Today we had to watch an "educational movie" in English and it was about drinking and driving. Well, the cop made a guy take the breathing test thing and on the machine it said, "please blow". My friend and I found that amusing so I decided to write "please blow" on his leg and draw an arrow pointing up (immature yeah, what high school kid isn't?). My teacher then came over and asked us what we were doing. I told him nothing and that I was just writing on my friends leg. He read what was written and wrote both of us up as a level 2 offence. That gives us a Saturday detention. We thought it was so unfair because I mean seriously, how does that deserve a Saturday D-hall? Should we try to fight back with our AP and tell him what we think or should we just take the punishment and go?

Your teacher is only doing this to teach you a lesson. He doesnt want you to make these mistakes in life, and besides, do you really think a teacher would want to spend a saturday supervising detention? No, so try to understand that. Hope i helped!

GDROB answered Tuesday October 4 2005, 8:43 pm: You have to understand that writing please blow on someone's leg pointing to their penis is sexually suggestive and offensive to girls in the class especially if your friend stood up. The teacher was offended by it as well and decided to show you what he thought of something that should not be laughed off in his opinion.
Also, you disrespected him and his class by doing this and not paying attention to the lesson. He is trying to teach you to grow up, wise up and not be immature and actually come to class to learn. The most painful way he can do that is Saturday detentions and trust me he does not want to be there on his weekend with you two either but he is out to prove a point, right a wrong or too, and get you too guys to grow up and not do this anymore wasting your time and his.
Maybe you will think in the future and learn not to get detention or be roped in by others and buckle down and listen to the teacher and learn. Should you fight this?
Don't waste your time once the AP hears what you have to say he will agree with the teacher because you did indeed write something offensive and more importantly to them disrupted the class and there needs to be a lesson learned and penalty assessed.
I hope you see that what the drawing implied is the issue as well as stopping the class and nothing else. It is not personal on his or her part. [ GDROB's advice column | Ask GDROB A Question ]
Imperialistic answered Tuesday October 4 2005, 8:28 pm: My opinion (as an equally immature high school student who has a habit of writing obscene words and phrases on herself and others)
It depends on how strong you are. If it was me, I'd go after the teacher's throat but if you don't want to make any enemies at the start of the year, I'd just put up and go to D-Hall. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
