Cubes and School

[Cloud_9ine]

This thread is for anytime you had your cube at school, and a teacher/administrator/etc. got pissed.

Today I was in Honors-Bio and we were doing a lab, in order to move on, we had to talk to the teacher. As I waited at the desk since there was a line, I thought I might as well work on my 2x2x3 to pass time because I knew it would be a few minutes before I would get up. Then one of the other students was saying to put it away were doing a lab. I proceed to explain that I'm just waiting in line to ask her something, but the teacher just heard him and took it away for the period.

So post your own.

I've never had a teacher get angry at me for cubing because I value my education above cubing, so I don't cube in classes (normally ). However, I often annoy my classmates cubing at breaktimes, and several teachers have said they think I am a genius. (lol)

i had a massive pop during science. i was like oh shoot!. my teacher took it for the period. but later that week he was like ur good with puzzles right. and he asked me to solve his square-1. i thought it was weird how he had a square-1 just lying around. whatever

once, someone (sneaky...) told one of the coaches in gym class that I could solve the cube "fast," and I got called up and had to solve that person's cube. I got timed, and since the cube sucked, I got 25 secs (fail)...and the coaches were asking me if I did math a lot or whatever, and I said "no," and they're like, "so you were just born this way?"

I bring my cube to school every day, and every day everyone tells me to put it away.

Hey, it's a rhyme! It's a poem

I've gotten cubes banned from my middle school two years ago.

One of my teachers is always bragging he's "better then me on the rubik's cube"

One day I asked him to show me and the next day he showed up with a revolution

another teacher once gave me an all yellow cube he got at Cebit, I like it because it's like double the size of a normal one, I just have to find stickers


But because I don't cube in class no one really minds

A teacher threatened to throw my Ice Cube in the trash today. And I honestly don't think she was joking.

But I only take a cube to school once or twice a week.

I was in math today and i was cubing while we were reviewing. I was listening and solving, so that i was still participating. Then the kid next to me asked if he could scramble it and i said yes. the next thing i know the teacher is yelling at him because he wasn't paying attention. so he said, "Why don't you ever take it away from him?" (referring to me) the teacher said, "Because he knows what he is doing and not ignoring me, so give it back and pay attention." He was jealous...

My teachers (except my math teacher) don't let me take cubes to class, but I have more trouble with the students. I get made fun of a lot and I wore my Cube Junkies shirt to school today and got beat up.

Me one of my buddies were in class (7th grade, about 2/5ths into the year) and the teacher took away his cube...he didn't get it back until the end of the year.

At first, my teacher thought I was a genius, now, she's pissed off.

I usually bring two cubes to school every day (at least one) because I hate when someone asks to play with my cube and then just scrambles it slowly. Also I bring my extremely loose I cube in between classes (I have a 10 minute passing time, so I usually get to class early), during most of my free periods, and at my (mandatory ) sport -- cardio/weight training.
Everyone knows that I cube.
Now, since I'm trying to switch to ZZ, people always ask me I'm taking more than 40 seconds to solve it...

Lol, I'm getting the same thing with Roux. First my parents, then my brother and sister, and today people at school started asking. They were actually freaked out by the way I did M'.

Once, I was secretly cubing under my desk, and there was a humoungus pop. it made a really loud noise in the middle of my science class. my teeacher took it away and didn't give it back for a week.

Ouch...fellow students "make fun of" me daily, but is usually jokingly, and not ever taken to a physical degree.

Do kids get beaten up often in your school(district)?
What grade are you in?

Last year, I wasn't allowed to cube in any of my classes except for History. The teacher would time me and stuff, make bets over homework about it and sometimes scribble on the white side. Haha, he was there when I started at around 2 minutes all the way until I was sub-25. It was fun .

This year none of my teachers care, a few people do it now. I solved it for one of my teachers since she found out my youtube, and she called me evil, she said solving it made me evil . Another teacher also think I'm a genius and another's husband learned how to cube because my teacher told him that I could do it.

Whoa...best history teacher ever...
