Star quarterback got in a fight with the quiet kid, lost. Quiet kid shattered QB's throwing shoulder.
*Whispering* Quiet kids...are powerful for a reason, are you part of the club?

As a freshman I beat the snot out of a senior bully who made my little sister cry. I kicked out his knee and had him by the back of the head with his throat against the barbed wire fence. I hissed if he ever looked at my sister again, I'd kill him. Not only was she never messed with, but I was pretty much avoided as well. lol.

Serves him right. I hope he's somewhere selling shoes thinking about his "glory days" at Polk High.
Ten bucks says that the quiet kid was suspended or expelled for defending himself because of "zero tolerance" while the bully got sympathy cards and cookies
Because a guy rinally stood up for themself and fought back. Some jock that wanted to prove himself got taught a lesson. I was always picked on by those types of guys ever since elementary school.

This happened after I graduated, but there were rumors about it when I was still there. I thought it was just kids being a******s.Three male teachers in one year got caught doing that thing you're not supposed to do with your underage students.
One of them used the following defense: We just kissed and stuff, I waited until she was 18 to have sex with her, so I didn't break the law. The other one used *his school- issued laptop* to contact his victim and beg her not to tell the truth, because it would ruin his livelihood and his kids' lives.
During the aftermath, another teacher came into his classroom and said something to the effect of "If you're wondering why I was absent yesterday, I was being questioned by a few guys in suits." One of the kids asked why, and the teacher pointed right at the victim and said "because of her." Yeah, he pointed her out in front of everyone (supposedly no one knew which girls were involved) and got charged with witness intimidation. His lawyer told the news "hurting someone's feelings isn't a crime."
It used to be considered the "good" school district.
And people still wonder why people who are SAed don't come forward. They do, and they aren't believed, they're blamed, or they're humiliated on top of the trauma they've already endured.
I was literally just talking about this with a coworker yesterday, how victims of any gender are often ashamed and humiliated. My coworker, who is a very nice dude but doesn't understand everything, didn't believe me.
Load More Replies..."hurting someone's feelings isn't a crime." YES IT FRICKING CAN BE verbal harassment is a crime. Threats are a crime, witness intimidation is a crime. Slander is a crime. defamation is a crime. That lawyer need to go back to law school. God that story is horrible poor girl.
No, not because of her. How about because he's the adult teacher and she's a minor student legally unable to consent. Not to mention the working relationship they have could be seen as influencing her because he's not her equal rather students are basically the teacher's subordinates.
How is someone accused of statutory rape in a classroom with their victim? Where I live, as soon as you are accused, you are suspended, until you are cleared, or charged.
This happened after OP graduated but they heard rumors about it when they were still a student?! You time travelin?
It was discovered that my high school principal was having an inappropriate sexual relationship with one of the students. He was married and his son was also a student at the school which made matters way worse. The principal was arrested and released on bail, but he ended up committing suicide. It was traumatic for the students because we’d always known him as a kind man and respected principal. I felt horrible for his son, who moved away shortly thereafter to escape this nightmare. I wish it was more of a lighthearted incident.
Thank you for the reality check of historical flash back you documented here.
White tells us that negative events have the tendency to be remembered more than positive ones because of the emotion involved. "For example, if you are in a car accident, 10 years later you will be able to give all the details of the accident, from the time of day to the location, without hesitation," he says.
"But you couldn't tell me where you drove last week. Last week had no emotion or action. The car accident does. Another example of emotion impacting what we recall is that humans can get 100 positive comments about something they did, but the brain will focus on the negative because it hurts, it wounds us, and because the negative hurts us more than the positive uplifts us, we will remember it more."
