Anyone watching??
When i first saw the promo and thought "another stupid show...".
But I started watching it a few Thursdays ago because it comes on after Speeders (another funny show). Now I'm hooked.
Kids today and their excuses and trouble making... Some of the principals are really good. A few pander to the camera but are still fun to watch.
TruTV - Thursdays - 10pm

I also thought it would not be worth watching and didn't keep it on past about 5 minutes, then, a few days later left it on and I'm also hooked.
I taught school a few years and know how straight-faced some students can be re some outlandish excuse and I also can still relate to how I was at their age.
The mother who told the principal not to call her in again for such a paltry reason... I wonder if he will pay attention to that?

I can't believe some of the BS kids try to put past adults now days. When I was in HS, if someone had behaved like some of the kids I've seen on this show, they would have been suspended for sure....for a week. Not any 1 day in school suspension. Geez!

Alibar, I couldn't believe that mother said not to call her again. If I were principal I'd call her in every chance I got if her kid even sneezed out of place. She's gonna be in trouble when her child doesn't something more than (what was it? phone issues?)...
I went to trutv message boards the other day and everyone is freaking out about the spankings. I wouldn't my child to be spanked but I guess parents sign something and I'm sure they check with them. I think by 15 the child can decide if that's what they want.

Yep, that'll be funny if the principal goes after that parent. LOL So far as spanking, I agree a 15 year old can decide if that's preferred over having to attend Sat. school.
But, back when I was in elementary through high school, I'm fairly sure parents didn't have to be consulted regarding corporal punishment. That came along not long after. Soon after I graduated high school, one of the elementary teachers got into trouble for using a ruler too hard while spanking a student with it. The parents called the police. Probably first time in the town's history something like that happened. It was THE talk of the town. That particular teacher had always had a repulation for being difficult to get along with, so many were glad she was in trouble.
I can't recall if she lost her job.

Bump....
I've gotten hooked on this show. Those kids are amazing with the stories they come up with and tell them with a straight face.
