FULL TITLE: Why is it that artists only draw the best drawings in school not on their sketchbooks? Rant time and feel free to make fun of me for being very stupid :3 So yesterday in science class, we were doing a practice test for a really big science test and I was drawing on the same paper as we were working on for the alleles and started drawing this FIRE piece of artwork on it. I mean look at it!! Highly shaded and everything! So I started ripping it out of the paper because I wanted to keep this very cool-looking aort. And I was barely making any noise. But then the teacher (We'll call her Mrs. F) said across the room "[Mago], what are you doing?! Stop that right now!" And so I stopped because I'm generally a good kid. But... I stopped when she was looking B) So yeah, spoiler alert by the picture, I got to finish ripping out the picture mid-class. And so, the lesson continued. But here's where it got interesting: I started thinking I wanted to take a PICTURE of the art and put it here, on Scratch. So I opened up the camera on my Chromebook and waited for Mrs. F to look at her computer or something so I could take the picture. But my super slow and bad school computer had to wait maybe like 2 seconds to keep my picture in the air for it to actually take the picture. So guess what? Stupid me kept my hand on the air. Right at the time Mrs. F saw me. So she stormed over to my desk and whispered, "I'll see you after class." At this point, I was breaking a cold sweat because, I had never gotten talked to like that from a teacher, being told to "see them after class." I was nervous as heck, especially since the whole class whipped their heads around to look at the conundrum. I worried about them talking about it later. So after class, Mrs. F called me up to the front of the room after I handed her my allele paper and said "What's this?" as she pointed to the hole I ripper my drawing out of. I quickly explained that there was I drawing I wanted to keep. Mrs. F didn't understand why I wanted to take a picture of it at this moment. I just said something along the lines of "I don't know" but I knew I wanted to take a picture of it because I'd forget it later. Mrs. F then looked at my paper and said "If I said this was being graded, do you think this would be your best work?" Honestly, I didn't know how to respond to a question like that. To be fully honest, I followed everything she was doing in class! But was guessing she wanted me to say no, and I didn't want to sound stuck up because I'm a general people pleaser. So I didn't say anything and she just assumed I said no. "No? That's what I thought," she said as she tucked the paper along with the others. "I don't want to see you ever off task again or I'll have to give you a lunch detention." I just nodded and walked away after she dismissed me. This comment immediately gave me flashbacks to 5th grade, where I thought my T.O.A.D. (Timeline of America Day) project with Laura Ingalls Wilder was done. So I decided to work on Scratch with this project ONLY OGS WILL REMEMBER!! Anyways we'll call this 5th grade teacher Mr. F, and he came over just I was desperately trying to swipe away from Scratch and didn't get to in time. As a punishment, he said "that he didn't want to see any more Kirby for the rest of the year" and I was DEVASTATED. Of course I didn't follow that rule, mwehehehe... But yeh. What I find funny, is that the bad kids are always given SO MANY CHANCES and when the good kids screw up, snap, immediate punishment. And some girls in the class were even taking some pictures and THEY got a warning!! I guess it's cuz "we're supposed to know better," but shouldn't everyone have the same amount of chances? Sigh. Anyways, the moral of the story is don't take pictures in class in front of a strict old science teacher. ... BUT HEYYYYY I GOT THE PICTURE >:3
