funny school stories

do you have any funny school stories to share?

when I was at school, I made up a homework song called " I hate my homework", and when ever the teacher would give me some I'd start singing it (it just listed all the possible reasons why I couldn't do it). I don't have any paper, I don't have a pen, I have a dog that might eat it, I don't have the information, the teacher would get absolutely exasperated with the endless excuses
but I loved it. it made me laugh

When I was in the 2nd grade my teacher (an old lady) tied me to a chair with red string because I kept getting up & down.(Maybe ADHD?)

I made a mess of my schools library in kindergarten. I didn’t mean to it was just I took books out and I didn’t remember where they came from so I just put them wherever. The librarian came in and yelled at us. She didn’t know it was me who made the mess. The next week we had to have a lesson on how to be appropriate in the library

In 4th grade I went to school feeling sick. But I didn’t tell my mom. Then I felt a bit better at lunch so I ate my lunch and it was ice cream day so I had an ice cream sandwich too. Then after lunch I felt very sick all of a sudden. And I said to my teacher “I don’t feel good!” Then I threw up all over the floor, the garbage can, and myself. The teacher was so freaked out. I went home and stayed home the next day.

I also threw up in school in 5th grade. It was a big deal and the teacher made me run to the bathroom and I started to heave in the hallway on the janitors shoes and he told me to go to the bathroom. So I got into the bathroom and puked my guts out. There was someone in the bathroom when I was in there but she was gone by the time I was done. I left home early that day too. Apparently I made several other kids in my class nauseated by the show I put on.

I got the flu in 7th grade and I had to tell my science teacher I wasn’t feeling good. This was when I was having a lot of behavior issues at school and it was actually about 2 weeks before I ended up in the hospital for the first time. But the teacher who I didn’t get along with looked super concerned. I must have looked like hell. Then I went to the nurse and my mom was immediately called to come get me. That was on a Tuesday and I stayed home the rest of the week. That Wednesday I was begging my mom to let me go to school. I have no idea why I wanted to go. But I had a fever of 103. my mom and my brother and I all got it real bad. And my dad was in the hospital for unrelated things. That’s when he was starting to get sick. My aunt had to bring food over for us because we couldn’t cook. I ended up missing a lot of the schools state testing that was going on.

What fun times I had in school.

I was a good student, but sometimes a bit of a challenge, behaviorally. I had a number of run ins with teachers, and even had no qualms about waging formal complaints about them, when I thought it right. Even as young as 8 years old. Or, arguing with them to their face, in front of the other students. Yes, I was one of the students sent to the corner, forced to write sentences 100 times, sent to hallway, sent to the principal's office, given the paddle, held in after school suspension, forced a couple times into weekend suspension, where I had to do sweeping of leaves at the school, or similar.

one of my teachers had a magic drawer

if you were good in class, you'd get a peace of candy from the drawer

well, I constantly took from the drawer each time I was in that room

funny thing: it got filled up on a weekly bases with new candy, but she never noticed anything missing

one time I borrowed book from the school library. I liked it so much that I peeled off the sticker with the name of the school on it, and replaced it with a sticker with my name

I never got suspended in elementary school but I got in school suspension at my Jr. high twice. Which didn’t bother me because I was giving zero ****s anyways at that time plus in school suspension was pretty fun because it was a small quite room and I didn’t have to deal with any BS from the “good” kids who were giving me trouble. When I went to an alternative school for the first couple months of 8th grade they asked my mom to pick me up a couple of times because of my behavior issues. Then in high school when I was in a treatment center I got a number of 1-3 day in school and out of school suspensions. Which I always loved because going to school was just super anxiety provoking for me and I loved being by myself at the treatment center with just the morning staff. I finally calmed down during my Junior and Senior years of high school which were at 2 different schools.

In preschool I couldn’t talk or communicate very well. And I spilled milk on my pants at snack time and the teachers thought I peed my pants. But I wasn’t able to tell them it was just milk and they made me change into some other pants. Which were like green corduroy ones. The bus driver had to tell my mom what happened because my mom was confused because I never had an accident before.

But in kindergarten I got locked in my classrooms bathroom and a kids parent who was there had to open the door. It scared me so badly that in first grade I was so scared of getting locked in the bathroom despite that the bathroom were stalls, that I did end up peeing my pants. To this day I have public bathroom anxiety because of the incident in kindergarten. Whenever I tell my therapists about it they try really hard not to laugh.

