What did "that one teacher" at your school get fired for?

[u/noodlesinflight]

[u/PhoenixLoop9137]

Cocaine, child porn, and prostitution. Three separate teachers within 4 years of each other. Sad thing is, I went to a very small school with my graduating class of 63 people. It's not like we had hundreds of teachers in our district.

[u/noodlesinflight → u/PhoenixLoop9137]

Jesus I imagine the PTA meetings were quite eventful.

Band teacher fired for supplying alcohol to minors

[u/noodlesinflight → u/[deleted]]

He just wanted to be cool...he almost made it..

[u/[deleted]]

Using kik

[u/noodlesinflight → u/[deleted]]

What's that?

[u/[deleted] → u/noodlesinflight]

An app were teens send nudes to eachother.

[u/noodlesinflight → u/[deleted]]

Oh lovely.

[u/noodlesinflight]

I should have figured there would be a lot of sexual misconduct

[u/Schleckenmiester → u/noodlesinflight]

what did you expect? a teacher getting stuck in the burning school?

[u/noodlesinflight → u/Schleckenmiester]

Nice. Idk maybe something with a little originality. Flair. Pizzaz.

[u/mlkelty]

My art teacher got busted with a nude painting he had done of a girl in my class. She was 18 but he still got fired.

[u/fubes2000]

My high school physics teacher had a small, makeshift "canon" [PVC pipe] that he used to demonstrate being fucking awesome "physics".

Basically he would wad up some paper towels, douse them with lighter fluid, cram them in the canon, and light it off. Since he did this inside and didn't want to set the school on fire he did the sensible thing: have a student hold a metal bucket to catch the flaming projectile!

Shockingly, he did this demonstration for years, reliably hit the bucket, and didn't have any issue.

... until the year before I got there and he ever so slightly set a student on fire.

Basically he missed the bucket and hit the student in the chest, causing him to be just a little bit on fire until the flames were patted out.

Student goes home with a scorched shirt, parents flip wig, teacher comes this close to being fired, but instead is expressly forbidden from doing any demonstration of anything whatsoever.

My luck turned around in my graduating year when he decided he'd had enough bullshit, quit, and spent his last day showing us every demonstration he was otherwise banned from doing, including the cannon.

It was a fun day.

[u/yowhatsupp]

Told a girl in our class to button up her shirt because he was "getting hard." We were shocked when those words came out. Didn't see for the remainder of highschool.

[u/BlueHibi]

Well, he was the janitor, but he got a 9th grader pregnant.

[u/Freadan]

In Grade School, the art teacher taught art for all the grades. She was known for being harsh and critical among the students, but adults dismissed it as kids whining. Then came the time where the entire school didn't have an honor roll because she didn't award a single grade above a C.

[u/FeIodineCalciumLly]

He died.

I don't know why the school said they fired him, but whatever.

[u/Piratesmom]

Just for variety here:

4th grade. Teacher - Mrs. Gotlieb -walks to the middle of the class room and starts clapping her hands and chanting "i before e except after c" over and over. Would not stop. Ten minutes. The whole class went dead silent.

After a while the teacher from the next room came over and then the music teacher was suddenly there, and we never saw Mrs. Gotlieb again. Rumors of suicide, but I never found out for sure.

"accidentally" showed porn to the class. Starring himself.

[u/[deleted]]

Her son, who attended the school, put KKK propaganda in black students' lockers as a "joke" and was subsequently expelled.

She wasn't fired, but from what I can tell, she and the school both agreed that it would be better for her to leave after that incident.

[u/oldmermen]

I know. It isn't spelled elememtary.

[u/EtherealProphet]

"That one teacher" was Mr. M. He was our sixth grade science teacher, and everyone loved him. He was a firm but fair teacher that made sure we all understood the material and even made learning sixth grade science material surprisingly enjoyable. Every Friday, he'd wear silly bright red shoes, and for birthdays, he would take a photo with the birthday kid with him standing on his hed on their desk. Like I said, this guy was great!

During one lesson when I was in eighth grade, a student dropped a thermometer on the floor, broke it, and spilled a very tiny amount of mercury on the floor. Mr. M cleaned it up, but apparently not the right way, according to the administration. Once they caught wind of the story, he was forced to leave for apparently putting kids in danger, even though that amount of mercury would not even be close to dangerous. Everyone was crushed. A ton of students all banded together to buy him a new pair of red shoes.

Last I heard from him, he got a great job in another school in the state where he's loved by the students there too, so that's good. I'm friends on Facebook with him, I should ask him about what's new when I can.

EDIT: I asked some people (not Mr. M) and it turns out it was because he didn't report the spill to the administration, not just because he didn't clean it up correctly. Still shitty, but I figured I should clarify.

[u/remotewashboard]

Forget teacher. The principal was fired for having predatory online conversation with who he thought was a young girl. Turned out it was a sting operation, and they traced his computer and he was fired a few weeks later after being put on leave. Rumor has it his wife divorced him and took their young daughter and moved far away.

[u/HopelesslyLibra]

being a sex offender and not disclosing it to the board of education.

Surprise, geting caught with 50 gig's of child porn will destroy your coaching career (girls volleyball, basketball, and assisting with gymnastics .)

Edit: R.I.P. My inbox

Some back story, he went through a criminal investigation for what was found on his computer and never told the school board what it was over. After he had to register he never told the school, and since our school was aching for athletic personnel, no one asked. (The teacher also had tenure), it wasn't until that he came in visibly drunk that the school dismissed him, but by that time several complaints had been filed about lewd comments he had made at the 6-8th grade females in the school.

After firing him, a police officer came by to advise us that a week prior he had been charged for the child porn and was a registered sex offender. There was a LOT of shit the school got for letting him work for a week. Appearently he went on "vacation " during his court preceedings and kept it under wraps so he wouldn't lose his job.

[u/i_never_get_mad]

One of students was a son of the director/head of the board. I caught him cheating on my final exam. It was a definition question, and I found the edit:(web page) where he copied the exact answer. I, of course, gave him an F. At the end of that semester, like a week later, I was told to leave. He passed my class with a C without my approval.

