OMG I'm SO EFFING MAD at ADMINISTRATION.

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Today was beyond retarded, and now I have ISS for the rest of the week.</p>

<p>Is this fair? (sorry for the rant, guys)</p>

<p>It was like half way through lunch and I went out into the hall to use the restroom. When I got out there, 3 administrators were standig out there talking through their walkie talkies. They warned me that a fight was going on and that I should get away from the doors to the cafeteria because the 'fighters' would be yanked out. I stepped away, and stood against the wall waiting to get into the restroom. As the principal said, two kids were violently dragged out of the cafeteria by admins, still trying to kill one another. One of them broke loose and stood against the wall across the hall from me, as I stood watching. People were crowding around, even though nothing was going on.
The assistant principal looked at me and started waving her arms around. She was tlling me do do something, but I couldn't tell what. I walked into the cafeteria with everyone else, figuring she just wanted me to leave. When I sat back down at my table, I got a tap on the shoulder from the assistant Principal, and she said that I had earned myself mop duty. I followed her to the closet, and she handed me the mop and told me to go mop so that everyone could see me. People were laughing, and I just kind of laughed along with them. I "finished" and set the mop back in the mop bucket, and then headed back into the hall to use the restroom. When I got to the hall, the assistant principal was out there. It kinda went like this
Her: Oh, did you finish mopping the floor?
Me: Yeah, I think I got most of it.
Her: Well what are you doing outside of the cafeteria?
Me: Oh, I was just going to the restroom
Her: Oh really now.. Well let me check how well you did mopping first.
I followed her in, and she took me to the opposite side of the cafeteria and completely went haywire.. "YOU SAID YOU GO MOST OF IT! THERE IS SYRUP ALL OVER THE FLOOR! HOW COULD YOU HAVE POSSIBLY THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE WHEN THE GROUND IS STILL STICKY?"
She stomped over to the mop, picked it up, brought it to me, and literally pushed the mop end into my chest.
I tld her that I didn't even knowv why I had mop duty in the first place, and she didn't say anything.
I sort of stood there with the mop, but I wasn't actually mopping. She walked away, and went back into the hall.
I mopped for like 5 seconds, then put the mop away and sat back down with my friends.
When I was walking otu of lunch with my friends, she grabbed me, accused me of insubordination, and then it happened:</p>

<p>.........No CC'er has ever done this before.....</p>

<p>I ACCIDENTALLY (I seriously didn't intend to say this) called her a bit*h to her face.</p>

<p>She took me to the office, wrote me up, informed my teachers, and made me call my mom to come get me. Now I have ISS through the 13th.</p>

<p>Was this fair?</p>

<p>Regardless of the ‘fairness’ of the mopping situation. It is going to be near impossible to plea your case after you let slip that special name.</p>

3

<p>What is ISS?</p>

4

<p>ISS is In School Suspension.</p>

5

<p>How does that work?
That’s what I guessed it was, but how could you have suspension while being in school?</p>

6

<p>I was wondering how Inrtro. to Social Studies was a punishment. Now I understand.</p>

<p>For ISS, you basically sit in a little room all day, and are not allowed to go into the hall between classes. For the first hour of two of it you fill out a stupid questionaire about your infraction and why you won’t strike again. You are required to study the whole time, and you have to bring your own lunch.
Then at the end of the day you have to go around to all your teachers and get the assignments, and then go back to the ISS room and have them sign you off. </p>

<p>It’s quite dumb, if you ask me.</p>

<p>

They try to bore you to death. It really depends on the school/county.</p>

<p>It might not be effective, but try pleading your case concerning her targeting you (not the ***** part).</p>

9

<p>Oh, and to make this sooo much better, our transcripts list major infractions on them. I already have sexual harrasment on it, because I was helping someone in math and the teacher though I was looking down their shirt. (I wasn’t.)
Now I’ll have “Addresed staff member by vulgar name” or something like that.</p>

<p>Wowww, colleges are sure gonna LOVE that!</p>

<p>I agree, that sucks. Although…you could probably be much more efficient by yourself than in an actual class. It could probably be fun if you could get your friends ISS-ed with you. </p>

<p>That whole mop situation was ridiculous, but it just teaches you… a good mental filter is important :)</p>

<p>Challenge the sexual harassment thing. That looks pretty serious on a transcript.</p>

11

<p>Lol you should have looked insulted and told them that you were into guys.</p>

12

<p>Does anyone think this may be illegal?</p>

13

<p>what’s illegal? ISS? no.</p>

14

<p>Maybe…reminds me of the dunce cap.</p>

15

<p>Oh boy, I got an ISS in middle school and it was not fun.</p>

16

<p>It’s not anything like that. I think most schools, atleast in my state, have it.</p>

<p>I’ve already had it once before.</p>

17

<p>No, I meant manual labor against your will as punishment. </p>

<p>Obviously ISS isn’t illegal.</p>

18

<p>This is what I hate about high school. If it weren’t for their ■■■■■■■■ teachers and the administration being on their effing high horse all the time, I wouldn’t have ISS and I wouldn’t be considered a Sex Offender on my transcript.</p>

19

<p>Awww, that sucks</p>

<p>Although apparently streakers get sex offender status too, so maybe it doesn’t look thaaaat bad…I mean…well…yeah.</p>

<p>Try apologizing. Like a lot.</p>
