My teacher told I should pay attention in class because I'm not fluent it in Spanish because I literally learned Spanish to talk to my siblings. What's even crazier is that my science and Social Studies teachers have no idea I can speak it. I just sit there and act like I don't understand, but entonces Voy a casa y lo Digo Asi.
If you haven't seen my previous post https:/www.reddit.com/r/highschool/comments/1t6ntl7/my_bus_driver_went_rogue_and_made_me_35_minutes/ go read that first, then come here.
So, update: the school gave me after school detention for being late, even though it was the driver's fault. Someone told me not to go, so I skipped. That turned into Saturday detention, and the same person told me to skip again. Now I'm suspended for 2 days.
The best part? My parents aren't even mad at me. They know the driver was acting weird and the school is being ridiculous, so they're basically letting my treat this like a 2-day vacation.
Thank you person but is my school insane yes or no?
I'm in 8th grade and 9 days away from finishing junior high, but apparently my bus driver thinks we have time for a field trip?
Normally the ride is like half an hour and she's always later on Thursdays, but today she just started taking like the most random turns. Like we went down at least three different streets that do not even have stops? In fact, we went in a whole neighborhood and 3 streets. We weren't even picking anyone up she was just...driving in circles. At one-point I'm pretty sure we passed the only Starbucks near me twice.
I kept asking my 7th grader friend Rilee what time it is and when we got to school, she said 9:10 school starts at 8:35. My teacher was not mad or anything she asked what happened considering we were 35 minutes late the other two girls took turns saying what happened probably because I was about to cry.
Has this happened to anyone else?
So apparently my school is handing out write ups for dating now. A girl in my grade (8th almost 9th grade) and her BF both got sent to office for it and got official write-ups.
I'm so confused because I had a boyfriend for 5.5 months last year and I was never written up. My school has a no kissing on school grounds policy I was accused of kissing on a field trip. I'm trying to figure out if the rules suddenly changed or they're just being targeted.
Are some being extra strict? Seems pretty unfair that I stayed under the radar for half a year but they're getting in trouble for the same thing. Has this happened at anyone else's school.
I (14F) am beyond furious. I have two younger half siblings (3 and 13 months) who live an hour away from me. Yesterday after school the driver started screaming at me to move to the front (I sit in the back because I have severe nausea). I was talking a bit loud but that was all she for some reason wanted me in the front row.
She literally kicked me out of the back seat. When I realized she wasn't backing down I asked her point blank "Would you rather me sit in the back so my siblings are completely safe, or do you want me in the front and let them sleep outside.
I was trying to show her how ridiculous she was being, but she didn't care. She looked me in the eye and said she'd rather me sit in the front and let my siblings sleep outside.
I was stunned. I moved to the front because I wanted to go home but I spent the rest of the ride terrified of her.
I plan on reporting her tomorrow, but some people are saying I am overreacting, but I don't think you joke about leaving a 13-month-old on the side of the road especially not my sister.
Should I report her or not?
My teacher is actually assigning a test right in the middle of LEAP week, which feels like total overkill when our brains are already fried. It's impossible to focus on a regular grade when we're already spending hours on high-stakes-testing. Does anyone else's school allow this "test-ception" or is my teacher just trying to see us fail. I have an A in that class too. See comment made by me below
It's been over 24 hours since the pep rally and we still haven't heard a single word from our cheer coach. Before she vanished, she told us to "trust our training", "stay focused", and "make the school proud". We honestly thought she was running late, but now it's starting to feel like she walked out on us.
