so a dad openly allowing teacher to beat his child was probably "first time in five years".
I got a detention at some point in 4th grade (for what, I have no recollection). They wanted my mom to sign a detention slip. Now, me being me, I was less worried about being in detention than my mom knowing about it, so I tried to forge it. The teacher caught it and made me miss recess that day. Um... I assume the missed recess was meant to be a separate punishment for forging, and I still had detention to serve, but apparently, the teacher just forgot about the detention. (The alternative is that detention was **replaced** with missed recess, which is surely a DOWNgrade in terms of punishments.) So I didn't get away with forgery, but did get away with whatever I did to get detention in the first place.
As an ex swimmer, who, on occasion, watches the Olympics, has also is. Kicking and going from one side to the other, however, many times equals B meter distance, down and back once the 25 count also has one lap. The kind of kick being utilized however, now that is particularly important. As a little five-year-old he was probably learning nothing more complicated than a flutter, kick, Which is the base for freestyle, probably the most efficient stroke there is. Also, the backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly are more complicated, I never did master either, breaststroke because I couldn’t seem to configure everything, I knew the pieces just not how to put them together, and fly, what butterfly is commonly called, is because I do not have a strong enough kick. In short moms, idiot, in that particular story. Coming as I do from Southeastern, Ohio, I have a few stories of my own, none involving me. Both of which involved my mother.
Early 90s I was in fourth grade. Desert Storm was big. They gathered all the kiddos in two rooms and showed them a video of war footage and Muslims and told us to hate them because they were different and that anyone supporting them would be punished. We were freaking 8-9 year olds! I still can’t believe that happened. Of course. We were in the deeper south. Wth.
Geez, I'm glad my mom accepted, reluctantly and eventually, that I was an introverted child who just wanted a few friends, and not a psycho mom who threatened to murder children who wouldn't play with me.
To be fair to that one mom that asked the teacher to like double check if their kid was really tardy I had an interesting issue once where I was literally sitting in my 7th grade class only to suddenly get a confused text from my mom asking where the hell I was and after a bit of back and forth we figured out that my teacher apparently didn't notice me sitting in the back of class and marked me as absent and even went to call my mom about it even though I was literally sitting there in class I first had to send my mom a selfie to prove to her that I really was in class and then walked up to the teacher's desk and was basically like hey bro I am here you know?
40:15 "What do you mean my son doesn't play the trumpet? What have I been renting? ...what the heck is a baritone?" Why is this funny? It's so realistic, and not at all bad for someone to say. Sounds like it came straight out of a Disney XD show.
Us, I forged my dad's signature as a child. Honestly it was brilliantly done except for using the green crayon. 😂😂😂😂 Now I was considered to be an intelligent child. My dad admitted that he would have indeed grabbed a crayon had there been no pencil or pen available and that even looked like his signature, but it wasn't his. 😂😂😂 We had a nice little parent to child talk about forgery. The oldest I could have been is eight. My mom worked with me on my penmanship and up until fairly recently when we both have had neurological events, we very easily could have forced each other's signatures.
11:40 story 16 reminds me of when my mother lost her job because some crazy parents reported her for hitting their child. What she'd actually done was try to calm a hysterical child (too old for temper tantrums) and tapped him moderately hard on the shoulder to snap him out of it and get his attention. She told the parents what had happened at the end of the day, and instead of admitting that they had a problematic child, they reported her for hitting their kid, and she lost her job because of it. It's worth mentioning that my mother had never received a complaint from parents during 18 years of working with children. I even remember parents showing up to our house with flowers to thank her for helping their child. So it's not like she was just bad at handling the kid. Those crazy parents just didn't want to admit that their kid had behavioural issues, so they got my mom fired for trying to deal with him
One of my homeroom teacher one year tried getting a job a the school my MOM worked at so OF COURSE my mom knew him. She knows LITERALLY EVERYONE. She knew my best friend’s mom BEFORE I KNEW MY BEST FRIEND. I’m just wondering how she is an introvert.
I'm also an introvert, but I still know a lot of people and have no problem talking to them. Just because you're an introvert doesn't mean you're shy, it's just that your social battery drains pretty quickly. So I have no problem taking on a leadership position or giving small speeches to smaller groups, I just don't want to see anyone for the rest of the week afterwards xd
25:52 ALL milk is organic, what kind of grocery store is going to sell you synthetic LAB PRODUCED milk at the same price as farm milk?? I’m guessing the word organic here is supposed to mean the milk isn’t treated or processed as much but wouldn’t less treatments mean higher risk of bacterial infections?

As a tutor for college students, I once had a mom excuse her son for asking so many questions by saying, "He needs to learn to be more of a man and not a boy." She laughed it off and I stood there dumbfounded. Worst part? He was still in high school and not 18 but allowed to take this college course online (online learning was more awful back then).
Forged Moms signature once. My Mom I think had a spy at the school. She always seemed to find out!! Never did that again. I was in middle school. 🙄 My Mom would not lie for me. If I did something wrong she would not take up for me. I would be in trouble. Parents should never lie for their kids. How is the kid going to learn to be good if their parents lie??
Story 40 is wild. Probably a family with steong triad connections. Who's going to tell her that if she really does that, the kids with parents in the politiburo or even the central standing committee will make her entire family disappear?
