Their stories absolutely blew me away. Here’s what they had to say:

3. “They were fired for throwing themselves out of the cafeteria cash register.”

4. “He was my first year philosophy teacher. He planned a ‘study group’ to run before the exam. We all showed up. The teacher and a female student did not show up. The next day in class, he joked that he had a “private study session” with her. Fast forward a few weeks and they got married in the school chapel and joined the Navy.”

7. “The teacher made bongs in the art room and sold them to the students. She got busted for leaving one in the annealer overnight, and the principal came into the art room early and was curious why the annealer was on when they weren’t making art glass at the time.”

8. “In 8th grade, my English teacher had to teach us an undergraduate life skills class. He decided, and as high schoolers, we happily obliged him to blow it and show us. Top Gear resume during those classes. When it came to homework, he just copied our English class notes and tweaked them by a few percent to make it look legit. The easiest class ever, until the principal walked into the classroom one day and caught him red-handed. It disappeared the next day.”

9. “Chemistry teacher fired for blowing up school pool with piece of magnesium.”

11. “She was the worst teacher I ever had. She knew nothing about the material, allowed open cheating during exams, and was negligent in supervising the (chemistry) labs to the point where it could be criminal. A classmate got a slight acid burn on her face and filled the classroom with fumes and didn’t even react until half the class never told her she was gone.

12. “He was starving horses of all things. He was charged with animal cruelty. He was fired shortly thereafter.”

14. “I had a kid in one of my classes who had a medical condition where he couldn’t hold it if he had to urinate. He had to get to the bathroom right away. All the teachers knew. He had special permission to leave class to go whenever he needed to. One teacher made him wait and wet himself in class. He had to block off the classroom so the custodial staff couldn’t sanitize his entire seat and basically sanitized the entire chair back until she was fired.

15. “He was really the sweetest guy and we all loved him. He was never inappropriate, but he was able to build a relationship with us like no other. My friend’s house had been robbed and this teacher knew we were smoking cigarettes and he knew my mate needed to calm down. The teacher said to me, ‘Take him for a smoke’ and come back. Another teacher overheard and was initially suspended and eventually fired.”

16. “Apparently he had cocaine, a fifth of vodka and a handgun in his office at all times. He was a high school teacher.”

17. And finally, “He was the principal of the high school. He was fired after it was discovered that he had hatched a plot to kill the superintendent. He was found with a rifle in his vehicle and rumor has it that he procured cyanide.”
