Ok, now you guys are going to laugh at me for this. I'm probably going to look back on this and groan later lol but yeah. I'm in year 10 at school (9th grade) and we've just started our GCSE subjects. Our school has this rule that you have to take a technology subject- soI took food, which is basically cooking.
It was all going ok, until we started doing practicals where we actually cook. Our food rooms at school are laid out in quite an impractical manner. There are basically 3 communal tables, and to the right of these there are units which contain sinks and a cooker.
This is highly impractical, because we are all concentrated in such a small area. So anyway, it was all going ok, until our teacher told us we had 20 minutes left and we had to start tidying up. My friends and I walked over to our sink, and we did a double take. The sinks were full, and I mean there were literally utensils and equipment stcked up spilling out everywhere. When we cleared up our stuff, we asked hte other people on our table if the rest was theirs. Noone claimed it and we were forced to clean it all up ourselves.
This continued to happen for weeks, until as we were going out one lesson, the technician said to us: "Just a warning, if you girls do not tidy your things away again, I'm going to report you to the head of food". We told her that it wasn't us leaving stuff out, and that we always washed all of it, despite it not being ours. She softened slightly, and told us that it was just a warning and we should pass it on.
We aren't entirely sure who keeps leaving their things out (although I think it's a few people). Anyway, the next few lessons we were doing theory, which was alright- no more aggro. But a few of the girls on our table got in trouble with our teacher for misbehaving. One of the girls shouted in our food teacher's face, which was the final straw, and the teacher put her in an after school detention. The teacher told her it was for repeatedly being rude, behaving in a very threatening manner, and also that she didn't put her washing up away ever.
Today my friends and I got called out of our lessons by our Head of Year. She told us that the girl complained about being picked on by her food teacher to the Head of Year, and also she told her that it was us who never did the washing up(!!)
Needless to say- our head of year doesn't believe us because the food technician has told her that the girls all put their things away (which is a total LIE). So we're going to be punished for lying and for not putting things away.
Has anyone got any ideas of what we can do? I feel so powerless, but we didn't do it. It's so annoying that we're being punished when we actually do the complete opposite.

It's just a shame we didn't all get brought together so we could discuss it altogether and maybe smooth out any misunderstandings.