I figured it out in Jr. High to sign my Mom's name first day to become her signature of record and then I signed everything for 6 years thru my Senior year. Not once was I ever questioned.
Can i do your subtitle editing, whoever is doing it now is annoying me with wrong words, different sentences, and the wrong commentary narrator or story narrator
There is a German song about a kid forging a signature on his uhm end of term paper thingy? Forgot the English word for it right now... And the parents lying for him. The song is basically about parents standing by their kids and how grateful the son (the musician) was. Called "Zeugnistag" from Reinhard may. It a very beautiful song.
19:04 dude, Blaise Pascal is a world famous name, you know. And he was an outstanding human being, and we, as humanity, remember him forever. There's a unit of measurement of a pressure named after him, there's a very popular computer programming language named after him. He was also a philosopher and suggested a theological argument (of why one should better believe in God regardless of it exists or not) and that argument is now very well known and it's often cited both by religious preachers (because it's easy to explain) and atheists (because there's an easy and convincing counter argument, too).
I was telling a mom that her 6th grade boy was refusing to work in my art class. Mom responded with, "Did you ask him in this manner?" "Did you try giving him three choices?" "Did you offer a reward before giving instructions?" "Did you phrase the request using these words?" as if her son were a circus animal trained to perform tricks when given a specific command. No, he's an intelligent 12 year old who knows how to manipulate you to think "won't" is actually "can't"
Lactose intolerance is not an allergy, technically its not even an intolerance (non deadly allergy), its just the inability to disgust lactose not an improper immune system reposnce.
I was pretty good at forging my mom's signature when I was a teenager. But I only used the skill a couple of times, if I had genuinely forgotten to get it from her. Not because I felt like I couldn't show her something.
Food allergies SUCK!!! Imagine drinking chocolate milk, eating grilled cheese sandwich, Hot Ham and cheese OMG this is depressing.... PIZZA ... Then develop an horrific allergy too all of them...
Yeah, I was surprised that Op did not mention asking the woman where that flatbread could be found. Well, not that surprised once they pointed out that the county purchased the snacks.
I hate how apathetic I am to most of these stories. I am currently a high schooler who has not had the best of childhoods/lives and have experienced a lot of stuff that really screwed me up. I hate when I hear something and my brain is like "could be worse" or trying to find some way of defending that. I hate it.
I did childcare for 10 years. One family was just the stuff of nightmares. All 3 kids had no manners, no discipline, nothing. They were like literally feral hillbilly kids. (I am very aware this is an issue with their shitty uninvolved, borderline abusive parents and not the children themselves) Any time you tried to have a conversation with the parents about correcting the children's behavior, she would somehow spin it around on you like it was your fault. One day the youngest decided it would be a good idea to literally shit in a box and bring it to me as a "present." When his mom picked him up and I told her about it and explained that this was unacceptable and he would be expelled, she told me it was my fault because I gave them a 6oz cup of Kool aid with their afternoon snack the day before and it "made him hyper." Funny how in 10 years of working in the industry and looooots of Kool aid treats over that 10 years, that was the ONLY time anyone ever shit in a box. 🤷😂
My mom did not want to be bothered with permission slips etc. I was a smart kid in charge of my own schooling by 6th grade, and I was required to sign for her from day 1 so they wouldn’t be able to compare signatures. I still managed to lose like 10 points every year from not signing the syllabus because I just. Forgot.
I had two drama teachers who were a nightmare, like they were purposefully marking me down (yes they made a point of telling me exactly what they were doing) and generally they were absolute bullies. At parents evening they were basically telling my dad I was useless and a waste of time for them to teach (I had been privately tutored in drama and theatre since I was 4). Thing is my dad is diabetic, his blood sugars were dropping already so he wasn’t in the best condition, as we walked out of their room he shouts (thinking he’s whispering to me) “ wow they really are a pair of uptight bitches”…. My dad never believed me or stood up for me with any issues with school and teachers, he always believed it was my fault for everything, that was the one time he actually acknowledged that it wasn’t me who was in the wrong. My friend was seeing them next so was in the room and she said she looked at them and they went bright red and looked like they were about to explode. Didn’t help my situation at school with them but I wish I could have seen their faces myself for being called out
I learned to forge my mom's signature in elementary school, for pretty much this reason, but it came in handy a few years later when my mam broke her wrist and I HAD to sign for her and it was already accurate We've had arguments when I became an adult about how annoyed I am that she changed her signature and she was like "¿¿¿This has always been my signature???" And I was like "idk what Mandela universe you lived in but I know for goddamn sure that the signature I forged for years was not this" 😂
“do any children think they can get away with forging their parent’s signature?” I used to have my mom sign my slips bc she can forge my grandma’s signature to a T
Story 4: This happens a LOT in working class towns in the UK.. Kids being told that University and A Levels are unattainable as they're only for "bright kids", completly unaware that they already hit the mark in grades for them, and then being forced into some trade job or care work which may not be for them at all, many of which require the exact same standard of grades. They carry the "not attainable for people like me" mentality into the working world with absolutely zero drive and then wonder why they're still on minimum wage on a buldling site or a care home doing all the shit jobs in their late 30s And we wonder why the class divide is still such a big thing here..
i knew how to forge my moms name as a teen because i liked how she signed stuff, but in my last year of school i could sign my own stuff because i was an adult by law i had on teach class my parents to see if i was telling them what stuff said and one ask if my parents know i did it. The biggest one is the office lady knew my mom and called my mom because she did not want me walking home because i looked like i felt horrable and not signing my self out if i was going to walk home.
