Who here never served a day in detention

[LynneSin]

I thought we deserved our own thread. It wasn't that I was much of a goody-two shoes but just learned how to avoid trouble. And since I didn't smoke or do anything naughty I just never ended up in the principle office.

[ZombieNixon]

1. Never seen a second of detention.

Suspension, on the other hand...

[LynneSin]

7. Never was suspended either

[ZombieNixon]

8. Detention's for amateurs.

Real trouble-connosieurs go in for the serious stuff!

[Beall]

60. I wish

Wasn't a bad kid. I was actually head of the student body and i still caught a detention or two for tardies. I couldnt even get off so no one could definitely!!

[Roland99]

2. *raises hand*

[miss_american_pie]

3. Me neither

The quiet ones generally fly under the radar.

[Left Is Write]

4. I was never on detention or suspension or anything of the kind.

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Now, why would I have guessed that?

[Left Is Write]

11. Does it show?

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Yup

You're probably the most well-behaved person at DU.

'Course, that ain't sayin' much...

[Left Is Write]

18. I hear that sort of thing a lot...

I'm beginning to think I'm the most boring person on the planet!

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Boring?

With those pics?

Hardly. :loveya:

[Left Is Write]

27. And here I thought you liked me for my twisted little mind.

:crazy:

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. I'm not discounting that

I'm just expressing appreciation for its house.

[texanwitch]

5. I never did, I would have got into to much trouble at home if I did.

[lizziegrace]

6. Didn't see detention or suspension

big surprise :eyes:

[Texasgal]

9. This thread is gonna sink

Like a ton o' bricks! :evilgrin:

[LynneSin]

62. Hey TG - 61 posts and counting and it didn't sink

Nerdy Goody-Two Shoes Students UNITE!!!

[Shine]

12. Me!

:thumbsup:

[Missy Vixen]

13. I'm in

I never was suspended or had any kind of detention. I was scolded for skipping study hall as a senior in high school, though. (My principal was also my Sunday School teacher. Oh, the humanity.)
I was more afraid of my parents than I was the police. I might also mention that my sister did everything I never did and didn't get in trouble for it. :mad:

Julie

[Ellen Forradalom]

14. Me neither.

They never noticed I was tripping.

[GOPisEvil]

15. Never! I had my moments, but I never got detention.

I knew how far I could go. :D

[LynneSin]

19. That was exactly how I was

By my senior year I knew the system well enough that I new just how far I could go without being caught!

[Gormy Cuss]

17. Didn't have detention in our school system.

We did have the principal and vice principal's "see me " lists every day. I refuse to address whether I ever made those lists...

[richmwill]

20. Never spent a second in detention. Know why?...

Because when I was told to go to it- I walked out of the office, threw the card out, and went home at the end of the day. And nothing ever happened when I did that.

Does that "count"? :D

[qnr]

21. ummm never detention - However, there was the 18 months in Reform School

<cough>

[nini]

23. once - but it doesn't count because the teacher was a psycho

a psycho in a Catholic high school. Everyone got in trouble in her class. Mine was for laughing at another's joke :eyes: My mom didn't even get mad when she was told why I had detention.


Other than that I never got in trouble. I was an angel O8)

[elshiva]

24. NEVER! All I ever got was 3 minutes on the bench

at the beginning of recess in the third grade for chewing on a pencil.
:shrug: I was a quiet person and always did my homework because there was nothing better to do.

[democracyindanger]

25. Nerds.

NERDS!

[LisaL]

26. Not me. And nobody else in my school. We didn't have

detention.

[struggle4progress]

28. Ha! They couldn't never prove nuthin! eom

[maveric]

30. I just never showed up.

This was the early 70's and they didn't get too serious about that stuff back then.
Now they expel you for not attending.

[datasuspect]

31. i was invisible in school too

spent more time smoking reefer in the football field than anything else.

[TimeChaser]

32. No detention, no suspension, nothing

Yes, I am a nerd :)

[Rowdyboy]

33. I was a smart, nerdy "ghost" who stayed out of trouble until college....

But thats another story altogether!

I was the TBLBINTWWW (The best little boy in the whole wide world) in high school. I didn't cause problems, paid attention, and worked hard, only skipping one day in high school. I can honestly say I got an excellent education.

I was as exciting as a rock, naive, and horny.

Then I went to college...........

