[@HaltingBlooper] I just haven't had anything to say and I'm sort of supposed to be gone... I'm cheating on my goneness right now though.  And yeah, it's pretty lame that they do that. In my experience teachers can basically break the law and get away with it in some cases.  Like I once had a 'teacher' who would make fun of me in front of the whole class and prevent my from going to recess when I had a hard time understanding assignments.  Once we had a horrible music teacher who wouldn't let us leave after the last bell rang and the buses were getting ready to take us home even though that's against the freaking law.