My mom complaining that I used the microwave and I never seen her react so strongly to anything before or since. Then they quickly stopped caring once they realize I learned how to use it without their instruction. This was pre internet so if my parents or the tv didn’t tell me then I wasn’t going to know for some reason. 1990
I actually managed to forge my dad signature on office slips many times. I made copies of a previous paper he had signed and cut out the signature part and kept it in my pockets for the whole year and used it whenever i could. I got caught and grounded for 6 months when my parents went to a parent teacher conference and the subject of me constantly being in trouble came up. Lmao
Story 51: Honestly, I really liked all the different voices, and I thought it was funny that he did one for each. I feel kinda bad saying that now because then the dude was like "...I didn't think there would be THIRTY-TWO..." XD
Haha, number 53 - I'm not completely deaf, but my dad (ironically a former teacher) never bothered to learn BSL and it bugged me, even though I barely learned any once my mum, the signer as she was also HoH, had me start wearing a hearing-aid and had me going to a normal hearing school as the deaf wouldn't take me. Still took me nearly a decade from like 4 to learn sounds and speech at an acceptable understandable level because analogue ones were crap and had a horrible quiet/muffled or loud/sharp mic, no in-between until I got a newfangled digital hearing-aid. And I was the only one in all my schools, teachers blamed me for not listening but wouldn't accommodate past giving me a very distracted (by naughty kids) assistant XD I guess my dad's a bad parent then. Just him left now so thirty-ish years later we basically just yell as eachother all the time, it feels like. And he's the hearing one.
I didn't sign slips about bad tests and stuff, we just didn't. But if my kid faked that I'd be so sad, honestly "omg bad test who cares?! Let's just fix it for next time" but I hid a tabs ticket from my dad, and I was so scared because I got a final notice to pay and didn't have the money and when I told him I was crying. If they're hiding some stupid math test from you they're going to hide something much more serious
13:09 I have ADHD and I know that is an inexcusable excuse, if your hand writing is bad or you turn it in a little bit late that is okay but not turning it in at all, that is just unacceptable. And if they have trouble retaining the information then get them a ducking tutor
My mom works in a school and told me a story of a boy (i think maybe like 6th or 7th grade at the time) who failed a test, normal right (?), well the boy and his friend went to the bathtoom and started to do a muslim (the kid was muslim) prayer meant FOR FUNERALS for him, and i dont know if you know this but prayers are suposed to be donw in CLEAN spaces like mosgues, fields, clean rooms, ect. none of which include a bathroom, anyways one of the boys kicked a door hard enough for the handle to fall off and mess up the whole lock, so my mom called the boys parents and told them what their son did and told them they need to pay to replace the lock their son broke, the parents said it wasnt his fault cause "the lock was already broken" and "he just opened it and it fell out", you want to know the funny part the boys mom wpre a hijab and wasnt alarmed (or wasnt told) that her kid prayed a mock funeral in the school bathroom
If I remember properly, there is one here on marching band, I have several stories involving marching band, but I never let it interfere with my schoolwork, actually I dropped out of it because of that, I knew my schoolwork was going to get more intense, and therefore, I wouldn’t have time for marching band or the practice there of. I know if I lived at home at the time, mom would not have let me get away with that, not that I would ever let myself get away with some of that stuff, I was a highway, discipline and highway motivated middle schooler in high schooler, it was probably because I knew the only way out was up, out of my crappy situation that is, being college
Story 41: I am great friends with my middle school science teacher.

My father in the early 90's, after preventing a shooting by standing near a kids bag saw a parent after hearing a likely expelling was going to happen scream YOU ARE WHY HE HAS THE GUN IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU ARE SO MEAN HE OUGHTA! walking to the staff room. Turns out his mother had planted the gun to kill her, not free will of student. Dad was confused as he was the teacher. 7:31 I CAN OMLY COUNT TO FOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRR!

Honestly I can’t really blame the teacher. Still great though.
My mom had something similar happen when she was a kid. We’ll call her T for the purposes of this story.
Her dad (my grandpa) would sometimes sign her permission forms with “T’s dad”. It was a headache for my mom, who had to explain that, no, she did not fill out the forms herself. Her dad just thought he was funny.

I hope that one teacher SUED the parent for defamation. AND the school. Because that's EXACTLY what that was.
Yeah, I hope so, too. Just horrible behavior of that mother AND the school officials!
