saw this thread on twitter, figured i'd ask it here.
for me: drawing in my notebook while the teacher was talking. he'd literally walk over to me or anyone who did it and just sternly tell us to stop while everyone else watched.
also: turning in my spelling test in the "wrong place"

I remember in the first grade when we had some kind of lunch in the cafeteria, and I tried to do a slam dunk in the trash can, kinda like a basketball player. I didn't know there was some juice in the juice box I was throwing away, and my teacher got splashed with it.
It didn't end well.

I once got in trouble for saying something really bad during recess once, I think in 7th grade? What did I say? WAFFLE. Apparently the word waffle is a swear now.
There was also this time where I got in trouble for refusing to take off my winter coat during PE in 5th grade, it did not end well. It was during spring (yeah, right; there's no such thing as spring in the Midwest) and apparently I couldn't wear my coat in PE because it was 'too hot' outside. Umm, no sir do you realize that it's colder than heck out there and inside and that I am a scrawny child with no muscle who will freeze to death inside and out? I got sent to the principal's office for the rest of the day. It was lovely, she's a really, really, really nice person. (Sarcasm; when a student comes into your office who was obviously beaten up you don't just blame it on them for getting beaten up and then having them go through discipline for the entirety of the school day so they can 'think about what they did wrong'.)

We went to this band get together/competition thing on the mainland when I was in grade 7, and our band did a workshop with this conductor dude. Anyways, he stopped the whole band to call me out for tapping my foot too hard and I cried.
In eighth grade art class the teacher put me in charge of supervising everyone as they washed their clay boards to make sure that they were actually cleaned. Maybe halfway through this process she called me over and told me off for having not wiped down my table yet and told me to clean it now. So I tidied up my table, cleaned my clay board, and b/c class had been over for like 10 mins, went to leave. Before I could get outa there she called me back AGAIN and got super p/o’ed at me because some of the boards hadn’t been totally cleaned and she was blaming it on me. I don’t remember exactly what she said, but eighth grade me was really sensitive, teacher-approval meant everything to me and I was just crushed. She made me clean all the clay boards over again as she stood and watched before she let me leave.

In kindergarten I got in trouble because another girl was screaming and my teacher thought it was me, and when I tried to tell her it wasn't me she accused me of trying to blame someone else and threatened to send me to the principals office. As a kid who was terrified of ever getting in trouble, this only made me cry.
Another time in 7th grade I got in trouble because I started drawing a picture instead of reading after I finished my work.
That next year I got sent to the principals office for eating on the school bus, which never even happened and even if it did, so what? His reasoning was that food is "too dangerous" and it causes a "safety hazard". So it's fine for kids to not wear seat belts on the bus even though seat belts are otherwise required by law, but food is where you cross the line? That makes sense.

Once I had to write a list of facts about some random person for History class. My teacher then accused me of plagiarism and gave me a bad grade because on some random website that I didn't even look at they had ONE sentence that had the same two words as a sentence in my paper. And to make it worse, they also gave my sister, (who was in the same class), a bad grade because they thought if I plagiarized something, (which I didn't even do,) my sister must've been in on it and also plagiarized her paper.
The fact that they wrote me up for plagiarizing a paper because it had two words that matched a random websites sentence and then continued to mark down my sisters grade still infuriates me greatly.