13 year old classmate was secretly pregnant & had a baby in 8th grade. We all found out because the principal & vice principal came into our classroom & announced it to the entire class. They didn’t use her name, but it was pretty easy to put 2 & 2 together.
Years later I ran into the girl & we talked briefly about what had happened. She told me her mom had just about sued the daylights out of the school admin for what they had done. Never found out what stopped her from suing.
When I was in "école élémentaire" (6 yo to ~10yo in France) one of the oldest girl got pregnant (she gave birth just before her 12th birthday). It was made very public because the headmaster was bashed by the mother for warning social services and the Police even though it "wasn't his business" and "health is supposed to be secret" or something like that. She made her scene at the end of the day when all the kids are given back to their parents, so a lot of public, maybe trying to get sympathy from other parents. IDK. It didn't work very well and parents were even mad at her for having to explain the situation to their own children. Soon after that we discovered that the reason mommy was pissed is that she knew her new husband was the father and didn't want the Police to get him in jail (priorities...). He was arrested and the girl taken away from that wonderful mother.
A friend and I walked into the bathroom at school. She went into one stall and I went into the one beside. She screamed, "There's a baby in the commode!" We went immediately to the counselor to tell her. We waited in the hallway on a bench as the counselor went into the bathroom to check if that's really what my friend saw. She came back out crying. Later we watched the police carry out a small closed box with the deceased baby in it. That was in 1976. I'm 65yo now and still so thankful that I was too scared to look in that toilet. The baby was delivered by a girl in our class who came from a very poor, uneducated family. The baby's father was the girls own father.
I was at school in the 60's. A 13 year old in my class was 'going out' with a 13 year old boy. All through the summer she got fatter and fatter, and then left just before the summer exams. It was only later that we actually *realised*. Sweet summer children.
I knew someone that had a baby in middle school to. And it was also the 8th grade. It was kind of sad really cause she was so young. And she didn't have anyone. She was already living with different people and everything. And she was so young.
Bear with me, this is a long story. So I went to a charter school that would add on a grade of high school with every school years. When it opened I was in 6th grade. So when I was in 8th grade, a rumor was spread like a so quickly. The rumor was that a 7th grader did the deed with a 10th grader. It turned out to be true. Their punishment was only a few days of out of school suspension. I for sure thought that they were expelled. Nevertheless, their lives were ruined for that.
Probably couldn't afford a lawyer. Even if it is an open and shut case, lawyers still going to require a retainer. Plus at 13, very young, likely an investigation by CPS may have occurred.
Explain this one before but f**k it... Holiday season of 2003 Someone hacked into the intercom and played p*rn parodies version of Christmas tunes. It caused a lot of students to be sent to the nurse's office, mostly for breathing problems from laughing hard. It turned out, it was rather easy to due into the intercom system because of the wiring system was a standard phonelines. Me and a couple of mates found who was the ring leader, but we didn't snitch because we thought it was one of the funniest things we had to handle. That ring leader now works for some IT company and saw an increase in demands during COVID.
Never heard of anyone having to go to the nurse's from laughing too hard.
This one sounds like someone trying to make up a ridiculous story, because they don't have an actual story, and they lost their train of thought, multiple times. Most of the "details" don't flow, whatsoever.
I want to know how MULTIPLE kids went to the nurse from laughing too hard. One kid with asthma I can see, but a LOT?
"Lacy things, the wife is missing....didn't ask for her permission...I am wearing her clothes, silk pantyhose. Walking around in women's underwear 🩲"

