When I was in school at age 8 my teacher got angry with me and gave me six of the best because I wrote I hate maths on my maths book and demanded to see my mother to complain about me after school. When mum came up to see what Mr. Russell wanted she tore into the teacher saying “well she does hate maths and until you are the one buying the school books for her you have no right to say what she writes on her books”. I was loving it. It was great seeing a teacher being told off when she was always telling us usually for the daftest things like breaking the silence of the classroom for sneezing and the like.
I once had the principle of my kid’s high school call me to tell me my kid was suspended.He was laughing. My son had been on the roof of the gym, dancing around, in a gorilla suit.“Pretty cool, but I have to do something…”I got home that evening and my son was sitting there looking sheepish, figuring he was in trouble.I looked at him and said, “All I want to hear from you is where the hell you got a gorilla suit.”Belonged to a friend’s dad…
In 7th grade I got in trouble for reading a magazine. It was during homeroom, so it shouldn’t have been a big deal. I had the teacher for geography as well. To say we didn’t care for each other would be putting it delicately. Anyway he confiscated it. It wasn’t mine, and that was why it upset me. I said “B*st*rd” when he got back to the front of the room. He obviously didn’t actually hear what I said because when I was called to the vice-principal’s office the VP said, "I heard you called Mr. $%^%$ an S.O.B. At that time I had never heard the term S.O.B. My mom cursed more than anyone on the planet. Trust me, she wasn’t using acronyms. Anyway he thought I was getting uppity and took me to my house. (We didn’t have a phone then, and my house was on the road across from the school-stupidly I still had to ride the bus! because the road you crossed to get to our road was a state highway.) Mom worked graveyard shifts back then. I had to wake her up. I do not lie. It makes me physically ill, so I told her what I had ACTUALLY said. She proceeded to curse my VP out so bad that I wound up suspended for 3 days! No loss. That was the 4th school I had attended that year since we were moving constantly. I loathed that school (aside from the science teacher Mr. Rice and the English teach Mrs. Leach). 40 years later and the fact I remember them and their lessons shows they were great at their jobs. Homeroom dude not so much. Geography was my favorite subject. He almost ruined it for me.
When my kids were little, my wife tried a swear jar. If she heard a bad word, she’d say “You have to put in a penny!” And I’d be like, “I’ll give you a nickel to say it again!”
Once, my son said a really bad word. I told him “I don’t want to hear you use that word until you know what it means!” He ran in the other room and asked my wife!
I used to get the strangest calls from teachers. Also notes from them. One time the principal called me to tell me she thought my child was a practicing witch and was sacrificing animals. She had zero proof of any animal abuse, and I advised her of how many well-loved pets my child had. I also told her that Wiccan is a recognized religion, and if she wanted to complain about my child (who liked to read supernatural books but never tried to be a witch) supposedly appearing to belong to a religious group, I was going to make sure the school system ended up paying for my child’s college education from the money we got from the lawsuit I would be filing. I wasn’t tolerating any prejudice. This was probably middle school.

If you can make the principal laugh while you get into trouble, it will probably at least lessen punishment you get.
