Haha. Sorry, man. Just figured this to be a shorter, less-repetitive way of making the point.

And there we have it, peer pressure brought to you by the American school of anti-intellectualism. Because it's better to just fit in and be a dough-head so that you're non-threatening and easy to manipulate by corporations and the government (well, I may be a bit redundant by making the distinction).

While we laugh at nerds, the rest of the world laughs at us.

I'm glad I didn't have too much exposure to the public school system. Plenty enough, though.

Aha.

This isn't much it at all.

Then enlighten me on what is it, O wise one.

Dude, learning is for losers and queers.

We don't need no education.

Auto-didact it the fuck up.

If it'll make you feel better, then you can think that.

When I was in High School. They wouldn't allow us to listen to our iPods at all. If you listened to any type of music in class they would take away your ipod, mp3, or cd player away. Then you would have to pay a big fine for having it in class. Then they would keep until the end of the year is over then your parents would have to come and pick it up. It was a load of bullshit. I hate to say this but. I think your teacher has a big grudge against rap music. Teachers can be such asses.

I've always wondered why iPod and MP3 player are always considered two different things.

That teacher should mind his own fucking buissness

I've been kicked out for worse. Kids these days...

It's sad really, that most teachers don't uphold a higher standard of professionalism these days, they consider it just another job and the students to be the just more customers, dumb ignorant immature customers. Some teachers are not like this, but most are from what i've witnessed.

I'm not telling you to get into trouble. I'm saying that if the teacher is being unfair and obnoxious catch him on it and call him out ( in a respectful and mature manner).

I had a math teacher that hated and i mean he hated me and my friend because we were the laid back kids in school, we did our work, we knew most of the school was a joke, so we only took the work seriously, and not the teachers that were asses to the kids.... i mean this was in 10th-12th not as small kids or anything. This math teacher was like 56 and he was of the generation of parenting where the child doesn't speak unless spoken to and ANY reply to ANYTHING he said was "sassing" and "back talking" him. So you see where the clash began? He would give a lesson and if i put my elbows on the desk he would write me up for a whole day of detention... this happened EVERY DAY for a whole semester. Finally me and my friend became fed up with his crap and went to our principal (this principal was a great guy, because his son was in our grade as well so he got to hear the students side of things) an we told him of the ridiculous things this teacher was doing, and he told us he would keep it all in mind, that meant when we made our move he would take into account the WHOLE story, not just the teachers side of things... So me and my friend were sitting in math class a week later and the teacher gave his lesson and handed out work, all the while eyeballing us (he did this everyday the whole time we were in class just waiting for the chance to jump at something we'd do) well me and my friend finished the work and went back to our desks.

I slouched in my chair (this is not a prep school, this is a backwoods country school, no other teacher would ever say anything to you for slouching if your work was done) and my friend coughed (not part of the plan) and the math teacher stood up and yelled at us saying we were juvinile delinquents and needed a proper punishment, that's when me and my friend stood before he could tell us to go to the detention room for the rest of the day, and we said " You're a wonderful math teacher and we've learned a lot from the lessons you've taught, but your way of handling the class with anything other than math is out dated and foolish. Your trying to teach a new generation with old standards that have been tested and failed. You're so full of your own power trip you're willing to ruin a students school carrier because of these ridiculous vendettas you create against "juvenile" delinquents ... We are removing ourselves from your class and switching to another math teacher, but until that is implemented, we're leaving you to your foolish ways" and we walked away from the class... the next day, me and my friend were called into a conference in the principals office with the teacher, and were asked why we disrespected him so, we simply stated "we disrespected him because he repeatedly disrespected us. We've crossed no lines that he hasn't crossed." The principal informed the teacher that more than one student had confessed that his math class was a place dreaded because he ran it like a prison and treated the students like inmates. So we were not punished (the principal applauded our way of going about it after the teacher left the office) and we were moved to a different classroom with a new teacher for math...

The point of the story is that while you are still a child, and must show your elders respect, do not allow them to disrespect you. That's how that card is supposed to work. It's a dual process and when one disrespects the other in such an outrageous manner then that tie is broken. But don't be immature about it and cuss and fuss and break rules in spite o the situation...

That's awesome...

Anyways, I assume you weren't wearing any headphones because the teacher could actually hear it... So I guess he did have a right to tell you to turn it off..

So... headphones?

If the term "Mp3 player" was likened unto the NBA then the iPod would be likened unto Michael Jordan. The iPod IS an Mp3 player, it's just that in the world of music devices.. it pwns.

So, often times, people want to give it its own category.

I understand that, it just bothers me, because there are plenty of good MP3 players that aren't an iPod.

iPod not being an MP3 player might have something to do with the fact that it isn't actually capable of playing MP3. It plays AAC.


edit: huh, actually it does. I thought iTunes converted everything it transfered to the iPod into AAC. Odd. My understanding is that Apple wants people to use AAC (MP4) though, since it can do more.

relax. it was a joke.

-I- was one of those nerdy kids who never had any friends. well, maybe not nerdy per se, but definitely had no friends. in fact, I'm sure very few (if any) of the people who post here are/were very popular in school. we all know that the very popular kids end up either:

a. working in fast food restraunts and living with their mothers when they're 30, probably using the internet only for porn, or;

a. getting knocked up by several different guys and living in a trailer, probably alcoholic or addicted to pills (or both).

see? don't take me seriously. :)

Was that in unison? How long did it take you to practice that?

yep, after the first talk with the principal, we decided that on the next issue we would take that action and that i would be the main speaker and he would go along (as he has a very much shorter temper and can't articulate how he feel easily so he get's upset fast and skips the chance to use his words as an "intelligent weapon")

i also only skimmed the water on the ridiculousness of the things we were placed in detention for, to name a big one: My friend tripped over another guys backpack (no not on purpose, i'd advised him to not act foolish or try anything stupid or we couldn't pull off the honesty and truthfulness) so he trips, sprains his ankle, and the teacher gets him suspended for three days for disrupting the class, when my friend repeatedly apologized and tried to explain it wasn't an artificial accident, to no avail though.

We weren't allowed MP3s and mobile phones when I went to HS. If you're allowed that, you're lucky.

We get forced to send any electronics to the office for the day...
They do bag checks and if anyone has any, they get 2 hours after school. If they do it again, it's a suspension... I'm amazed... I wonder what would happen if we listened to music in class... Probablly an automatic suspension...