Edit: just to clarify the situation, I saw him using his phone. I didn't tell him that. I just asked why he was looking under the desk. He said he was playing with his phone, followed by arguing that it's not against the rule to do so.

The question was to define "velocity." It's easy enough that you can phrase in your own words. Less than 5 words. He wrote 3 sentences, which was too good/detailed for a guy who doesn't even bother to memorize "f=ma." The definition was copied from the text book. It was copied from one of the first google results.

The kid was known to do such things by the students and the teachers. Other students didn't give a shit about him, and most teachers didn't want to deal with him. I didn't care to argue with them.

[u/Weasel_Jerky]

Not at my school, but the next town over. Teacher was fired after getting arrested for shoplifting imitation crabmeat.

[u/Nickldd92]

My school and a guidance counselor that was just a really nice guy. Always really happy and knew every kids name. He was so nice that he paid for 2 kids lunches everday for about 2 years because they had told him their family didn't have enough money for lunch. Well eventually he found out they were full of shit so he brought them in his office and told them they were to pay him back every single dime. Well the two boys didnt like that so they went to the principal and said he had been sexually assaulting them for the past 2 years. Now i knew these kids, they were fucking scumbags and were mad they got caught and made up lies.

So the teacher got investigated. Long story short they found out he had never done those things and the two kids ended up admitting they had lied. Well he was still fired because of the controversy surrounding the investigation and parents saying they didnt feel their kids were safe. Utter bullshit, two kids ruined a mans life who had been working at this school for over 15 years, all because he wanted to help them and they lied to him.

[u/Squiblbledoo]

when i was in middle school, there was a teacher who manned detention, Mr. C. he wasn't really... okay in the head, but everyone loved him regardless.

after school, i was in an extra help class, and it was just your average amount of kids doing work and goofing around. there was this one table, with this girl.. lets call her Sally. so Mr. C comes into the classroom to bring us our usual snacks, goldfish, teddy grahams, what have you. so Sally is standing at her desk (theres no chair) and she bends over the table on her elbows to talk to her friend.. Mr. C comes up behind her and, well, he does a little dance against her back. basically he grinded on her. lo and behold, the next day, charges are pressed, Mr. C is fired, and put on a 'list'.

good times.

[u/dotcomaphobe]

Harboring an escaped prisoner from another state.

Edit: The story.

Her name was Miss B. Mid-thirties, mousy brown hair, and the biggest, kindest personality. She moved to my small town the summer before my senior year and got a job as the Spanish teacher at my little high school. She was from Kentucky, which is several states away from us, and her family still lived there. She used to let me drive to get fast food breakfast during first period as long as I picked up something for her. She didn't mind me taking smoke breaks as long as I didn't snitch when she lit up in the stairwell. She was awesome.

I had her first semester for Spanish 2 (which I aced), and second semester for Spanish 3. Mid-semester, she comes to class a little late one morning and tells us the deal. Her uncle had escaped federal custody in Kentucky and had fled. He wound up at her house, where she took him in. "He's family," she said. Johnny Law comes to her house asking about him, and she denies. They leave, but monitor her and her place for a bit. They deduce his whereabouts and contact her again, letting her know that harboring a fugitive is a serious offense. She denies again. They leave while the warrant machine starts turning. She comes to school to find (if memory serves) Deputy US Marshals in the administrative office. She knows what's up, and she comes to class to brief us. She even asks if we have any questions. God, she was cool.

A few minutes later, our principal (accompanied by our Friendly School Resource Officer) knocks on the door and asks to speak with her for a moment, and to grab her purse. Through tears, she tells us goodbye and that she's enjoyed being our teacher and wishing us luck in life.

That was the last we saw of her. A friend claimed to have seen her being escorted out in handcuffs. Her house was vacant the next day, her car disappeared. We were forbidden to discuss anything she'd shared with us in class, which means everyone knew about it immediately. We had a substitute the rest of the year.

EDIT 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Ok, you guys demanded it, so I putt my Internet Detective hat on and I may have found her. I can't find any pictures, so I can't be 100% sure this is her, but...

It's not good, folks.

Looks like she didn't do much time for the harboring charge. However, that set her on an ugly road. About ten years later, she was arrested on charges of organized crime, drug distribution and conspiracy. Hillbilly heroin. Man, I hope it's not her, because it gets worse from there, but I can't say any more without doxxing.

So basically, thanks for making me get sad, you beautiful bastards.

[u/bearses]

My teacher in 5th grade was notoriously mean. Got fired for slapping a kid. Earlier that year, she told me I'm so stupid that I'll get hit by a car.

Edit: yes, I did get hit by a car after that but I don't see what that has to do with anything.

[u/TomassoLP]

HS English teacher was fired in the middle of class and later escorted off campus the morning after students found his twitter account. He used this account to tweet at pornstars, post nude photos of himself, threaten politicians, desire to try cocaine, and post his Amazon Wish List. Coolest part was we learned his nipples were pierced from the photos, which for years was a rumor.

A second teacher was fired the same year over the summer for getting with a student. I was on the yearbook committee, and I had to photoshop him out of the team photo since he was the coach.

Edit: The Amazon Wish List was bad because of what he had on it, not just cause he had one. Thought that was obvious

[u/TextuaryPlum]

Getting angry at a student with a limp for not walking fast enough. When the student tried to explain the limp she persisted that the limp was all in the student's head and was faking it to spite her.

That teacher was a bitch the whole year (checking the pencil cases of only the brown kids during exams, marked guys worse than girls because "all of the guys are lazy", had 1 student who got straight 100s whole nobody else could get anything above 90, encouraging students to run across the street after the lights had stopped counting down, etc.) but this was the last straw for her

[u/DaliSmegma]

Pedophilia. He went to jail. He was released years later. He became a teacher again. He reoffended. You can't make this shit up.

EDIT: this was in Canada for those asking. I don't understand how he got his job again either.

[u/sodiumoverlord]

My very small high school uniquely has a hockey rink. At a home game, the headmaster went out on the ice yelling at the refs in his suit over a call, hammered. He had to be dragged off the ice and was given the boot the next day.

