I was listening to a song that was... well I must admit had inappropriate language and the teacher in the classroom told me to turn it off or leave. I proceeded to tell him the message of the song was not trash like he was claiming it to be but in turn I switched it off to another song., Love Lockdown by Kanye, he proceeded to tell me to leave his classroom immediately. Stupid redkneck school. I am livid and I should go off and tell them just how judgemental and disgusting this whole school is.
What class are you allowed to listen to music in? I find it annoying when people listen to their ipods in class(though this doesn't seem to be what your talking about), but that's just because I have really sensitive hearing and can't stand bad music.
you should've changed it to a country song and waited to see what he did then, i've had to use this tactic on some teachers back in the day. 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...
I wish people wouldn't listen to music during class in the first place, especially since not all the other students have the same taste as you.
Although i disagree with you DP because others shouldn't have to not enjoy themselves because they choose to do it in a way you don't approve of, i think you have a certain point,
a question, was it with earbuds? or was it out loud, and if it was out loud were some of the students still working?
Like you said, if you want to listen to your music you could just use earbuds, and not have them turned up so loud the whole room can hear it.Quote:

I agree, but our definitions of discipline are not the same...Quote:

Shaelyn, you're sounding incredibly immature and ignorant. You make a stain on other people who have a legitimate complaint about how education or society treats them. You're supposed to LEARN in school, not kick back and listen to music, especially if you're blasting it for other students who actually want to learn and concentrate and who may not like the music. I would get in trouble in school for showing my iPod, period.
For the record, I really, really freakin hate BOTH rap and country. But that's off-topic. Never assume that someone likes country crap just because they don't like rap.
That's what I was thinking too, but I'd like some clarification from the OP before making that assumption. Why were you listening to music in class? Is this study hall or something? Is music allowed in class? Were you listening with headphones? Nothing about this makes sense to me, so hopefully you can clear it up. But honestly if I was in class and someone started playing rap music I would be pretty pissed. This is incredibly disrespectful and distracting to other students and to your teacher. :?Quote:

Are you doubting that people want to learn or that she was blasting it? It sounds like your doubting that people want to learn, which is pretty fucking retarded. I know that sometimes this is true, that the majority of students in a class don't give two shits about what is being taught, but this is terrible situation. The whole point of school is to learn, if you don't want to learn don't go to school. I really think that for a country founded on the idea of liberty we have gone completely in the opposite direction in the last 100 years.Quote:

Basically the American school system is totally fucked. If I have kids I'm either moving to Europe(though I have no reason to believe it's any better) or more likely homeschooling them.

I think he had a reasonable ratio of non-expletives to expletives.
I mean, give the poor fuck a fucking break, for fuck's sake.
What everyone here meant to say is:
How do you know you got kicked out of class for "Rap" music, as opposed to just playing music in class (which would make perfect sense)?
I'm sticking to my preconceptions and mistaken perceptions of this thread.
It's about being kicked out of class for rape in my mind.