I never did swimming class

when ever it was swimming, I would just pretend that I needed the toilet really badly- and each time I did it, the teacher would say to me, well, we don't want you to have to have an accident in the pool, so I guess you're excused

ditto math class. I used to give myself a nosebleed just before math and the teacher would send me directly to the nurse's office

one time I put a coin in the microwave to show my " apreciation", for making cookies. lol

I got bad nosebleeds almost every day for most of junior high and high school. They were caused by the anti-depressant I was taking, but I didn't realize there were other options (I was just a kid). And the med worked for the depression, so I just had to deal with the nosebleeds. They did not hurt, but were embarrassing.

one time in spanish class, we had a substitute teacher called cathy

she came in, sat at the front of the class and went.... well, boys and gals, I don't know any spanish, so I guess you all do what you want for the next hour

and we did!. exactly what we want

our art teacher was a bit of a pushover too. the kids would bring music to listen to in class, or their library books and he'd be like sure, okay, what ever

One time I got in trouble in high school for eating Cheetos behind someone's car so that they couldn't leave the parking lot. Haha. Haven't thought about that one in a while. But I have a ton of stories.

When I was in the 5th grade, two boys, Johnny & Steve, were always teasing & pulling pranks on me. One time they got into my lunch sack & put paper in my sandwich & I didn't know it till I took a bite & pulled the paper out with my teeth, & they were behind me laughing. And they made cootie catchers with folded up paper & would grab at my hair with them & claim they were getting rid of the cooties in my hair.

one time in assembly, the headmistress asked everyone what they liked about school.

you had all the regular answers: the teachers, spending time with my friends, learning skills for the future,

and when it was this gal rebecca's turn, she went up to the front and said oh, well, I just can't wait to get out

so amusing!. not for the head it wasn't, but it was for us

I had a maths teacher who had anger issues (not funny in itself, but in the context of this story, it was to me), and in this particular class was a kid with, I want to say ADHD or something. I never found out what exactly, but he was quite hyperactive and sometimes did weird things - on this occasion, he was putting rubber bands round his head and making faces etc, and I could see the teacher just staring at him, obviously getting angrier but instead of yelling he must have been doing that counting to 10 thing under his breath. It was just the juxtaposition of someone getting really annoyed, but not doing anything, and someone being annoying and oblivious to everything that stuck with me.
At my second high school, one history lesson, our long suffering teacher lectured us about our behaviour for several minutes. Just after he finished, one of the Christmas decorations (a shiny foil/plastic type one that spread out like an elaborate concertina, but collapsed into a neat, flat square) fell off the ceiling and landed in a neat pile on his desk. The timing was perfect; it broke the tension in the classroom and kind of ruined the effect he was going for lol.

one time in music class, our music teacher asked us to compose an entirely original peace on the keyboard, and be really creative with it. she said think about if you were writing a movie, what would the music sound like

after everyone had gone about their work, I walked up to her and asked if it was okay if I just played round and round the garden. she shot me a look as if to say ah.. but someone's all ready done that, and then realising she wasn't going to get anything out of me she sighed and was like okay, if you must. let's hear you do round and round the garden

so when it came time for all the music, everyone presented original, creative work (some with even added sound affects)

and then their's me playing round and round the garden medieval style.
teacher didn't like it at all and said I was really uncreative and shouldn't be in the class.

at the end of math class, our math teacher would always say to us and don't forget kids, squares have 3 sides.

well 1 day the headmistress overheard her, came in unannounced without knocking, cleared her throat and was like um, kids, a square has 4 sides- and proceeded to show us a 4 sided square

the math teacher looked generally shocked, and it didn't get better when the headmistress looked at her and said (so we all could hear) you know what alison?. you should be ashamed of yourself.

one time in geography, we were learning about rainforests. our teacher, sally, made us listen to a cd about them, and then at the end asked questions about what we'd just heard.

well 1 lunchtime I went in to the room and took the cd out of her drawer without her knowing

when it was time for geography, sally really didn't know what to do. she couldn't find the disk, anywhere

and because of it we had to have a free lesson

lol it was great

for the record, our teachers always liked it if we called them by their first names, not ms, or mr, etc.

we had 1 science teacher who insisted we called her ms simpson, but everyone else was okay about using first names

I've never heard of it before.. did that happen at your school?

In my first high school, we used to sing pop songs instead of hymns/Lord’s Prayer/teacher presentations on topics they thought we would find interesting or should know about, like we did all in the other schools I’d been to. That was pretty cool, though nobody else really believed me when I told them about it. Also, when we did running lessons there, the teacher set them up them like treasure hunts - you’d have a map and run around the school grounds looking for clues pegged to things (I don’t remember the exact details, I just know I really enjoyed them compared to the running lessons at my second high school, because the focus was on running itself and it was dead boring, not to mention more difficult for me).

we did something like that 1 year.

we had to follow the clues to find our lunch- a sandwich, a packet of chips, a yogourt and a drink

what ever we had when our time was up (an hour), that was our lunch
