What did (or does) your school do when you get in trouble?

we get what are called 'white slips'. They are really bright yellow. get 1, your parents gotta sign it and bring it back and show the teacher that 'wrote you up'. then show your homeroom teacher and give it to her. get three white slips and get a detention. get 3 detentions, or 9 yellow slips, you get an in-school suspension, which involves them giving you and a sub a room for yourselves, and him/her teaching you everything you would normally do that day. also, you must pay WITH YOUR OWN MONEY, not your parents, for the sub. get 3 Inschoolers, or 9 detentions, or 27 white slips, you get a 2-day, (i think), out of school suspenion. I have 1 white slip this year and one last.

try to carry a web cam or get a friend of yours to get pics the next time these schmucks hit you. THEN you make copies of everything and go to the school. if the school doesn't do anything you sue them and have the jerk offs charged with assault and battery.\n\nVin

Time to get the parents involved.  Authorities will listen to complaints from parents directed to the right person.  Try to get them to contact the Principal or the school Superintendent.  If this is affecting the students, this must be dealt with properly and quickly.

The best way to deal with a school fight, if you aren't in danger of getting any permanent damage is to smile and say nothing. You aren't going to win anything except momentary points with the rest of the idiots standing there waiting to see somebody get hurt/ expelled and then you are either the loser or the winner with egg on your face. Make the person who started it feel so stupid you couldn't possibly be worth the effort it would take to kick your azz and then get out of jail...and yes, I have been there, but it wasn't worth the hassle, now that I look back on it.

Why are you even talking to the school, get your butt to the top of the Board of Ed. You know the saying "the sqeaky tire gets the oil"? If you dont get onto these people, the school will try to push it under a rug. Go to the top and start yelling!!!!!!

My school has played on really crappy feilds and no one has done anything about it so i'm guessing there is no regulation

education is never fun but, your school has to have something good about it. Find what that is and try to be apart of it

When my class is getting a little crazy. I don't try to stop everyone, I randomly pick one or two kids that are misbehaving and punish them. This tactic normally scares the crap out of my students and they've gotten better at noticing when I get that crazy look in my eye.

I have trouble with the strictness at my school.  As much as I understand it, it's really a bummer for us kids that are actually well-behaved, you know?  *sighs*  It's sad...

As a principal myself, I know that what you say can happen.  I have worked with principals who were on a power trip of some kind.  \n\nIf you really feel that you are being treated unfairly, be sure to keep documentation of what the principal is not supporting you on.  If you are not a member of your state's professional teaching organization, I would recommend that you join.  Most state organizations will provide legal advice and even go with you to meet with the principal and probably the personnel director.\n\nYou may want to change schools if that is an option for you.  We are not all bad.\n\nOne last thing may be to do some self examination to see if there may be a grain of truth to what the principal is saying.\n\nAs educators we owe it to our students to be the best at what we do.  As a principal I owe it to students and teachers to work with teachers to help them reach their highest potential.\n\nHope this helps

That is a dangerous situation. I think that the school is not handling it seriously enough and I don't think cramming children into one room is going to solve the problem, it is going to make it even more dangerous if something does occur, where is everyone going to go and so on and so forth. \nI think more than just suspension should be taking place. That is like a slap on the hand. I think it should be more like jail time. Look at the two from Columbine, weren't they suspended too? \n\nIf that was my child, I would not be bringing her back to that school, I would definately be looking into home schooling either by me or by a private tutor. \n\nI will be putting my children into home schooling. By the time they are to that school age I am afraid that is what it is going to boil down to.

I was in the 6th grade sitting in class when All off the sudden I got this very strange warm but wet feeling. Of course at the time I didn't know what was happening, but I knew something wasn't right. I asked my teacher numerous times if I could be excused to go to the rest room and her reply was no because we were in the middle of testing. Well, I began to  become agitated because I kept getting this feeling. My teacher became angry with me and told me that I had detention after school along with my crush who was sitting right next to me. She ordered us to write "I will not disrupt the class" 600 times and when we were done to bring it to her desk; then after-wards we could be excused. I finished my work before my crush did. (he was so cute) I got up and looked in my seat and sat back down because I was shocked by what I saw. My teacher got up from her desk and asked if I were done and I said no which I was. She came over to check and said "yes you are, and now you may go home". I must have sat there about 20 minutes before I got up. She forced me to leave and my crush laughed out loud while I ran out of the class room straight to the nurses office who had gone home for the day. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

if the school was negligent or did not take reasonable care to prevent an injury.Accidents do happen.\nThe burden of proof is on you.

As there are so many rules and regulations for teachers and staff at schools they can't do much. I am not making excuses at all for them as I was bullied while in school and nothing was done. The worst thing that the school can do is chuck the muppets out but thats really what the bullies want. \nI think teachers, parents and students should come together to figure out an effective way of dealing with the problems that occur in school hours and after. That way if the parents back the school then the school will not get into trouble for what they are doing.\n\nI dont they would ever become your boss, I help run a company and I know that the people who used to bully me are sat at home doing nothing but getting fat!

Only if you want to be suspended, expelled, and/or prosecuted by the full extent of the law. Seriously, some guys got suspended recently for EATING THE TEACHER'S COOKIES. No joke.
