upset about event at school?

[pomegranate]

Because they are bright, intelligent pupils who want school to be a happy, free and enjoyable learning experience as they mature into well balanced adults and not some vile oppressive regime where they are scared to speak out of turn, offer an opinion or, heaven forbid, behave like independent people with opinions of their own?

I'm not defending the teacher, he's a douche. But if class is in session and isn't related to said private discussion you should be paying attention.

Some context would be nice, I'm confused by the OP.

I'm sorry I didn't make it clear enough. It was before class started and it's music class so we were just unpacking our instruments and chatting.

Right now I feel like I should have stood up and said "excuse me?", make my case, and get sent to the headmaster's or something, because I couldn't do so last week.
Last week when the rest of my Christian family made me join their prayer circle to honor my late grandmother, I refused. My cousin and uncles got so mad that we had a huge family fight. I sat there quietly, holding back my anger. Ugh school
