I am convinced that anyone saying they didn't hate any of their high school teachers is lying. Still, trying to physically harm them is next level. Yesterday I was shot in the eye with a rubber band. There was some pain but no eye emergency.
Nobody would admit to it, so a VP hauled seven students to the office where apparently one confessed - after being given detention, that student will be in class again this morning. As will I 😞
@publickovacs That sucks. Glad it wasn't serious.
Could he have been aiming at somebody else? Or were you the only target in the area?
At least you know who it is. Too bad you have to keep your guard up in your own class room.

It was a freshman girl w RBF ...
@publickovacs @GeezerWench Glad you're OK. Detention at my school means multiple days out of class so I don't understand how the student is going to be back the very next day. That's not a sufficient consequence. I hope the student was at least told that could be considered assault which could have criminal consequences.
I'm sorry that you feel the need to be guarded in your own classroom but that seems appropriate. You should DEFINITELY act like you're in control.

Detention means having to stay after school is all