Oh boy where do I begin with this one teacher. She kept hounding me so much you would’ve thought she was my mother.
1. I had a pretty mean band director in middle school, and he made me extremely anxious. I played the trombone so naturally I had to lick my lips to play it. Unfortunately it grew into a compulsive behavior and it left my lips and a good amount of skin around them red and raw. You would’ve thought I had clown makeup on. So the teacher would always snap at me, sometimes disrupting class, to tell me to stop. And you know what that did? It only made me more anxious and lick my lips more!
2. I wasn’t the best student when it came to paying attention in class because I often found myself doodling when I was bored. This lady would also get pissed that I would doodle in my notebook instead of having my eyes glued to her while she was talking. So you know what she does? She takes my notebook and doesn’t give it back until the end of the school day. And yes, she dinged me for not taking notes even though I didn’t have a notebook to write notes in because there was no way I was going to mix civics with pre algebra (my pre algebra teacher shouldn’t have even been a teacher but that’s a rant for another day lol).
3.now this is more of a petty respect thing on my end, because it really felt like she did not respect me at all and was speaking down to me. She did something that should only be reserved for parents who are thoroughly pissed off, she called me by my full name. Yes, first middle and last name. In the middle of the hallway for all to hear. I don’t even remember what I did to piss her off that much. All I can say is that on top of the vicious rumor I was dealing with, I had to deal with people making fun of my middle name.
4. I have a history with a girl who was an On again off again friend. Mostly because my mom hated her and she had gotten me in trouble when I was much younger. So this girl is blocking me from entering the classroom by holding her arm across the doorway. So I do the logical thing and push it down. Well, my teacher saw this and she yelled at us to go to the vice principal’s office, presumably so we could be suspended or something. Thankfully my mom had called at the beginning of the year and told the vice principal that this girl was trouble and I didn’t get suspended.
5. She called my mother because I did poorly on one test. This was the ONLY bad test that year in her class mind you. My mother was furious! She chewed my ear off that evening and as it turns out my teacher had told her that I was the most disrespectful student in her class. Like seriously lady? I respected her more than I respected my band director, and that’s saying quite a lot.

In Kindergarten, I got in trouble for being left-handed. Yes, this literally happened, and my mom swears this lady was like 150 years old.
In, um...8th grade? I got in trouble for being to slow in art. I literally missed two days of school for being really sick and stayed after just to finish a project, and she wouldn't let me finish it in the end because I was to slow. Not my fault the paint didn't dry fast enough and I smudge everything.

Last year we were doing group projects in Spanish and my partner and I were discussing what we should do for the project when the teacher walked over and flat out told us to stop talking. We were talking to each other. About the project. Which she had just assigned and was giving us time to work on. That wasn’t even the first time she did it. She sat us together in the seating chart you’d think if she didn’t want us talking to each other she’d change the seating chart or tell us we weren’t allowed to work together.

I used to be in Catholic school from Pre-school to 2nd grade. I once got into trouble there for NOT SMILING. We were working on some arts & crafts thing in class one day and I got super frustrated and got upset because I couldn't come up with an idea for my project, so a teacher told me to smile. I stayed silent and continued to pout, then they kept telling me to smile. I said no, then they sent me to the office for it. I don't freakin' understand why this happened to this day. Either I am remembering this wrong, or Catholic school is really just that dumb.

The exact moment I took out my phone in the middle of class to check something, the principle walked in and saw me, then told me off- thankfully quietly so none of the class could hear- but he made me feel pretty stupid. All for glancing at my phone. Like you’d think I was purposely trying to be a bad student and was failing all my classes by his reaction.
I mean he was new so he was probably just trying to look all cool and responsible but that’s now how you do it. Being hated by your students is not doing your job well.

Oh yeah I forgot to talk about my first grade teacher!
So get this we were all lined up to go to lunch and my teacher’s teacher friend came by and they were joking around and my teacher makes a comment about leaving the kids in the classroom while they went to lunch. So guess what. She did. She turned off the light and locked the door behind her.
We all kinda sat there mumbling about what we were supposed to do. So our teacher comes back to the door a couple minutes later, and me being the line leader was the first person to see her with this irritating grin. I called her crazy and her expression changed to super pissed off and she swung open the door and yelled at me just because I called her out on her bs
Needless to say I didn’t get to go to recess and instead got a call home.