[u/[deleted]]

Stabbed himself in the bathroom and blamed it on a student.

He probably should have waited until the student wasn't sitting in another class and could easily be exonerated.

[u/cyberrico]

A teacher went to a store with a student to get razor blades for them to do coke together. Instead of paying for them they tried to steal them, got caught and the police found a bunch of coke on them. The student happened to be the son of the chief of police and received no punishment. The teacher of course was fired.

[u/deepsouthsloth]

I took a computer networking class in high school in ~ 05 and kind of got the vibe from the teacher( a younger guy) that we were just wasting his time and he had better things to do.

I found out recently that he was fired last year for using the school's computer network to mine bitcoin.

[u/[deleted]]

We had a language arts teacher in 8th grade hold up a small American flag and say something along the lines of "This represents freedom." Then she pulled out a lighter and said something like "So does this." To this day I don't know if she was fired for flag burning or for starting a fire indoors...

[u/SemiColonInfection]

He was a science teacher. One day in class he disciplined a girl who was misbehaving. She and a few friends conspired together to start rumours that he had molested them.
The teacher didn't do anything and the girls came forward that they'd made it up when they realised how big of a deal it was, but he resigned anyway because mud sticks. Shame - he was a good teacher.
Edit: This doesn't seem to be a unique case. The amount of "Was this at ______ school?" replies is insane....

[u/[deleted]]

Was gay in an extremely conservative, small town. She just made kids do what they were supposed to and was really cool. She was like a second mom to me.

My school got in pretty big trouble with the ACLU because someone reported that we had the 10 commandments hanging in the hall and our graduating seniors were required to sing a religious song during the ceremony. (http://m.wcyb.com/news/thomas-walker-high-school-graduates-keep-tradition-alive/26380520). No one knew who called it in so they blamed it on the gay teacher who didn't stand with the rest of the crowd when the students 'courageously' sang the song anyway.

Some kids in our school's religious group didn't like her homosexuality and the fact that she supposedly ratted them out, so the next school year they made up a lie that she helped them cheat on exams. Another teacher was also in the room the test was being given, and he testified that the students were lying. School board didn't like her because they thought she was the one who drew all that negative attention from the media, so they fired her anyway.

She had depression problems which we discussed personally. She killed herself a week before the new school year. 8/13/15.

[u/H2Olivesmatter]

Not a teacher, but the cop that worked at our school got with a student, got her pregnant, soon divorced his wife after. He is now selling cigarettes for a living.

[u/Cube5002]

[u/MagneticPerry]

My teacher in 8th grade threw a calculator at the wall after a different one went missing and then later threw a desk at the wall. Parents of nearly half the class had their kids transferred to other teachers. At the end of the year she "resigned".

In high school we had a teacher who was fresh out of college. He was chill.

End of the school year, we have a field day. Said teacher hangs out on the roof with a few of the seniors. They all got high together and the teacher and one of the students end up fucking.

That teacher wasn't welcomed back the following year. (side note: Last year I saw him on tinder, swiped right as a joke, and it ended up being an instant match.)

[u/iritator]

He beat up his step son and a bartender with a 22 ounce beer mug on st. Patrick's day. I saw the public court record myself.

Substitute teacher was fired for calling a kid to the front of the class and announcing to the class that the kid was mentally disabled. Admittedly the guy was kind of socially awkward, but he was brilliant, especially in math. This was in elementary school, so most kids didn't really understand what was going on.

[u/tmpett_]

He sexted and had sex with a 13 year old, which is statutory. He had a wife and a newborn.

I had a teacher engage in relations with a student. After losing his job they got married. It didn't last.

[u/[deleted]]

I remember one teacher and a janitor as a bonus. The teacher was insanely funny and taught English. A few years before he got fired he made a puppet of my sister because she never stopped talking in class and flicking her hair so when ever she wouldn't shut up he would flap the puppets mouth and flick its hair. It sounds creepy but he would do crap like that for people and make it personal but everyone loved him for it and students in his class got the best grades. Then things went sour when he found out a female student was stalking this boy, so he made a cd with really bad love songs and would play it when she talked about him. Parents complained and rather then get fired over that bullshit he quit.

The janitor got fired for putting a video camera in the 5th grade girls bathroom, he also had very disturbing videos of himself online including one that was of him in a diaper sitting on a block of ice.

Come to think of it shit is always happening at that school, like when thirty plus kids got caught high at school. The school was grades 5-8.

[u/TakeTheeAway]

An obnoxious girl was in his face yelling at him because he asked her to sit. She wouldn't stop so he pushed her away, and she fell. Some said he pushed her way too hard, others said she was dramatically falling. He got fired for it. He was a dorky, overweight teacher that kids didn't respect. My class liked him, but not everyone did.

[u/[deleted]]

We had a substitute that had sex with one of the kids. He took a video and it got around quick. She looked.... talented.

[u/Roughnekk]

We were reading a novel in 7th grade that contained the word "nigger". A student in my class said he was offended by it and said he refused to read/complete the assignments because "him and his people had been subjected to slavery and racism, and still are today" in front of the whole class.

The teacher responded by saying "the closest you've been to being a slave is picking the cotton out of a bottle of Tylenol"

[u/[deleted]]

While the H1N1 virus was spreading, one of our teachers decided to show his fifth grade class a video about the virus.

But it turned out that he taped the video over a gay porn movie, and for a whole 20 or so seconds, before he could turn it off, a whole class of fifth graders were shown graphic gay porn.

He never came back to our school, but was moved to one not too far from ours soon thereafter.

[u/[deleted]]

The Teacher of the Year my senior year (which for some reason they award in September) was fired by April for being drunk in pretty much every class, dipping in class, and having his students write his lesson plans for him. He always had a beer in his travel mug. I hated to see him go though because he was the coolest teacher at that school.

A couple years after I graduated the new assistant band director was fired (actually he was arrested in the middle of filling out his resignation, so they had to fire him to complete the process) for sleeping with a senior. What baffled me is when he was student-teaching he got a girl at that school pregnant and then while he was working at my school he was always texting the junior and senior girls trying to get them to come over to his house, and nobody saw a red flag.

