Anyone ever got sent down to the office?
For bad behaviour?
I have been sent down to the office once in grade 4 or 5 (I forgot when). It was kinda stupid though, I didn't do anything bad. It was lunch time and someone in the class had this fake knife made of cardboard because we were studying medieval times in history and it was props.
So I started to pretend to fight with the other person and she was holding onto the cardboard knife and I used my arm to block the knife. We were doing it just for fun. Then, the music teacher who was on duty told us to go down to the office. I didn't get a phone call home though. That was the only time I got sent down to the office. I had been threatened to get sent down to the office other times and was even threatened to get suspended in grade 7 (if anyone wants to hear the story just PM me).
When I cannot hear the teacher sometimes I would open my mouth so I could hear her better. I do not now why but it worked. This idiot sitting next to me imitate me and make noises like he was a ret*d. I waited for him to close his eyes while he was doing it so i stook my ass in his face and let her rip. It sounded like a chainsaw and the whole class including the teacher laughed their asses off. The kid got the full blast with his mouth open, the fart was so loud people said he jumped because of it. What can I say I am a classy guy (Perhaps gassy guy)
I kind of did. People made jokes about me getting in trouble, because I never did. I never got a detention or anything. But one day I did this thing called the "day of silence" (click for info) and I was sent to the office. They told me I wasn't allowed to do it.

One time in 2nd grade, one of my friends and I were playing in the sandbox, which was at the very end of the yard. The bell rang, which meant that recess was over. I told my friend, "I don't want to go back inside. I wish we could keep playing here." She replied, "Who says we have to? Let's keep playing!" We continued to play, when several minutes later, a 6th grader approached us. "Aren't you supposed to go back inside?" he asked. "We don't want to," I said. "I'm going to tell the yard duty on you!" said the 6th grader. ("yard duty" is what we called the playground supervisors) He ran away and, sure enough, he came back with two yard duties in tow. My friend and I tried to run away from them, but they caught us by the arms. "you're in big trouble missy," said the yard duty who caught me. My friend and I got sent to the office and got pink slips. I cried the rest of the day.
Another time in 9th grade, I was hanging out with a group of friends and we were hanging out by the fence that overlooked the street. Everytime a car passed by, my friends would yell and make faces at the people inside the cars. I didn't participate. The people in the office were getting complaints, so all of us got called in. They interviewed each of us. I ratted out my friends, because at the time I didn't know there was a social rule that says you're not supposed to do that. When we went back outside, ne of my friends said, "all right, which one of you ratted me out?" I immediately lied and said I didn't do it, and he said "of course you didn't. You'd never do something like that." I feel guilty about that to this day, especially since I learned that my friends all told the principal that I had nothing to do with what they were doing.
Only 20+ times, mostly mouthing off to teachers, along with one incident when teachers got fed up with my keep lines orderly in 2nd grade through "slightly unconventional" means.
There also this really stupid one where I got 1hr detention for saying a**hold in class loud anough for $authority to hear (this was 7th grade and I didn't know it was a cuss word)

