School Stories
everyone has some stories from school, good or bad
here is one that i am currently living
my school just got rid of all the can machines and everything that is any way bad for u
we have to comply with changing policies for school food or something and thus everything has changed. we no longer have cans of drink, chocolates, ice cream and good hot food
instead they changed everything for something healthier
i am not complaining much since i only used to buy cans of drink and i can live without them

I've got a lot but most of my fondest memories are those of my old old old primary school in Sydney.
Ah those were the days.
Like how we were always afraid of the teachers, and instead of death threats it was "I'm dobbing on you!"
I remember when I was in I think kindergarten or year 1, around then, when it was my friend Dimitri (Dit)'s birthday, and a brand spankin new Robocop figurine had just become his most prized possession as a result of it. It was pretty damn cool I gotta tell you. With those cyclops eyes and that big gun... well anyway as the story goes he lost it. Somewhere, who knows, if we did then it wouldn't be lost would it? I think it was the next day or at least in that week that someone found it. It wasn't one of us, it wasn't a kid who stole it, it wasn't even a nice teacher. It was Mr. Thomas, the dreaded Vice Principle.
Mr. Thomas was tall, balding but not old, and had a face that could make you cry just with that twisted look from his eyes that peered right into your soul and ripped it to pieces. Well that's what he was to us, to everyone he was just a nice poor guy.
Anyway, anyway, he found this Robocop and in the assembly where we are all sitting cross legged on the gravel (ouch) and he holds it up, the palm sized, grey robocop figure dwarfed by the size of this monster of a man, and he calls out
"I've found a small soldier figure in the K-C classroom, does it belong to anyone?"
The smile of some sex oriented joke quickly crawled its way off Dits face as he saw his present in the hands of Mr. Thomas.
"Go and get it!" I said.
"No! I'll get in trouble!!" Was all that Dit could say, and he never saw it again.

Last semester, I foolishly signed up for a Chinese Geography 353 course. My parents and my college advisor warned me against it, but I was confident that I'd do well. I figured that if I got an 'A' for Geography in seventh grade, I could get one now.
So I took the class and got swamped by all the information I had to learn. The terminology was vast and I had to memorize all of the provinces and cities. I had an eighty-something year old prof, and it was hard to understand his English with a Chinese accent. It got to the point where I flunked all my exams. And because there wasn't any homework or in-class assignments, the final exam score determined whether I'd pass the class or not.
Everything looked bad for me in that class. It really looked like there was no hope for my class grade. I skipped the final exam, and I was prepared to fail the course. I was utterly amazed when I checked my grades on the university website weeks later. There were nine other students in the class (all juniors and above) and they apparently did well on the final exam. This in turn raised the curve of the class, bringing up my 'F' to a 'C-'. I had passed, and I was majorly relieved.

A Teacher's Mercy
It was freshman year, the darkest hour of my academic career. Everything was going down, down, and down some more. As my grades began to slump in most of my core classes, I also had a Bible class to worry about. I had Mr. Turner, a teacher most of my classmates didn't really care for. They said that he often contradicted himself while discussing the Bible; I never really got to verify this for myself. Regardless, I still remember this one time that he really let me off the hook.
It was third quarter, and homework and/or projects were being assigned in droves. I was very much behind in getting all of this work done, and my GPA had already fallen below a two point zero. I was quite stressed and my motivation to study had faded like never before. Mr. Turner assigned us a project where we had to write about various religious characters in history. I don't remember the amount of time he gave us to complete the assignment, but I know that I didn't have anything done by the deadline. If I recall correctly, I sat nervously in my chair as all of my classmates crowded around the front desk to hand in their reports. I desperately hoped that Mr. Turner wouldn't notice that I didn't turn anything in that day. My plan was to do the assignment later that night and turn it in tomorrow with an apology. I figured that maybe he'd go easier on me if I appeared honest.
It didn't really turn out the way I hoped it would. I was swamped in assignments from other classes, so I never got around to starting my Bible report at all. Nearly one week must've have gone by, but I could've sworn it was a bit longer than that. Mr. Turner called on me after class and said he didn't have my report with him. My memory of my reply is really fuzzy, but I think I told him (dejectedly) that I was very stressed out from all of my school responsibilities. His response to my excuse surprised me. He told me in his calm voice that I could work on the report that night and bring it in tomorrow. He didn't berate me at all, as some of my other teachers often did when students didn't turn in their homework. His calm disposition really struck me, since I was dreading the worst. Furthermore, I expected him to bar me from turning in my report because it had already been over a week since the deadline. Stunned, I went home and did as he told me to.
I didn't get to work with Mr. Turner a whole lot, so I never really got to know him like my other teachers. Still, as much time has passed, I still remember that day when he really went easy on me. Was it a small miracle? Perhaps. Whatever it was, I'm still very thankful for it.

Wah, i also have some not so interesting ones
My friend tried to run away from a class before(in singapore, we cannot skip lessons unnecessarily).
We had a bet that day with him, saying that if he can run off from the lesson without the lecturer suspecting, we would give him thumbs up. Then he approach my friend's desk and secretly threw his bag inside the dustbin. Then he approach the teacher and say he wants to go outside and throw away the rubbish(our main dump is outside our classroom)
There he went and never came back....
Admire for his great thinking. The teacher really thought he was throwing out rubbish and immediate forgot about him as she has to continue to teach us...