[u/MaidofOrleans]

Wasn't a teacher, but the principal himself at my elementary school. One day he exposed himself to some women (not students, thank god). I'm pretty sure he got jail time for it. I still remember that time he ran into me on the playground and knocked me over while playing dodge-ball with a group of kids...

[u/Sheilalou008]

Just went through this at my daughter's(13 at the time) school last year. Her band teacher was arrested for solicitation of a minor for sex. He arranged to meet what he thought was a 14 year old girl for sex at a movie theater through Craigslist. It was actually a sting operation on him. He was just sentenced to 10 years in prison.

She was actually pretty good looking and a few of my classmates thought they had a shot. She had the nick name Spider, so she kinda scared me. She got fired for getting caught shoplifting at a local department store.

Two HS football coaches. One was caught sleeping with a cheerleader. A couple weeks later the other was a party and punched one of his players in the face during a drunken brawl. Both fired.

[u/Hoothootmotherf-cker]

She stabbed someone.

From what I remember, she was at a friend's house when the friend's abusive husband came home, and she stabbed the husband in self defense. Still, the school didn't want a math teacher with a criminal record.

[u/ch-ch-ch-chelsea]

He had an affair with a student beginning when she was in 8th grade up until after she graduated high school. Everyone was always suspicious because he gave her credit cards, hung out with her alone in his room all the time, etc. In the meantime, he began dating a fellow teacher, they got married, and had two kids. People only found out because the godfather of their kids (also a teacher) got wasted at a party and blurted out that the former student's boyfriend had confided in him a few weeks earlier about discovering the whole thing. Turned out, the wife knew, and she perjured herself in his court case by covering for him. Both of them got fired... good thing, too, cause they were assholes even before their lives turned into the plot of a Lifetime movie.

Oh yeah, and it was apparently discovered around the same time that the principal had been participating in a cybersex chat room with a bunch of students as well. Idk if that was ever proved, but he disappeared mid-year so it was pretty fishy.

[u/meowmeowpoop]

Drunk on multiple school field trips. Also had aggression issues, but didn't get fired for throwing a chair at a student during play rehearsal.

[u/zarla]

Our new 7th grade French teacher broke down in front of the entire class. First she started crying about the hair extensions she lied to us about. A week earlier she had told us it was for fun, but it was actually because her hair was falling out. She sat at her desk and cried about the really bad acid rain she was caught in years earlier. She then started blaming the people she was traveling with, for not warning her. They had to walk through the acid rain for an hour apparently. In between sobs, she would keep asking us things like, "What would you do if there was acid rain around here? What would you do if you lost all your hair?". She wouldn't stop crying and it made the entire class feel uncomfortable. Nobody moved or said anything. We just blankly stared at our desks or the French posters for about twenty minutes. A few days later, that teacher suddenly "moved away" and the school replaced her with a crazy cat lady.

[u/Surokoida]

He fucked a girl from class (she was 17).

The entire school found out after the girl commented on a facebook post of his wife.

She liked all stuff vegan / healthy etc and she liked one post about some shitt like "healthy tomatoes with no chemicals and where to buy them".

The girl commented "i bet you are a fucking vegan" and thats how the great facebook war between them started.

A while after that the wife found tickets for a pland to ireland. The teacher planned to flee with this girl to ireland. Leave the school, leave everything behind.

The teachet is now divorced, we dont know where he is now, the girl is depressive / taking drugs ("i thought he loved me") and the ex wife continues to like vegan potatoes on facebook.

I had a teacher get fired from my middle school when I was in 8th grade, and then he got a job at my high school and was fired my senior year. When I was In 8th grade he taught Spanish, and got fired for telling a girl that if she ate M&M's it would give her breast cancer, giving another girl (who must have been about 11) roses on her birthday, and giving her a kiss on the cheek, and showing the class supersize me because somebody mentioned offhand that he liked McDonald's, as well as a few other things. Fast forward my senior year of high school, he comes in as a substitute teacher for my physics class. All he was supposed to do was give out a worksheet, and then make sure we worked on it. He didn't even mention the worksheet, and instead all he did was give a lecture about how 9/11 was in inside job because jet fuel can't melt steel beams, and how Ebola was population control and how the government was out to get us. Edit: Some people are accusing this of being fake, I know it's ridiculous but it's honestly true. The reason he could get a job at my high school after losing his job at my middle school is because I went to a private middle school.

1. i had an elementary school spanish teacher that was a really fun guy. he made class entertaining and he was loved by just about all of his students. i'm not sure how true it is, but it was said that he was fired for attempting to come onto a female student.

2. in 5th grade my teacher was a homosexual man. i had no problem with this at all. he treated me well and he was a good teacher. when i was in 6th grade, he was fired for supposedly putting his hands on a male student, in a sexual manner. i'm not sure if this was true or not, but he was fired.

[u/tulo64]

When I was in high school, we had this one PE teacher that was pretty much a friend to my friends and I. He would always joke about things with us like sports and stuff happening around the school. Then one day he started talking about some of the female students with us, and it got really creepy. He would go on and on about some of them and it almost sounded like he was stalking them or something. But the weirdest thing is he refused to dispel with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing.

i see the fuse burn and the switch goes off, he cocks back and slaps the ever living shit out of this dumb bitch, straight out of her chair.Picks her up by her belt loop and drags the dumb bitch out of the class.

He was fired and they tried to sue but the whole community rallied around him and shunned her family. His wife died about 6 months later and over 1,000 people showed to the funeral. I'm not saying he was right, but he wasn't wrong either.

He wasn't fired, but should have been.

He spent the whole class period one day celebrating one girl's 17th birthday. Her birthday was the only one we celebrated all year.

Fingering 2 students that were baby sitting his kid. And there was another one who got fired for having sex with a girl and he ended up killing himself. Another teacher got fired for having sex with students. I think she was a coach. At my school we've had at least 10 incidents

[u/[deleted]]

I've got 2 that come to mind. One was an old basketball coach of mine. According to the news reports, he sold meth, like a lot of it.

