A question to all those that love to talk about school(yeah right). What are some of the fondest, embarrasing, comical, foolish or just most memorable moments you have had while attending school?
For me it was the most embarrasing, i was in middle school, i think 7th grade and people were trying to show off to a bunch of abelicious babes. Well anyway , i decided to jump over a trashcan that was simply minding its own business. Like a parapalegic monkey, i lept like a monkey and came down like a parapalegic. It seems that the whole school was laughing at me.
I have shared y experience now will you please share yours

(No offense to those paraphalegic people who happen to view this thread, my heart goes outto you and your loved ones; again please dont take offense ...Thank You )

hmm....I was actually a house captain in school. I don't honestly remember what the "Houses" were supposed to represent...although I believe there was some kind of point system in place, and whichever house had the most points at the end of each month got a prize of some sort. I can't honestly remember the details.

Anyway, I was head of House Tannahill for most of my time in the school, including when I was in Primary 7 (the last year in primary school)...which actually made me really proud, as it means I was the head, head, rather than just my year head...but anyway, I digress...part of my additional duties as a result was being "school messenger". I was required to deliver lettings, school news bullitens, and so on and so forth to every class in the school. A disruption if nothing else, as it meant I had to leave class to do it. But anyway...

When doing my rounds, I'd often find classes wouldn't be in...usually off to the PE hall. This would actually be very frustrating, as it meant I'd just have to leave the letters to be handed out on their desk, and hope the teachers saw it when they came back. On one occassion, I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the number of classes that were empty and, at one point, walked in to one class that was empty save for a single person who was apparantly there on detention.

I looked around the room, sighed, and said to the person "Are all the teachers on holiday today or something?"

Too late did I realise there was actually a teacher in the room, hidden from my veiw by a cuboard She was not impressed with my sarcasm, and gave me a chewing out for it

The Sera One was very embarassed.

My proudest high school moment was leading my friend down the hallway on a leash and dog collar playing domantrix and everyone went completly silent and like cleared the hallway to the side and just stared. It was like this perfect scene from a movie or something. I went to school in this small town and if u wernt part of the in crowd you wernt anything and ppl were very closed minded. So being gothic then my friends and i had alot of fun shocking ppl.

thank you so much for your input, i am greatly relieved that at least someone responded to this topic . Iam an american so i know little about these "houses" , but i guess i did get some knowledge from the Hrry potter movies


how embarrasing

Back in high school, senior year I think, we had the mother of all food fights.
Every table was turned over and used as a shield/barrier.
The entire lunch room was split into 2 sides. No one was spared.
If you happened to be walking by when it started, you pretty much had ketchup and Capri Sun juice all over you.
What was funny was how quickly it erupted. One second everything's fine; the next thing you know it's a warzone.

Whenever Moe was home sick.

We did not like school. Nope.

When I was in 8th grade (don't know what the equivalent for Brit schools is -- we were 12 and 13 year olds) we had the worst teacher in the history of teacherdom! He only lasted two months and I don't think he actually taught more than one time. This was a small school (there were about twelve kids in my class and we shared a room and teacher with the class under us, also about twelve strong) and our principal was very fierce! For the first few weeks *we* got all the blame for everything that was going wrong in our classroom.

I remember he used to excuse himself from the class and disappear for hours. Finally someone would find him hiding in the boys' bathroom crying. Sometimes he'd fall asleep at his desk, so we'd all go outside and play baseball for an hour or so, then sneak back in and pretend we'd never left when he finally woke up. He also used to walk around the room with a wooden ruler and slap it on the desks and scream at us. We never figured out what he was screaming. One time he tried to have us reenact the Salem witch trials. I was a defense attorney. Odd, really, because I don't think the witch trials were big on defense.

Finally all our parents started to complain so they fired him and we got our former teacher back, whom we really liked.

It had to be the time I ate a mixed selection of cafeteria foods that my friends put together at lunch....for about five dollars...at the time it sounded like a good deal and actually it didn't taste all that bad!

The only fond moments at school are the classes with Tiddlyjen!

^Awww! Sniff! That's so sweet!

I feel like the old nursemaid in the animated Robin Hood. "Ahh! Young love!"

/\ Weird...I watched that last night....

My best school moment was getting pushed into a locker and breaking my arm.....no...

It has to be having my head slammed agaisnt lockers and giving me a concussion.....no.

Thats about all I can remember....maybe due to that last one...lol

I made a good friend at high school, and thats about the only thing I take with me from that period...

I did Agriculture in high school and in year 10 got to be farm manager for the day.
It was great fun looking after our little farmlet, no classes and no teachers.
I worked with my friend which made it especially fun, we had to chase the cows and goats over half the school when they wandered off and then my friend jumped on the tractor and couldn't remember how to stop it.

One of the sickest was when one of the goats died and the teacher decided to cut her open for us to see. She was like a pet.

The bench people. Who were the bench people? They were big dorks who played tag during lunch period.

Why is this a fond memory? Moe read many good books during lunch period.

heh finding out my 733mb studnet folder crashed the whole student folder system

watching the kids slam into the milk vending machine, and stealing the fallen milk bottles

there are more, just cant think of them now.

I think my fondest moment so far, as I am still in school, was in Biology class. We were having a discussion, more like an argument on stem cell research. Well it was my turn to talk, I said that I was definitely in support of it. Well, when this came out of my mouth the entire class erupted, because I was the only up to that point who had said that.

I asked the class to be quiet so I could explain my reasons for my opinion. They actually went silent and let me talk, well except for a few of course. I explained to them that they would probably feel the same way if they were in my shoes. I asked random kids if they had to go to bed every night worrying that their blood sugar would go too high, or drop and there would be no one there to find them in time. I asked them if they would like looking forward to a future where they would most likely lose a lot of their abilities to function. Basically, I ranted for about 20 minutes.

In the end I was very proud of myself because I never speak up in school, I am normally very shy.

And to DD: I'd be proud too

one of my fond memories is that my english room was right next to the girls netball courts...

it was quite hard to concentrate on Shakespeare...


*bouncy bouncy*

Haha, that is a great story Anson, did you get your butt whooped for it? I would hate to have a principal like that, although, in middle school, I got in pretty big trouble for shaving my head. But then again, I live in a relatively religious neighborhood, and I am not religious, so they were basically looking for a reason to punish me. I hated that school.

(I kept the buzz cut for 3 years. There were no concrete rules on it from the district, so they really had no say in the matter.)

Graduation. Not just for the reason of getting out of school, but moving on to bigger and better things. Graduation really was my most proud, and greatest moment of school.

My fondest memories were in high school..
Drama class was the best!! but that was back 25 yrs ago!! ..Geeze getting old here..

Too cute Anson..I would had done the same..my first grade teacher was very abusive as well..wasnt soon after my mom put her in her place tho..lmao..
