Schoolyard Stories
mooface:
i went to catholic school for most of my life, which meant that most of the kids who were in my kindergarten class were also in my class when we were in senior year of high school. actually, i have known my best friend fitz since preschool although we did not become close friends until high school.
a few months before graduation, fitz confessed something to me.
"remember that weird kid, kevin springmeyer, who went to st gabe's with us?"
"no," i replied (i've blocked out most of my primary school years from my memory).
"come on, he had bright red hair and he was really weird... and his disappeared halfway through second grade."
"oh yeah!" i remembered. "he was sent away because he bit a teacher, right!"
fitz laughed. and laughed.
"actually," he told me, "he didn't bite any teacher. he was just sent away to a special school. i overheard a teacher talking about it, so then i told everyone that he had been sent away for biting a teacher. and to this day everyone who went to st. gabe's remembers him as 'that kid who bit a teacher'."
and sure enough, a couple weeks later i was in debate class (run by the drama teacher who took smoke breaks while his class hung out and watched movies). two guys were telling stories from middle and elementary school. "hey, do you remember kevin springmeyer?" one asked. "you mean the kid who bit the teacher??" the other laughed.
poor kid, he has no idea about the false legacy he left behind.

Ahhh grade school. What I am in! Well just today Some One threw cheese at all the "popular" girls and then the same person chucked his peanut butter sandwich across the lunch hall, and in mid air in broke apart sending one slice, without the peanut butter on it, skimming across my head and the other half landed on a kid's face.
Yesterday, A "friend" whipped an eraser right up a girl's skirt.
Last week, a teacher made my friend write two essays on why he turned off the class room lights at the end of the day.
Last month, my friend slammed a kids head against a desk, stood up and walked to the office.
Last year, during a "Dangerous Person is in the building or Outside", We learned that if some one was outside, they could easily see us from the wall of windows in every classroom.
In elementary school, we had "one of those kids" who was batshit insane. He threatened anyone who came close to him with scissors, dragged his penis across every desk during class, and was never seen again after 4th grade.
These are memories I can call off hand.

--- Quote from: yelley on 09 Jan 2008, 09:05 ---agreed, jc. the fact that it was a religious school is only necessary because the story specifically refers to him refusing to pray. the teacher was a bitch because she just wasn't a good person, not because she was religious.

I meant it reminded me. There is always going to be a group of people who will try to impose something like daily prayer on people that don't want to be a part of it. I'm not referring to that story specifically, but it has some similarities with a bunch of other "shitty teachers" I've run into, and not just at my elementary school.
But also, this one time, we were playing Butts Up at recess, and the ball I threw bounced off the edge of the wall and smacked the principal in the face. Stupid kids high-fiving me for shit right as it happened, so of course all fifteen of us had detention.

I would like to know what the right and wrong expressions are for this type of situation.
