One high schooler was upset by their teacher's policies, so they decided to follow his rules to the letter.

Every teacher is different when it comes to keeping order in their classrooms. Some teachers have a million rules and stick to them strictly. Others have more relaxed policies, and only become strict when it's absolutely necessary. This high school teacher was very strict, and he wouldn't leave any room for error with his young pupils. That can be frustrating for kids, especially since they can't talk back to their teachers to express their irritation. The OP, u/georgilm, had an encounter with one extra strict teacher, and was in that exact scenario. They realized they couldn't win against a tyrannical teacher… so they just played by his rules instead.

For this teacher, the only reason someone should ever be late is if their school bus was running late. To be fair, lots of teachers only have about 45 minutes to teach each lesson, so if a kid misses the first five or seven minutes, they're missing a lot. Schools tend to be quite militant about tardiness, but this teacher just took his methods a little too far. And he even had 70 minutes per class period, so he really could've taken a minute to chill out.
