    It's the only way he can communicate in Irish. That, and sign language :(

    Oops. You are SO going to need to do a "realisation of the error of your ways". I suggest saying (with total sincerity) that you're not feeling very big or clever about saying that, and it came out of your mouth before you put your brain in gear. You totally understand that any number of girls or female members of staff who were in ear shot are well within their rights to be horrified by your comment and your Ma had a proper go at you over it. That should cover all the bases OP.

    Or you could just shuffle on the spot a small bit, staring fixedly at some point slightly below her eye-level with a mutinous look on your face. Your call ;)

    OP, say 'sorry' and leave it at that. Don't grovel and don't start explaining yourself beyond "I said it to the lad beside me". This molehill could become a mountain if you talk too much.

    Teachers can easily try bully people too, so stand your ground.

    I'm not that troublesome but I've been in a bit of trouble. In first year I was suspended for a day for "taunting" a student when he said he'd punch me and I said that he "didn't have the balls", he punched me, I got a day, he got a few days.

    At the end of first year I was being tormented by a teacher throughout the year and when his back was turned after he gave me **** in the middle of a summer exam I gave him the middle finger, a student sold me out. Got removed from the exam hall for the remainder of the week.
    I don't misbehave often and I'm a good student, my defiance has gotten me in trouble most.

    Op I think you should take this one on. Tomorrow morning act like nothing happened. Carry on to class as normal. He'll no doubt **** a brick and call you up, ask you why you didn't come to him.
    You act dumb. Pretend nothing happened yesterday (you apologised anyway so **** him). Stick to you guns. Don't change your story. Nothing happened.

    After a while you can ask him if he's confusing you with someone else maybe. And slowly get more helpful (but always stick to your lie).

    He requested I go straight to him instead of role call in the morning. I'm not scared btw.

    Is what you said not a reasonable explanation for blood been on the floor??

    It's not unrealistic, so stand by what you said!!

    Edit-probably not great advice..

    over 50 posts and not a single mention of piss blasting?

    Apologize to the deputy, tell her it wasn't directed at her.

    Tell the principal the matter is settled if he hauls you in for an "excuse"

    Good you're not scared, but in all seriousness, you will have to take him having a go at you over this. If my eldest wasn't in the wrong over something, I'd always be advocating him standing up for himself and not taking punishment in the wrong, and I'd be behind him all the way. If what he did was disrespectful though, I have to get behind the teachers on it.

    Gotta say, even though it was unintentional, what you said was disrespectful (and in front of other teachers, so you'll have to be seen to be in proper trouble for the example of it) so you're going to get some speech. And some worse bother if you don't immediately put your hands up and say you know it was a terrible thing to say (even though it's a normal class of teenage lad comment - witty, but inappropriate!). My advice is get your apology ready :o

    Oh don't worry I realised I was wrong before I went into his office. If they put me in detention I don't mind because I like detention and if they put me on a behaviour plan I'll be off it as quick because I'm not troublesome.

    I'm a (female) teacher, and one day I got a little cross with a student who was talking for the 40th time in class. She said "What's your problem? Is it your time of months?"

    I just said "Hand me your journal", and wrote "Made a disrespectful comment to a teacher", and put her on detention. End of story.

    Your principal is being a bit of an ass. What you did barely registers as rude in my opinion (in light of your age.... if you were 35 I might have a different opinion). But the best thing to do is grovel. In fact I would suggest you go a bit further and type up a letter of apology to both tonight, and hand it to them tomorrow. Nothing too grovelly - just "I am sorry for my rude and disrespectful joke yesterday. It was in bad taste and won't happen again."

    Haha you're fair sound! As it's 23:41 and I've French Oral for Christmas tomorrow I won't type the letter but thanks for the suggestion. I've an apology planned out so it's all gravy.

    Well I wish you the best of luck in the morning :-) My son not so long ago swore while walking away from a teacher who's behaviour towards his little brother was not nice and my eldest pointed it out to her. The year head and his form teacher brought him to her so she could have her rant, even though they respected his motives for standing up to her. You may have to listen to the deputy head as well, both of them telling you about respect. Which you clearly know about anyway, since you've not been in much trouble, but they have to make examples (of authority, mostly :( ).

    Night.

    You're not to old to be told to go to bed btw - get some sleep OP! :D

    I would do this too op. It shows that you thought about what you did and had the respect and decency to write out an apology.

    I really appreciate the suggestion and I don't want to come off as rude but I'm knackered. Yes I am sorry for what I have done but I feel that a worded apology will be adequate also.

    I'd be fairly confident OP that your future education and career will be littered with the occasional inappropriate comment/joke. It happens to most of us at some time or another. All you can do is apologise if offence was caused unintentionally, with as much sincerity as you can muster. Beyond that, what more can be done? not much.

    Next time don't leave it to post #59 to clarify that it was a female deputy mopping up blood who heard the comment, which is a crucial detail and should have been made clear from the start.

    An update on the situation on our desks tomorrow, please.

    Now, off to bed, you scallywag.

    Tell him you have agonized over "a better excuse" and indeed have sought help from one of the more creative online forums.
    After several dozen suggestions and a long night without sleep due to the stress and anxiety this has caused you, there is no better excuse than you have already provided.
    Make sure to stay up all night playing Xbox, so it's clear you have had a sleepless night.
