Now, as much as I’d love to say that it’s funny and kinda silly to have you be written up for something like this, I gotta say that this is actually justified. Only because you’re supposed to be studying and paying attention. These teachers aren’t being paid to be babysitters, they’re there to teach and make you smart enough not to work at a burger joint the rest of your life. I know I’ll get yelled at for my opinion, but that’s just how I feel about it.
That made my morning. I just love it that this website had to be written down in the “Reason For Detention” (instead of it being something like, “he was surfing the web”) Classic.
Ross…… as a teacher I have to say that was totally a valid reason to be punished – not paying attention. I would’ve laughed at what was on the screen, but I still would’ve given the punishment.
That being said…… this is HILARIOUS…..nice job!
also – I L O V E that this has brought out so many OfficeTally fans that are teachers out of the woodworks!!!! Krista – I’ve totally been playing around with the idea of using Schrute Bucks too…..my classes though are too young to be watching the show so I fear they wouldn’t get it.
This quite possibly is the nerdiest detention ever. Well done!! Although, this could hurt your chances of getting into a good school like, oh I don’t know, Cornell. (Ever heard of it?)
Ah, well…I do the same.
now that’s dedication

unless there’s another marcus outside of texas, that’s my old high school! don’t remember a room 26, though.

Ross – as an 8th grade teacher and Office fan, I would’ve given you a stern warning and then discussed your favorite episode with you after class!
All of my teachers at school love The Office and this site so I never get in trouble when I am on. So lucky!
Aaaahahahahhaa. YES!!! This is awesome. This and the Richard Avis “that’s what she said” detention slip are pure gold.

If it’s the Marcus in town, I’m thrilled that there are other OT fans in town. Go FM!!!!!
I reject the idea that OfficeTally.com isn’t part of Academic Computing Essentials.
Ha ha this is hilarious. There are worse things to be written up for, this is a necessity.
OfficeTally is the very definition of an academic computing essential. Ross, your teacher is crazy. You should be teaching this class.
hahaha what state is this from? there is a marcus hs in texas! but this is great honestly i love it.
This is like the most hilarious discussion ever.
Thanks you guys! :)

George – My mom just laughed, it was a stupid reason to get a detention.
jkrasislove – I do that too. I was just caught off guard.
Tanster – This was the first detention I’ve ever gotten, but I like that I got it this way.
Ross Timmus, you are a great man.
Krista = Teacher of the millennium.
I bet it was well worth it! Don’t worry. When you get to college you can be on officetally for the whole class and the professors do not say anything!