And the one about the deaf child makes me almost want to scream. I have hearing issues myself, so, while I don’t exactly know what he’s going through, I can sympathize. I too went to a school where I dreaded holidays, but I dread equally going back to school, the lesser of two evils. Home is only marginally better because of my dog, live 10 1/2 years, I miss him every day, rest in peace, my partner. As someone who is also functionally blind, I understand his fear and confusion when he has no idea where you’re going, especially where you’re taking him. My greatest fear is lack of communication, along with several other things, to me that’s just a sign of lazy parenting, even that deep denial. Then again, my mother was in deep denial about me and my syndrome for years, and didn’t really affect my learning, all that much, Maybe because she was in denial about all that thing, but the blindness being real was very real to her. and now I shall list my issues with several of the stories: sorry if this comment is so terribly long, I do not know how to delete and start over, at least not with dictation. You don’t get out of doing your homework with ADHD, I knew a kid with it, and he was very scatterbrained, when we had class every day all day, he was the most annoying creature I ever had the fortune or misfortune of meeting, I remember him with great humor. Now, the little brother I wish I never had eighth grade we kept trying to run up each other seeing who was smarter, we would bicker every. Single. Morning, it was hilarious and terrible, since he was Mr. spontaneity and I was lady, bossy rules, lady, I knew that came out weird. Chicken fingers and french fries, it could be worse, girl in high school. That was the only stuff she could actually get down, along with chocolate milk and a handful of other things, but that was because her blindness stemmed from a tumor that had been removed, so her tastebuds were really OK, that’s great that you went all natural, I’m a little nutty about that myself, but then you put pop tarts and Oreos and your kids lunch. Healthy that is not. And lunch being 300 cal is not exactly bad, but what is that 300 cal made up? Is it made of nutrients? I doubt it highly. And don’t get me started on the lady whose kid had to eat in the kindergarten classroom with an aid, I’ve said my two cents or other on RUclips, different unrelated video. And while chocolate is not necessarily terrible for breakfast, just read the outsiders by S. E. Hinton to see, a better usage for it, it’s almost as bad as sugar, cereal, sugar high, followed by terrible crash. Of course the kid has a problem, she’s eating a lot of pickles, a lot of sugar and a lot of salt, those are the two big killers of the American diet, sugar and salt, I should know, my body rejects me when I eat too much of either. Child’s behavior has more to do what is going at home than any incident involving a paper airplane, unless you child is Jesus, nobody is perfect. Have I covered everything? Probably not, but these are the immediate thoughts.💭
21:30 Dude, I'm a Christian and Ive seen Macbeth. What was that mother thinking!
Yup. I’m Christian and read several Harry Potter books and watched the movies. What part of fiction do people not understand? Edited to add I love Shakespeare! And scary stories, etc.
many classmates at my school are christian and because we’re british macbeth is required to study and watch for our gcses (exams british people take at 16 to qualify them for college)… what was she thinking 😭
@@reiniar Macbeth itself isn’t necessarily required, it’s just required that one of the English Lit texts is Shakespeare. I believe Romeo and Juliet is also an option among a few others (likely also A Midsummer Night’s Dream? My school also did Macbeth). The school chooses which texts they study and they’re all in the same paper which is why you’re advised to only answer the question for the play/novel you studied.
"In middle school, do any children think they can get away with forging their parent's signature?". I was a complete goody-two-shoes and even *I* forged a signature or two. And no, I most definitely did not get caught - I was just saving my parents from an annoying and tedious task they had (or would have if I had bothered them with such mundanity) approved. I got them to sign anything worthy...
As a goody-two-shoes it feels like “hehe I’m a rule breaker heheheh”
I never forged a signature. Am I a freak? Or more of one than I already knew.
@@SewardWriterthe chosen one

Yeah
No, it was HILARIOUS 😂
I hope those dangerous abusive parents got reported and stopped! but sadly I doubt it… and same for those rich that I hope were helped to be good people again but again I sadly doubt it…
and wait, the teacher ripped into the student for ages for what the father said?!
and that poor birthday dude!
and parents too often are like that… frightened, hurt, brainwashed…
and the music ones 😂

thanks for this, great job, and subbing! have a great weekend!

Checking usually means to verbally dress down someone about a received insult or something. It’s the step BEFORE violence
The worst thing a teacher has said: my three year old didn’t want to go to nursery that day and tried to slump in the doorway so he didn’t have to go in. The teaching assistant tried to grab him and ended up dragging him up by his arm. The teacher said to him “you just need to grow up don’t you, [name]” I was gobsmacked. I was also heavily pregnant, so I didn’t want the conflict. When I got home, I thought about I’d for a bit, I decided to call the headteacher who told me “I’m sure she didn’t mean it like that” I told her that it didn’t matter what she thought she meant, the fact was he was three and she should never have said that at all. HT went quiet and agreed she would talk to her about it.
1:10 I heard when I was in sixth grade a kid forged a signature AND TOLD ANOTHER FLIPPING TEACHER! HOW DUMB DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO FORGE A SIGNATURE HAND IT IN AND TELL A DIFFERENT TEACHER?
"Family's personal choice" ... that's a contradiction in terms. A family is not a person. Family members can make personal choices, but not the family.
Which makes me wonder. Now that the US Supreme Court has started to give legal persons (corporations etc.) some rights that only make sense for natural persons (like religious freedom) - how long before legal persons in the US get the right to vote and run for office?
