Funny Detention Stories

<---- Never had detention. *bats eyelashes innocently*

No, I'm serious. Never.

I do know my eldest got his first kiss in detention. I have to wonder exactly what kind of punishment it is to leave a teenage boy and girl alone in a room for an entire day.

I ran into one of my former teachers one day about 5 years ago. (I actually pulled her over speeding....this was when I worked patrol.) We recognized each other. She said she always thought I'd be in the back of a police car and not driving one!

After high school my friends were surprised I didn't go into LE.

I always joked, "Are you kidding? I'd never make it past the psych exam."

Believe it or not, I was a bit of a smarta$$ in my youth.

Shocking.

My mother always claimed I put my kindergarten teacher into retirement. I once tied my grade school teacher to the flag pole.

High school, however, was detention as far as I was concerned. I had to wait for that final bell to ring before I was free to be me.

I'm the opposite. My filter has deteriorated over the years.

I, uh, "supplied" glue sticks to some other kids in class and got detention for that. By supplied, I mean gave them 2 glue sticks, the old tube ones that never worked very well, and they cut off chunks and threw the glue at the ceiling.

I think that was the only time I ever got detention. Like Maryn, I thought plenty of things that would've got me in trouble, but rarely said them.

LOL. I think this may have been why they only suggested it when we had a substitute teacher.

I lived fifty miles from school. Twenty miles of gravel road, thirty miles of highway/streets, and a 72' Camaro with more engine under the hood than I should've had. I also had a penchant for being late.

Once I hit that highway I put the pedal down to make up time. Almost every time there would be the same Highway Patrolman going the other way.

He'd point at me and shake his finger.

Maybe my lack of detention wasn't so much that I was a good kid, as I was a really lucky one.

Brady, I was a perfect angel in school.

Well, that's what you get for not doing your homework!

I doubt that.

It's true. I was very shy and quiet in school.

Sat Nam! (literally "Truth Name"--a Sikh greeting)

I never got detention either. (Got straight A's, making the A on Hester's breast my shining star. It was much the same isolation.)

I never got in trouble 'cause I never got caught...

I always did thing in front of the teachers and staff that should have gotten my ass in trouble, but I did it such a way that they couldn't do anything about it. Like talking back in, insinuating something, but simply stating nothing at all.

At lunch, my friends in the drama club hung out in a certain cove outside and we'd start big songs with forty people singing all at once.
One time, we sang "Saint James Infirmary" kicking for bass and Rob sang lead while standing on a planter in the middle of the courtyard. The principal (we called him Cherry, for his bald red head), was so pissed, but with 100+ students in the song, he couldn't do anything about it.

This discussion reminds me of The Breakfast Club. Not sure how well that film has held up over the years, but I enjoyed it a lot when it was first released.

The dean of my high school once told me that I was the brightest student he'd ever met who was stupid enough to get into as much trouble as I did. He'd had a long career up to that point, so I took it as a compliment.

No fun stories from school detention I'm afraid. Little-Miss-Goodie-Twoshoes, Teacher's pet here.

Mine too. I find the older I get the less I care and the more I speak my mind, espeacially the smarta$$ stuff.

My problem is that my mother is a retired elementary school teacher and I am married to a high school teacher. So here I am in my 30s and I STILL get in trouble with teachers on an almost daily basis.

Bless your mom and your wife. I find it frustrating to teach the new trainees - I couldn't handle a room full of high school kids.

My brother and his wife are both teachers. As is the former Mrs. BradyH1861.

I'm the black sheep in the family.

Bet being the black sheep makes you good at your job.
