angry teachers

Who said I was hating? I just said that there was very little chance that this story is true. One, teachers don’t just send kids to the principals office for telling them who their hero is. That’s ridiculous. Two, school systems are very aware of the professional yoyo scene, because school demonstrations are big business. I assure you that nearly every principle in the middle and elementary system has been approached by Yomega or Ned or someone similar to do demonstrations. What principal or teacher in their right mind would flip out about this and then turn around and disrupt the entire flow of their school just to allow one kid to show his yoyo skills? A small in class demonstration, maybe. Why would someone tell a false story? Why wouldn’t they? People do it all the time, whether to make themselves look good, to impress people, or for no reason at all. And I base my statement on reality. Is there a chance this is true? Sure, a small chance. Is it more likely that it’s not? Yes, it is. If it turns out this is true, I’ll be the first to apologize and congratulate him. But if someone is going to post a very fantastic, unlikely sounding story on a public forum, it’s well within my rights to state my opinion on it. That’s not hating, that’s the way of the world.

allright, my bad man

The story seems far fetched, because if for no other reason it sounds too good to be true. However I could completely buy into a teacher sending someone to the principles office for nothing more than speaking out. Many authority figures have issues with any sort of challenge to that authority.

Dude… that’s insanely awesome!

I believe this is a True Story. Why Couldn’t it be?
There are a lot of Strict Teachers out there, that would send you to the pricipals for just saying what you think.
And, I can believe that the Teachers let him do a Demonstration during Class time. In 2nd Grade, the Teacher let me show some Magic Tricks in the middle of class. In 3rd Grade the teacher let me talk about a Crystal Poster I made and pass my Crystal Collection around the room. So, Why couldn’t the teachers allow him to show off his Yoyo Skills? In Elementary School, that could very likely happen. But, In Middle School, there is a little chance that would happen.
Awesome Story, Man!

because i like to belive people, which somethimes is bad(darn you chris angle can’t belive i fell for that crap) i will say that was awesome! I wish that woul happen at my school. But enough kids make fun of my yoyoing as it is. One has a mullet made from 3 big braids that go down his neck. But ignoring bullies will make them go away.

What school do you go to? FREEZE! this was a training exercise.(matrix refrence 8) ) But seriously don’t tell ANYONE where you live or anything. Unless your and adult.

when people tell stories, they tend to “romance” em a little, almost anyone does that, but again, I don’t see the bottom line not being true, there wouldn’t be any point telling a false story, he’s not getting anything telling us about it.

and if it’s true, who else would you want him to share it, wouldn’t anyone share a story like that ?

people who don’t want to believe it, that’s fine by me, but again, things much more “extreme” can and do happen, I could tell you dozens of stories like that all being true.
