Drunk with power

Today, I finished my classwork and my homework early. Since we weren't allowed to leave the room, I decided to draw. My teacher noticed and gave me detention for "goofing off" when I should be doing my work. When I told the teacher I was already done, they gave me a second detention for "attempting to defy them".

You should have told her to suck your dick for a 3rd one.

...somethings never change. a teacher in the classroom is like Joesph Stalin. if you stand up to him/her, you will disappear.

From the Merrian-Webster entry for 'they' (emphasis mine): usage They, their, them, themselves: English lacks a common-gender third person singular pronoun that can be used to refer to indefinite pronouns (as everyone, anyone, someone). Writers and speakers have supplied this lack by using the plural pronouns . The plural pronouns have also been put to use as pronouns of indefinite number to refer to singular nouns that stand for many persons . *****The use of they, their, them, and themselves as pronouns of indefinite gender and indefinite number is well established in speech and writing, even in literary and formal contexts. This gives you the option of using the plural pronouns where you think they sound best, and of using the singular pronouns (as he, she, he or she, and their inflected forms) where you think they sound best.*****

See, 128, that's what I thought too. Perhaps where CyclonePsycho lives, the situation is different. It's a large world, after all.

sad, happen to me all the time, I got in trouble for asking a friend a math question

You don't like snickerdoodles, so you want her to die? Based on something over the Internet... You are likely mentally disturbed. Please don't listen to the voices, except for the nice one with the accent.

Oh, and 135 brings the dictionary in! I rather expected pendatic to do that... Anyway, you've made your point and settled the minor debate. Thank you, and good night.

Yeah I've gotten in trouble for responding to a teacher when she told me to stop talking... when I wasn't even talking in the first place xD shit happens I guess =/

I know I missed this whole debate but I had to add in reply to #17, back in high school, I actually had a class that had two teachers. it was technically two classes in one room, but the teachers switched off teaching days. May or may not be the same in the OP's case, but it's a thought...

Maybe you should have been using the time to study?

I've been to a few different schools with very different teachers, so maybe it is a little different for me. I suppose it really depends on who you're asking. I dunno, but all ways feel wrong to me (one, they, individual, s/he, etc). I guess "he or she" is the lesser of two evils? Glad to have this settled, though. :)
