What is the most ridiculous reason you got detention back in high school?

*Principal had dementia but wouldn't quit, was suspended for fighting. It was 1st grade, had no idea what was going on. Didn't fight anyone...yet

*PE teacher wanted me to run a mile, I said no and chose to walk, he pushed me from behind until I defended myself. 3rd grade. (Later found I had been born with breathing and heart issues in 6th grade, apparently ignoring signs of chest pain is bad. Very bad.)

*teacher attacked me, I beat up teacher. This actually occured 3 times, 5th grade, 6th, and 7th. Each time SRO reviewed video and found I was attacked and defended myself. Teachers had a learning disability and didn't understand, caused incident to repeat once a year. They kept thinking it was okay to grab me, I corrected it every time, they ignored all warnings from me to step back and let go so I felt no mercy in defending myself however and whatever it took. The 3rd time the principal said "I don't know what to say at this point" in a closed meeting with parents and lawyer. All four were not fired idk why.

*had panic attack prior to entering classroom, found a quite place to get my shit together, teacher hunts me down brings me to classroom and yells at me in front of everyone. Knocked him down and damaged 2 other students trying to "defend him" by preventing me from leaving. Suspended pending charges until a lawyer came and proved it was their fault for taunting and provoking as well as attempting to detain me. This was actually college... And he was supposed to be warned ahead of time not to yell at me. They didn't warn him. (Why the fuck we need to specifically warn teachers not to yell, attack, or grab specific students is beyond my understanding.)

*suspended for being near other people who were fighting, took this one to school district to get it sorted. I was in lunch line and they just assumed I was involved despite zero evidence, video, and lunch dude witness, just that I was nearby. This was reversed when we asked for proof and witness statements on paper from the district itself rather than the school.

I was given panic and anxiety disorders caused by teachers, by 7th-ish grade I had a free non-profit lawyer for kids with learning disabilities being abused by school districts. My lawyer said "Your a magnet for this stuff and I've never seen anything like it." By 8th grade we had an agreement to never be alone with anyone, not even the principal was allowed to be in a room alone with me, only exception was SRO. I was also allowed to go to the SRO at any time for anything as part of an agreement to not file additional complaints (sueing). The argument was "Nobody should prevent a child from contacting police, for anything." and we stopped short of getting a court order to enforce this. And yes, it is a felony to prevent 911 calls but apparently teachers are above the law.

In reality, I had so many fucked up school experiences by 4th grade that I wasn't learning shit by 5th, just constantly scared shitless and paranoid. School was war. 95% of this crap was brought on by my dad who believed heavily in public schools, repeatedly, year after year. We told him public schools are trash and he believed differently. He also thought sports coaches were nice people... I don't talk to him much anymore.

Teachers following me home, attacking me, attempting to kidnap me, stalking my bus stop, lieing about all sorts of shit, non-certified substitutes, "contracts" that they forced me to sign, parent shaparones fucking up. I learned to survive using violence and I regret nothing. Schools collect mentally unwell individuals in my state and make them teachers, I think it's because they're paid so little they take whomever walks in. (New Mexico.)

I made friends with SRO's who were my hero's of the time. I could always run to them for help, sometimes literally. They would force teachers to solve things using words and logic, and they hated it when they had to explain themselves to another adult. I thought SRO's were there to monitor teachers until I was 20 and somebody corrected me.

I ended up getting a degree after highschool, proving many people wrong. It took a lawyer to do it though. I refuse to even drive on the same street as some schools, even driving on those streets makes me uncomfortable 10 years later. Sometimes I feel like I can't slow down in school zones for my own safety, an irrational feeling they could "get" me if I slow down so I avoid them entirely now. I've chosen not to have kids for philosophical reasons, as well as I probably couldn't handle watching them go through school.

Cool side note: I grew to 6'6", I was a tall kid which brought about me physically defending myself around 5th grade when I realised I could. By highschool they actually listen when I spoke and wouldn't try to grab me anymore and yielded warnings, mostly because I was big enough to warrant a danger. Nobody physically grabbed me or attacked me after my massive growth spert, I guess they liked bullying children but not those the same size or bigger.

If your studying disabilities law regarding schools, 2 of my cases made it into a couple textbooks on the subject. I wish my mom had sued at every junction, I'd be retired by now.