Kid took acid at a pink floyd show and jumped into a lake. In winter. Died of hypothermia.
Suddenly every girl pretended he was their ex to ride the sympathy train, and all the papers said he was a good kid with straight A's who never did d***s before....but the truth was he was about to flunk out, and nobody ever talked to him except to buy the d***s he was dealing.
Showed me that people prefer a story over the truth
Friend of a friend - their son was similar. When he unalived himself in a car crash, his mom wrote in the obituary that his hobbies were botany and chemistry. Ok, that was technically true....
Load More Replies...When a peer at school dies it is usually the first real life encounter with mortality and death for the other students. This is a huge shock for most. Hence the tears, etc. There is nothing phony about the dismay and angst, even if most of them didn't know the deceased all that well.
This. And, nobody wants to bad-mouth the dead person, so everything they did gets gold-leafed.

She lied and said yes, a lot of girls from our town slept with him. Our school was hounded by cops and reporters for days over it. Made headlines, but she was lying.
If you want to have people say nice things about you, I guess you have to die.

White tells us that there are no particular negative events that get stuck in our memories longer than others. "Any event that gets your emotion will be encoded more. Negative events capture our attention because they shock us. Attention is the first step in memory. The last step of memory is review, and if something negative happens to us or is said to us, we will tell that story over and over. This review locks it into our memory!! Be careful what you give your attention to!"
3 HS seniors broke in one night and trashed the resource officers office. A photo of the officers recently deceased son was the main thing destroyed. Students and staff all loved the officer, everyone was upset/devastated. The 3 kids weren't allowed to attend Graduation.
They were allowed to graduate?!?! They should have been expelled.
Group of boys were bullying a kid at the bathrooms and actually drowned him on a toilet, that was horrible.
Apparently, a LOT of kids die this way. If not immediately drowning, then from breathing bacteria into their lungs. Thanks Hollywood for normalizing an act that often ends in death!

Chronically bullied kid shot himself in the head after pointing the gun at one of his bullies. Happened while I was at lunch one day. A crowd of screaming students came running into the cafeteria all of a sudden and one of my friends that had been down the hall from it, sat there panicking and hyper ventilating and told me what had just happened. We got released early that day and it was all over the news the next day. His name was Brian Head btw. Poor kid. Back then school shootings weren't really a common news occurrence.
Poor kid. Hope the bullies got in trouble for pushing him to the edge
I hope the teachers got in trouble for not doing anything.

That said, remembering unfortunate incidents can be beneficial to humans. For example, "Our ancestors saw one of their group eaten by a lion. They remember how they escaped or what to avoid. Put your hand on a hot stove. You may do it once, but your memory will prevent you from doing it twice," White explains.
"Remembering negative experiences can save you. You fall victim to a con, and it robs your bank account, and your memory remembers it. The next time you don't fall victim. Our memories will remember negative experiences as a form of protection!"

Class of 1962. One of my classmates senior year was taking flying lessons. Took off on a solo, disappeared. No trace since then. He was a nice, smart person.
Kid at our flying school lied about his fits, got through training, was doing his second qualifying solo and (presumably) had a fit at the controls. He did not survive the 'landing'.
Someone kept calling in bomb threats every single day when I was in high school. It turned out to be one of the teachers who worked with the mentally handicapped kids at the elementary school. The police caught her because she kept dialing in the threat from the same phone booth.
You know, many years ago, we had a lot of bomb threats called in, in a fairly rural school! I remember standing outside for quite a long time in the cold, without a jacket, as we were immediately ushered outside! Crazy!
Why judge a whole profession of of one person's actions? Would you do the same thing with any other attribute? For example, "Who said women were smart". See how you can't apply one person's folly to a whole group of people?

Every year the graduating class did some kind of prank. At the end of the school year. One year they build a maze you had to walk through to he into the school and all dressed up funny and did jump scares. Stuff like that. Then one year one class deciced it would be funny to spray kids with water pistols. Not that funny to sit in class soaked but okay. Year after that they apparently thought we can do better and not only used water pistols but again build a big entryway with plastic walls. And they, out of sight of the teachers. Dumped flour on all the already wet students. Some also brought eggs and the whole thing turned into a massive fight. Other schools got wind and came down to fight. Police had to break it up. That class ruined last day of school for many years to come. Of all the schools, no one expected the wizzkids school to be the one to ruin it lol.
Water guns would be fun, but give the other kids some water guns to. Now its a free for all
Senior prank day at my high school was banned after the year ahead of mine somehow got hold of a ship's flare and set it off in the toilet block.
The year before my finales, they built a maze too and also used water guns. The water guns were filled with beer and the school smelled horrible. The teachers tried to stop it, but in my country they have absolutely no way to punish students post finales, so all the teachers achieved was to get even more soaked than anyone else. The students of another school in my hometown completely dismantled their director's car.
Some students put my old high school up for sale on Craigslist. The principal even put a bid in for it
Ha - daughter's leaving prank : her year changed all the road signs and put in a diversion all the way through the school grounds. Another (when a teacher) the leaving class (quite a few farm kids) hid chickens in the chapel as the leaving ceremony commenced...
Dang. Our class did dunk tanks and smashing teachers in the face with pie tins of cool whip (they agreed to it). Pretty low key stuff.
Where do you live that separate schools not only heard about the prank while it was going on, but also "came down to fight" that's insane
A girl who had been out of school for a couple of years due to medical issues came back for senior year at 19, and got together with a teacher. Teacher was pretty young, like fresh out of his degree and was a long term sub for someone who had a baby.
It wasn’t illegal, and they were “age appropriate” for each other, but it was obviously a massive ethics violation and he was let go.
Abusing your position of power should always be unethical, but no, people just accept it
Its a separate (worse) offence in UK, abuse in a position of trust
Load More Replies...Yea there was a girl in my secondary school that clearly liked one of the young PE teachers. As soon as she left school they officially got together and they are still together and have kids. I’m sure there was something brewing between them while she was still attending school but no one said anything out loud.
In some states, this would have been illegal despite the student being 19.
It is in Australia. Teacher would still be fired, have teaching registration stripped and be charged.

