Well. This is ridiculous.

So, I had to go to the orthodontist on Wednesday. I had missed a couple of classes due to the waiting period at the dental offices. I also missed a few assignments. My teachers said they would excuse me from these assignments, meaning that I would get full credit for it. Well, now that it's this week, I was just put academic probation. Why? Because my teachers [b]didn't excuse me from the assignments because all of them said, "I forgot." Plus, when they did not, my grades all plummeted. [/b]Academic probation is where you have to spend your lunch trying to bring your grades up. I have told the teacher who runs the academic probation my case, he believes me, but he won't let me out.

Why don't you just tell your parents or something? It's a pretty immature way to depend on your parents, but schools and their staff don't give about what students say. They'd listen to a parent because they can actually make bad things happen to the school. Well, that's how it is here.

You should live with it and avenge yourself in the future years.

That is ridiculous.
You might have to live with it. Teachers like pulling that kind of garbage out of nowhere.

You should go straight up to the teachers who did that and ask them whatever happened. Maybe your principal is kind enough to listen to your case if your teachers won't. Have you tried that?

Oooooo~ So many times to share...

One that happened to a good friend of mine:
Start of the day, waiting for school to begin, my friends and I were sitting in our school cafeteria being bored. Someone got the idea to wrap up a plastic milk bottle in tin-foil, and then throw it into the trash whilst shouting "Bomb". So, my friend wrapped up an empty bottle, shouted bomb, and the bottle fell off the side of the trash to land on one of our schools Administrators on her foot. He didn't get in trouble for having shouted bomb. He was suspended for ten days because the Administrator had said "The bottle had been thrown with such force it could have killed me. I am lucky it had just hit my foot.".

A very close friend of mine was written up because a teacher was intimidated by his physical build. She had been asking him to get off the edge of a wall, and he simply stated that nowhere in the school rules does it say he can't sit down on it. After a few moments of going back and forth, his patience was dwindling, but he kept control of his growing anger. He told her he was getting a little aggravated, and asked for her to leave him be for a bit so he could calm down. Moved himself from the top of the wall to a seat. A minute passed by and another Administrator came to him, to let him know the teacher wrote him up for scaring her. Being 'written up' means you get a detention is all. Even if you control yourself, teachers can still put you in bad light when no bad light was needed at all.

Aside from situations that could fill a novel, here is my own personal issue going on right now:
My school has wanted me to be in classes that I can not gain credit from, due to their 'absent limit' rule. When you are sick a number of times, or miss a class for a number of times for some reason, not just your grade goes down - Your chance of being able to get the credit does as well. I have a huge issue when it comes to concentrating on my school work. It doesn't mean I'm mentally incapable of it, I just can't concentrate on getting it done for my life. After the past three years of my intelligence being insulted, called worthless or told I am throwing my life away, my school has finally listened. Sadly they have chosen to suspend me for the past month. The suspension is not technically "real". They pretty much told my parents to keep me home until a meeting they set up was finished. I may be expelled due to the lack of care my school has provided for the past three years of my life. All the credits I was able to obtain have been taken away, and all the classes I had last semester that I had a chance of passing were thrown away due to the school not counting the past month as an actual suspension.

School's in America generally don't care. If their job is at stake, they ignore what the student has to say and do what they think is best for the moment or right for said student. The story of the plastic milk bottle was more for entertainment, last two were to show how ridiculous schools can be. Or how much of lack of care they have.

When idiots ruin my fun of discussing issues such as gay marriage, abortion, and wether transgenders and the such can get equal treament.

They just laugh, say they shouldn't and don't back it up.

What's worse, my government studies teacher sides with them.

Only people who backs me up is the lesbian in our class, her friends, so that makes 3.

Me, her, and her friend.

Versus the teacher and 8 jocks.

Does it suprise me?

Everyone of us are of the same race. Because someone looks different, or has different preferences than another does not mean they should be treated any differently. They want proof? Point towards slavery and how white's treated blacks back then.(I'm white, so no one is confused)

Being told what you prefer is "wrong", is wrong unto itself. You can not order someone to like or dislike anything. They choose if they like or dislike anything, themselves. People need to stop being biased with their opinions. Normally, the thought of being with the same sex to heterosexuals can send an unpleasant feeling through their body...which creates a lot of friction between those who prefer to be with someone of the same gender. That is one of the things I have noticed give a drive, a reasoning, to one's actions.
