Just as the title states, I got suspended from my school for a good three days. Before I tell you what happened, I want you to know exams start in two weeks, so this little trip might be advantageous to me, considering now I don't have to study in noisy classrooms as I can study at home. But that means I have to go to school early tommorow and hand in all the assignments which I have already completed.

Anyway, that's the boring bit. On to the actual story (I'm trying not to sound biased).

I have 6th period construction tech class. It is my last class of the day. As I enter the door, Mr. D, my construction tech teacher, tells me I have to sand off the paint from the desk that I used to paint my desktop valet. My desktop valet, which is our final project, was not fully painted yet (wanted to add another coat to the sides). So I told him that I would clean the desk off once I am done painting, because it saves me the extra work. I go grab the blue paint, and dab a little on a palet but before I could start my teacher takes my palet and the blue paint away from me. According to him, my project was completed, therefore there was no need for me to paint anymore. But it's my project, not his of course, and it's done when I feel happy with it, and the wide streaks on the side, clearly needed some work imo. Anyway, now that I can't do anything I start manually sanding off the paint from my desk. This was really boring, and pretty tiresome as there was so much paint. When I finished my desk, he asked me to clean the other people's desks. At the same time, he started handing out marks (I think he was marking them the same day) for that desktop valet which was due last Friday. I got mine back and I got a 65, which at first may look ok, but I got 0 on time management, so I felt jipped. I "completed" (excluding the coats) the assignment on Friday like everyone else. I just wanted to add a nicer, thicker coat on Monday. When I asked him if he would reconsider the mark and at least give me a 1(out of 4) in time management which would boost my mark to a 70, and Mr. D replied no. I told him that he was being a jerk and he slammed his hand on the table in an attempt to look intimidating, then demanded for me to go to the office. I refused, but only because I didn't feel like I did anything wrong. He called the office, and too my luck, our nice VP was absent, so Mr. Manderville (bad VP) was filling in for Mr. Mullens (good VP). Mr. Manderville soon arrived on the scene, and asked me why he was bringing me to the office. I told him that I felt Mr. D was treating me bad and I called him a jerk based on numerous factors. Then Mr. Manderville said I was coming with him to the office, in which I replied, "Truth hurts doesn't it". Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut because Mr. Manderville got this incredibly offended look, and he just escorted me to the office. This was the first time I got sent to the office in in two years, so I thought I might just have to do detention after school or something. But no, I got a full 3 day suspension from Mrs. Mouk, our principal, after reviewing it with Mr. Manderville and Mr. D.

Usually, you'd think you would feel absolutely terrible after getting suspended. But I really didn't, guilt was absent from my mindset. In fact, it's almost like I was getting a nice little break off school before exams. But yea, I had to deal with my parents...and the worst kind in this situation too. The ones that take the schools word for it (100%), and don't believe a single thing you say. Surprisingly though, they were pretty calm about it (which I found pretty scary). They were calm because the VP said I was getting sent home because I called a teacher a jerk. They didn't really think that was a big enough reason to get suspended for 3 days (Say the f word and your suspended for 1 day lol). So we'll see what happens tommorow.

The biggest regret I have by getting suspended, is that I have to hand in all my assignments due throughout this week tommorow. Great.

Thanks for reading. I apologize if the story wasn't as good as you expected it to be. In fact, it was pretty lame. And that's why I put it in the Humor category. It feels like some sort of joke.

PS: I thought E3 was great, might do a blog on it later on.

As for the pics that you lurk, I'll have to get the camera from my sister who lives quite far.

hahaha, it happens man, it happens. My computer tech teacher was very much like that--mainly because I was the best in class and she was one who believed in affirmative action in the classroom (I was the only white kid in class, and one of 3 that actually cared. ). She made the class rather oppressive.

That does suck. I'd be mad if I got suspended for something like that. Congrats for sticking it to the Man.

Aw dude, getting suspended really sucks, especially under such strenuous circumstances. I believe you, some teachers are downright evil. You did the right thing in expressing your feelings. Hope you do good on finals!

I used to have a teacher who had everyone afraid of him with his "false" authority through screaming like a madman and I had never had any problems with him until one day the class bully decided to take my desk, I didn't move, he started to shout and make a fuss of it and my teacher said that I had to leave the classroom so I said that, in order for me to go out, the bully had leave too. My teacher didn't have any other choice but telling the bully to do it too because i wouldn't move [Mr Rodriguez screamed with such a force at me that I remember him spitting on my face]. We had to spend ten minutes outside the classroom and when we got in, I re-took my place and the bully had to seat elsewhere. Fortunately I never got suspended and Mr. Rodriguez got to know that I wasn't another mindless drone.

You did well at school: your project was yours to say when you felt it was completed and, above all, you don't have to clean your mate's desk, their mess is theirs to take care of.

I don't mean to sound like an ass but maybe next time you should keep some of those remarks you made to yourself. By the way you're teacher sounds like a bit of an ass.

No actually, I totally agree. Sometimes the reality is harsh but that's life. Anyway, not saying anything is what keeps most people trouble free. Or maybe I shoud re-phrase. Not saying anything stupid will keep you trouble-free.
