He got suspended... for great justice ?

When checking a web site about a certain internet phenomenon, I found a link saying "This is supposed to be real." I clicked and found the following picture, has someone already heard of this one ?

If you don' t know about the "all your base are belong to us" internet phenomenon, check this : http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/11940

I don't get it. The kid was not following the teacher's directions and was a disruption to the class. Am I missing something about the note?

But all the teachers are belong to us.

Well, I find it weird that it' s because of the fact that he repeated an internet phenomenom phrase, internet phenomenoms being quite obscure for most people.
And just the fact that someon would keep on saying this all day long seems weird to me. Maybe it' s just me...

I was thinking that if he kept repeating the phrase, he at least had some "control" issues. I would lean towards the guy needing some professional help.

Note that I've used AYBABTU as a "passphrase" between microcomputers on a network to verify "false" vs. "true" UDP connections. I was having issues with "false" connections, so I then added the question "AYB?" and if the response was NOT "ABTU!", I knew it was a noise connection (bad communication lines).

Clearly photoshopped. No-one could write the name that blurry.

It is OK. I have it.

It's been over 3 decades since I was in high school, but, I rememebr the teacher writing notes and sending them to school admin for approval. If that is stillthe case, then why is the teaches note dated 1/08/01 and the school admin dated 01/05/01, 3 days prior? Or am I missing something?

It doesn't indicate that he did it "all day long", perhaps he was just trying to PO a particular teacher.

I along with the dates, I find it curious that the time is 3:38. Aren't most classes out by that time? Not sure if that's supposed to be the time of the offense or time of the report..

We don't know he said it all day long. Just that he said it repeatedly after being asked to stop.

If I was a teacher that would annoy the hell out of me.

Oh, quite a few people read the Internets nowadays, especially the younger set.

Doesn't seem that weird to me. He was being generally disruptive, as Doug said, and he just happened to use that phrase which makes the note funnier than if it was just about him being a nuisance. Maybe "You can take my free period...but you'll never take my freedom!" just didn't have the right ring?

In my junior high and high school, we had class until 4:00. My senior year of high school, passing periods were increased and class didn't end until 4:15.

While I can't give any concrete evidence for or against it, I wouldn't have any trouble believing that it's true. It's the kind of thing that a hyperactive adolescent boy would do.

Somehow the fact that the teacher misquoted the phrase as "All your base belongs to us" makes it sound more genuine (i.e. not something made up for a joke). I can imagine a teacher not being familiar with the joke, and then the note getting circulated on the internet to poke fun at an adult who is "out of the loop".

It looks like they both say 1/8 to me. It also looks like the school admin is left handed.

Perhaps someone simply misremembered the date.

Jones is definitely a 5, not an 8.

Somehow, I just don't buy that over this one incident, the teacher had a conference with the student, phoned and wrote a letter to the parents, got a guidance counsellor involved, *and* gave the kid detention, and that all wasn't enough. The listing of these actions as a 'before referral' on the form suggests to me the form is for "these actions have failed to stop the behaviour, further action is necessary". A one-off simply should never get that far.

Of course, it might not be a one-off. If this kid is doing this every day, then a further action like OSS might be legit.

I can't believe that the writing is that of a teacher. It just looks like some kid has filled out a form.

The good lord chose not to bless some of us with precision handwriting.. I write so bad people say I should be a doctor

I think it is a mock up for three simple reasons. First, the writing is not the quality of an educator. Second, the description focuses on the saying and disruption, but not on the other activities the check marks would indicate. Third, whenever I have come across commonly used shortforms, abbreviations and acronyms, such as OSS, it would be written as such, and ticked off. Not written out in full.

That and the dates are too bungled to lend credibility.

The dates do seem to make it hard to believe. But I have definitely seen horrible handwriting from teachers (elementary teachers always seem to have excellent handwriting skills, but this is much different in high school). So, I don't think that proves much.

Strange, I never would have classified the phrase as an "internet phenomenon." I simply knew it from the game. Does this make me a huge geek? (If so, I'm totally guilty by association. All my high school buddies were video gaming guys. And they used this saying. A lot.)

What?! Good Lord. That handwriting is normal.

Some of my teachers should have gone to med school, so bad was/is their penmanship. Powerpoint and printed overheads are a blessing.