Back in the late 90s I was supposed to go to this one particular high school that was notoriously bad for various reasons. My mom did not want me to go there and put me in the lottery for a better school. Luckily, I "won" or whatever and went to the better school. Not long after I started my freshman year, some poor kid got m*rdered at the high school I was originally supposed to attend. He was bludgeoned to death and they never found out who did it.
Girl at my school got arrested for m*rdering her mom. Reporters were all over the school trying to get info on her.
usually this goes without saying, but do not let your intrusive thoughts win people.

A kid held a pencil straight up on another kid's chair when he was standing up and not looking. When he sat down it went through his pants and directly into his a*****e. He had to go to the hospital.

Load More Replies...The kid who did that was a right pain in the a r s e... literally after that I guess...
Just for hurting someone bad enough that they went to hospital? Wouldn’t bet on it.
Load More Replies...I did the same to a kid in junior high school. I had no idea that when he sat he would drop with all his weight ! Pencil snapped, the point was stuck in one butt cheek. He was shouting, holding his butt and danced around. No one saw me do it so I was able to get away with it. We were pretty good friends back then so even if he knew he wouldn’t have told on me!
Why would you expect he WOULDN'T sit down with all his weight? Who sits down slowly/carefully enough to notice a pencil before it causes damage? It seems to me that you did know he would sit down like a normal person, especially considering that you find his pain and injury so hilarious.
Load More Replies...So, technically this is se#ual assault, Kid should be charged and have major consequences
This is why children have to be taught 'pranks' aren't funny. It will always escalate and someone will end up hurt.
There was a history/theater teacher who was very well liked. Girl wasn't happy that he gave her a bad grade or a detention or something (this was years ago so my memory is foggy), so she falsely accused him of r*pe. He lost his job, his wife left him, totally ruined his life. This girl's brother was valedictorian a couple years prior, so everyone believed her. This went on for about a year or so before the girl graduated, admitted it was a false accusation, then moved across the country and deleted all her social media accounts. Nobody knows what happened to the teacher, but it's widely believed that he may have k*lled himself.
Yeah! People who do this s**t should be arrested and the punishment like as if the accused crime they commited, they did.
Load More Replies...They also reinforce prejudices against REAL victims of SA and rape, who try to report the crimes and end up ridiculed, humiliated, and not believed—-to the point where some get charged with making a false report—-which only allows the perpetrators to remain free to do it to someone else, while their victims continue to suffer.
Load More Replies...This reminds me of the lacrosse scandal at Duke where 3 of the players were accused of rape by a stripper. Except it turned out much differently. The guys were found innocent and ended up suing the school for a couple million each and won. The girl’s lawyer was reprimanded for basically lying his a*s of in court. I don’t think she was ever charged with anything. I think if you knowingly falsely accuse someone of something like that you should have major consequences.
That stripper "Crystal Mangum" is now doing time for murder
Load More Replies...You have to be another level of s****y to falsely make that kind of accusation. Not only did you ruin an innocent person's life, you're making it harder for ACTUAL victims to be believed. And the extra s****y thing is the ones who are lying are nearly always believed without question because they act how a victim is "supposed" to act, whereas the reality is actual victims all have their own unique trauma response and don't always act how they're "supposed to". Tl;Dr f**k this b***h. She deserves to rot in hell
Worked for a school district where this happened. When the evidence is super thin, the teacher is moved to a different age group school (actual pedos tend to have a narrow age focus prepubescent, while hebephiles are looking for sexually active teens to groom). Any case with any documented evidence is permanent administrative leave away from children. The sad truth is false accusations are more common than you would think.
Is there punition for false SA accusations? Both the accuser and the lazy investigator(s)?
Making a deliberfately false police report can have criminal penalties. A deliberately false prosectution can have civil ones.

