Haha, don't worry, Frumius, I got the joke

. I also thought that Hank's post was pretty funny too

I recently got from my Ryu Jin: How many scales? I'll count... 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9...... he got up to 48 and stopped....

that's funny man. I think the worst i have ever gotten was my math teacher taking a half finished origami, and licence to fold, right off my desk, and keeping it until the end of class.

You brought your Licence to fold TO SCHOOL?! Wow, you're pretty brave... I'd pretty scared to bring mine in public. It did cost a lot of money.

I almost lost it to! I ran into class and was lucky no one had stolen it already.
your right it does cost a lot of money

That was an incredulous tale.

I call this theft, no teacher has the right to confiscate your personal belongings. He can ask you to put it away or hand it over voluntarily but taking it without your permission is nothing more than thievery, even if it's only for a short time.

Well here in the UK, under the 2006 Education and Inspections Act, teachers may confiscate items if, and I quote,
"1. they had the requisite authority (any paid member of staff does, as do unpaid staff members if so authorised by the headteacher)
2. the confiscation was on school premises, or elsewhere where the pupil was under their control
3. the confiscation was ‘reasonable’."

I think having your License to Fold out in the middle of class warranted your teacher's decision.

But the teachers still can't hit the students!

Orislater is like 13...He's old enough to know the teacher was gonna take that away. And F.Y.I., if it makes you feel any better, I'm 27 and my manager takes my origami away if I try to do it at work

Haha, I folded in class all through middle and high school. A few times teachers took away what I was folding/asked me to stop, but most of the time teachers just got used to it and let me be XD

I've worked out a deal with a few teachers so that i can fold..... but they get to keep what I make

well, im a freshman in highschool now. most people ask me how i did that. i always answer 'i folded it' there response ' i know that, but how did you fold it?' does anyone know how i should answer that? i dont get that question at all. and the other day in school, i was trying to design a praying mantis and this old italian russian sub lady came up to me and said' no, you no play with paper in my class' and then she picks it up and throws it out. it was actually pretty funny.
