Dogmeat posted:At least at my university it was generally brought up in most edu courses that there might come times you gotta lay hands on someone and they showed us a few elbow holds and stuff that will probably not get you sued into oblivion. But it was very much stressed that it's a judgement call you can only make in the situation and to be pretty drat sure of your district's insurance policies or coverage. I got just "crisp cross" all the time  Of course I was also in the transitional period where the two were interchangeable so...

My school had/has a black/white everything. Prom queen/king, student body president, etc, etc. I didn't think about it at the time but that must be kinda frustrating for the hispanic/asian kids.

Criss-cross apple sauce is great with my 2 year old because it's a call and response. I say, "Criss-cross!" and then he corrects his sitting position and shouts back, "Apple sauce!" and it's a fun little game we play before I go back to reading the forums on my phone and he goes back to his mother for attention.

Mimesweeper posted:That happened to be once in elementary school in the 90s, I was drinking from the water fountain and all of a sudden a couple dudes grabbed me from behind and a couple more started beating the poo poo out of me. I never saw any of them and to this day I have no idea why it even happened. After my first "bully" incident in grade school, my pop took us to the Morris Park Boxing Club in the Bronx to learn how to fight. We were the only kids there. Place is a very serious boxing club & at first they said no way, no kids, but they relented after telling them my bully episode & our promise to train hard. Let me tell you, boxers are awesome dudes. It felt like I had 10 different trainers & they got us up to speed in weeks. They taught us a LOT about fighting dirty as gently caress. It took about 3 more bully fights & 1 massive brawl when they attempted to jump my little brother to retaliate against me after a fight. Got a 2 week suspension for that but my pop kept me training extra while suspended. When I went back to school my confidence was soaring & I got a lot of leery looks from people. Best part was that the nonsense had completely stopped.

I wish something like that would have happened to me. When I asked my parents why people would do that they told me "they're jealous because you're better than them, you're smarter than them." That attitude sure worked great for the rest of my school career.

This one time in 10th grade we got just a free hour to paint anything on a big piece of construction paper. Instead of trying to paint an actual image because I’m completely inept, I just kinda played around with mixing colors. I’d make a color I thought looked pretty cool then add more that I thought would look cool. I wound up with basically a large blob that was mainly a shade of dark purple that I can’t describe well besides that I thought it was a neat looking color and so did other students that looked over saying “hey that color looks cool” I found out years later that that painting became the main subject of some kind of meeting that resulted in me ending up at a school where all windows are barred, all doors are locked, everyone gets checked for weapons going in and stolen items going out, and kids getting tackled by grown ups were a daily occurrence. Because you see, this darkness is obviously how I feel inside.

I mean, I nearly landed in one because i was a young, stupid, new boy scout who was excited about knives. Who then accidentally brought one to school, didn't realize that people would view it as a weapon, and uses it to help clean off an old science fair board so I could reuse it. Apparently I was a deranged individual the school threatened to to send to the alternative school because my swiss army knife's saw blade was longer than 5 inches. My teacher had turned the knife over to the office thinking they would just keep it until the end of the day like a phone.

If somebody ever did that to my computer I think I’d go insane with rage. Like blackout for 2 days and carve a path of absolute death and destruction insane. I don’t even think I have anything incriminating on there, I just hate people taking and/or going through my stuff.

The overcrowded dump of a high school in my hometown pulled some serious bullshit after a couple seniors went down to Mexico for spring break. They were both 18 so they had their first legal beers with their parents at a bar and posted pictures to MySpace. When the administration found out they said their zero tolerance drug and alcohol policy extended anywhere on the planet regardless of legality and immediately tried to expel them just weeks shy of graduation. These weren’t even party crowd kids, they were both straight A band nerds. The school only backed down after their parents hired lawyers and threatened to sue and settled on suspensions instead.

Should have kept suing and threatening until the school issued a public apology. I thought about wearing my uniform after graduation and taking a photos at pubs and stuff but I'm a weenie and it was before social media days so there'd be no point anyway.

Once a kid got caught with a loaded gun and xans in his backpack and his excuse was that he saw them laying on the ground while he walked to school and thought the best thing to do was just stick them in his rucksack and carry on.

Kids all mythologizing the early 80s as a period of lawless violence, like we used to do with the old west Good ol' Chas Murphy, fastest gun south of the lunchroom, dispensing frontier justice at the point of his dad's .22 Buckmark, dodging the corrupt hall monitors Actually didn't Awesome Hair Guy or the missing kid's Stalkery Brother get their hands on a gun at some point in Stranger Things?