A few random stories come to mind.
1. Nutrageous
Back in the days of elementary school, kids will bring in treats for the class on their birthdays. One kid brought in Nutrageous bars and gave one to every student in the class. He had a few left over in the end, and one of his friends wanted seconds, but the birthday boy refused. His friend then grabbed one and dropped it down his pants. To which the birthday boy replied, "YOU PUT MY NUTS DOWN YOUR PANTS?!"
2. Senior Prank (not my school)
Some kid and his friends got three pigs, labeled them 1, 2, and 4, and set them loose in the school. After catching those three pigs, the principal and the teachers then spent the rest of the day searching for pig #3, thinking that it's still running around down some random hall. Class ended up being canceled and the prankster didn't get to walk at graduation. 
3. Senior Prank (my school)
A few kids forged a letter from the principal, saying that they were going to put condom machines in the student bathrooms to prevent unsafe sex. The letter was written poorly with lots of spelling and grammatical errors (like "fell" instead of "feel") to hint that it wasn't a really from the school. And they sent them to a few parents. These kids did not graduate.
4. College...
The first day after we moved into our apartment, my roommates and I went grocery shopping. We arrived at the oils and didn't know which one to get. We each picked up our phones and called mom. Then we realized that 2 other people were doing the exact same thing. And afterwards, we all exchanged what we learned and then all decided to buy different oils.

1-st year university:
#1:
My neighbors across the hall were perharps the loudest on the floor, so to no surprise the story is about them.
Nighbor #1 is showering. Neighbor #1 sneaks in and steals all of Neighbor #2's stuff. You could hear very loud "*&** %$%$, YOU $%^&$%^ #$%#$, #$% $#%#$%$#%$" coming from the showers as the Neighbor #1 was slowly running away on his toes with a sneaky smile on his face. After about 2 mins the harcore swearing stopped and we were close to stopping laughing. After the water stopped, with the same sneaky smile, Neighbor #2 runs back in on his toes holding a camera... 3 secs pass... the shower room's windows nearly fell out with the next "$#%#$% $#%#$% #$%#$% %#$%#$%% #$%$%$#%!!!!!!!", this time it lasted for about 10 mins and we got a great chance to upgrade our vocabulary.
#2:
All of us got a sample shaving creme that flew out quite far when you pressed the button. One guy was getting ready for smth important. He spent about 30 mins in his room preparing. After 30 mins his friend (and about 20 other people holding those samples) knocks on his door and tells him that it is time to go. After a few more mins the door opens... and well, you can guess the rest 
#3:
Some guy brought a girl in and told his roommate to get out. The roommate left without complaining... but not until setting the phone to record a voice message to EVERYONE on our floor

#1 grade 8: Our math teacher died in grade 7 so in grade 8 they brought a new teacher who couldn't teach. And he was stuttering as well. So once we locked the door from the inside with a chair, smeared the whiteboard with ham and uscrewed his tabletop and left it there.
First he started knockin on the door saying that he will call the police if we won't open up. When we did he started writing on the board and the markers wouldn't write since the board was smeared
So he banged on the table with his fist while saying "d..du...dum..dum...dumm...dummbasses!$$" and you could guess what happened, first he cut his fist and it was all bleeding and the tabletop flew to the side hitting one student on the leg. We never played pranks on that teacher again, since he didn't want to teach our class anymore
#2 Grade 9, bible studies, a religious teacher, a non-believing class, hating the teacher. It was right after new year's day, January the 2nd, a guy brought the head of a smoked pig. We put this head on a plant pot that was hanging directly over the teachers table. When she got in she didn't see it but it was hillarious to see how she was sitting underneath the pig's head, we all started laughing, and our homeform teacher got in, and she was shocked to see the pig, so she called the other teacher outside while we took the pig off, I guess she saved our behinds.
#3 Grade 10,we had a really fat teacher who barely could get through the door. So once we put a board the same colour the door is and glued it to the door, when the teacher got in he banged his shoulder and couldn't write Luckily he had a sense of humor and he didn't punish us.. badly
#4 Grade 10 we stole some of the school's formal papers and wrote a letter to few of the students saying that they are being expelled due to bad appaling marks and due to smoking in the washroom. They really thought it's for real and went to the principal who didn't understand what's going on, we got caught and got detention.
#5 it's not really a prank but in grade 7 I chewed on my pen and the ink spilled in my mouth, I asked the teacher to leave to the washroom and he said no, and I said I ate my pen, and he was like "you ate you pen?1?!? you want my marker too???" and everyone laughed at me
#6 Grade 11, we put a sign that said "Crematorium" on the teachers' washroom and a sign that said "concentration room" on the auditorium door
#7 Grade 12, during the girls gym lessons, we took the fire hose and when they got into the dressing room we opened it up on full might and flooded the dressing room from underneath the door. We got punished and they said that one more prank and we are going to be expelled luckily I didn't care since I was leaving to canada

1. Substitutes
Ahh, I have some substitute teacher stories too. This dates back to 7th grade, when we were all brats. I don't remember why, but we all hated this one teacher, who was our sub for the 3rd day in a row (our teacher was sick). Someone started a note that read, "Drop your books at <insert time here>," and the note was passed around to every student in the class. Everyone was quiet, watching the clock, and when the time came, everyone dropped their books at the same time, making an extremely loud noise. Several neighboring teachers came in to check what had happened. The sub didn't return the next day.
2. Teacher giving out his number
My German teacher in 10th grade was reviewing for out upcoming test. It was the day before spring break and our exam was to be on the first day after we get back. He wrote his email on the board and told the class to feel free and email him if we had questions. Then afterward, he came over to our small corner of girls and said, "And if any of you girls need help, feel free to call me." And he gave us his number.
3. Things you never want to hear from teachers
In 11th grade, economic class, my teacher was complaining about guys who wear their pants too low and exposing their boxers. It was a pretty long and pointless rant, but then he ended with, "And if your butt really is that cute, then wear your pants low, but skip the underpants." 
4. "Give me the finger!"
Our choir teacher in 11th always wanted us to follow the music with our fingers, so every time we sight-read, he'll say, “Give me the finger! ...Not that finger."
