Getting kicked out of class for rap 0_o

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.

OP: down with censorship! down with rednecks! (I feel your pain u_u)

Don't headphones solve that problem?

I see no problem with music whatsoever, as long as it's not loud enough for everyone else to hear. That does get very annoying, but as long as it's at an appropriate level there's nothing wrong with it.

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. :?

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.

It's because people think it's cool to fuck off and do anything other than pay attention that so many people do it. Peer pressure. It's fucking stupid is all it is.

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.

Better as in....

Sorry, but I use expletives when it's necessary. I'm fairly pissed off about the state of the American school system because I have 3 younger siblings in it and I see it's effects everyday. It's cool to be a dumbass in america.

4 times in one post is a little below average for me anyway.:D

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.

This is where i was going... but sort of diverged.

Were you in line with the rules and he was just being an ass or were you breaking the rules and took it as him not liking rap?

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.

That teacher should mind his own fucking buissness

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

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? :lol:

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... :shock:
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...

Day-um your school must be strict :?. My school can be the same sometimes, but it depends what teacher. Some of them let it slide, others don't.

Either that, Or your teacher has a big grudge against rap... Yeah listen to heavy metal next time and see what he does... Or maybe country. If he doesn't kick you out of class for listening to them. Then your teacher is probably a prick. He seems to hate rap.

Why in the world are ipods allowed in your classes? How can a student concentrate while music is being played? Okay, so maybe they can. But it's an annoying ass distraction to people around you.

I go to high school right now. Ipods are out of the question. You can't exactly listen to music whilst listening to your teacher lecture, can you? I don't understand it. Either the curriculum is way too lax and you're not learning anything, or the teacher simply doesn't care.


PS: I go to a backwards redneck place too. You get used to it. :P There are great people everywhere, as long as you're not anti-social about it. Just a side note, not suggesting anything.

My teacher let me listen to music in class while we were typing stuff the other day ^.^
I played motherfucking Green Day. Cussing galore.
She didn't give two shits.

Anyway, I think that teacher is pretty fucking stupid. You changed the song, for God's sake‼

I know you're joking, but it's important to note that the popular kids usually end up successful and make a lot more money than you do. But think they end up working fast food if it makes anyone feel better.

Yea,.. the thing is that you need the soft skills in many of the money shedding branches.

I really hope you offer context for us soon. If listening to music in class is against the rules period and you broke it just to be a little rebel then you should feel very, very ashamed of yourself for even making this thread. :? There's a pretty strong whiff here that the whole truth isn't being presented for consideration.

I'll gladly be corrected. Do so.

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.

It was during free period, in which the other students regularly turn up country and he (the teacher) request certain country songs ergo I know he likes country it was not an assumption. Other students who are "different" by this towns standards have complaints about him as well because he is very judgemental. My music was not loud he came and stood right behind me while I was letting a friend hear the song. Again, it was not during class it was during our hour long free period we have after lunch in which we can go to the computer room (his class) and listen to music, play, or talk. No students were annoyed by the music. He wouldn't have even heard it if he hadn't walked by my desk and it was his choice to stay and listen to the "trash". He could have gone back to his desk and not have been bothered but he decided to discriminate. It was not an ipod it was a song off of the internet...

What song was it?

this song.

Why would you even have that horrible song on your ipod, you'd have to be high to listen to it.

I hate when people play music like that when I'm high. There's so much amazing music in almost every style yet people just listen to whatever gets hyped.


Now this is a song worth getting kicked out of class for.

What a significant thread.

Again, not on my ipod. I was cruzing youtubers and it came up.

Okay, I came here to vent not to hear what a piece of shit person I am for listening to music DURING FREE PERIOD in class. You all are idiots for wasting your time downing me when I was simply uspet for the judgement that was placed on me, and has been since that instance, and decided to vent in a place where it won't come back on me. If its not anything constructive or more sensibly put then I suggest you move on.

You aren't supposed to vent here lolololol

Hey, at least you can listen to music in class. Our school doesn't allow ipods, mp3 players, or cell phones. :(

That's the same with my school. My school didn't allow us to listen to our ipods in class. If you were caught with it they would take it away and make you pay a fine to get it back.

Same here.

This is an awful thread.

^Hear, hear. But I might as well put in my two Canadian pennies and get it over with, because now this thread's really got me going. And once ya pop, the fun don't stop.

Oh yes, the teacher is stupid. Even though it's no big secret that A) listening to music through headphones impedes your hearing and thus impedes a good chunk of the lecture that the teacher is trying to get through, B) the inability to understand the material causes your grade to slip, and C) a high school teacher's salary depends on the grades of his students. Yep. That teacher sure is STOOPID for keeping both his students' and his own best interests in mind. I know if I were a teacher, I sure would want my pay docked by teaching a class full of failing morons. Who needs money, right? Who needs basic education, right?

Seriously, though, are the only people in this thread who are agreeing with the OP nothing more than a bunch of immature little teeny-bopper brats who simply can't stand being told what to do? Grow the fuck up. If you can't even handle a teacher telling you not to use an iPod in class, can you really handle a police officer ticketing you because you want to drive 40 miles over the posted speed limit? Life has rules, people, and although some rules were made to be broken, most of them were made with your best interests in mind. Live with it.

On a side note, I find that the educational system in the U.S., although quite poor at the high school level, is slightly more...just, shall we say, when you reach the college level. College professors won't typically give two shits about this sort of thing. Why? Because they no longer get paid strictly based on your grades. Why, again? Because now you're paying for the classes. Every time some dick flunks a $120 college course that he paid for - due to his own unwillingness to take shit seriously - what do I feel? Sweet, sweet Schadenfreude. It only goes to show that failures are self-made.

Lëzen is so logical and awesome.

If you didn't catch my earlier comment it was during free period, it was not an ipod, we were not in class, and again we are aloud to listen to music. It was the type of music he told me not to listen to... not the music itself. I have since been in the class and listened to country far louder than my rap had been and he did not mind at all... shall I repeat this again just for good measure or are you going to get the point this time instead of making irrational assumptions.

Get what? That according to all you here I was distracting students who were also listening to music much louder than I in an enviroment where I was allowed to listen to music but judged because of the TYPE of music. If he had told me to turn off the music in general I wouldn't be upset but it is the discrimination to the genre that upsets me.