2:48 a parent tried to do this to me because I was a "bad influence" on their child....the only thing I had influenced up until that point was her fighting back against her parents abuse..I am very opinionated and couldn't accept what she would tell me. Yeah, realll bead influence, smh. They told the principal to not let me near their daughter, they all just laughed 😂
i still remember that one time when one of my classmates was the laziest person i ever saw and he always made his mother do everything including his homework and i talked with him that if he doesn’t do his homework on his own then when he grow older he will be have a bad time in college and high school but he never did his homework on his own and the teachers did shout at him about him not doing his homework and I know he will be suffering in the hell when he goes to high school and college because he always reliance on his mother
I give teachers a lot of credit, as well as a lot of respect. They deal with the worst things on a daily basis and don’t get paid enough for it.
Bro,story 53 is just...sad,man. that poor kid.
From the time I was in about 8th grade, my handwriting and my mother’s were almost identical. We both had beautiful handwriting, I admired her lovely penmanship so much I learned to copy it almost perfectly. My older brothers realized I could sign my mom’s name to the papers they didn’t want our parents to see. I charged them for each signature lol. I may or may not have signed a few for myself along the way😂😂😁
I was student teaching in a kindergarten classroom and a pair of twins (one in my class) were consistently late at one point during the year. Teacher talks to their dad and he basically said “yeah, I’m just so tired in the morning and have a hard time getting up.” Like sir, you are the adult, your children depend on YOU to get them up and to school
My father says he doesn’t want me going to the school councilors cause "they don’t tell the parents what their child is saying" like, gn, MAYBE THATS THE FREAKING POINT! Also I’m never going to a school counselor cause I know if I tell them my problems they’ll prob send me to a mental hospital :3
40:40 In my middle school band class we were *constantly* given photocopied sheet music
Not a teacher, but a parent of a student. My daughter’s classmates have some interesting parents, to say the least.
1. A mother who saw a news article about our local school district trialling 4 day school weeks for HIGH schoolers. She argued with the teacher about this and claimed she was not bringing her child on X day. Our kids are between 4-6 years old and in the grade children have to do before they start grade one.
2. Another mother of another little boy in the class. She turned up at 2pm to pick him up due to bad behaviour. Her argument was “school finishes in 30 minutes. Can’t I just keep him here? It’s an inconvenience for me.” Teacher obviously said, “Well no. We can’t have him in the classroom throwing punches and chairs at other students, so unfortunately he will have to leave for the day.” She had the look of ‘my son would NEVER,’ only for him to throw himself on the ground in a tantrum as she went to interject again. She defeatedly dragged him away from the classroom.
I still find it so cool that Tippi Hedren was the one who kickstarted the Vietnamese nail business which is now an 8 billion dollar industry mostly dominated by Vietnamese-Americans. One woman basically started an empire and it's benefited so many people! 😊❤
I'm so glad I'm done with school.
I really hate that they fired and barred the Sports Teacher because a f**** stupid mother reported him for SA that never happened in the first place...
How about dumbest things school staff have said for a future one? As a parent, I have plenty of those.
“No, Emily doesn’t have stage fright! No one who wears such bright clothes could have an issue with being the center of attention.”
“Your daughter is struggling with acting her age. We think she has developmental issues. She’s been wearing animal hats to school.” (remember when those were a huge trend? This was right before that took off. She was in middle school)
Let us not forget the school counselor who would tell anyone and everyone that he was writing a book after our IEP meetings. He asked me to use “his method” of discipline and tell me how it went. His method? It was just a freaking time out. Time out has never worked with any of my kids and I had scrapped it by then, using instead logical consequences and creative distraction, and besides, she behaved at home. At school, she would run from class because she had ADHD and anxiety and her needs weren’t being addressed (I had to start homeschooling her in 5th grade when the panic attacks kept her from even going into the building). Just being in a busy classroom with posters on every wall overwhelmed her. But he wanted me to put her in time out at home becuse they couldn’t provide accommodations for a 7-year-old.
It was the fact that he wanted me to try it and report back. Sure, bro… do I have to sign a release or will you call her “patient A” in the book? Yeah, I didn’t try his patented method. He asked at the next meeting and I told him straight up I had not and would not.
Fortunately he was replaced after a year by someone who knew you’re supposed to work with kids on site and in the moment, not expect them to be punished at home for school behavior. Especially if they have ADHD, which is all about impulses and reactions rather than deliberate naughtiness. And yeah, she’s a very self-composed and well-behaved 18-year-old now. Didn’t have to chain her to a single chair. Figuratively speaking.
The story about the chem teacher walling in to find two students "getting a little action" I'm surprised the dad didn't punish his son for doing that. I grew up with an absent father as a boy, now a man, but I knew my mother would have given me a whooping for that. If the girl had gotten "a bun in the oven", then she would have dissolved my college fund to pay for the consequences of said action getting, and forced me to get a job to continue the 18 years of payments.
Probably ridiculous in a different way but my middle school homeroom had a gang boss' son in her class one time. his grandmother was outright threatening all other parents and kids about "who his dad is", and the kid himself was well on his way to become the next boss.
The next day the father aka the actual gang boss himself came to school, you know, with full tattoo and stuff. And the moment he saw who would later become my homeroom, he bows in apology.
"If you need to beat him, do it. I have my reasons why I became this, and exactly because of that, I don't want my son to end up like me. I will talk to his grandmother about this."
bear in mind this is after physical punishment began to be frowned upon, so a dad openly allowing teacher to beat his child was probably "first time in five years".