One high school had a classmate took his desk outdoors on a beautiful spring day to finish his English test. It really made the entire class jealous & the teacher allowed it because he just wanted it to be his legacy!
My high-school actually allowed outdoor learning quite a bit. It was an old building without AC and terrible ventilation. It could get dangerously hot in the final days before summer break. The school was right beside a large park so whole classes would go out and take lecture "en plein air", as the French teacher would call it.
I had a few teachers who would have done the same! The teachers that ordered pizza for us at the end of term too.
On nice days sometimes we would actually sit outside to do our classwork, so can confirm this is a wonderful "scandal".
Someone took a s**t in a drinking fountain, security cameras were shortly doubled.
I have so many questions. Did the s**t crumble down and fall down the drain? Did it not? How did he wipe his a*s? Did he wash his hands? Was he expelled? When? Who? How? Why TF did he take a s**t int he drinking foutain in the first place?
Riot.
There was a vacant lot across the street from my high school that was used as an unofficial parking lot by the students. It being the 70s, many students would toke up before class. That evolved into people dealing.
One morning, the police descended on the place in force - surrounded the field, helicopter, etc. Some of the students fought back throwing rocks and bottles. Tear gas was deployed.
End result was one guy (who I don't think was a student) being charged with riot, many people popped for possession, and a destroyed police car.
Samee thing happened at my school in 9th grade, but to a lesser degree. Three patrol cars pulled where we smoked cigarettes every morning. The search they did was totally illegal and they never found anything, but it was quite memorable.
Interesting thing about my high school- it was an experimental one so some of the teachers were still radicalized. My parents wouldn't let me go on this one field trip- it was to go protest the Bangor WA. Trident submarine base (1980 or '81) and my senior class president was the main stoner, but he did a good job.
So my freshman year our principal got caught sleeping with a junior in his office. Then my senior year the resource officer got caught sleeping with multiple students in his office.

There was a "tradition" in my high school football team where promising freshmen were chased down, held down, and had a senior's balls rubbed on their forehead. I have no idea why this was a thing, but it happened every year until they got caught.
We sort of had the same thing at my English boarding school back in the '70's following Rugby practice, until they picked on the wrong chap who, once released from being held down, kicked one of the guys so hard in his nuts that he had to had to have a b*****k removed, and, as we found out later, came close to having his penis removed as the chap who'd been assaulted didn't just kick him once, but kept stamping with his rugby boots on. That was a happy day for me.
As long as they cleaned the balls before giving them back to the senior.
The incident that shook our school to its core happened during our annual talent show. As the curtains drew back for the first act, there was a sudden power outage, plunging the auditorium into darkness. Amidst the confusion, someone yelled "fire!" and pandemonium ensued. Students scrambled for the exits, tripping over each other in their frantic attempt to escape. It turned out to be a false alarm, but the chaos left a lasting impact on everyone. The incident prompted a thorough review of our emergency protocols and sparked discussions about safety measures. It taught us the importance of staying calm in emergencies and the need for better preparedness.
The basketball coach at my school, who was also an alumnus of one of the first graduating classes in the 1970s, groomed and sexually abused multiple female students in the late 1990s. Several women came forward in 2020 to the local paper after looking him up online and seeing that he'd been fired from a Catholic school near Atlanta for sending inappropriate messages to students. He had a LinkedIn profile listing him as the executive director of an organization for adolescent mental health.
He left my school very abruptly over the summer in 2000, and the rumor was he'd gotten a girl in my class pregnant. We were freshmen. I had health class with him and remember he was obsessed with Freud.
Our math teacher got arrested in the middle of the school day. Detectives walking around the halls, tape, and everything while we went about our day. He was convicted of r*pe or something.
Almost certainly. Do you know how hard it is to convict people of rape?