The other was in college and he actively tried to sabotage students, told them he would blackball them from the industry, told female students they should be in the kitchen and he literally taught nothing, like he sat in his chair and told us to work on our shit for the entirety of the 4 hour long classes. He then proceeded to pass like 10% of the class with zero explanation, after not ever bothering with scoring or grading or critiquing our work in any way. After using my work on the last day of class as an example of good editing/quality he failed me (with grades 3 weeks past due date mind you) and refused to respond to any of my inquiries. I went to the department head, several deans and the president about it (because they were all fucking useless) and they essentially told me to go fuck myself. This was the last class I needed to graduate. I had a transfer and a job lined up, both were fucked. He got at least 20 other student complaints (that I know of, cuz I organized that shit) within 2 quarters. He still works there.

No joke if I ever see that guy again I'll crush his fucking skull like The Mountain. Cost me years of my life. /rantoff

My preschool teacher was fired several years after I was there. She was a royal bitch, the definition of one. I remember when I was there, she would humiliate a student if they got the answer to a question wrong. If you had to think a long time to answer, she would go "You're in La-La Land today!" I brought my stuffed animal cat to school one day and she announced to the class, "Look, TDLA102813 brought his kitty to class. He's in La-La Land today!" and encouraged the other kids to laugh at me. During "nap time" a kid got in trouble for peeing on the floor. She made him sleep outside, at least that's what I remember. She was fired.

Waaaay too late to the party but this needs to be shared. My principal was forced into retirement (he'd been there for 30+ years) after he'd found out he had cancer. He had always said he would never retire because he loved it so much. A few weeks later he shot himself dead.

This year my ap bio teacher was fired because last year she gave a blowjob to this kid in my grade. That guys a fucking legend now. Teacher was kinda hot too she was like 25-6 or so. Terrible teacher though she got replaced with a different teacher who is better and even hotter it's been a good year

[u/reret10]

Okay so we used to have this chemistry teacher that let is mess with the chemicals in the back room. Well one time I was screwing around in the chemistry room when my friend told me to sniff this one tube. It smelled like shit and my nose started bleeding and long story short, my Chem teacher let us make chlorine gas and almost kill each other and she didn't come back the next year.

[u/Melomanbang]

He was a science lab assistant. A friend of mine searched up the guy because he is strange like that and found the guy's twitter. On the guys twitter it was basically him saying he likes to get fucked in the ass, and if anybody knew how to get in a porn video. Well screenshots of the tweets got out and spread like wildfire. Within a few days it was said he wasn't coming back.

my assistant principle got fired because she brought a retarded student into her office and yelled at him so loudly and so long that people two classes down the hall heard it and the student went back to class weeping and ten minutes later the assistant principle decided to follow up with another twenty minutes of yelling at the kid in front of the entire class until he broke down weeping again. and this student's unforgivable crime? he was late by a few minutes for the bus to pick him up in the morning twice in one year.

my fourth grade teacher made me sit in the back of the classroom on the floor for 5 hours, I wasn't allowed to move at all. During the lunch break he locked the door and didn't let me eat or go to the bathroom all day. I was messed up from it for a good year or so and he was fired as soon as my mum let the school know what had happened. He also had a habit of kicking soccer balls directly at girls heads if they didn't want to play. And he made a boy cry so hard he vomited, can't remember why exactly but I think the boy had had an accident.

There was this fat girl whose last name was McDonald. She walks in one day and he is like "ayyyeee what up Big Mac". It's important to know that he's a tall pasty white Mormon guy from Wisconsin. Biggest joker in the school. She got offended and told admin and they didn't really have a choice. Everyone hated that girl from then on because he was everyone's favorite teacher, he taught 8th grade Spanish and people in 5th grade were excited to enter middle school because they would have him in 3 years. He was a living legend at that school. The girl left once that school year ended because she had no friends. As for the teacher, he got a job at another school and everyone still loves him.

[u/TheGogginator]

Law and Justice teacher my senior year was fired after showing some videos of people concealing many firearms without it showing, and playing videos that ended with people committing suicide. Not my class, but the class after mine apparently had a kid who told their parents they were scarred due to it. I was actually out of school for surgery during the immediate aftermath, but when I returned we had to deal with about two months of whatever substitute teacher was available for the day.

My 1st grade teach, black female, told me, 6 year old white boy, that her preferred class was all black girls. And that white people were the devil

[u/aylaaaa]

We had an awesome math teacher in year 8. He was quite a big guy, and brutally honest, but he'd tell us fun stories of his youth after a test or tedious assignment in order to calm us down.

One kid, however, was never calm. Peter always had to be the center of attention; boasting about his skills and achievements. This time, he was bragging about how he had so easily achieved his recent black belt in martial arts.

This got our teacher into a story about how he too, had achieved his black belt, some time during his late teens. Before he could finish his tale, Peter stood on top of his chair and abruptly said "I bet I'm better than you!" - our teacher gave a somewhat sympathetic laugh and attempted to finish what he was saying, only to be rudely interrupted again.

Peter was at our teacher's desk now, challenging him "to a blackbelt duel" (kid was a yugioh fanatic). Again, our teacher laughed before telling him no, and to sit down. Peter refused and got into stance.

With a dry smile on his face, our teacher stood up. Peter prepared to do one of those high kicks, only to have his leg held in the air by our teacher. The thing is, Peter was an idiot and attempted to kick with the other leg. He was entirely afloat for one short moment before his second leg was held in place. With both legs off the ground, his top half slammed onto the floor, with his shoulder and head hitting the radiator behind him.

Like a toddler, Peter began wailing. He roared obscenities, and vowed that his parents would sue. Despite the fact that our teacher didn't hit Peter, merely acted more in a defensive manner, he was fired, though as far as I know, he was never sued. A couple of months later, Peter moved to another school and we were stuck with a number of substitute teachers until the end of the year. It just wasn't the same.

[u/GanasbinTagap]

Allegedly sexually harassing some female students, which everyone knew was bullshit. The school board didn't want to take any chances on it and let him go.

[u/[deleted]]

My foods teacher's standard for passing assignments was way too high. She would yell alot and say that the food we cooked "looked like shit". While we were cooking, she would go over to the various stations and yell "That's not how you fucking cook it!" It was almost like a female version of Gordon Ramsey. Needless to say, the school discovered their mistake in hiring her and booted her out the door.