On the day of our Valentine's party in the 6th grade, I was in the cafeteria. My class was being very loud, so one of the preschool teachers said to us that she would have our party canceled if we didn't quiet down. I said, though not loud enough for her to hear, "you're not our teacher," and, apparently, one of the lunch monitors overheard me and told the 6th grade teachers. When we all lined up at the end of lunch, one of the teachers asked us who said it, and I answered that I did. I was sent to the office and got lectured by the vice principal (who was actually surprised that I said such a thing, because I was otherwise mostly well-behaved). On the bright side, I still got to go to the party.
Well I've been in the office one more than one occasion and this maybe will tell you how my life in school was...
3rd Grade - Playing football with everyone and a kid told me I couldn't play and shoved me near swingsets that had pebbles near the slide...I cut my one hand open and my elbow and then ran toward the kid and threw him down by his hoodie on his jacket...What I ended up doing was when I pulled his zipper went into his throat and he bled too...of course no one saw the initial contact so "He did it first didn't work." I had to personally apoligize to the kid in front of his whole class (the principle made me) I was so pissed.
6th Grade - Well many times for me in my first year in middle school. Worst year in terms of school for me, I did horrible, almost failed because of all this...
*Got in a fight with a kid who shoved me into the locker for no reason. I was already having a bad day and he just did it to pick on me. I started beating the piss out of him until a bigger kid who failed twice and was supposed to be in 8th grade kicked the s**t out of me.
*I farted a few times in my classes because everyone laughed and I got kicked out and sent down once.
*When a substitute was in our Science class, a kid said he was me when I was in the bathroom during attendance and acted like a jerk. The sub wrote a note and the next day I got in trouble while no one spoke up.
*This one tops the cake...I stopped doing my farting thing before school ended and everyone seemed to forget, until one dreaded day. We had an "team awards" banquet in one of the rooms (Our grade was split up into 2 teams with different teachers for each subject, but the teachers were all working together) anyway we gathered in the english and social studies room as the divider between the rooms was opened. I would say about 70 kids were in the room and the English teacher (female) and Science teacher (male) who I had the most problems with said this
English teacher: "Oh we have one more award I forgot about."
Science teacher: "This years 'Silent but Deadly' award goes to JP88"
Everyone burst into laughter, even the teachers except for one. I got up crying and slammed the door as the Science teacher said "It was only a joke"
Well we wrote a letter and the next morning, the 2 teachers had to apoligize and they were warned that another thing like this would = termination (The English teacher cried, lmfao...I got my revenge, hehe)
8th Grade - This kid who had a rep for being a troublemaker and thinking he was tough tried to mess with me during gym class outside because I pegged him in the face on accident trying to peg him out in kickball...He was safe because head shots didn't count and while we were on 1st base he started talking crap and syaing he was gonna beat the sh*t outta me because I had no respect or somethin'...so he shoved me and I shoved back telling him to cool it...I recently started taking Tae-Know-Do and he threw a punch that I blocked and took him down. Of course that's all the gym teacher saw as we struggled on the ground but afterwards I got cleared and he got in trouble because of his rep.
9th Grade - In my math class I was heavily picked on and especially for having acne. It seemed like it didn't matter what type of clique they were in everyone ganged up on me...They tried tricking me by making me say things I didn't mean...one kid actually acted out his sexual fantasy and forced me to touch this girls tit, in which I got in trouble for. Then we would have the person sit next to us write on a sheet if we were absent and put it in the bin for the next day. Whoever it was who did it was one of the bullies and they would draw a picture on the back of everyone of a stick figure with a lot of hair and dots for my acne all over my face. So one day I brought all the pictures down and told the principal everyone who could have done it.
So yeah you can see know why I fail at everything...I was the school reject and that's why I have no confidence, self-esteem and can't talk to girls.
I got sent to the office a lot in 4th and 5th grade. Mostly for being out spoken. I've always thought that the notion of children are to be seen and not heard was a bunch of BS.
The last time I got sent to the office was over two years ago, towards the end of eighth grade. This as*hole was rubbing me the wrong way and I told him to "f**k off and die." I got a one day out of school susspension. Normally, at the school I went to, if we got an out of school, we were stripped of our privilages for the rest of the term. But, since I am a good kid otherwise, I was allowed to go on the class trip and to the eighth grade dance.

I only actually got sent to the office once, when I was in 3rd grade, but the principal did threaten to suspend me if something similar happened in the future. My teacher and I had been having some problems, and she took me to a meeting with the guidance counselor before that. Honestly, I think it was just a matter of miscommunication between the two of us, and we liked each other a lot by the end of the school year.
From about kindergarten to 5th grade, though, my parents would get at least one call a year from the school (and once even from church) being like "your daughter's doing something weird again". I guess there were even more calls from the school that my parents just didn't even tell me about, but on the days when my mom would tell me (read: yell at me) about the call home, it had usually been a particularly bad day, and I had had a sense that there might be a call coming...
As for detentions, I only got one once, in seventh grade - because of an assignment I didn't turn in on time, because the printer wasn't working .
All the time. I liked going to the office because I could get out of the classroom. I got suspended a lot and even acted up to get suspended. I had an inschool suspention once but was allowed to color and draw picutures and my teacher even had an animal magazine brought in and told me to pick any animal and write three facts about it. A reward to me. I forget why I had an inschool suspention but I remember enjoying it. I evetually couldn't take the bullying and scapegoating anymore and began to act up in any way I could, hoping I would get permentally expelled. I never had detentions but if I did it would have tramatised me even more becuase I had a severe phobia of being left behind or forgotton and even refused to go to the science fair because it was being held after school hours. If the school bus was late, I had meltdowns and panic attacks. The bus once broke down and I have an epic panic attack. It didn't help the other kids knowing I was so destressed and telling me we were going to be there all night. The busdriver told me to stop it. I was just in tears from terror and he even bullied me about my panic attack. Even as single dentention would have messed me up in the head even more than I already am from pubic school.

I'm not weird, you're just too normal.
In Kindergarten-Grade 2, I got sent down to the office at least once a week. It was because I had a meltdown, 80% of the time. It didn't really help that much. I hated the chair I had to sit in (the "bad kid" chair) and when I didn't sit in that chair, I sat on a soft bench near the janitor's room and the noise of the heater, also freaked me out.
However, I have been sent down to the office for other reasons as well. I haven't been sent down to the office at all in high school and got sent down twice in middle school..
