I was a bad student. Didn’t do the work, didn’t care, slept in class etc… Then in 7th grade we were assigned Of Mice And Men in English class and I actually really liked the book. So I got inspired and wrote a really good paper about it. My English teacher accused me of plagiarism. “There’s no way you could have written this” This infuriated me. So I stood up, ripped the paper up in her face and called her a bitch in front of the whole class. Lmao 🤣 She sent me to the principals office where they were going to suspend me, but when I got to the principals office I decided to escalate even further and began screaming when I got there. I remember the shocked looks on the adults that a student would behave this way in their front office. They murmured behind closed doors for a while and then sent me to third period with no punishment. I think they must have concluded that if a student was this pissed off about being accused of cheating then it must be because they actually didn’t cheat. I’m not sure what the moral of this story is, but I’ll tell you this I never fucking put any effort into a book report ever again lol 😂

This is the story of how a Bitcoiner was born. In kindergarten my teacher said she was going to send me to the principles office and I said “no you’re not.” I’ve always been like this with “authority.” We’re built different lmfao
I used run away from school in grade 1 to 4 for being told to do something i didnt want to. I'd have the school, police, and my poor mother looking for me. Haha things haven't changed. I do what I want and fuck you.
A teacher once told me I was going nowhere in life and would never go anywhere in life because I didn’t show up or put effort into her first-period film class my last semester of senior year. My response: “I think you should go sit back down on your tennis ball”🎾 And that’s all I remember of her.

The moral is always double down when in the right, regardless of expected outcome.
This is a true story from my life. When I got accepted into the carpet design at university, it didn’t take long for me to realize that I wasn’t really drawn to it. Honestly, I found it boring at first. But since it was a public university in Iran - where tuition and dorms were free - I felt I should respect the effort I had put into getting accepted and finish the degree. Back then, I wasn’t designing with real passion or excitement. One day, my professor looked at me and said, “If you’re going to sit in this class, you need to spend your time designing. Otherwise, if you don’t like it, I’ll just give you the minimum passing grade.” Still, I preferred being in the design studio with my classmates instead of wasting time sitting around in the dorm. After graduating, I visited one of Iran’s historic carpet markets to better understand Persian rugs. That was the moment everything changed for me. For the first time, I truly realized what a treasure Persian carpets are. No one had ever managed to make me feel that connection before. After that, I started researching deeply and creating countless new designs. I attended the Tehran International Carpet Exhibition, one of the biggest carpet events in Iran. Later, I met with my old professor again. He turned to his colleagues and said, “Pegah used to be my student, and now she’s become one of the best carpet designers.” I smiled and reminded him, “Do you remember when you wanted to kick me out of class?” 😊 Not long after, we were invited to attend one of the world’s biggest carpet events in Germany, but unfortunately I couldn’t go because of financial limitations. Little by little, design became part of my identity. I started collaborating with companies and signing contracts as a designer. During those years, I created many different works and experienced many ups and downs. Then, two years ago, I discovered Nostr. Through it, I was finally able to bring my personal ideas to life - from concept to execution. That journey became @Pegah Rug , and thanks to the Nostr community, my rugs started receiving orders and finding homes. And there’s one more thing I should mention: out of 35 students in my carpet design , I was the only one who continued working in handwoven carpet design professionally. I can also proudly say that nostr:nprofile1qqs8yhutuqjxldhhxrdtkarnw2e9s9x2uenmckry4vwe0ky64hfx0mcprpmhxue69uhkzapwdehhxarjwahhy6mn9e3k7mf0qythwumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0rmz5jqbecame one of the first carpet studios to accept Bitcoin as a payment method. Sometimes, a small moment in life can quietly open the door to a brighter path. View quoted note →

the skool system really is a scam 😅
So you were a douch that brought the class down for years, did one bit of worked and the cried like a bitch - here’s a participation trophy for you!!😂
I also don't know the moral, but when I was a kid, everything that turned up broken, out of place, and if there was a child crying, it was my fault. I don't know why.

