Has/did your school ever pull a dick move?

[Sparcrypt]

*snip*

That IS a bit of a dick move. We made cash at uni by selling chocolates and soft drinks in the common room - they provided a fridge but never put anything in it so we took advantage.

Even where I work now we have a fridge full of drinks for a dollar each in the IT department - my manager buys them in bulk from Big W or wherever and stocks it up, the profits get used to buy us stuff (we got a coffee machine out of it which was awesome). Half the other departments in the building come to buy from our fridge as well.

Thought considering you can easily make a profit selling to a small group of people at a dollar per can of drink it's slightly depressing to realise that shops sell them for 2 bucks or more...

I can't imagine having to stay in one area at school I used to a its lunch time goe any where you want around school except for outside hmm
OT: dick moves let me think oh yea a guy in the Pastral care("Sped") faculty started observing me and sending people to help me when I didn't need help the last straw was when he said he was going to limit my library attendance at lunch(A right that every student has) so I was making friends the punchline is my friends and me hang out in the library so yea I threaten to complain/check if its illeagle (for limiting my right to attending the library whenever its open,while other students keep this right) and he has openly been avoiding me for the last year yay

I went to high school in Palmyra, NY. Thanks to one pushy mormon mother, like there's another kind, there was no chocolate milk in the cafeteria. Hilarious considering since then I had spoke to morons and former mormons and there is disparity over whether chocolate milk is against the mormon religion or not. Even more hilarious is that I knew that woman's son and he was a major pot head.

My school banned chips and cheese! THE FUCKERS!!

I was an editor the school newspaper and me and another editor wrote some things about a situation that happened at our school (it involved graffiti) and how we felt administration did an ineffective job in handling it. Well we got suspended and they shut down the newspaper. Apparently first amendment rights don't exist in schools which is why we got in trouble.

My school provided exclusive rights to uniform production to a local company, which sounds great but they bumped up the prices to try and capitalise on their monopoly. £20 for a white polo shirt with school logo. Plain white ones (£5 for 3 at Woolies, as it was at the time) were banned and would earn you an indignant phone call home. The policy was however abandoned after a year as parents were defying the ban en masse.

Yea this happened at our school. They cost roughly 25 pounds a shirt and around 55 for pants.
Which is a lot of money in my country.

Anyway i wanted to do biology and IT but the classes clashed so they decided to teach me "offline" for IT after all sorts of bullshit went down it was all sweet and such. I handed in most of the years work before it was even due, since there was only 2 other people doing IT in my year, it should have been sweet. Oh and apparently offline means we get the funding and you get no support because i failed the first time for things that i shouldn't of and at the next submittal after fixing all the things i was told to failed again becuase the teacher missed some stuff the first time. I dropped the class.

And in my first year i had poetry published in a nationwide competition run by our biggest newspaper. In won a eee pc (back when they were considered amazing, like 5 years ago or whatever) and $500 dollars for the school. I never got recognition, dont know what they spent it on either. But if some team wins a regional rugby game then apparently they are gods that we should talk about for 25 minutes in assembly.

We have a dedicated sports assembly at the end of the year that goes for three hours. Then most of these awards are re presented at our academic assembly. They take longer to hand out than the academic ones.

A group of other boys were harassing me and my girlfriend of the time. They went as far as to grab her by the ass spank her so i quickly pulled her over to a passing teacher while she was crying and explained the situation. I got told to harden up and that i was probably seeing things. I said ok then i will. Went back to the ring leader and broke his nose (im a black belt. my instructor agrees that i did the right thing) and got suspended for violence. Then my suspension was furthered because i was holding her by the hand when it happened. I had them up for allowing of sexual assualt of a minor. They forced my girlfriend to drop the charges or else they would expell her. I nearly broke the principals nose in anger but held myself back.

I'm writing a list of how fucked up this school is and am going to verbally present it to the pricipal when i leave at the end of the year and dont need the school anymore.

Ugh... got into 6th form today, and I already hate the school again.

In your free time - that's time when you don't have lessons - you have to stay in school.

I mean... seriously, what? What's the point in that?

We had that in year 12, but not in 13, and even in year 12 i would just go home after i signed in.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

My school, after the final bell, used to actually have staff members standing all along the main road to tell the students to keep their uniforms in check... even after we were out of school and half-way down the fucking main road!

Damn worst I ever got was bullied but I had a hawk for a mom. I remember once a teacher yelled at me my mom came the next day with a lawyer it ended with her having to make a public apology in front of the class to me for her behavior.

My mom the kind of person who makes grown up cry. Let?s just say don?t leave your fleshy throat open to my family. We have members who make a living suing people. God I love my family right now.

My mum is just like yours, except without the ability to lawyer people into submission. Basically she'd just go down there over anything to ***** and moan until (and this happened twice) she had to be "escorted" off the grounds by members of staff. Boy she didn't go peacefully at all... I think by the time I left by school was glad I was leaving because my mum wouldn't be turning up there any more.

OT: Another dick move my school pulled was only giving a couple of kids a couple of weeks suspension when them (and a bunch more who didn't get punished at all) beat me senseless and left me very badly injured. Yeah, me throwing my bag onto a table in a bad mood gets me told off, but homophobically-motivated physical assault? Well, boys will be boys.