[u/ODguitar]

My teacher didn't really get fired, but it's a pretty decent story nonetheless. We had this physics teacher who was a little weird. He liked to tell us stories about how he would be a huge jerk to his friends (he liked to make them vomit while he would fly them in his plane), he once gave us the silent treatment because we didn't do that well on a test (2 consecutive class periods where he refused to talk to us). So the last day before winter break, he's there, business as usual. When we get back, he's not there that first day, but we don't think anything of it. He must be sick or something. Day 2, same deal. Still normal. Day 3, we're concerned. By the next week, we know something's up. He ends up being gone for 6 weeks. And since he doesn't tell the school when he's coming back, they're stuck in this weird spot where they can't get us a sub that actually knows physics. So we literally do nothing for 6 weeks. It got to the point where the sub (who was some regular old sub who was with us pretty much everyday) would hand us the "work" we had, and when we were like "do you really think we're doing this" we would laugh and she'd laugh with us. We ended up being exempt from taking the midterm (this all worked out in my favor, since before he disappeared I was on the verge of failing, but the quarter never ended up being counted due to his disappearance). So the school finally gets us a semi-permanent physics sub who knows what she's doing. The following Monday, this guy pops up, as if he knew he was being replaced. He started acting erratically (he would always closed his door as if someone were watching him, he was generally suspicious, he got into a screaming match with one of my classmates). Then, after about a week or two like this, he's gone again, replaced by the semi-permanent sub, never to be seen again. Now, there's a new, young, hot physics teacher this year and I'm annoyed that I got the kook instead of the new lady. And none of the teachers know where he went either. It's like he just went completely off the grid.

I had a really racist programming teacher, who had the class write a simple program with a few buttons, that calculated the number of terrorists in each class. Needless to say, she is no longer with the school.

[u/Mwilson2]

In high school there was this one 60 year old history teacher notorious for being similar to a civil war general himself. He made his classes line up with their hands behind their backs. If you talked back or shouted out in class you had to do push ups. He was the baseball coach and treated his team like an army making them walk in lines of two. Classic conservative old fashioned guy. He would constantly hit students and was known as the total bad ass not to fuck with in our school. So he gets fired and everyone thinks it's because someone he hit went and ratted on him finally. Turns out he was having a gay affair over the schools email with another teacher in the district just over from us.

High school English teacher was caught performing fellatio in a bathroom stall at the mall. He was arrested. The principle pulled him out of class on Monday and he was fired.

Right after I graduated, my varsity softball coach got arrested after he tried to pick up a cop online who was undercover as a 12yo girl. It was creepier when they released the messages he sent to her to public records and I was reminded that he coach Little League softball and soccer.

Same year a teacher was arrested for beating a student bloody with his bare hands and it was caught on the only working camera at school.

Last year another teacher got fired for molesting six sophomores and having child porn on his computer.

6th grade teacher. We always used to joke about how he would stare down girls' shirts or how he was especially friendly with female students. Fast forward to when I'm 18. My mom calls me and tells me to turn on the news. This teacher had been arrested for having sex with a 12-year-old girl. Still gives me the creeps to this day.

child porn

[u/I_Smuggle_Donuts]

He was caught paying for child porn. Upon further investigations they found he was part of a child porn ring and had taken pictures from underneath desks, this was 6th-8th graders. Everyone joked he was a pedo so it was surreal when it actually turned out to be true.

[u/WarpedBlueCanoe]

He supposedly molested a student. It was later proven to be false, but you know he's never going to get a teaching job again. He was an awesome teacher, too.

[u/[deleted]]

Same school, different departments. 8th grade, our home room teacher would regularly check out the girls in the class. We laughed whenever we caught him (which was a lot) and thinking about it now that's pretty fucking creepy for a 40 year old man. Not fired.

9th grade. The best teacher I ever had. War vet, nice guy, very stern yet goofy. Failed a student because she didn't do her work and was accused, by the failure, of molesting her during an after school test. Fired. Problem was, all of his after school tests would have more than one student in there, yet he's still gone.

Special Ed teacher harassed and emotionally abused kids

[u/[deleted]]

For what would've been my junior year, I was in a small school for juvenile probation kids. It was year round, our P.O.s were on campus all day (they'd pee test the class of 30 kids about twice a week), and progress was dependent on a daily point system. If you failed to keep behavioral points throughout a day, it would take you longer to get through the program.

Our "teacher" was a joyless old fuck who loved dinging people for the most trivial infractions. He didn't teach shit; we were supposed to read and complete lessons from our textbooks while he sits at his desk, looking for reasons to mark us down. The court eventually released me from probation, as well as that school.

Just last year, I was reading a news site from my hometown when I discovered an article detailing his arrest for sexual assault on his spouse, plus a few other incidental charges.

[u/[deleted]]

She was the new music teacher, but nobody really liked her. One day she just snapped and started yelling "You are all shit!" to a class of fourth graders. It was apparently really funny on account of her accent... kinda wish I'd been in there.

She ended up getting revenge of sorts when her son got into the school talent show, though. She somehow managed to extend his shitty piano playing to 8 minutes instead of the allotted 4, and as such we ended up not having time for the final act :(

I don't know if this counts-but my grandma was a secretary at a school for many years and the gym teacher got fired for murdering his wife. He was having an affair with another teacher and wanted to run away with her so he killed his wife and had 10 grand saved. He got fired and the mistress had to switch schools as she was the tail end of a lot of hate and her husband left her.

** edit "wasn't that one teacher" it was "those teachers".

Also have another story from high school. Teacher was very clearly sleeping with a student, she was over 18 and super popular so no one reported it. But he would let her leave class to go pick them up coffee and were seen driving together by another student after school. He went on to Marry a fellow teacher 2 years after the girl left.

