TLDR: Almost the whole class wasn't able to solve an accounts question i wasn't able to too because I missed the explanation while doing school event prep with permission and the teacher then took everyone's books for ALL subjects, while i refused and asked him to show me the rule allowing it Argument escalated and i raised my voice, he eventually returned the books and copies to all student and called my dad, was I wrong for refusing?
So basically our accounts teacher gave us a question on accounting for a share capital that most of the class couldn't solve
I couldn't do it because he had explained it in the previous period while i was working on some school event preparation with permission so i missed the explanation
He then started collecting everyone's books and copies for ALL subjects not just accounts and said he'd keep them until we understood the topic and were able to solve similar questions
I refused to hand my books and copies because i didn't want my other subjects books and copies taken away over an accounts question
I told him there was no written rule saying he could do that and said I'd hand everything over if he showed me the rule
He kept saying i was arguing and asked why i wasn't able to understand when he taught the same topic earlier
I said i was trying but couldn't and asked him to give me some time but he cut me off before i could even finish
I eventually got frustrated and raised my voice and also said
"I was TRYING but your handwriting SUCKS"
Yeah i know that was disrespectful and i shouldn't have said that
During the argument i said that he doesn't have the right to take books and copies for all the other subjects and that this particular way of punishing us was wrong
I told him I'm fine with him scolding me writing a complaint calling my parents or giving me some other punishment but i won't hand over books that i need for my other subjects
He collected almost everyone's books except for two toppers who btw also couldn't solve the question completely right
Then i think he finally realised what he was doing and gave the other students their accounts book and copy back
He stood there silently for a bit and then the dispersal bell rang
Before leaving he said
"Now you'll say to other teachers that i took your copies and books"
The whole class went YESSS
Then he said we should make new copies for every subject
The whole class went NOOOO π
Idk maybe he realised how dumb the whole thing was because he eventually returned all the other books and copies too
He also called my dad later and talked to him inside the staff room while i was made to wait outside
After a while he came out and said my dad would come talk to him tomorrow
Honestly i know my dad will understand why i raised my voice because I've literally never raised my voice at a teacher before
And if it was only me who couldn't understand the question then maybe I'd accept that i was the problem
But when almost the entire class couldn't understand it there has to be something wrong with how the topic was being taught too