I got a detention at some point in 4th grade (for what, I have no recollection). They wanted my mom to sign a detention slip. Now, me being me, I was less worried about being in detention than my mom knowing about it, so I tried to forge it. The teacher caught it and made me miss recess that day.
Um... I assume the missed recess was meant to be a separate punishment for forging, and I still had detention to serve, but apparently, the teacher just forgot about the detention. (The alternative is that detention was **replaced** with missed recess, which is surely a DOWNgrade in terms of punishments.)
So I didn't get away with forgery, but did get away with whatever I did to get detention in the first place.
That poor music teacher 😂
I could absolutely forge my mom’s signature as an elementary schooler and could probs do it now
As an ex swimmer, who, on occasion, watches the Olympics, has also is. Kicking and going from one side to the other, however, many times equals B meter distance, down and back once the 25 count also has one lap. The kind of kick being utilized however, now that is particularly important. As a little five-year-old he was probably learning nothing more complicated than a flutter, kick, Which is the base for freestyle, probably the most efficient stroke there is. Also, the backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly are more complicated, I never did master either, breaststroke because I couldn’t seem to configure everything, I knew the pieces just not how to put them together, and fly, what butterfly is commonly called, is because I do not have a strong enough kick. In short moms, idiot, in that particular story. Coming as I do from Southeastern, Ohio, I have a few stories of my own, none involving me. Both of which involved my mother.
I used to forge my mom's signature I'd copy it off of another document and I never got caught 😂
Early 90s I was in fourth grade. Desert Storm was big. They gathered all the kiddos in two rooms and showed them a video of war footage and Muslims and told us to hate them because they were different and that anyone supporting them would be punished. We were freaking 8-9 year olds! I still can’t believe that happened. Of course. We were in the deeper south. Wth.
Geez, I'm glad my mom accepted, reluctantly and eventually, that I was an introverted child who just wanted a few friends, and not a psycho mom who threatened to murder children who wouldn't play with me.
To be fair to that one mom that asked the teacher to like double check if their kid was really tardy I had an interesting issue once where I was literally sitting in my 7th grade class only to suddenly get a confused text from my mom asking where the hell I was and after a bit of back and forth we figured out that my teacher apparently didn't notice me sitting in the back of class and marked me as absent and even went to call my mom about it even though I was literally sitting there in class
I first had to send my mom a selfie to prove to her that I really was in class and then walked up to the teacher's desk and was basically like hey bro I am here you know?

Us, I forged my dad's signature as a child. Honestly it was brilliantly done except for using the green crayon. 😂😂😂😂 Now I was considered to be an intelligent child. My dad admitted that he would have indeed grabbed a crayon had there been no pencil or pen available and that even looked like his signature, but it wasn't his. 😂😂😂 We had a nice little parent to child talk about forgery. The oldest I could have been is eight.
My mom worked with me on my penmanship and up until fairly recently when we both have had neurological events, we very easily could have forced each other's signatures.
11:40 story 16 reminds me of when my mother lost her job because some crazy parents reported her for hitting their child.
What she'd actually done was try to calm a hysterical child (too old for temper tantrums) and tapped him moderately hard on the shoulder to snap him out of it and get his attention.
She told the parents what had happened at the end of the day, and instead of admitting that they had a problematic child, they reported her for hitting their kid, and she lost her job because of it.
It's worth mentioning that my mother had never received a complaint from parents during 18 years of working with children. I even remember parents showing up to our house with flowers to thank her for helping their child. So it's not like she was just bad at handling the kid. Those crazy parents just didn't want to admit that their kid had behavioural issues, so they got my mom fired for trying to deal with him
One of my homeroom teacher one year tried getting a job a the school my MOM worked at so OF COURSE my mom knew him. She knows LITERALLY EVERYONE. She knew my best friend’s mom BEFORE I KNEW MY BEST FRIEND. I’m just wondering how she is an introvert.
what? you can be an introvert and still know people…
I'm also an introvert, but I still know a lot of people and have no problem talking to them. Just because you're an introvert doesn't mean you're shy, it's just that your social battery drains pretty quickly.
So I have no problem taking on a leadership position or giving small speeches to smaller groups, I just don't want to see anyone for the rest of the week afterwards xd
You actually said Blaise perfectly! Source: I'm French :)

25:52 ALL milk is organic, what kind of grocery store is going to sell you synthetic LAB PRODUCED milk at the same price as farm milk??

false. cows are regularly given antibiotics which nulls the organic rating

As a tutor for college students, I once had a mom excuse her son for asking so many questions by saying, "He needs to learn to be more of a man and not a boy." She laughed it off and I stood there dumbfounded.
Worst part? He was still in high school and not 18 but allowed to take this college course online (online learning was more awful back then).
"What do you mean it's flattened" goes wild
Forged Moms signature once.
My Mom I think had a spy at the school. She always seemed to find out!! Never did that again. I was in middle school. 🙄
My Mom would not lie for me. If I did something wrong she would not take up for me. I would be in trouble.
Parents should never lie for their kids. How is the kid going to learn to be good if their parents lie??
This whole thing disquiets me. Deeply.
Story 40 is wild. Probably a family with steong triad connections.
Who's going to tell her that if she really does that, the kids with parents in the politiburo or even the central standing committee will make her entire family disappear?