Dude… those things get crazy sharp if you just lick them instead of biting.
I..... may have done this to someone when I was seven. By accident, of course, as they jerked their arm towards it while I was lightly poking them with it, and they only got a bit scratched, but every time I see that person I apologize
shanked; shanking; shanks transitive verb : to hit (a golf ball or shot) with the extreme heel of the club so that the ball goes off in an unintended direction also : to kick (a football) in an unintended direction- Merrian Webster
Shank is slang for a home made knife in prison, so I'm guessing stab is the idea here
Load More Replies...A freshman science teacher was notorious during my time at school for being weird with girls in his classes and always bragging about being able to manufacture cocaine because his college professor taught him. Two or three years ago he k**led himself outside of the school in his car because several former students of his, and many of his students at the time, were coming forward with proof of him being inappropriate or even outright sexual with them. He had just gotten married and had a two year old daughter. Good riddance.
It seems that pedos become priests or seek jobs with children involved. I wander if there is any kind of psychological or other test for them to be detected before getting the job.
The guy who got a B on a test and started pounding his head on the concrete wall like those zombies from the Will Smith movie.
I can only imagine just how much pressure his parents had put on him to have perfect grades for him to react like that to getting a B. Parents, encourage your kids of course, but do not pressure them to the point where they have extreme reactions like this to what anyone else would think is a decent grade, ffs.
One of the floor facilitators at my school made the local news for soliciting with an undercover cop thinking he was a gay prostitute. They announced his retirement on the announcements the next day and the entire school teachers included erupted with laughter.
I was a teacher almost my whole career, and I have never heard the term "floor facilitator". What is it?
Hijacked the private bus and rammed it into a house.
Was a weird kid that got rejected after asking someone out like 5 times, proceeded to chase kids round with a plastic fork.
Hey I scratched my husband with a plastic knife. I did warn him first though, he kept reaching for food off my plate.

The great skunk of 2018. Longs story short, middle school, dead skunk under industrial shipping container where we store equipment, improper disposal of said skunk, found in trash can by the track by some middle schoolers, bag is torn open by said middle schoolers and thrown into the track. I was present and everyone in the immediate 10 ft vicinity of the bag threw up or severely gagged (including me) and the entire school smelled of dead skunk because of course it sticks to clothes. Still smells to this day
In high school a few guys k**led a racoon then got the bright idea to cut it half and put the waist up half in one of their parents' freezer. After it was good and frozen they brought it to school and put it in the lobby trophy case. It looked pretty cool until it thawed out and the guts started oozing out.
Cruelty to animals. I can't see any situation where that would be a good thing.
Valley Center Kansas baseball team including the coaching staff sacrificed a chicken on school property before an away game. This happened last week and their season has been cancelled. You can Google it, all over the news in Wichita Kansas.
In 9th grade we had a pep rally turn into a riot and the police had to literally bring in the Calvary to disperse the crowds. The school banned pep rallies indefinitely... They were still banned when I graduated.
Two kids that had a feud over some girl. One kid found the others’ backpack in the hall unattended, took it to the bathroom, s**t in it, and then put it back.
I said it once and I'll say it again: Did he atleast wipe his but and wash his hands
There’s a chance; he went to the bathroom to do it, after all

In middle school this girl who was a grade above me started acting kinda obsessive about this one teacher. This continued into high school, as this specific teacher taught at both schools depending on the day. This teacher also showed a lot of favoritism, and she was one of those students that he gave special treatment. The entire school picked up on this and started making jokes that they were secretly dating. After she graduated and he retired, a couple people who were close with her started telling people that they actually had been secretly dating, and she had even stayed at his house a couple times when his wife was out of town. The teacher moved away and the girl kinda vanished, so nobody could ever ask her personally if it was true, but I’d be shocked to find out if it wasn’t.
University, not high school.
My History class did an annual three-day field trip to London for a first-year module. An urban legend was spread around about a student who got so drunk on absinthe that he wrote drunken messages in his own s**t all over the bathroom walls and mirror. The smell of his excrement and the commotion woke up the entire hostel at 4AM and nearly got our entire university barred.
Fast-forward a few years, I start working in a call centre and find out one of the supervisors not only went to my university but also studied History five years prior, went on the same field trip and stayed in the same hostel as I did.
He was in the same dorm as the drunken student and remembered his lecturer waking him up in the early hours...
He literally just said he was drunk on absinthe, lol

