Once, in the 3rd grade for stabbing someone in the arm with a pencil! We ended up dating in Jr High for a few years and we are still good friends now and still laugh about it!

never. I was supposed to stay in during recess once with my nose on the wall (every day the bad kids had to do that). I snuk out to recess and hid instead, scared the whole time that I'd be found!!! :o

I was in 6th grade and it was just before first period started. We had desks that were separate from the chairs and a guy in my class had taken my chair and turned it around and was talking to some boys that sat behind me. I went up to my chair and touched the back as I told him it was my seat. He made a big show of falling out of the chair (couldn't have happened due to my light touch on the back) and as I turned the chair around to sit in he kicked it out from under me. I fell hard and the teacher sent us both to the principle. We went in together. The principle looked at him and said, "Justin...what have I told you about doing stuff like this..." admonished him and told him to leave. The principle turned to me and said, "I have never seen you in here before, you look like a good kid, go back to class." Later after lunch my teacher took me outside and appologized for having to send me to the office. He knew I was a good student, but since he didn't see what happened he had to follow policy.
I never again went to the principle, nor did I ever serve a detention in jr high or high school.

Nope... I feared the wrath of my parents if they found out too much to even tempt fate. I sure wasn't a goody-goody but I make sure I never got caught being bad ;)

Once in elementary school. :( The boy in my class who loved me, but whom I thought had cooties, asked me for a piece of paper during a math test. Like a smart alec, I tore off a tiny piece of paper from the corner of my test, no bigger than a pencil eraser, and handed it to him. The teacher thought I was passing notes during the test. I cried all the way to the office. I mean shoulder heaving cry. :( :( :teeth: :teeth:
I always had to stand out in the hall for talking or laughing out loud though. :rolleyes: :teeth: Oh my! That was a horrible punishment in those days. :earseek: LOL!!!
FREQUENTLY. They placed a plaque on the bench in front of the Principal's office when I graduated from K-6:
EROS SPENT THE FORMATIVE YEARS OF HIS LIFE ON THIS BENCH!!!!!!!;) ;) ;) ;) ;) .......

Yes, but for a good reason. In 2nd grade, I wrote this story that my teacher thought was good (I don't even remember what it was about) but I got sent to her office to read it to her, LOL.

Yep. 7th grade. My best friend at the time, Leslie, and I were not on the best of terms. Everyone had told me through the years "If you don't have something good to say about someone, don't say anything at all." So after 2 weeks of not saying anything at all to her, she went to the teacher and the teacher made us go to the principal's office (we had assigned seats on the school bus too, Leslie was my seat mate). The Principal asked me if we could resolve the problem, and I told him we could, but it wouldn't be pretty, so he sent us back to our homeroom teacher. She told me I could either take a paddlin' or talk to Leslie. I got the paddle out for her and went in the hall. She didn't have the heart to punish me too bad. She's known me since I was 5 yo. She played piano in my church. The matter was never pursued again (did you know I have a stubborn streak;) ). I see Leslie now from time to time. I try to say hi, she acts like she's still mad about the whole thing (that was over 20 years ago:rolleyes: ).
I had to serve detention once in 10th grade. I was chewing gum in homeroom the day after Halloween. Candy wasn't allowed in the classrooms. I thought I was a discreet chewer, too.:rolleyes:
Other than that, I was a pretty good student.;) I guess I was kinda sorta some of the teacher's pet.:o I was always dependable (I missed MAYBE 8-10 days of school in 12 years), always turned in my homework on time or early, had the correct answers most of the time when asked a question, and I played sports (and was in the band;) ).

Oh Yes!!
Numerous times!
On one occasion I was given a lovely 3 days off from school for putting a Sloppy Joe sandwich down a kids pants (it's a long story!)!
I guess I was a pretty weird child.
I hope my kids are better than I was, or man am I in for it!

Hi....my name is Stephanie.....and I was a teacher's pet....
BIG TIME
Course when your dad is "the law" you don't fear the principal as much as you fear daddy.....LOL
But I turned out okay
Although I would never admit this to my dd when she was younger (didn't want to promote bad behavior) the answer is definately yes. I found myself in a few uncomfortable situations during my Jr/Sr high school years.

I was a goody two shoes and teacher's pet all the way through high school :)
Yep. In 8th grade myself and a classmate were sent for goofing off in class. The VP gave us each three swats with a huge paddle (not softly either). We deserved it. That was in 1977. Of course these days we would have sued the VP, the school, the district, the lunch lady, our teacher, and the school mascot :rolleyes:
I got detention my senior year of HS for leaving campus with some friends to go look for cow skulls in a nearby field, while we waited for class pictures to be taken.

