Apparently I had a problem with authority, lol.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

I'll start...

In 6th grade I was a kindergarten monitor to help the teacher with the little kids. I found her supplies closet and took a brand new box of crayons. It was a large box and the crayons were jumbo, not regular size like you'd buy at the store. The teacher hadn't noticed, but my mom did and she made me bring them back and apologize. I so loved that teacher, as well as everything else about school, so it was a very hard thing to do. I'm not proud of it, but I think it was my only crime - the only one I remember, anyway.

When I was in 4th grade we moved from the farm into the city and an inner city school system - very overcrowded. One day I got a bad grade on an arthmetic test and was very upset when I came home for lunch. My dad was home and he redid the problems using a calculator and my answers were correct.After lunch he took us back to school and took the test in to speak to the principal. I guess the principle spoke to her about it because when I came in she took me out in the hall and yelled at me for going to the principle then she started to shake me, roughly. I was so scared I ran into my oldest brother's room crying and he took me and we left. When we got home the school had been calling my Dad but he was deaf so he did not answer. They suspended my brother and I for a week. When my Mom & Dad went to see the principle the next day my Dad said my Mother was so mad she just about took the principle's head off because of the teacher physically abusing me. My mom campaigned hard to the school board and got that teacher fired. Some people should not be teachers.

My folks took our week off from school as an opportunity to show us that they were proud we had depended on each other and stuck together.Normally a situation like being suspended would have meant a week at hard labor at home but we got a week of good times and things like movies.

Talking to my crush when we were supposed to be silent studying.

It was fourth grade, and the teacher told us to start silent time, I honestly cannot remember what I said to the boy I liked that I sat next to, but when the teacher said I had to stay after class because I was talking, my crush jumped in to defend me, saying, "I asked her a question and she was polite enough to answer." We both had to stay after class and was that ever the best punishment in the world for a starry-eyed school girl!😍

Apparently, learning how to read before I started school and subsequently reading well above grade level was a significant issue for my second grade teacher. When I refused to select what I called "baby books" from the second grade shelf in the library, she punished me by sending me to sit in the hall. I decided the hall wasn't far enough away from that witch (and I'm being kind) and just kept going until I got home. Mom said she was really torn about punishing me for leaving school when she would've done the same thing herself.

Ok, I sort of "accidently" (I think) 🤪kicked down a glass door that wouldn't open-the one we usually went to after high school rehearsals to get things to drink and eat. We were all tired and thirsty and well I just don't know what got into me. I was very strong and my foot just kinda went thru the glass door!😲

The owner called my mother and the police came-yikes.

I was really a very "good girl" up to that point!

And then okay, once I went out at lunch (we were allowed out of school for lunch) and well, I just decided to sit by the creek and not go back that day. My mother wasn't too happy about that!

And then, oh..just one more thing lol~

Well, I do remember getting called to the principal's office when I was in elementary school but I don't remember why. Maybe I talked back or something. Guess I blocked that one out!

Okay we won't talk about college. I'm done.

Next...!🙃
