Teacher bullying

[TK 421]

I would punch her in the face lol

nah I would just go to a higher authority like the principle, but if he does nothing then go to a higher authority over the principle

i would also if that is permitted by law, sadly it's not permitted

teachers should not have more respect/control of other people's behavior/looks/personal stuff.
teachers, regardless of position. has no higher respect or control whatsoever

stand up for your own self. stop stupid teachers

Actually its a good thing you cant go around punching who ever you want in the face. Especially over something like a cube.

A teacher threw my cube once. I don't bring them anymore.

 

[jiggy]

The moral of the story is that it is, and always will be, dangerous to take your cube into class. There will always be a chance that it gets confiscated. Get used to this, it will only get worse in college. Not only would most of my college professors have confiscated my cube if I brought it to class and started cubing during the lecture, but some of my professors, I know, would have probably kicked me out of the room for it.

I agree with Chris. If I'd have taken my cube into lectures with me, I can't think of a single lecturer who wouldn't have kicked me out for cubing. School/College/Uni is not the place for cubing, follow Chris' advice and get your cubes back, then just leave them at home.

Just as experience from being a teacher for 5 years I bet the teacher has a different story than the student about going into the backpack. I could easily see the student playing with the cube and then, as the teacher walks over, the student throws it into their backpack. Then the student tells a sob story about a teacher rifling through all the contents of their backpack looking for a rubik's cube. As far as going into backpacks, we can do that and most teachers have at some point in their career. We can also hold things until the end of the semester or the end of the year. A teacher is not a student or a child, we are adults, and we are the authority in the school. Put the cube away during class is the moral of the story.

TK 421 if you post in this thread again for any reason, I am going to ban you so hard that you'll be sore for weeks. This is your fair warning.

Teachers should also respect students, because every once in a while, the teacher can also learn something from the student.

 

[Hiero]

I totally agree with that. I say yes sir and yes mam to my students, but they are still children and I'm the authority. They shouldn't have equal say when it comes to events that have occurred in school.

 

[Tyson]

Haha, wow... so many high school cubers. I didn't know about speed cubing until college. So old... so old...

I think Chris and I need to hold a competition for old people. Bob can come too.

 

[a small kitten]

You should teach that teacher how to cube. That will solve everything.

I am so down for this

 

[Akuma]

I've worked as a school teacher on numerous occasions and let me tell you something.
If I saw a student cubing while in class I would find it to be very disrespectful and I would confiscate it as well.
If your friend is so retarded that he brings cubes to school even though HE KNOWS the teacher doesn't like it then he is seriously stupid.

 

[number1failure]

If a teacher ever took my GuHong, and didn't give it back at the end of the day, I would simply report them.

Lol TK421 got paddled!

I rarely got my cube taken away in high school, mostly because I wouldn't let them do it (not trying to set the example here, just stating). I had a real problem with certain types of authority. If I actually respected the teacher, though it'd be a daily thing usually, they knew all they had to do was ask me to put it away and I'd be done (it's just I know most of you can agree here, it's pretty addicting especially when you first get into it, so you often don't think about how often you've been told to put it away). Even though the teachers saw it every day for many months, they knew I was more than willing to put it away when I was asked.

College was a different story. Two of my coolest teachers didn't mind if I brought it to class, as long as I didn't do it during class (during breaks would have been fine, I had a few 2 and 3 hour classes). One day we were talking about a subject I already knew fairly well, so the lack of new information bored me, so I start cubing. He took my cube away, at the end of class gave it back and said "Next time you won't see it again, understood?" (though with light smile) and that got the message quite clear.

I think most of this boils down to the student and teachers respecting each other, and unfortunately in the public education system (around here, at least) you often see teachers be equally hard-nosed to all students just because a few bad ones got in their way (it only takes one rotten apple to spoil the bunch, or however the saying goes).

TK 421 [...] I am going to ban you [...] for weeks..

I am down for this.


PS: In high school I never cubed during a class, but I cubed between classes a LOT. I don't think anyone ever wanted to take the cube away because of it, but I don't necessarily recommend this approach to others.

 

[Imperatrix]

Cubing during lectures will bound to get your cube taken away. Like fatboyxpc, I only cube before class and during breaks. I'm not a teacher, but I would find it annoying to find someone cubing during a lecture. Yes, cubing is addicting but it's disrespectful. You're going to college to get an education, not goof off during a lecture.

Maybe you have all that authority in your district but if it is clearly stated in his handbook that he can retrieve the items at the end of the day with a parent then I don't care what teacher is telling me no. I'd get my cubes back. That code of conduct applies to teachers as well as students. The regulations must be abided by by all parties involved otherwise what's going to stop one person to just go insane and rage? I believe wholeheartedly (judging from the OPs story) that this teacher is out of line.

As we speak I have an AV, an AV-F and an are F-II in my maths teachers office. They've been there a few days now. I dont mind too much because none of them are my main. anyway the reason I'm angry is becuase I am in sixthform and I have free periods I spend in the common room and the responsibility is on the students to work and the students dont have to if they dont want to. You are allowed to quietly do nothing. Its about preparing us for the independant work of uni. Anyway I friend asked to see my cubes so I got them out and did a H perm for fun and my maths teacher just walkes through without a word and just snaches them up and walkes away. People playing flash game left right and center, noisy room. Doesnt matter the b**** decided to pick on me and ignore the other people even though I'm doing nothing wrong. There are no rules against time wasting in free periods. Like I said I wasnt desperate to get them back but I have seen her once since and she was busy so it wouldnt have been easy if I had cared. Im sick of teachers getting on there high horse and thinking there better than the rules. Nothing compared to the story of my physics teacher but I cba to write it down right now. Bassicly the same story as the guy who made the thread except he had no intention of ever giving it back and kept gloating his progress of solving it everytime I asked for it back...

 

[AnsonL]

i would have smacked her in the face

 

[Drake]

You just talk to her, and if she don't want to, go see the principal. And before cubing in class, not really recommended, make sure that the teachers is not teaching, cause that hmm... Somme of my teachers let me cube in class, if i finished my work before the others, and that my cube don't do so much noise. Like expemple an skewb at classe, not a good idear if you have the ball in it...