Here's my story: I went to an all day Kindergarten for one. Every now and then a "naughty" child was sent to the big principal's office. Well, curiosity killed the cat so to speak and I just needed to find out what went on at this strange spot.
So......one day I decided I was going to find out. When they passed the lunch trays out, I took my whole tray of food and deliberately threw it on the floor!! (What a rebel I was!!!!)
I was successful!! I was lead straight to the office!! There I sat FOREVER in a hard little wood chair, watching all my classmates happily playing a few yards beyond the window on the playground. To this day I don't remember talking to the principal.....just sitting and sitting!!
I didn't lilke this at all. It was very boring. So guess what....I made sure I was NEVER sent again!!!:D :D :D

You went on purpose???? HELLO???? And exactly what would your curious little self have done if you'd have had Grog or Capt'n Nemo's principle??? And your mother thought what of this???

Oh ya. In fact I was telling the mothers of my kid's friends some of the trouble I got in and they kept saying "really, really, reaaaaaaaaallly????!!!!!!!!!" Nothing major, just skipping classes, drinking beer in the cornfields, cheating on tests, etc., etc. Somehow I also managed to be the teacher's pets, in fact one hid us in his supply closet so we wouldn't get busted skipping lunch. Just good clean fun!! I managed to get good grades too. I hope the kids take after their Dad.

Most definately in 2nd grade I recieved the paddle on the butt for fighting. In middle school a few times for numerous reasons and in high school for acting like a stupid teenager.
Oh yeah. Been there.
Now I didn't get a monument like Eros but I did get to know the business end of the "board."

Many,many times!
I remember the very FIRST time was when I was in second grade.I was going to a Baptist private school then and one day,on the way back from morning services,I whopped some kid over the head with my bible for calling me ugly!:p My most memorable principle's office trips?
a)Starting a food fight in the cafeteria with a corndog <i>heavily</i> covered in mustard,ketchup and relish.It took three days to get all the food off the floors,ceiling and tables.
b)Getting into a fight with a girl whose nickname was "Big Bertha"(she was six feet tall and three hundred pounds in the 7th grade)because she tried to steal my pocket money.Not only did I get popped seven times for getting INTO the fight,but I also suffered a chipped tooth when Big Bertha smacked me across the mouth with a fistful of fake silver rings..ouch
c)Getting taken to the office for calling my World History teacher a fascist pig in HS
I was so bad....:p

....OH YEA... :jester: :jester:
Too many times to count. I went to a Catholic school for the first 8 years. Lets just say that the nuns were able to use some of their best torcher on me (most of witch has been outl awed by amnistey International) In 7th grade I spent the month of January having lunch with the principal, Sister Mary, a.k.a the bat.
In 8th grade I got 3 days off after the cop pulled me out of class for breaking the window of the old lady who lived next to the school with a snowball. I also had to do 40 hur of work around her house ( I think they call it community service now:rolleyes: )
All I can say about hgh school is I don't know what may parents were thinking when they sent me to public school.
Well I servived and now have 2 kids in private school both are doing fine (they take after their mother, thank God).

In sixth grade, I got sent to the principal's office for not completing a homework assignment.
Guess what I did? I went to the bathroom and tried to finish it on the stall wall.
Little did I realize the teacher went down to the office to meet me. When she didn't find me there, she checked the restroom and snagged me trying to get it down.
So I got in double trouble--once, for not doing my homework and twice for trying to sneak getting it done.

Yup, quite a bit in HS. My cousin and I just never could get to school on time so we always had to stop by the office to get a detention slip. We were actually his favorites and my cousin and I would have our morning coffee with him. He still gave us detention though:rolleyes: We still owe him a ton of hours;) I still never make it to work on time. She used to get so mad at me for making her late:)

Only once, also in kindergarten. It was recess time and I went to the water fountain to get a drink before going outside. I decided to get a drink "for the road" and loaded up with a big unswallowed drink of water. I started walking for the door and an older girl came up to me and slapped her hands on my cheeks and the water exploded all over the floor. I was marched off to the principal's office where they explained why it wasn't such a good idea to walk around with a mouthful of water.
I managed to make it through the rest of elementary and high school without a single detention or without facing the dread wooden paddle.
Years later, I spent many hours in the pricinpal's office hiding from the bullies who tormented me during 8th and 9th grade. I suppose that's why I have ZERO tolerance for bullies. Heaven help any child who I see picking on another child. They will face the wrath of Mean Old Mr. Hayes, and you can count on that.
