i trusted the teachers, that was the biggest mistake i ever made (and there are some doozys) but telling someone to kill herself already because im sick of her whining didnt go down too well with the papers...especially seeing as a few months later she did (all the 'proffsionals' involved in the case said eminem made her do it 
)

Hmm. Its been a while since I graced the halls of education, but if I recall..
I was once nearly responsible for the death of a mate called Jonny. In chemistry, we were instructed to find the most efficient way to collect hydrogen from a metal/acid reaction. I remember using a test-tube, bung, couple of clamp stands and a very heavy glass gas syringe. My work mate and I collected ( if memory serves ) 70ml of pure Hydrogen in our syringe.
Well everyone knows how you test for hydrogen right? Normally, you put a piece of ignited splint to the top of the test-tube and watch for a flame. This is normally perfectly safe.
However, doing the same to the end of a piece of tubing attached to a very very heavy glass syring full of pressurised hydrogen is not advised. We, in effect, created a very small glass cannon.
The plunger is solid glass and weighs around 1lb.
Jonny's face was around 2 feet from the plunger end of the syringe.
Luckily for him, the string attaching the plunger to the syringe was around 1 foot long.
I remember the noise mostly. It really did sound like a bomb going off. We later found out it was audible from any room in the science block. Jonny's pale shivering face is quite memorable too, mind you.
Pretty efficient, eh?

Well, I'm still in school... but probably the famous episode where, after school, I was playing tag with Tharkun and one of her friends (Thar's my sister) and I was looking behind me and I ran through a window. It didn't hurt much, and my dad was really worried (he was talking to a teacher behind me) and I was like "See, I'm all right!" turning my arms over (Only my arms went through) and then when I turned them over again my left one had a huge pool of blood running down to my elbow... I could've died, the cut on my wrist was about a milimeter from that big vein in my wrist. Now I've got two scars on my forearm, and one looks like I was trying to split my wrists 
that was in first grade... and so one time when I was going to the school conselor's office (my science teacher wanted me to go get one of his students from there) the guy thought I was suicidal and I was trying to explain that I was just down here to get Luke... arg.

My sophomore year of high school for whatever "creative" scheduling reason, I had been placed in a freshman science class. I didn't realize it until days after school started when the teached had started a new section (something I had learned the previous year.
At the moment I had yelled loudly that I was in the wrong class as soon as it clicked (I was sitting right next to the teacher so I think he got the point *coughs*)

Hm....
-I called a teacher mommy once back in....2nd grade.
-Another embarrassing thing for me is just when we have swimming class, seeing as I can't dive and everyone else can....Can anyone say 'bellyflop'? ^.^;;
-Leaned back in a chair a little too far, fell backwards...And my science teacher went 'Where'd she go?' and the whole class started laughing.

Mind you, I've done TONS of stupid things at school, afterwards I feel like I want to crawl into a hole. *A hole appears* Thank You *I crawl in*
-I've called a teacher 'mommy' in third grade
-I almost tripped on the stairs more than once
-I swore in front of teachers repeatedly
-I skipped class once and then called my mom to pick me early cause I felt sick, and they couldn't find me XD
-My teacher wanted me to staple something to a bulletin board, but I couldn't open the stapler and told my friend to open it. She couldn't either, so I told my teacher. He opened it with no effort
-I've spilled things on my pants repeatedly and walked around with them the whole day
-I spilled salt all over a table while doing a lab
And many more that I can't remember!

It has been a while. Hydrogen test is 'squeaky-pop'.

I've said it many times before Jim....you are just pure evil. * tackles Jim with a hug*
And I never did anything in school. At least nothing I can remember. I was little miss shy/innocent.
My dad however.....put M-80's in the toilets, let loose a bunch of frogs in one of the hallways, and also put a bike rack and a cow on the roof of the school. Not at the same time, of course. He still won't tell anyone how he got the cow up there...

I would have loved to see all of that. My dad was almost exactly like yours

I had a cold once and I blocked the toilet with toilet paper, this happened over three days until the headmaster gave a speech during assembly that he was onto the band of vandals messing with the toilets and would soon catch them...

A few months ago, I was getting off the bus and talking to my friends at the same time. I remember I got off the stairs, turned right and smashed right into some pole. My friends were laughing so hard and so was I. The weird thing is that I was really tired and sleepy on the bus (It was 8:20am) but after I smashed into that pole, I felt awake which never happens that early.

oh, I had a friend who liked to grab my leg as we went up the stairs from algebra to psychology class. One day he grabbed my leg and pulled so I fell backwards down the flight of stairs. One of the most embarrassing moments of my life.
That and uh..*coughfartingcough* when there was a guest speaker in one of the classes.

-Playing soccer, till evening, got caught by teachers(we are only allowed to play till 5).
-Even before those big exams I plaed soccer. Once, I went to a friend's house to play soccer. Another friend told his dad to pick him up in school, and his father waited, waited...then the teachers got roped in and my friends and I were caught. Luckily the discipline master let us off.
-More recently, I played soccer before an exam. Having little confidence in the subject, I still went to play. When I cam in for the exam I was so sweaty, the examiner asked why I was so wet, if anyone dumped water on me.
-Even more recently, during a 2 and a half hour olympiad, I told the teacher I need to go to the toilet, but went to buy a bottled soft drink, and secretly drank it during the olympiad. She saw it, but luckily took no action.
