School trouble, help needed.

diusmr8a504cvk

Well lads, I'm in 5th Year and today whilst walking down the hallway there were drops of blood on the floor and a few people gathered around it until the Deputy Principal wiped it up with tissue. As I was walking by I said "Must be that time of the Month again" kinda loudly although I only really meant to say it to the lad beside me. The Deputy Principal heard me and sent me to the Principal's office. He shouted at me for a minute or so asking me "what was so funny about it?" and I replied saying "there was nothing funny about it" as I truly regretted it and admitted I was foolish to do it. He then asked me who I was saying it to and I told him that I was saying it to the lad beside me, I didn't really know who was beside me but I knew that they were in my year. He told me to think of a better excuse and sent me out of the Office and into the hallway for the remainder of the day. When the school bell rang he told me he'd continue with the conversation in the morning and that I better have "A good damn excuse".

So, does anyone have any suggestions for what I should use as an excuse tomorrow? The problem with my principal is that he'd ignorant and doesn't let you speak for yourself. I guarantee tomorrow that he will at some point interrupt me and say that I' talking crap. I realise that I'm wrong and that I shouldn't have done it and I really don't know what t say as an excuse tomorrow. All help is extremely appreciated.


P.S: I won't be suspended because if I was going to be suspended I would have been put in front of the Board of Discipline by now. If this post is in the wrong section feel free to move it, just wanted to get it typed up really.

Just tell them it was the time of the month when the Satanic society do their blood ritual.

Sorted.

Also, come out as gay or something.

magicmushroom

I wouldn't worry, you'll just get a telling off.
They can't suspend you or anything over that!
Just say you're sorry, listen to the ear-bashing and off you go.

FloatingVoter

In the good old days it would have been five whacks of the cane and a swift buggering. Tell him he's letting the teachering profession down by not being a sexual deviant.
Then get a job and stop making **** up.

Reoil

Just admit you made an age-old menstruation joke and take what you're given.
What's the worst that can happen? Sodomy?

razorblunt

Ah a talking ghost!

iDave

Tell him he wouldn't last 5 minutes in the private sector where you have to worry about real things.

Littlekittylou

It was your time of the month?

Ah sorry, just say it was a silly joke and your sorry it won't happen again. If he gives you too much hassle he is being a bit harsh.

Your excuse is 'I'm young I don't always realize where and when is the appropriate time to make a joke'.

Your principal's on his period.

SEPT 23 1989

Yes, come on imagine your school days and throwing that at your principal and the sheer shocked looked you would of gotten.

matban

Tell him it was a joke, a private joke between friends.

Stand up to him, look him in the eye, show no fear.

The Backwards Man

When I was at school we didn't have the internet to sort out excuses for our corridor misdemeanours. Say the cat ate it or something.

Have a nice day

In my opinion it's brinkmanship on the part of your principal. He just wants to scare you and make you fear him.

Walk in there, head held high and say. "I have already apologised. There was a brain to mouth disconnect on my part and it will not happen again."

If he does not accept this, casually mention that you spoke to your parents and they have accepted your account and ye have all moved on.

kneemos

Don't worry about it's an old tactic they use . You're supposed to to sweating a brick while waiting in the corridor or in your case overnight.

The Diabolical Monocle

Ask him why after choosing to work in a secondary school full of teen and adolescent lads is he shocked to hear a joke related to sex/reproduction.

Then tell him to stfu, read his job description 100 times, and that you've got study to do.

Micky Dolenz

Listen to me carefully and do each step exactly as it's stated.

1: Burn school down tonight.
2: Tomorrow, go to Bob, on Dorset street behind the Spar, tell him Micky sent you. He will give you all the documents you need to start a new life.
3: Move to Mexico.

Littlekittylou

I had a male teacher once who when you shook his hand would try to crush it. Literally painful. One of the junior infants bit him once. When he got her off she screamed 'I want to bite your eyeballs' and then cried. She may also have had a little accident.

Her name was Gracie she was always scratching people's faces.

It was his fault he shouldn't have squeezed her hand so hard.

fatherted1969

Tell him to fcuk off and don't be listening into your private cpnversations. Best of luck in your next school op

Earl Turner

Sound like your principal is on the rag. Anyway I wouldn't worry too much, he's probably terrified one of the girls heard you and will complain about sexism. Probably found it funny himself.

You're getting a telling off whether you come up with a good excuse anyway.

It's like getting caught by the Gardai for speeding 'what's the excuse?'

Best thing to do is admit you have none and it was a stupid comment to make and won't happen again. Then take whatever earful he gives. Just looking to scare you that's all.

