Guide to staying out of iss

Well this year by no means has been a great year for me. I have been in trouble countless occasions, and served many a day in ISS. So me being the great person that I am, I am going to teach you, my fellow English students, how to stay out of ISS.

            First off, this is a big one. When you walk into class and there happens to be no teachers present just go sit down at a desk, or chair, whichever the class requires. Don’t talk to your friends to loud or say anything stupid, just wait for the instructor. Hypothetically speaking, let’s say that this substitute teacher happens to be looking pretty good that day. DON’T COMMENT ON HER APPEARANCE. Especially if she is almost 50, happily married, and has about 15 kids…  That will land you almost a week in ISS, almost kicked out of school, and sexual harassment charges might be brought up. Thank goodness in this hypothetical story that didn’t happen. Long story short don’t flirt with a substitute, or any teacher for that matter.

            Secondly, once again let’s say that hypothetically you don’t want to be at school and you want to go hang out with some friends instead. Well, when you ditch school, the people in the front office call your mom to ask her where you are at. If she doesn’t know that you aren’t at school you get in some trouble for that, both at school and at home. So if you’re going to ditch school or class make sure your mom knows so that you both can come up with a good lie together or something. What’s funny about this story is that I was the only one out of my group of friends that ditched that day to get in trouble. Their mom’s all covered for them. This same incident has landed me in ISS twice this year. Haha some people never learn.

            Lastly, it is not okay to text in class. It doesn’t matter who you are texting or why you are texting that person, it’s just not okay. You can be an aide doing absolutely nothing and decide to text your mom trying to get something for lunch… NO! That is not acceptable here at HHS. You have to walk all the way to the office, wait in line, dial on their phone and hope someone answers. When a simple text could have done the same thing in five seconds. That has landed me this two day stint in ISS right now.

            If you do find yourself in ISS though, make the most of it. They let you go clean the cafeteria in the morning, and if you are nice and do a good job you get a little breakfast from the lunch ladies. What could be more rewarding for doing dishes, cleaning, taking out the trash, and various other jobs for two and a half hours. One chocolate chip muffin for working my pretty little hands to the bone, that was my reward. Oh well I got my points I needed to attend prom. So I guess it all works out.

Just stay out of ISS.
