I am also American (US) and I agree. Some teachers are just ridiculous. I had one that wouldn't allow you to say anything but "here" while taking attendance, and would correct you over and over and eventually give detention if you said "present."

I had one that believed if your printer spit out a blank sheet of paper, you couldn't reuse it.... just because someone is a teacher doesn't make them good at teaching lol.
