What’s the dumbest thing you ever got in trouble at school for? - Blåhaj Lemmy

Stole this one from Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/lookitup.baby/post/3lhwtrbtsjk2f [https://bsky.app/profile/lookitup.baby/post/3lhwtrbtsjk2f]

I got suspended for getting punched after a kid kicked my lunch down a hall and called me a retard.

I got suspended for a week for getting my ass pulverized by an older, bigger kid. With no warning, he punched me in the back of the head, then twice in the nose when I turned around to see what happened.

The principal apologized and claimed the school had a zero tolerance fight policy, so anyone involved in a fight ended up with mandatory suspension. Total bullshit.

To be fair my parents were poor, I did have a paper sack instead of a proper lunch box, and I was in special education so I had it coming.

I hate the way soany schools interpret their zero tolerance policies. It just serves to reinforce the fact that those policies exist to limit their liability, not protect the vulnerable.
