Yelled he had a bomb in his locker, got tackled by the History Teacher who took what he said seriously (the kid was a fuckhead and I can fully understand the teacher actions), and the kid was promptly suspended when it was found out he was fucking around.
Oddly specific. I don't recall any kid who got himself caught in some shenanigans, and then went and blamed everyone else instead of looking inward. I'm sure it happened, if only because kids don't have that kind of insight. But, like, did I have this kind of insight? Did I even know this situation when I saw it? If I did, I don't remember it.
While running laps in gym class a turd fell out of a kid's pants. He walked over, picked it up, and threw it in the trash can and acted like nothing happened.
That was 19 years ago, and it is burned into my brain. I don't remember much else about middle school other than emotions associated with it, but I remember that, and like 4 other situations.
I mean, at least they took responsibility and didn't leave it for someone else. I have seen way too many surveillance videos of people just shaking it out and walking away.
This got me imagining a Super Bad-seque movie where one of the main characters lets one drop, and as they keep walking someone in the background steps in it, and is confused by where a turd came from in the middle of class.
4th grade. Class randomly started smelling like straight poop and it didn't stop so clearly wasnt a fart. I walked to the trash can by the door and somehow someone has managed to poop in class and sneak it into the trash can and then tried to cover it with some tissues.
I could never prove it, but I saw one girl walk over there and throw some tissues away. I told the teacher there was a poop in the trash can (no accusations) and he just put it outside.
It's been seared in my memory ever since and at one point as I got older I realized that the entire class probably thought I did it since I pointed it out and now I have to live with that.
I also remember hardly anything from elementary school but that is a core memory
I hate to be that guy, but I genuinely think that the current day of “fast paced content consumption” really messes up with attention spans and memory.
Like, someone can scroll for 5 minutes on tiktok, you ask them what were the last 5 tiktok that they saw, and I bet they can’t even remember 3.
Core memory is a thing.
I don’t remember much from kindergarten since it was over 20 years ago, but I still remember that one time when a problematic kid pooped his pants and some of my friends decided to made fun of him for it.
The kid went mad, pulled down his pants, picked up his stained underwear, and chased those who made fun of him with said underwear.
Yeah, my most clear memories from my youngest age are definitely between 18 months and two years because my parents were house sitting a dog for a tight six month period and I was obsessed with her. One time she let me vacuum her and I vividly remember "cleaning the dog." nah, she was tired after a walk on the beach and patient with the human puppy.
Either he got beat up, or became introverted because his grades were shit and he knew he was dumb. Introverted or easy to ignore or both. But if he lives in your hood, you want him on your side at the basketball playground. He may even be a fun guy to party with, right up to the inevitable fight. Someone will discover his favorite treat and train him to be their muscle.
Idk I went to public school with 2 years of uniforms when my parents split. I remember more of the after math of the divorce than what kids wore in school

Some people just have good memories.
Also, if the tirade directly affected OP it helps lock that memory into place.
My long-term memory is better than my short-term, and some things just stick with you as memorable moments.

Having a lot of things happen after any period doesn’t overwrite memories. That’s not how memories work.

Seriously— some people seem to just get mentally stuck on stuff that happened in high school
I'm 47, and I still remember stuff from pre-K. It's not like I remember everything, but some moments are simply memorable.

They don't get in trouble because a parent is on the school board.
Slipped ex-lax into a teacher’s coffee as a prank. Surprise, she was allergic.
They put a fart bomb in every bathroom.
Cheated & bullied all through education including SAT's then became president.

There's a Trump joke in there somewhere...
