Butt Cheeks = 5 Demerits
FOUND by Xtingu
in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania
I found this in the parking lot of a strip mall. Apparently this male student has made a habit of saying "butt cheeks." His repeat offense earned him 5 demerits. Do not taunt this teacher with anatomical references!

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
This is the Student Copy--what do you bet the rents never saw it!
Looks like Teacher's last name begins with C; is "butt cheeks" an insulting play on it? That would get a whole buttload of demerits, no problem.
All I heard was Dora and Boots, shouting, "Say Buttcheeks! Say Buttcheeks!.... LOUDER!"
How about that demerit system! I suppose the demerits add up and a specific punishment is dished up each week or each month.
The system was probably put together by a "committee" of teachers and administrators who couldn't actually decide what offenses merited which demerits. Finally they just gave up and randomly scrambled the offenses, as evidenced by #16 which reads as "Disorder in chewing gum." And #7: "Late for No ID Card" and that one gets Thursday Detention in addition to the two demerits!
I would really like to see the rest of this detention slip. How many demerits, maximum, could one get? What were the other offenses?
For example, how many demerits for:
texting in class
cell phone ringing in class
wearing ear buds in class
beer found in locker
taking pictures in locker room
carrying a knife
At our school they have the opposite system, called PBS (Positive Behavior Support). We give out "spirit tickets" when kids are not tardy, bring their books to class, hold the door open, etc. I guess we could all them "merits."
It wasn't until just now that I realized a "demerit" is actually the opposite of a "merit!" I know, it's obvious.. I'm just a little slow.
Leaving cafeteria dirty! Be sure you bathe after lunch time. (Mental image of that dirty kid in the Peanuts comics, with rising spirals of dirt encircling him. Was his name Pig Pen?)
Such behavior from Section A-1 -- any more demerits and you will soon be demoted to section B-2!
We also do Positive Behavior Supports at the school where I teach.
5 demerits for "butt cheeks"? Good job he didn't say the most imprtn part of his body
@Me, let's not tell where we teach.. maybe it's the same school. However I think PBS is a syndicated system in use in many schools.
It's nice to know that other teachers also like to idle their off-time away on found!
Why aren't the offenses numerical? 20 comes right after 18, 19's in a different category, 74 tucked in there completly randomly-- were 19 and 74 previously worth more or fewer demerits?
In my kids' school district, carrying a knife (or other weapon) means immediate expulsion. No demerits, no questions asked. Same with drugs or alcohol.
LOL, Linlaw.
I keep trying to scroll to see the right side of the paper. Frustrating! I wonder what grade this kid's in.
I can't remember if I sent in my Found disciplinary slip.. high school kid got in trouble for saying "oh my fucking God!" when the teacher talked to her about her inappropriate shirt. (not sure if the shirt was too revealing, had some offensive slogan or picture or what.)
I laughed recently, looking back at my highschool yearbook. Kids can be seen wearing tobacco company hats, beer logo sweatshirts, and tee shirts with slogans like, "ass, gas or grass.. nobody rides for free!" .. not so today. Zero tolerance.
I hate math problems.
how many demerits for saying dogballs?

one of my faves.
sounds like everyone was excitable at school during the week before 'winter break'
That handwriting is hard to read. I don't know what the 3 words after Class are. Looks like That Hexxars Urethra. In school I was like the kind of coming to class late. In high school I'd tell one teacher it was always bloody noses because she said she got them as well and felt bad for me. Haha. I was actually just sleeping in.
Man that Spam protection fucked me up. I finally figured it out, though. It said: "Spam protection: Do you see a doctor or a dentist for a toothache?" First time I answered Yes. Then the next time I copied and pasted what it said because of the : thing after spam. I now see that it's just that you gotta type in dentist. FUCK!!
I'm sending in a find tomorrow. What are the chance it it making it on the site or in print? It is not very interesting but it's a nicely shot photograph.
How many finds does Found usually receive a day?
A couple weeks ago the guy who does PostSecret said that he now gets like 200 postcards a day so it it like a lot more than that? Which site is more popular or is Found stuff harder to find so Found might receive less? And what's the percentage on a regular day like how many finds are just kinda normal and boring and will never see the light of day?
This note is about me.
Well, butt cheeks is kind of fun to say. I called a kid a shitass once and I just got write-offs. Maybe my teacher was more lenient than this teacher.
@ Wearing Boots -> I was admiring the lyrical sound in your post "... couldn't decide what offenses merited which demerits."
And what - exactly - does [2demerit] "Out of bounds" mean? Are the 'bounds' clearly identified? I've been there - out of bounds, I mean.
I'd love to see the rest of the Disciplinary Infraction Sheet... Not only "What were the other offenses?", but also what are the other categories??? ('Late for...' and 'Disorder in...' )
RE: A 'committee' ranking the offenses... I was a reporter for a short time -- and I was assigned to cover a school board meeting. They spent a FULL 30 minutes trying to decide whether the 'purpose' statement of a series of committees should be on the top of the page (so the participants saw it first) or at the bottom of the page (so it was the last item and would remain in their minds) -- OR if it should go both places.
I quit being a reporter after that. Then I read a Mark Twain [aka: genius] quote: "In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then He made school boards."
@ BabyB -- Parents don't even get a copy of this!! (unless, one presumes, the demerits add up enuff that the parents are called in!)
Oh irony of ironies--the darn thing is written in Comic Sans....and nobody caught it!
@ dressed as best- if I remember correctly, they receive something like an average of 12,000 Finds per year.
I've had one Find of the Day published on this site, and from the time I sent it in to the day it was featured, about a year and a half had lapsed. (a good photo Find.) Some have been featured sooner than that, some have taken longer. I'm hoping to see some of the others I've sent in featured in Found #7. That'd be cool.
(by the way, I did remember correctly. You can visit

and scroll down the comments to Jason's, posted at 12:47 PM for a tidbit of "insider info" on Found.)
"'But, chicks...'! I said 'but, chicks...'. C'mon, Dad, you know it is to get a word in edgewise when a bunch of girls get talking all at once."
How or why is Comic sans ironic in this instance? I mean, I know everyone's supposed to hate comic sans, and use it NEVER, for any reason. But where's the irony of ironies?
frankly, who would want to send their kids to this school or have to go to this school. it appears to be some kind of child prison system. there is no carrott with the stick, just the stick stick stick
--quickly doing math in head---
This Disciplnee (?) now has 10 demerits.
Aw, I want to see the matrix about how many demerits merit (lol) what consequences!!
This looks more like a prescription...for a lousy childhood.
No food or drink outside the cafeteria.
No chewing gum.
Out of bounds?
Demerits for disorder in LUNCH? And for not having your elementary school ID on you. Most important.
I wonder how many demerits they get if they spill their cafeteria-enclosed lunch on their orange jumpsuits?