No one wants to fight the naked crazy man. Good tactic
For me, the moral of the story is never do anything for others. Just do it for yourself! In a free market, the actions of a selfish entrepreneur benefits society. A truely selfish human who thinks of his long term future and works towards it with integrity and hinesty, is a net positive to society. A "selfless" person who does what he is told, the teachers pet, is ultimetly, a net negative. This might be the argument of Adam smith from wealth of nations..
teachers accuse kids of plagiarism because they can't imagine a student actually caring about the work. thesystem rewards compliance, not competence. the geniuses are usually the ones who refused to play. School doesn't test what you learn. It tests how well you regurgitate. you weren't bad at school. you were bad at pretending.
I would do book reports on a "Chose Your Own Adventure" style book, figure out the fastest way to die and then give the report on about 5 pages.

Actually, you were both wrong. That's unfortunate that you were wrongly accused of plagiarism. I'm sure this would be very hard for a 7th grader to run with, but that wrong accusation was a real compliment to you. And yet, you were also wrong for what you did in class, in the office, and for bragging about it now. That is a terrifuc book though.

I see you never got out of 7th grade. Hang in there, I'm holding out hope for you yet.
I was gloading over my acheivment. I wrote a whole beautiful page of cursive T. I was so proud, went to the teachers desk looking as the teacher's #1 put her far inferior cursive T on the desk. Mr. Myschuck purred, "Very good Leslie.". Scrawling in a big green pen. A+. I excitedly thought wow if that is I A+ mine is..... Mr. Myschuck grabbed my awesome achievement and scrawled across the top in giant red marker. F. Now go back to your desk and write me a new one. I also don't know what the point of that was... but I guess it was a life lesson!

She could have just fessed up and admitted it. Then everyone could move on with the important book report lesson of the day. Teachers hate smart lazy students.
I love it! When I was in seventh grade, they tried to force me to do square dancing. I absolutely refuse. It threatened to suspend me from school and I said go ahead and of course they back down.
In 9th grade I was too tired and too stoned to do chemistry class so I slept through it most of the time. At exam time, the only thing I could do was sit behind the smartest Chinese kid and copy answers. It was multiple choice so it was possible to cheat. But I couldn’t see his paper part of the time, so my answers were 50% copied from the smart kid’s paper and 50% from another nearby person. When the test results were available, my score was THE TOP SCORE in the class. The chem teacher gave me a C anyway because he knew there was no way I could have gotten the top score. I could have taken the test again with him proctoring me and nobody else around but I didn’t.
Love that story. 😂 I had to retake a math exam because I aced it and the white kid sitting next to me aced it. We had the same answers and were the only ones that got everything right, even the bonus question. I aced it the second time, too. They did a round of IQ tests later in the year, and I got put into the G&T program. The other kid was never accused of cheating. The teacher never apologized. Welcome to the Dirty South. LOL
In my senior year high school physics class I thought I was going to fail the final exam because I couldn’t remember all the formulas. We were allowed to bring a calculator to the classroom for the test. I had the kind that had a soft black plastic cover that folded over the front. I realized that I could write the formulas in the inside of the cover using a black pen, so they wouldn’t be visible except at the right angle when the overhead fluorescent lights in the classroom would cause them to reflect in a slightly reddish tint. So I used a principle of physics in order to pass my physics exam. image
Did you just listen to the new Joe Rogan/Tom Segura episode? He talked about something similar and it also reminded me of my own similar experience in college where the Prof said "Students don't write this way, you must have copied it".. fuck her as well.

I went to music school for a bit and was not great at it. Then at some point I realized that the scales followed a pattern. I then suddenly knew what I was doing on a test. But the jump was so obvious, and apparently unexpected, the teacher accused me of cheating. I argued. Which was also totally out of character. We never resolved it. I refused to go back to class ever again.
That’s a feature in today’s day and age. It’s how you know I’m not using A.I. lol
