Yup.
ok, CSB about how I went to battle with my Honors Chemistry teacher and the administration. Me and my principal were on first name terms after this one.
Chem teacher failed everyone but my friend and the starting QB who sat on either side of me, both of whom were dumb as fuck and copied my shit. It didn’t mathematically add up and was clear it was malicious. Because they were my friends i could take their returned work nd unquestionably prove it. Of course the admins and teacher slandered me, called me a fuckup, brat, entitled, yada, yada. Then we did a background check on Chem ‘teacher’ and it turned out that he didn’t have a teaching certificate and had forged one because he had felony sex crimes with juveniles conviction (this was adjudicated before sex offender registry started in TX). Whoops.
So, the admins allowed me to switch classed for “my own good” then a week later gave everyone still in the class a passing grade because of the scandal. So everyone passed, except me. I was in fact probably the only fucking student who legitimately passed that class. Most peoples family would stick up for them, but my dad is a bit of a coward when it comes to his kids. So, i was ordered to drop it.
Well, shit didn’t end there of course. Endless bullshit started to roll down hill like, I was constantly given false tardys and absences, I was the only Sr out of 750+ to be punished for Sr. Skip day, shit like that to the very last day of school. They even tried to fuck up my admission to UT by not mailing my transcripts. My ace in the hole was my buddy from 4th grade was the son of the attendance lady, so i got all the low down info. i heard what they were planning to do and was able to go into the office and get multiple copies printed out (so i could sue if they lied on them). I then drove to Austin that day which was also the deadline for that record. First time i ever went in the main building and remember thinking “oh, shit there’s a Natural science library in here too?”
I mean, i had a couple AP and TAG teachers who stood up for me and even threatened the principal to call out some of his past, worse bullshit to other students after the Sr skip day thing. I don’t know why, but that one really pissed off some of the facility. I never complained, just took whatever on the chin so the admins would get mad and according to my buddy it worked. They hated me.
I haven’t thought about this in years and it brings a smile to my face.
