When you were in school, if you got in trouble, would you ever think of telling the teacher off
?I know I didn't. If you got punished in school, did you go home and tell your parents? I did, but not all the time .

When I was a kid, talking back to the teacher was almost unthinkable. In fact, there was a special "bad kids" class for kids who talked back regularly or who were in some other way what we'd now call "at risk." As I recall, that was the only class in P.S. 2 with a male teacher, and rumor used to whisper that kids actually "got hit" behind those closed doors. And this wasn't in a fancy neighborhood, either, but in a poor-to-working-class, racially mixed one.

Tell our parents we'd gotten in trouble in school? Yikes, no! We'd just get double at home.

I take it back. I once got in trouble for saying something I thought was funny but the teacher thought was "talking back." I had to tell my mother so she could come to school and plead for me to be let off some of the punishments I'd brought down on myself.

SO WHAT TOMMY!

I told off a Spanish teacher ..Mr Cole in Columbus High school after he embaraased me in front of the class. I got a week of detention but it was worth it. I also was removed from his class. I did not tell my parents if I was disciplined at school.

Me and Angelo Cincota try to throw a teacher, Mr. Granger, out of the third floor window. Granger gave us an "F" in Social Studies...

Oh yeah, how can I forget. In high school I got in trouble for makin'-out with Marilyn in the girls bathroom. A teacher walked in on us and Marilyn ran and hid in the water closet and forgot her panties; so, before the teacher saw anything I shoved Marilyn's panties down my t-shirt. I kept her panties all these years, never bothered to wash them, too. I'm one sicko and perverted degenerate, indeed... Eh Marilyn, toots, want those panties back, eh babe???

THE BRONX PHANTOM........hahahhaha

Anyway yeah I have been in trouble for school. Suspended for fighting usually. Talking back, some unstable teacher almost punched me in sophmore year, yeah I was scared, but I went with the flow and showed no fear.

I got suspended for fighting some guy who said something stupid to me, another time some guy kept stepping on my shoes, I knocked him in the head hahaha. Then my friend got jumped, so we jumped the guys who jumped him. Even with all that, I was pretty good.

I remember being in detention everyday. Usually for cutting and being really late. I still have detentions I need to make up haha.

High School sucked though, thats why I always came late, and left early...hah

Yeah bxone, don't we indeed, know how it is. I sort of straightened out and quieted down by my senior year. Served in Viet Nam and went to college and joined my two older, wiseguy brothers in the Famalia business, if you know what I mean.

I never told my Dad I got in trouble with the nuns. I would only get a worse punishment at home. Now, the teachers can't do anything or the parents will run to the school and yell that their child was abused.

Spare the rod, spoil the child, remember that one? Bring back the rods!!!

One time, I got in trouble for being the class clown. The nun told me to wipe that smile off my face. So, I did, with one hand, I ran it across my mouth and made the smile disapppear. The kids went hysterical, the nun didn't think it was funny.
