Today, I poured my heart out into what had to be my greatest set of lyrics for my band ever, at the same time my teacher was explaining chemical changes to the class. At the end of the lecture he picked up my paper, and set it on fire to demonstrate a chemical change. FML

I am a teacher. Even if a student is not paying attention in class, I would never take their piece of paper away and set it on fire. Tell them to put it away, yes. Confiscate it for the rest of the period, yes. But destroying something of a student's is completely disrespectful. Some might argue that it's disrespectful to do other work during class, and I'd agree. However, the teacher shouldn't have taken that harsh of a measure to discipline him. Being a teacher doesn't give you license to be a bitch.

I doubt he would just pick up a random sheet of paper, but maybe he did it because he though you were doodling or doing homework for another class. Either way, YDI for not paying attention to the task at hand!

This! I'm willing to bet he picked your piece of paper on purpose because it was so obvious you were writing something besides notes.

Perhaps if you were to actually do what you were meant to do... Fool. YDI

You deserve it for not paying attention in class. Your band probably sucks anyway

Yes, I am sure the lyrics would have changed the course of music history. Pay attention in class and save the emotional outpouring for your own time.

He never said it would change music history. He said it was good for a HS band. It's probably not going to make it big. But they could be REEEEEEELY good and he could save them for another band that makes it big u know. O and for all u idiots who are saying they sucked. F U. He didn't post the lyrics so u don't know. He could be a seinor and have been writting songs since like 6th or 7th grade. So yall are idiots. Even if it did suck. I've turned a shitty sing into a AWSOME song. Just by working on it for a little bit. So yes it might suck. But it could turn out good anyways

Can we have more teachers like you?

I'm a chemistry teacher and I'm going to remember this idea and use it often...YDI ;p

I like how #21 is right above you on that one, lulsy.

your band probably sucks anyway. how many high school bands matter to anyone. life isn't high school musical buddy get a life.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j0-85jWzvk Green Day as High School seniors, 4 years before they became famous. Notice the people just looking at them and laughing.

I wondered if your name had anything to do with their song. People don't seem to get how important music is. I wrote an English paper recently about it. OP, FYL and YDI. I understand that some things only hit at certain times, but you might wanna pay good attention to important classes like these in the future. = /