45:50 or at minimum having a notebook and teaching them to read so you can communicate with them easily
YAY ITS THE GOOD YELLOW SQUARE!
I figured it out in Jr. High to sign my Mom's name first day to become her signature of record and then I signed everything for 6 years thru my Senior year.

There is a German song about a kid forging a signature on his uhm end of term paper thingy? Forgot the English word for it right now... And the parents lying for him.
The song is basically about parents standing by their kids and how grateful the son (the musician) was.
Called "Zeugnistag" from Reinhard may. It a very beautiful song.
19:04 dude, Blaise Pascal is a world famous name, you know. And he was an outstanding human being, and we, as humanity, remember him forever. There's a unit of measurement of a pressure named after him, there's a very popular computer programming language named after him. He was also a philosopher and suggested a theological argument (of why one should better believe in God regardless of it exists or not) and that argument is now very well known and it's often cited both by religious preachers (because it's easy to explain) and atheists (because there's an easy and convincing counter argument, too).
Poor Olympic teacher, bro even had the student's backing and was still seen as an offender, wtf is this
I was telling a mom that her 6th grade boy was refusing to work in my art class. Mom responded with, "Did you ask him in this manner?" "Did you try giving him three choices?" "Did you offer a reward before giving instructions?" "Did you phrase the request using these words?" as if her son were a circus animal trained to perform tricks when given a specific command. No, he's an intelligent 12 year old who knows how to manipulate you to think "won't" is actually "can't"
Lactose intolerance is not an allergy, technically its not even an intolerance (non deadly allergy), its just the inability to disgust lactose not an improper immune system reposnce.
You mean digest right? Because disgust mean something else.
I was pretty good at forging my mom's signature when I was a teenager. But I only used the skill a couple of times, if I had genuinely forgotten to get it from her. Not because I felt like I couldn't show her something.
Food allergies SUCK!!! Imagine drinking chocolate milk, eating grilled cheese sandwich, Hot Ham and cheese OMG this is depressing.... PIZZA ... Then develop an horrific allergy too all of them...
The rest of Story 12 being in narrator green is just so funny!
23:18 yeah lemme just go to walmart and pick up some fuckin injera
Yeah, I was surprised that Op did not mention asking the woman where that flatbread could be found. Well, not that surprised once they pointed out that the county purchased the snacks.
I hate how apathetic I am to most of these stories. I am currently a high schooler who has not had the best of childhoods/lives and have experienced a lot of stuff that really screwed me up. I hate when I hear something and my brain is like "could be worse" or trying to find some way of defending that. I hate it.

I did childcare for 10 years. One family was just the stuff of nightmares. All 3 kids had no manners, no discipline, nothing. They were like literally feral hillbilly kids. (I am very aware this is an issue with their shitty uninvolved, borderline abusive parents and not the children themselves) Any time you tried to have a conversation with the parents about correcting the children's behavior, she would somehow spin it around on you like it was your fault. One day the youngest decided it would be a good idea to literally shit in a box and bring it to me as a "present." When his mom picked him up and I told her about it and explained that this was unacceptable and he would be expelled, she told me it was my fault because I gave them a 6oz cup of Kool aid with their afternoon snack the day before and it "made him hyper." Funny how in 10 years of working in the industry and looooots of Kool aid treats over that 10 years, that was the ONLY time anyone ever shit in a box. 🤷😂
My mom did not want to be bothered with permission slips etc. I was a smart kid in charge of my own schooling by 6th grade, and I was required to sign for her from day 1 so they wouldn’t be able to compare signatures.
I still managed to lose like 10 points every year from not signing the syllabus because I just. Forgot.
I had two drama teachers who were a nightmare, like they were purposefully marking me down (yes they made a point of telling me exactly what they were doing) and generally they were absolute bullies. At parents evening they were basically telling my dad I was useless and a waste of time for them to teach (I had been privately tutored in drama and theatre since I was 4). Thing is my dad is diabetic, his blood sugars were dropping already so he wasn’t in the best condition, as we walked out of their room he shouts (thinking he’s whispering to me) “ wow they really are a pair of uptight bitches”…. My dad never believed me or stood up for me with any issues with school and teachers, he always believed it was my fault for everything, that was the one time he actually acknowledged that it wasn’t me who was in the wrong. My friend was seeing them next so was in the room and she said she looked at them and they went bright red and looked like they were about to explode. Didn’t help my situation at school with them but I wish I could have seen their faces myself for being called out
I learned to forge my mom's signature in elementary school, for pretty much this reason, but it came in handy a few years later when my mam broke her wrist and I HAD to sign for her and it was already accurate
We've had arguments when I became an adult about how annoyed I am that she changed her signature and she was like "¿¿¿This has always been my signature???" And I was like "idk what Mandela universe you lived in but I know for goddamn sure that the signature I forged for years was not this" 😂
There's an olde saying about cheating: "It isn't cheating if you don't get caught".
“do any children think they can get away with forging their parent’s signature?” I used to have my mom sign my slips bc she can forge my grandma’s signature to a T

Story 4:
This happens a LOT in working class towns in the UK..
Kids being told that University and A Levels are unattainable as they're only for "bright kids", completly unaware that they already hit the mark in grades for them, and then being forced into some trade job or care work which may not be for them at all, many of which require the exact same standard of grades.
