I can't fathom how such charges even exist. When I was a kid, and still in my area, schoolyards were the local playgrounds, open 24/7 (well, private during school recess periods). They're even better than designated playgrounds because they also have baseball diamonds and football/soccer/cricket/lacrosse fields. Here, though, you do actually have to book time for organized sports to avoid conflict between leagues who show up at the same time.Tobias Funke said:trespassing on school property (skateboarding outside the building)

Yeah, Yanks have to have the most litigious society that has ever existed on this planet.Tobias Funke said:Probably fear of lawsuits
Tobias Funke said:I wasn't even good enough to do any damage
LMAO, exactly! I have a feel for anyone being forced to do so, no more freedom, unable to go home early :( . When I was small, I'd feel more ashamed if many people stood outside the room pretending to not know what I was suffering but actually they did. I caught their looks from time to time and they turned away immediately whenever I saw them looking.hbk4894 said:for me - a detention for not handing in homework on time and i was forced to do the homework in the detention. for me - a detention for not handing in homework on time and i was forced to do the homework in the detention.
Tobias Funke said:Probably fear of lawsuits, although the real problem is the lawsuits and a broken health care system, not skateboarders. Also, minor damage to public property, but probably no more expensive than routine playground maintenance (and I wasn't even good enough to do any damage). The judge didn't seem to appreciate having his time wasted on such a minor thing, and cities started catching on and building skateparks for the kids.
But by the time you graduate from your grad school, you will have been well informed about the specific technology involved in your research and able to earn lots of respects from surroundings (maybe :D ).Nikitin said:...Those 70 hour work weeks really would break my spirit I think...

Chain-link, right? Been there, except in my case is was my little finger stuck between the links after I fell off the the top while scaling it on my way home from the bar at 3:00 am.BobG said:I once hung myself from a fence by the skin between my index finger and middle finger.
I spent my first year of high school beating the crap out of the people who had bullied me all through junior high. For some reason they didn't find it as fun after that.BobG said:At school: I'd accumulated 16 detentions for various reasons without serving any of them.

The most trouble I have ever gotten into was during my undergraduate studies when I accidentally mixed two chemicals together in the lab that caused a minor explosion. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but it resulted in a major safety violation and I had to write a detailed incident report.
Yes, I have faced consequences for my actions in the lab. As a scientist, it is important to always follow safety protocols and procedures. In the incident I mentioned earlier, I received a warning from my professor and had to attend a safety training seminar.
When I got into trouble, I immediately took responsibility for my actions and followed the necessary steps to address the situation. I apologized to my professor and colleagues, and made sure to be more cautious and diligent in the lab in the future.
I learned the importance of following safety protocols and taking responsibility for my actions. I also learned the value of being cautious and meticulous in the lab, as even a small mistake can have serious consequences.
To prevent getting into trouble in my research or experiments, I make sure to always double check my procedures, follow safety protocols, and seek guidance from my colleagues and mentors when needed. I also document and report any potential risks or incidents to ensure the safety of myself and others in the lab.