I was attacked by some random ****, WHO HAD A BLOODY SWISS ARMY KNIFE WITH A 5 BAJILLION MILE BLADE, so,he cut my leg badly, blood all over my Nice new trousers, So obviously, i kick him in the face while wearing hiking boots, because it's fucking cold & wet in the winter, so i bust his nose open, and take the knife.On my way to the principle's office with the knife and a bandage around my cut leg, and the Random **** limping off to his mates, a Girl i know helped me on the way, holding my hand, and trying to re-bandage the wound, as the toilet paper i used got soaked with blood and, then the Vice principle come out of His hole.

Picture this: Two teenagers, One male and one female, holding hands, the female touching my leg, and me with a knife in hand.

Guess what the Principle Comes out with.
Shouts at me for a Milena, Bans Holding hands with girls, No more Boots of any kind allowed in the school, And i get DOUBLE DETENTION FOR 10 CUNTING HOURS (two Hours a day) My parent's visit to talk about the fight, and i had to visit the school Therapist of a week.
My blood is boiling just thinking about it, not going to say the other 8 Bajillion things the school pulled.

In year five everybody's given the option of going on a field trip to a foreign city for a few days, while those who stay at home get a different program. This program was absolute shit. Day 1: We had to sit in a classroom for what amounts to a regular day of school and do old exams. Didn't even matter what subject, hell you didn't even need to do it, just so long as you stayed in the classroom. Day 2: Same as day 1, only the last hour was spent thinking of things to do on the field trip the next day because the teachers didn't organize anything, because they weren't getting paid for it. The whole thing was basically them saying: "we know there's fuck-all to do, but we won't let you leave."

Yup, my school got rid of the dividers between urinals to "battle homophobia."

I have no idea how to respond to that.

 

[TheDooD]

My highschool kicked me out and almost deleted my files because I was sick when on 18th birthday and missed school for like a week after that.

Holy shit, that is really unfortunate. Did you at least get Random **** screwed over?

 

[Horizontalvertigo]

I sat with a nose bleed in a school nurses office for an hour, before they decided it'd be a good idea to call my mum. Who immediately lost her shit and drove me to the hospital (On the 45 minute trip I finished my second box of tissues for the day.) and then I bled for a further half an hour/45 minutes in the Royal Children's Hospital emergency ward before my nose finally decided to clot. I had lost 3/4 of my blood hahahaha. Oh yeah, I was 10 and a severe Haemophiliac. Not sure if that counts as a dick move, becasue it wasn't deliberate, but it was still a massive fuck up hahahhaa.

If you want a proper example of a dick move, For context I left my primary school before the 6th year because I was being a severely bullied, I a kid who already had to deal with a load of bullshit cauase of the whole haemophilia thing. I was out shopping with my mum a few years afterwards, and one of my old teachers recognised me and felt the need to say to my face: "Oh yeah, you're the kid who cried a lot aren't you?" Good job guy, Hahahahaha

My high school was pretty good. Only time something changed was after one semester where a fight broke out almost every day (but they were isolated fights, so most people didn't see them).
My college, on the other hand, likes pulling dick moves. This semester, after i paid for classes, they failed to tell me I owe them an extra $1200 because taking an online class adds that much ON TOP of regular class fees. when they finally told me, it was after drop dates, so I had no choice but to pay or drop all my classes. Oh, and they didn't send a letter saying "pay by the end of the semester, and you'll be okay," no it was "you have 10 days or we are getting a collection agency on your a**." And the worst part about it? The people who spend the money are morons. They spent a fortune suing the nearby apartment complex because their green signs "confuse students into thinking they are on-campus housing." Instead, they could have used that money to either lower living costs, to encourage students to buy on-campus housing, or they could repair the living quarters of the people who already live on campus. Most of them are considering leaving anyways, since things don't get fixed, but the school just doesn't care.
As a final note of frustration. I joined the school because they advertise being one of the only physics colleges in our area. They don't offer all the classes necessary for a physics student to graduate. If they do, it's once every 3-4 years, and it's usually either a requirement or there are so many requirements that when it comes around, you are not allowed to take it because you are missing one obscure physics class that probably has absolutely no impact on the subject matter.

Now I feel a little better.

Because it isn't free time, it's personal study period. Not really a dick move, the school expecting you to do work instead of dicking about for an hour, no offence.

OT: I got suspended for being beaten up in the name of fairness, that was pretty cool.

I'm in upper sixth and have leisure periods where you still can't leave school.

So it literally is an hour slot for doing damn all.

When i was in primary school (10 years old) i wanted to play the violin. They gave me a trumpet instead. I tried to play it for a while, but didnt like it. They wouldnt let me quit. Instead gave me detention every morning and afternoon break (each 15 minutes)to practice in the head masters office. In the end my mum had to go to the council to complain telling them what is the point in forcing me to play it when i didnt want to when they were denying some other kid the chance to learn it, and who wanted to. Then, they let me quit. What a nightmare.

 

[Glowbug]

Hey, maybe if I'm given Tramadol (very strong opiat) for chronic nerve pain, which essentially give me the choice of a metric shit-ton of pain, or drowsiness and the need to go to sleep a lot, the school shouldn't give me the fucking choice between being expelled and not taking my pills. [/snip]

That is...absolutely terrible, possibly inhumane.

Off-Topic;
What a small world. Your chronic nerve pain wouldn't happen to be called Fibromyalgia, would it?

Ooh, actually no, however the aforementioned girl has it and so does my step mother (rather seriously. It apparently sucks all kinds of balls). Small world indeed.

Holy Jesusballs. Aren't Haemophiliacs supposed to be sped to the hospital at the first sign of blood? That's some criminal negligence there