They carry the "not attainable for people like me" mentality into the working world with absolutely zero drive and then wonder why they're still on minimum wage on a buldling site or a care home doing all the shit jobs in their late 30s
And we wonder why the class divide is still such a big thing here..
i knew how to forge my moms name as a teen because i liked how she signed stuff, but in my last year of school i could sign my own stuff because i was an adult by law i had on teach class my parents to see if i was telling them what stuff said and one ask if my parents know i did it. The biggest one is the office lady knew my mom and called my mom because she did not want me walking home because i looked like i felt horrable and not signing my self out if i was going to walk home.
My mom complaining that I used the microwave and I never seen her react so strongly to anything before or since. Then they quickly stopped caring once they realize I learned how to use it without their instruction. This was pre internet so if my parents or the tv didn’t tell me then I wasn’t going to know for some reason. 1990
I actually managed to forge my dad signature on office slips many times. I made copies of a previous paper he had signed and cut out the signature part and kept it in my pockets for the whole year and used it whenever i could. I got caught and grounded for 6 months when my parents went to a parent teacher conference and the subject of me constantly being in trouble came up. Lmao
Thank you so much for your video.
We missed you
Story 51: Honestly, I really liked all the different voices, and I thought it was funny that he did one for each. I feel kinda bad saying that now because then the dude was like "...I didn't think there would be THIRTY-TWO..." XD
6:29 oh boy. im a celiac kid and like. I just brought my own stuff? it didn’t matter? this one’s really annoying to me for that reason 😭
Making 10 times more than a teacher is still not very much
Narrator!!! I missed you :)
Haha, number 53 - I'm not completely deaf, but my dad (ironically a former teacher) never bothered to learn BSL and it bugged me, even though I barely learned any once my mum, the signer as she was also HoH, had me start wearing a hearing-aid and had me going to a normal hearing school as the deaf wouldn't take me.
Still took me nearly a decade from like 4 to learn sounds and speech at an acceptable understandable level because analogue ones were crap and had a horrible quiet/muffled or loud/sharp mic, no in-between until I got a newfangled digital hearing-aid.
And I was the only one in all my schools, teachers blamed me for not listening but wouldn't accommodate past giving me a very distracted (by naughty kids) assistant XD
I guess my dad's a bad parent then. Just him left now so thirty-ish years later we basically just yell as eachother all the time, it feels like. And he's the hearing one.
53:00 I mean, at least it seems like the mom takes the issue seriously, even if she has... a very weird idea of where it came from. XD
Parents whats the most ridiculous thing teachers have said to your children?
I didn't sign slips about bad tests and stuff, we just didn't. But if my kid faked that I'd be so sad, honestly "omg bad test who cares?! Let's just fix it for next time" but I hid a tabs ticket from my dad, and I was so scared because I got a final notice to pay and didn't have the money and when I told him I was crying. If they're hiding some stupid math test from you they're going to hide something much more serious
13:09 I have ADHD and I know that is an inexcusable excuse, if your hand writing is bad or you turn it in a little bit late that is okay but not turning it in at all, that is just unacceptable. And if they have trouble retaining the information then get them a ducking tutor
My mom works in a school and told me a story of a boy (i think maybe like 6th or 7th grade at the time) who failed a test, normal right (?), well the boy and his friend went to the bathtoom and started to do a muslim (the kid was muslim) prayer meant FOR FUNERALS for him, and i dont know if you know this but prayers are suposed to be donw in CLEAN spaces like mosgues, fields, clean rooms, ect. none of which include a bathroom, anyways one of the boys kicked a door hard enough for the handle to fall off and mess up the whole lock, so my mom called the boys parents and told them what their son did and told them they need to pay to replace the lock their son broke, the parents said it wasnt his fault cause "the lock was already broken" and "he just opened it and it fell out", you want to know the funny part the boys mom wpre a hijab and wasnt alarmed (or wasnt told) that her kid prayed a mock funeral in the school bathroom
If I remember properly, there is one here on marching band, I have several stories involving marching band, but I never let it interfere with my schoolwork, actually I dropped out of it because of that, I knew my schoolwork was going to get more intense, and therefore, I wouldn’t have time for marching band or the practice there of. I know if I lived at home at the time, mom would not have let me get away with that, not that I would ever let myself get away with some of that stuff, I was a highway, discipline and highway motivated middle schooler in high schooler, it was probably because I knew the only way out was up, out of my crappy situation that is, being college
Story 35: checking someone is a verbal tell off, not that you should be speaking wildly to someone’s child, but it’s not a physical act.
The tortilla story 😂
Story 41: I am great friends with my middle school science teacher. We are both huge nerds, and we are constantly doing favors for each other, like her letting me bring in uranium ore to class and me constantly filling up her coffee cup when I deliver for our coffee shop. Get to know your teachers, people!
My father in the early 90's, after preventing a shooting by standing near a kids bag saw a parent after hearing a likely expelling was going to happen scream YOU ARE WHY HE HAS THE GUN IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU ARE SO MEAN HE OUGHTA! walking to the staff room. Turns out his mother had planted the gun to kill her, not free will of student. Dad was confused as he was the teacher.