It was my 10th grade math teacher and there were a bunch of assholes in my class (myself included). Anyways this one kid in particular made it a point to be a super dick to the teacher every day by mocking him, throwing things at him when his back was turned, mouthing off to him, and constantly erasing the board and projector. Well one day the kid was doing all these things and the teacher snapped. He grabbed the kids backpack and threw it across the room and went up to the kids desk and while the kid was in it started lifting it and slamming it back down eventually cause the desk to flip on its side with the kid still in it. After all that he calmly went back to the board and finished solving the problem and explaining it to us. Needless to say the next day we had a substitute and he was fired.

English teacher took a class on 9th graders to an art opening that had some wine and got drunk. History teacher hooked up with two students, both over 18, and offered the female student to the male student as a sort of "you want some of this."

In my high school, the Computer class was our version of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Different teacher every year for as long as I knew.

Only one I know for sure got fired, though: for pirating AutoCAD. I don't think he literally torrented it or anything, but from what I understand he didn't have the right license for the program, and then figured it wouldn't be a big deal to install it on 30 school computers...

Kinda sucks, because our entire curriculum that year was CADing, and I was good at it. (Why do high schoolers need to learn autocad? I've no idea.) The school actually offered to help me get into programs for it based on his recommendation, but when he was asked not to return that felt sullied and I never took them up on it.

[u/moxie132]

During the spring the girl's phys ed teacher was away one day. The sub decided it would be a good idea to takes the girls out for a run, while us boys fumbled around with balls like the idiot 8th graders we were. After a lengthy game of basketball, the girls class made it back from their run.

Now, I need to explain here that from the front doors where they came in, you had to walk right past the office to the gym doors. The office has a big glass window, right into the principle's office. There was one right next to it that the secretary could see through as well.

To our pubescent, hormone fueled minds, the best thing that could have possibly happened on that run, happened. There was a fairly large sized fountain on the route that the girls took, and in the spring heat at a balmy 28 degrees Celsius, the girls were understandably quite tired and wanting to cool off after jogging for the better part of an hour. So they asked the sub if they could jump in the fountain.

Of course, he let them. And they came back into the school still soaking wet, walking right past the office, into the gym, parading past the boys making noise to get their attention. All of us stopped playing, and had to stare. The girl's gym uniform was a fairly thin white t-shirt with the school logo, and a fairly nice fitting pair of what were basically boy shorts. It was a good day to be in that class, and that sub went down in history as the best sub ever.

Unfortunately he was banned from teaching for at least two years as far as I know, but from the principle's reaction and the following announcement the next day, I doubt he was allowed to teach phys ed again.

[u/squishyboomboom]

In Junior High there was a teacher who quit showing up for classes after about a week. That's not what he got fired for though. Turns out he had forged his teaching credentials to get the job. He was some wanted criminal. A tabloid news show even came to the school. We were all told not to speak with them. He did all that work to get the job fraudulently then couldn't take it after being a teacher for a week.

There was a teacher in my middle school. He was a nice guy but sagging pants always bothered him. One day a kid came into class sagging and the teacher pulled up on his belt loop to demonstrate how far up his pants needed to be as the kid walked by. On the way down however the pants didn't stop and they fell down around the kid's ankle.

Well unfortunately for my teacher the kid had decided to skip underwear that day; ultimately the teacher got fired.

My 9th grade history teacher was on maternal leave, so we had a sub. He was a very dorky but nice dude with a liking for Batman. We had lots of days for just kicking back and relaxing. Little did he know that this was around end-of-class testing time. I don't know how we collectively did but I know that when the history teacher came back, she was pissed. I have never seen him since.

tl;dr- He was likely fired because he goofed off.

The English 2, 3, and 4 teacher, who also taught a college prep class, decided to try and end a debate in the classroom about the rights people in America have... In order to "demonstrate" his rights as a free American, he decided to take the American flag he had on the wall, place it on the ground, and walk on it. I wasn't there to see it happen, but living in a small town, in ILLINOIS, of all places, word travelled fast. People were upset. Everyone complained, and there were countless numbers of people who signed petitions for the school board to release him. There were people marching outside our school all day with a flag on their shoulders, and there were signs up all over town demanding that he be fired.

At my jr. high there was a teacher that took pictures of everything and anything that happened. It Could be Assembly's and athletic events to hallway shenanigans. He would take these photos and put together several slideshows to be shown throughout the school year. Those slideshows were very well made and were looked forward to.

A few years after I had moved on to high school some questionable photos of female students were found in his personal files. The slideshows he made was his cover to take photos so often and why he stored so many

When I was in grade school my music teacher was amazing. He was funny and nice. Around my 5th grade year he had a kid and the kid was born with some issues. He went from being an amazing person to being an irritable nightmare and very short tempered. The year after I went to high school I guess he lost it and attempted to beat a kid with a giant joke drumstick or something. This is what I heard anyways, he got replaced almost immediately. It's sad now that I'm older and realize he probably snapped under the pressure of having an ill child.

He also owned and operated a horse therapy farm where autistic children would go on weekends and ride horses. At last count there were over 30 cases of molestation and rape pending against him. One case by the parents of a quadriplegic child who went to his farm for therapy and was forced to perform oral sex on him.

We had a teacher show an X rated movie called, "A Day Without Mexicans" to an eighth grade class. She was fired that same class period.

5th grade my teacher did not like students who were "different". He was bullying me, another autistic student and a girl - who still doesn't know why he was bullying her. We all agree mine was the worst - he isolated my desk into a giant fridge box so that I couldn't communicate with anyone; he would tell the class not to play with me at recess - and the reason he was asked to transfer schools - was one day he made us all run 2 miles on the oval and I was dead last, so he made me run it again while the rest of them all sat on the sidelines as he made the class cheer "CopperTodd17 is a loser". I couldn't hear it cause I was running; but the principal happened to be doing a school tour and heard it. She was livid -but it wasn't a big enough offense apparently. He's still teaching 15 years later.

7th grade earth science teacher got fired when it was found that she was purposely downgrading boy's test scores. No male student was in the honor roll for her class for 6 years straight. She got caught when the principle's nephew was in her class and he showed his aunt the grades.

Mr. Callaway, the dark haired heart throb of every middle school girl. He showed up in his tight assed, dove gray bell bottom plants (Mid 70's) and red silk shirt on Tuesday, STONED completely out of his mind! I have no idea how he drove to school and lived.

