STUFF TAKEN BY TEACHERS

I remember in grade school, and junior high, having items such as toys, magnets, magnifying glasses and such seized by teachers, with the promise that I'd "get it back at the end of the school year".

NEVER happened.
Did anyone EVER get their stuff back?

I had one teacher who for some perverted reason, didn't want us knowing what time it was, so he's take away our wristwatches...

A comic book, I never got it back. Also those fake vampire teeth once.

I don't really remember getting anything taken away . . . however, I did have a high school chemistry teacher who was also a basketball coach, with no background whatsoever in chemistry. On the first class day, he asked us to clean the science lab. Two of the guys found his teacher's edition of the chemistry book, and the workbook that went with it. They locked it in one of the drawers and took the key home with them. He got his key back at the end of the year.

Needless to say, we didn't learn a lot of chemistry that year.

The only time I got my stuff back was at the end of the 4th grade. I even got some stuff I didn't remember being taken away. Everyone said it was mine so who was I to argue?

In primary school, a teacher took the magazines and comics I read at breaktime.

More importantly, I was on the front page of a newspaper in 1972 when a reporter for that paper spotting me reading the paper. I brought the clipping to school: never saw it again.

An a***ole science teacher of mine ripped up one of my oldest MAD Magazines.