[Maine Mary]

34. Me...(both hands waving and a big smile)

:evilgrin:

I did stuff but only once was caught. The principle didn't beleive it and let me go without my saying a word. :-)

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

35. I was so NOT a rebel I was a student librarian

It's illegal for librarians to be detained. Or if it's not, it should be...

Good Lord, was all that REALLY thirty five years ago?

[Missy Vixen]

40. I was a student librarian, too!

Beware the bookworms...

Julie

[mvd]

36. I didn't

I was the type that if I got chastised for talking, I stopped.

[unsavedtrash]

37. spent a lot of time there. I was a very bad kid

[TheBaldyMan]

38. I thought you meant in a prison cell !

back in my day naughty schoolkids were put in the stocks so doesn't apply to me

[hfojvt]

39. I never did

but I was late once, and the principal yelled at me for getting a late slip (it took two to get detention)

[FuzzySlippers]

41. Goody-two-shoes checking in.

:hi:

[grasswire]

42. one day I dressed up in a long slinky fringe-y dress....

....and danced through the band room to perch on Mr. Holland's piano like a regular vamp.

Oh wait. That didn't happen.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

43. detention? - try suspension

[Patiod]

44. Side benefit of Well Rounded Student image

1. Tell teachers you had a yearbook/debate/lacrosse meeting/tournament/game
2. Walk to the resevoir and get high with stoner friends instead
3. No detention!

[Strong Atheist]

45. Me . nt.

[hyphenate]

46. We didn't have detention in the old days

I don't recall much punishment in HS, but perhaps it was simply to stay after school--I guess that's as equivalent as you can get to "detention." I don't think I ever endured it, though--if I stayed after school, it was to work on the school magazine or hold a club meeting.

[mikeytherat]

47. Detention+parents called in 'cuz I questioned the word "Citizenship"

In the third grade, I got a B+ in "Citizenship." I asked how I could get anything less than an "A," as I was a citizen of the United States. I opined that I could not vote (far too young!), and letters written by children to congress-critters are most often received with an "Aw, shucks, ain't that cute" attitude, and a form letter is sent in response. When the principal and my teacher (Miss Judy) described what, exactly, was their definition of "Citizenship" (desk tidy, nice to classmates, respectful to adults, yadda, yadda, yadda), I suggested the word for which they were grasping was "Samaritan-ism," not "Citizenship." They felt I was challenging their authority; I stated I was simply pointing out that they were wrong.

I've got another good one from high school, involving a trig teacher and his confusing the terms "relative" and "relevant," but that's a post for another day...

[flvegan]

48. Never. Not once.

I never got in any trouble because I never did anything wrong. Matter of fact, I've never misbehaved or been disobedient in my life. I'm a good boy.

[LostinVA]

49. Not me! I was a goody-ggody all through school

[kick-ass-bob]

50. I had in school suspension, but never held after school or anything.

I just never got caught skipping. :evilgrin:

[zanne]

51. What's the matter with you people?

Not once in detention? Have you no imagination?

[Orsino]

52. School was already dull enough...

...and it was easy never to get in serious trouble. Why would I have wanted to trade down to an even duller experience that might have cut into my time?

My imagination demanded more stimulation than that. ;-)

[Blue Diadem]

53. Me..and I was followed around by a boy in HS who called me a

brown noser. What hurt the most was that I had a big crush on him back then.

[merh]

54. Okay, when you say "detention"

do you mean like in school or other?

[liberalhistorian]

55. I never had a demerit or one

detention all through junior high and high school. It wasn't just that I was one of those disgustingly annoying goody-two-shoes, which I suppose I mainly was, for the most part.

But it was also that I was terrified of what my stepdad would do to me, a thought that kept me from giving in to any temptation to join with any kind of prank or with the bad kids. Sometimes, I wish I'd given in to that temptation once in awhile, lol.

[bikebloke]

56. Good kid

Neither suspension, nor suspension. Not even held after school. I was wallpaper.

[SharonRB]

57. Me

[Beausoir]

58. Not one time. I could usually talk my way out of it.

Looking back..what a bullshitter I was!

[azmouse]

59. I didn't.

O8)

[tigereye]

61. that would be me

I tended to have a pack of already signed passes in my pocket that a teacher gave me ( I was lit editor of the yearbook, I guess that was why), so I could be in the hall with impunity if necessary.

also voted most studious, so there you go.

[SOteric]

63. Nope, no detention.

:hi:
