Evil Teachers meet Evil Kids

[DepthBlade]

Today the Jazz band held a indoor barbeque for fundraisers for their trip to some place. Well our principle recently put some money down on new security cameras and now our highschool is covered in them you can\'t walk in any hallway without seeing one on both ends, for all I know we could have one in the bathrooms now but I have not checked yet Anyways at this barbeque our principle officially announced the installation of these new security cameras and their purpose. Some kids didn\'t like the idea of him saying a large portion of the student body has lost his trust and that if it were up to him he would do more then install security to stop them. Once he hit that part of his speech, he got hit in the back of the legs with one of the empty propane bottles used for the barbeque. Then we all got sent to period 5 they ended the lunch break 20 minutes early because of this.  

Now I am in grade 12 and I have seen alot of messed up things in my years at this school like people tossing the biology30 skeleton off third balcony or the time when when Brent Elliot got caught stealing a motherboard from the computer lab on buisness wing...even the incident where a former graduate phoned in a bombthreat on valentines because he wanted to spend the day with his girlfriend...BUT i have never seen or heard of a student tossing a propane bottle at their principle have you?

It seems like your school definately needs those cameras.

Seriously: If the person tossing the propane bottle was against the cameras his actions could not have been less thoughtful. Stuff like that gives them the justification for these surveillance methods in the first place.

[Moogie]

Very true. You reap what you sow, as they say, especially in an organisation (such as your school) with a heirachy that keeps the majority of its populace in direct influence by those at the top.

In other words, If that populace acts like a bunch of low-lifes, they\'ll be treated like a bunch of low-lifes.

I\'m guessing you live in the USA.. I\'m glad I don\'t have to live in a place where you actually put up security cameras in school, and where people do moronic stuff like the things you described..

[DepthBlade]

Nah I am in Canada by the border of the states if that counts lol Yes I was pissed off to when all these cameras started appearing but I would tell the guy he is a prick to his face before tossing a propane bottle just because apart of my job is filling propane bottles and selling propane bottles and I know how easy they can spark up even with barely anything in them.

[Edit: Says I am from canada right there

Aye...
American popular culture right now is all about:
Sex
Pimps & sleeping with more than one girl
Violence
Skippin\' School/F*** school, who needs it?
Thugs
Rap music
...and did I mention sex?

Plus with jobs going offshore to India, China, etc. I have to say I\'m worried about the future prospects around here.

I\'m not really sure which one to be worried about most.

(note:Bush\'s looseness with environmental policies can be seen as stimulating the economy.)

I remember when I was in in high school.

-> Kid was stabbed, but survived since the blade barely missed the liver.
-> Free dress days means hell for kids wearing uniforms
-> Cool = be rude to teachers and nerds, and acting tough.
-> Lots of fights for the sake of being cool (see above).
-> Lockers broken into a lot, coats stolen, bus passes stolen.

... but this is actually normal.

On the other hand, this crap rarely happens in college. Security is very tight, and the stupid people find out that the definition of cool isn\'t to be stupid anymore.

I love college. It was such a huge change from school. My college class is more like a team than a group of individuals who pick on eachother and the teacher. People who are in college are there because they want to be, not because they have to be, which means we don\'t sit here being asses all the time and not doing any work. It\'s also alot more social and I think you generally get to know people alot more than in school.

Anybody heard of the GameBombAdvanced incident?

[DepthBlade]

Can\'t wait to get to university of saskatoon awww just  5 or so months until I move up there I toured it this fall and its like a small city that place its amazing, gigantic and a lot of it is brand new!

[snow_RAveN]

BAH !!!

Stealing the mother Board only ?
WE crroupted the WHOLE LAN SYSTEM with so many worms ( good ole 88 disables all your keyboard functions )

not to mention some kid in another school made of with the P.A system

I PUNCHed HOLES IN WALLS ! BECAUSE I CAN !

And I drove a techer into earily retirement ( ok ... so i had help )


Fights were a common thing in my school

some guy punched the princapal !

ANd you think yours is bad !

[DepthBlade]

we\'ve had the whole computer system screwed up to many times now, but they hired some computer tech guys and now they have someone in the computer labs all the time when school is in, security is tight. Why would you want to punch a hole in a wall?...look at me im punching holes in the walls im sure cool? Yah why drive a teacher into early retirement? are you some sort of A-Hole or what? Wait until you get a job and have to deal with people like yourself then maybe you will think twice about doing stuff like that, there just trying to do there job!!

[Axsyrus]

My previous school was screwed up like that

All pupils hated the school and the teachers, if a teacher got kicked from another school because they just sucked so bad, they got hired by ours.. we had 2 or 3 teachers that had to come all the way from the other side of the country(that school is in Arnhem, those teachers came from Den Bosch and Maastricht, for the dutch people here). Approximatly 5 people got send out of the class every single day.. I got suspended once because a techer kicked a friend of mine(don\'t even ask me for the full story, it doesn\'t make any sense at all), but that suspension wasn\'t legal so I just got a day off ^^. My friend on the other hand just got the suspension, without any valid reason and later just got kicked of school(ok, there were reasons for that, but certainly not or the suspension..). This year I had to move to another school because they couldn\'t afford to teach students of my level anymore, and I\'m still amazed by how two schools in the same city can be so different.. (all teacher act normal, I never heard any teacher yelling at a student yet etc.)

Hmm my school was very peaceful ... and we didnt even have cameras around - we could also spend our lunch break in our class room (here the teacher moves after a lesson and not the pupils) without a teacher guarding us ... well those people who wanted to act stupid still did but they were few and the rest of us thought of them as poor morons who have not the slightest glimps of intelligence nor future prespective

Wouldnt it be interessting to do a pisa study in the US?

Snow_raven: Do you mean with your signature that you hijack threads from 1998 or from 1998 onwards (until today) which would be \"since\" 1998 then.

[NewPie]

My school sounds boring compared to yours ... there is pretty minimal security and no crimes happen -_- ...

Jeh Pegasus ... I had PISA thingy in my school here in Finland and I got 91 points when I was almost snoring of the lack of sleep ... lol