I stayed silent and continued to pout, then they kept telling me to smile. I said no, then they sent me to the office for it. I don't freakin' understand why this happened to this day. Either I am remembering this wrong, or Catholic school is really just that dumb. Sometimes my parents got mad at me for not being in a good mood because it either showed disrespect (if they told me to stop it) or if we had company it was just rude and a burden to other people. I don't remember how my teachers treated people who weren't in a good mood though, I went to a secular private school but the teachers were still pretty strict. People generally tried to be pleasant because you don't want your friends to see you acting up. I think the 'no' might have been why you got sent, it's talking back in a way, and to a strict teacher they might have none of that. The office thing might have also been for cooling off purposes. I think the dumbest thing I got in trouble at school for was not paying attention when my car number would be called. Grades K-5 have to sit all together in a room and we're not allowed to talk, we're not allowed to read, we're not allowed to do anything except sit down and listen if our car numbers are called. Our parents are given a big number and the teacher outside the school radios in the numbers she sees and those are called in the room. The teacher gets radioed in again if the student didn't listen and you aren't outside by the time it gets to the curb. I was in first grade but my kindergarten teacher noticed that I was missing my number a few times because I was daydreaming since there wasn't anything else to do. And she told me I had to sit by myself in front of everyone against the opposing wall from now on since I was missing my number so much. We usually sat with our own classes. That idea freaked me out, so after the first time that happened I told my mom I didn't want to go to school anymore because of that and she told my 1st grade teacher, who in turn tried to fix the situation. She was a very nice lady. She sent me a birthday present the following year. In second grade I got in trouble for accidentally falling off the ledge I was made to sit on. I was sitting on it with two other people and we were listening to the teacher talk about what we should do for this one school play and the other two were legit hogging the ledge and I was already sitting on the actual corner. Then I just lost my balance when I was trying to lessen the pain of sitting on the corner by shifting my weight, and fell off because my legs were too short to keep me up. The teacher then ran up to me and took my arm and led me to the front and made me face the class and apologize to everyone for fooling around and promise not to do it again. XP I already got in trouble a lot with that teacher though, but Idk why he got the impression that me falling off was me fooling around. The good news was, that when I got back to my ledge, the other kids finally moved over a bit.

Oh yes, just recalled two more incidents.
2. In 2nd grade we had a pretty big playground and I was playing with my friend Keith in a really secluded corner where no other kids were and you couldn't hear anything so you couldn't tell if the teachers said reccess was over, and no kids were playing near there so you couldn't take a hint when they started running away to line up. So we're pretending the bench is a time machine when I look up and realize that it's gone too quiet and no one's around. All the 2nd graders had to walk around the school single-file to get into the cafeteria. Keith and I ran and just made it as the last kid walked into the lunchroom. My assistant tchr, who was holding the door open, gave us a telling-off that shouldn't have been inflicted on an elventh-grader, then she went and told my other tchr who gave us the same.
3. I didn't get in trouble for this one, but I suffered and my tchr should have. I even wrote a personal narrative on it in 6th grade. So usually my sister and I took a bus to and from school in 2nd grade, but for some reason or other my parents wanted to pick us up in the car that day and called and informed my and my little sis' tchrs. So end of day comes and I'm waiting in line for the bus, don't see my sis. Ask her tchr where she's gone, and the tchr says my parents picked her up in the car. I was stewing at the unfairness of it as I hopped onto the bus. I got home and rang the doorbell 20 times with no answer. Instead of freaking out, I went and rang the neighbors' doorbells, but they didn't answer either (I was that sensible in 2nd grade? Still can't wrap my head around it). Then, my parents' car came barelling down the street and I saw my sister chatting with my baby brother. The funny thing is I only started crying at that moment, bc my sister had gotten a ride home but my parents apparently forgot about me. That wasn't the case, however. My teacher had forgotten to tell me that my parents were going to pick me up.
And that, my friends, is why my second grade teacher is not my favorite teacher!

I don't know if this is really dumb? I thought it was at the time and I still do. I had a lip ring, still do, and my principal hated it. No teacher cared and let me wear it in class, he's the only one who told me I couldn't until I graduated. Well, I graduated a semester early and had to come back for some ceremony(Not my walk but something else, I think Senior Breakfast?) and the principal grilled into me that I couldn't wear it. I told him I had graduated, other adults could wear theirs, etc, he didn't care. He changed his tune and told me that if I was on school property and technically didn't have my diploma in hand(They didn't get the diplomas until the night of our walk, so I had a piece of paper for jobs saying I was a high school graduate) that I'd have to keep it out. Jokes on him, put it right back in when he turned around. I know school is meant to prepare your for the workplace and all that fun jazz, but it was barely noticeable. Most girls wore shorts that barely covered anything yet he never said a word to them. Oh well.
Another time from when I switched to this school in Middle School. They accepted me, saw me, then first day I got sent to the counselor's office because my hair was green. They told me I couldn't come into class until I changed it back, my dad came in and told them I was just supporting school colors. They couldn't do much because it wasn't in the rule book but still pretty dumb considering they knew my hair was green but waited until my first day of class to tell me I couldn't have it that way.
