Detention a Drag?

Five tips on getting out of trouble at school.

I used to be a troublemaker myself, and I've learned a few things over the years that will really help you out in a tough jam. Everyone remembers the days when you had to sit in detention.

  1. Play Dumb

     A lot of times teachers will have no other proof besides a hunch or a tip off from another student. Its best to keep denying, and eventually they will have to lay off because there is no evidence.
  2. Survey the Scene

    The worst case scenariois when a teacher absolutely positively knows you did something wrong. Either they've seen it with their own eyes, or other students have complained multiple times. At this point, you need to evaluate your situation; if the crime is major, and you could get expelled, my suggestion is… why'd you get yourself into this in the first place? Otherwise, the punishment for lying to the teacher is probably worse in the first place.
  3. Lay Blame

    Although I don't recommend this; at times a good solution is to lay some of the blame off to another kid. When it's a good friend, you can ask, “Hey man, can you take some of this for me?” A good friend wouldn't think twice about helping you out in a jam.  Do not attempt this if you don't know the other person. Getting into an argument can lead to more severe consequences than the first crime.
  4. Argue your Case

    Many times a teacher can be unfair in more ways than one. You don't need to be a genius to realize when you're be cheated, especially when you've done nothing wrong. Also, it's great training to become a lawyer.
  5. Just Do It

    Now you ask, “What's my number one solution to getting out of a teacher's glare?” Just stay out of trouble, people. If you don't do anything wrong, there's nothing they can do to you.