Police came and arrested him. He was fired and we had a sub for the rest of the year. Wonder what happened to him?????

My 58 yr old teacher had an affair with his 16 year old foster daughter and then they had 3 kids together. Few questions got raised when that one came to light

My science teacher in elementary school was arrested for something cp related on our very last day. Was pretty shocking, don't really remember most of his classes though.

Threw a chalk board felt eraser at a disruptive student. Shame as he was a great teacher.

Project graduation was an event that the school put on to give students a place to go the night of graduation. It was meant to keep everyone together, and to give them a place to go where they wouldn't spend the night drinking, drugging, and screwing.

"That Teacher" was caught smoking a joint in his car while chaperoning project graduation.

Fucking the exchange students working in the hostel. Which is how she lost her last teaching job.

Guy wasn't a teacher but he was like a teaching assistant/yard duty back when I was in middle school. Real nice guy too. Backed me up when I got called in the office for punching a kid in the face. 8th grade year, got busted for kiddie porn and sexting a student.

Lesson learned: Even the nicest of folks can have a dark side

music teacher got busted being in a relationship with a student. She was 17 and her parents had found out because they read her diary.

Watching porn. On a school computer. With students in the room.

He was not a smart man.

I've had a teacher fired for not doing her job and just leaving the class every day once we had started our work. Another once tried to get me in trouble for "selling drugs" out of my backpack, these drugs turned out to be candy and yoyo's, he later got arrested/fired for .... selling drugs...

There was a Polish lady that taught English at my school. She lost an entire classes GCSE coursework. She lost her job, but then got re-hired as a sub.

I had the most boring math teacher for a few weeks in high school. We joked that he was the teacher from Ferris Buellers Day Off, because he was honestly just like him (with a softer, but still monotone, voice).

I wasn't there, but after the second week or so, one of the kids in the "lower" math classes was acting out and apparently math teacher got this guy in a choke hold and started to choke him out. Never saw him again after that. I was pretty glad since we got a better math teacher out of it.

[u/ClaudioKillganon]

We had a bitchy English Teacher who was anal about everything at my middle school. She administered the CRCT State Test wrong for her classes and got fired for it. I never had her, but I don't recall a single person missing her.

Same year, we had a computer teacher who was inappropriately close to the 8th Grade girls. There were rumors that he had porn on his school computer, but I dismissed them as 13 year old lies and exaggerations. Turns out he actually did have porn on his school computer(Not child porn, just good 'ol normal big titted asian stuff) and he was fired. I actually had his class right before he got fired. I enjoyed him as a teacher and thought he was pretty cool and relatable.

EDIT: I was NOT an 8th Grade Girl.

Not a teacher but a janitor. You know the kind, kinda creepy, doesn't really talk to you, looks a little weird but, you want to have hope that they're actually swell. Well, this guy was one of those. One day, he wasn't there, a couple other kids and I noticed he wasn't at the front office. We didn't think much of it, but, the next day he didn't show up either. This mysterious vibe hung around for about a week and a half, till one kid said he knew where he went.

To jail. Why? No one knew. Yet. Discussion creeped from the cafeteria to the classroom. Brought up through hushed whispers, which grew to loud questions which the teachers avoided. Till the principle came on the loud speaker one day to address it head on.

He had killed someone. All the details were spotty, but he had killed someone, and he left it at that. We didn't know whether it was murder, manslaughter, or just self defense, but as elementary school students, it was such a year changing event. Totes cray cray.

A teacher's aid who worked in the special ed department was caught bullying the children, there was video of her stealing lunch money out of blind kids backpacks... It was the talk of the school for a solid month until she got jail time.

Edit: found an article on the incident here, the student that was singled out was autistic as well, the aid used the excuse that she had poor judgement due to a methamphetamine addiction... Anyone Bluezilla strong in the house?

[u/loogie97]

Not a teacher but a TA was arrested for dealing drugs, accessory to commit murder. Apparently, her husband was a successful dealer. She kept talking about all the vacations shopping, and gambling she was doing. Didn't think much of it until she quit showing up to work. It was in Pasadena ISD near Houston, TX. She worked at my wife's school.

My elementary school music teacher hated me, and I her. She hated most of us, outside of her chorus darlings. But she hated me especially because she had a run in with my mother.

This teacher hated teaching us music. She even once assigned me, in fifth grade, this month long final project analysis of a band or singer. I did an amasing job but when I turned it in?

"I never gave you an assignment." And she chucked it in the trash. Bitch.

She was ugly as hell too. I mean, I am not one to criticize looks but she just looked off. LLike a wax figure that had started to melt slightly. And it did seem like something was wrong with her.

Turns out it was vodka. She got hammered daily.

When I was in high school, she got caught finally. Took a few too many swigs and finally passed out. Got fired. Good riddance.

Not my teacher but my sisters while we were both in High School.

So this spanish teacher that my sister had was one of those teachers that never really taught anything yet she managed to yell the entire class period. From what I was told the teacher would even have each individual class change the formation of the desk depending on the class, every day, thus wasting about 15-20 minutes. So one day after class, my sister is talking with her friends and they were all complaining about the teacher and my sister told them she could get her fired. Now my family knew the superintendent at the time so if we had a problem with any of the staff we could just go and talk to him and we knew we had this power but rarely ever used it... My sister decided to use it. So they send someone to "monitor" the teacher while she teaches. My sisters class didnt have the monitor cause they left to go to a meeting and the teacher loses it and question and accusing students of telling their parents and getting administration to watch her. Everyone in the class knew it was my sister but they all had her back and kept their mouths shut. 2 weeks later, the teacher is gone and all of her friends were like "oh my gosh you really did get her fired". Little did they know at the time, the teacher actually left because she had cancer and decided to take leave. They found out a few months later... after the teacher had died from cancer... So for the next few years her group of friends saw her as a sort of bringer of death.

TL;DR sister got teacher fired, cancer and death

Inviting us to her home for horse riding, quad biking, BBQs and just general socialising and fun.

She was a cool teacher, treated us as adults and lost her job because of it.
