I'm Back!!!!

[FloppsyLadySally54]

Hi, my friends and I got extended detention, and I was banned from the computer until today!! So now that everything is back to normal in my life, I am going to try and catch up to what I missed, and I see that some things have changed!! Well, I'm back! Just in case any of you were wondering where I went.

Honestly, Britt, it sounds to me like you need to find something constructive to do with your time. Was it really worth your while to play pranks on your teacher?? In case you were wondering, that doesn't sound like a "cool" thing to do!

[FloppsyLadySally54]

Well we did not mean any harm in it, and it's not like we did anything like swear to them or something. The teachers are our friends, and they automatically forgave us when we gave them those awwwful nice apology letters. We didn't realize they had caller ID until someone told us....but not someone we wanted to hear it from. Anyway, it was still wrong, and I am not surprised if people get mad at me on here, cause it was mean, even though it was a llllliiiittttttllllllleeee funny.........

I honestly don't see anything funny about it at all. I've had prank calls before and not only are they extremely annoying but sometimes they are frightening (depending on what is said). And seeing as how I would like to be a teacher one day, I would certainly expect better out of my students than prank calls.

I do not like pranks, I do not do pranks, I find them to be cruel 99% of the time. I do not even like april fools, I don't go to school that day.

What u did was very mean. Put ur self in their shoes & tell me if u would like to receive (phone) pranks.

Ur right.

Speaking as a teacher...I don't EVER want any of my students calling my house unless they have my permission. It's for that reason that I do not have my address or my phone number in the FWCS telephone directory or do I have my number published in the phone book. I also do not live anywhere near my district where I teach. I can count on 1 hand the number of students that have been given my number. God help them if they call and get Mike! lol It truly wouldn't be pretty...I'd probably get fired! hehehe

[FloppsyLadySally54]

Uhh, sorry, ok???

[sammi]

Well boy you sure got told. I know you won't do it again right? Did you not think that a teacher wouldn't have caller ID??????? I hope you didn't try and scare anybody cause that isn't funny. Well you could have done worse - behave this week ok?

[shais_mom]

ditto,
not cool at all kiddo. If you want the teacher to respect you, you have to respect them. Coming from a family of teachers, literally. I am not a teacher but I work in the hospital and I get grief from people to but at least they aren't callin me.
And your lucky all you got was detention and banned from the computer. I would have gotten a whole lot worse!!!
How would you like it if someone pranked you? I have a feeling you would throw a fit. And in this day and age with the technology. You just can't do it.

We got so many prank calls (including a few at night...one at 3 a.m.) that we had to change our phone number, and now we are unlisted. We'd had that same phone number for like 12 years, so it's really messing me up with the new one, lol.

People would call and hang up within minutes of eachother.....we got at least 2-4 a day, I swear, we'd always have blank messages on the answering machine. We need caller ID!!

Anyhoo...I have to admit that I've made prank calls before. Usually just to like my parents or whatever, though, lol. Of course there was an incident with my friends sister.........LOL.....yeah that's long story. I'd never call a teacher or something, though. And everyone has caller ID nowdays!

Well , , I know that being young is fun , but if I may post my oppinion too , it is not funny to get those calls !!
I used to teach too years ago , and I forbit my kids to let their parents call me at home ! I was always available during the day , but not after class ! Do understand this Britt , and find other jokes , okay !!

[FloppsyLadySally54]

We did not hang up on them. We played this little kung fu hamster that sang a song. Some of them even thought it was funny, and the others didn't care at all. As I said before, they all knew it is mostly kids that make prank calls and that they usually do it for humor, not to get revenge on them or anything. We did not think about caller ID until it was too late, but we are not stupid and my number is unlisted and private as well and now I think my friend is going to get it to so they dont copy down the numbers and call them back. Anyway, we did learn our lesson. As I said before we wrote such nice apology letters to all the teachers we did it to.....except one. Most of the teachers went on a field trip for four days with the eighth graders so they are not here and this one teacher we did not write it to we are very good friends with and we decided to talk to him ourselves. Anyhow, I'm not at all surprised by the feedback on this thread, it was a stupid and rude thing to do (quote from letters we wrote).

LOL on the subject of prank calls I once called someone and asked them if they would liek to buy my summer adition of the sears catalog. She was like o whats in it and stuff. Asked how much it was and She gave me her adress to send it to her (I told ehr it was free). I told her it was garenteed shiped within the next hour. So me and my frined walked ot her house nocked on her door. She answered it and we said pleasure doing buisness with you mam. LOL. It was fun. Adn the lady just laughed. She said she thought we were really Sears people. We told her she could keep the catlog. LOL O gee.

Well anyway. I would have to agree Britt. This wasn't the smartest move. My teacher, Mrs. Feelz, gave us her number so we couldn't say we didn't have our homework done because we didn't understand it. But the thought would never even cross my mind to prank call her! Gee she would like chop my head off. LOL. Those Christian Schools ya know, always choping heads off . I'm glad you apoligized for the things you did, and I'm glad the teachers forgave you, I am also glad you got punshied. You may not think that is a good idea but I have see nwhat happnes when someone doesn't get punshed for something, they just keep doing it.

PS: STAY PUT!!!!

Teachers, even when they are very nice and fun to talk to, aren't friends. They are authority figures and educators, and they deserve respect. Besides, I would never even want to prank someone I considered a friend - ESPECIALLY someone I considered a friend. It's good you learned your lesson and won't do it again.

Thats not 100% true... Who says a teacher can't be a friend. I was friends with one of my teachers, 2 of my friends & I went to her house alot & walker her champ dogs & helped her in her yard, we did that 3 years after we met her & I miss it. I stoped because I moved. My other friends still hang out with her all the time. & its been 8 years since we met her, I see here sometimes when I go to see my dad back home & we talk & talk & talk & catch up on life.