There's a good chance he won't even talk to you tomorrow and will take enjoyment out of having you worry all this evening about it.

Thanks for all the replies including the humorous ones, all the people on this have a great sense of humour. Don't worry, I'm not afraid and I know how to stand my ground as I've been given out to before for being too defiant and folding my arms when talking to teacher as they said this was a "Defence Mechanism".

Earl Turner

Shoot the school up and go out in a blaze of glory.

jamesbere

Tell him your humour is hiding the stress your under because of the strike on Tuesday. That one day off might have a massive impact on the rest of your life.

PizzamanIRL

You could just tell him the truth. You were trying to be funny. It's fecking school. You'll look back in 5 years and realise how ridiculous principals are when it comes to controlling pupils. He can't punish you.

Or you simply say "What I meant was it must be that time of the month for blood to appear on the floor", and you will get away with it. As stupid as it sounds, it's all you have to say. He doesn't know for a fact you said it as a joke about period.

RossieMan

ah im disappointed in AH.

No one has told him to get his lad out. Awful stuff.

The_Valeyard

Sweet F all you can do about it.

Hands up, bad joke, wasn't meant for him to hear it.

Quick Q , is your school mixed? Maybe he was worried some of the girls could be offended by the joke? He might have had to give Ya a telling off for it so.

Nothing will come of it. Lads have done far worse in school. Myself included.

BBJBIG

Tell that Daft Kunt that you were merely talking to yourself - cos you have a mental disorder - and, you
are displaying the first signs of Madness.

Then - start answering yourself back - another sign of madness.

Then - start lookin for Hairs on the palm of your Hand.

That should do it to convince the fooooker that you are a harmless eeeejit ... and a bit Mad.

Start watching some Grange Hill, it is school based and bound to have some pointers.

Say the exact same thing you said last time and then when he says "so you've no better excuse?" or whatever, you roar this word for word at the top of your lungs.

: "Sir, NEGATIVE, sir! Sir, the student believes any answer he gives will be wrong! And that the Principle will only beat him harder if he reverses himself, SIR!"

If done correctly he will ask you who the prefect in your year is, and then call that kid into the office and tell him he's being replaced by you.

Summer wind

Take a tip from Fr jack and say "I'm so so so sorry" and if that doesn't work hit him with your brick.

stimpson

Three pages in an nobody had come up with the correct answer.

Tell him to cop the fcuk on and if he wants to take it any further you'll tell the guards he touched you in your special place. Give him a big smile and run out of his office crying.

vandriver

Is the deputy principal male or female.You didn't mention.

Pinch Flat

Happened to me one evening. Chatting to a girl in a bar, we were getting along great then she suggested we go back to her place, but that there would be no action as she was on her menstural cycle. I asked her for a cross bar home. She went to the jacks and never came back.

MRnotlob606

Stick it to the man. voices of discontent need to be heard in places with a organisational structure .

The other fella

I remember the anxiety i used feel when i got in that kind of trouble in school, it used seem like the worst thing.

Looking back now, it was complete pointless, needless worry.

My only regret is not getting in even more trouble and increasing my school rep a bit

I work in the private sector and have never worried about real things.

Tell him you've reported yourself to the Equalities Commission and you cannot comment whilst there is an open investigation.

Alternatively, just say no, no better excuse. What's the worst that can happen?

Donkey Oaty

"Must be that time of the month?"

I'm shocked that we are even discussing this.

Sure that's the kind of remark that you'd expect a school kid to come out with.

sammy37

Also you better hope he does not read boards as you called him fairly ignorant in your opening post. Now that would really add fuel to the fire and make your deputy principal blow his top if he is already that touchy about things.

fleet_admiral

If the head is female and she starts screaming at you ask her is she on the rag

Donkey Oaty

We also need to rule out the possibility that it was indeed due to one of the girls who was having their period, and who also happened to be within earshot of OP.

Vice P had to do something to diffuse the conversation in that case, and would be onside in this situation.

In which case, OP should plead ignorance of the facts, and beg Lord Sugar to let him remain in the process because he has learnt from what happened.

Damn! Are you my eldest? Did you most recently get into trouble for standing your ground against the Principal and 3 other teachers for wearing the wrong colour t-shirt under your uniform (even though your hair is pink at the moment)? Oh no, wait...that was the second last time. Last was for persistent drawing in Irish, and I was dragged in...


Gotta love teenage lads :cool: Just nod, smile and make promises OP. That's what I tell my eldest. Only 5 months to go, thank fcuk.