Freshmen and sophmore years we had race riots. Multiple trashcans were on fire, walking around campus felt like we had an ongoing MMA clinic. All the kids that were taking part were like 30 years old and definitely didnt even go to the school. Junior year a random d**g dealer ( who also didn't attend the school ) got thrown off the second story balcony onto a lawn area by a dude who was essentially the school candy dealer but had a soft spot for the spanish teacher that kicked the druggy kid out.
My high school used to have a mathematics teacher who was excellent at explaining, but had significant mental health issues. For a while, he was under control with his medications, but then, he stopped taking them. During a staff meeting, the principal observed the teacher acting in an unusual manner, so she put him on administrative leave, to be replaced by a substitute. A month and a half later, the teacher wanted to return to school, so attended another meeting with the principal. This time, the teacher threatened to k*ll the principal (*in response to her taking away his job*). After the meeting ended, the teacher tried to return to his old classroom, and students heard him using profanity, taking items off the wall, and acting irrationally. The principal put the entire school under a lockdown until the police arrived. The police then escorted the teacher off the school campus, and put him in jail. Once the teacher was safely away from the campus, the lockdown ended. At the time, I was in a science class (*just one floor below the incident!*), so had not heard about any of this until the lockdown started. That was a scary day.
Might mean lockup until they could find a mental hospital or wing to take him.

Our principal had an affair with an English teacher that ended up being outed on social media, only for everyone to learn the principal had done the same at 3 different school districts.
I don't understand what the problem is here. Aren't consenting adults allowed to date?
The word "affair" implies at least one of them was married. Otherwise, no one would care, I agree.
Load More Replies...There were multiple that I can remember. - 3 weeks into my sophomore year of high school, someone had posted a shooting threat online, saying that they were tired of being bullied and that at the end of the day, they would start shooting before killing themselves. Everyone was scared sh**less and most people went home early. But later on, we found out that the threat was actually fake, so we could return the next day. The student was caught and was facing a felony. Don't know what happened to them since. - A senior basketball player was shot dead after school a couple of months after the shooting threat. Many people in the community paid tribute to him, and suspects were arrested. - In my junior year, someone called in a bombing threat. Students had to be evacuated out of the building and into the football field before being sent home. That turned out to be fake as well. What pisses me off is that our whole day got wasted, and some of us had forgotten our stuff. And the worst part is that it happened again a few days later.
I feel like bomb threats were a thing when I was in HS. I remember having to evacuate a couple times every year, but they were always just “threats”.
Same, and this was back in the seventies. At least they always had the decency to call them in before school started, so we weren’t locked down on campus. We just enjoyed the day off. No internet back then, so no online classes.

We had bomb threats every other day and a teacher fell in the lunch room hit her nose and had blood all over the place.
Elementary school? Smoke bombs? Parent with gun? Bomb threats? Sheesh ...
Group of kids jacked off on a pizza and then gave it to another kid who didn’t know about it and ate it.
I'm 50 in, and what are y'all doing. Some of it is HILARIOUS, like this, others are downright wrong
"Special sauce". There was a dude working in a pizzeria here in Sweden that was caught doing that. Yes, there was a lot of jokes about the "very special kebab sauce".
We had a gang fight. Went on lockdown.
Someone pooped without flushing the day before summer break and locked the door from the outside.
Imagine the flies gathering around it and the horror of the person that unlocked the door and saw it
Someone shot a staple with a rubber band and it ended up hitting another kid in the eye. Another time in High school a girl sent another guy a nude and he of course told his friends which got the word out and there was a whole big legal battle.
There's no good ending to "kids, nude pix, legal battle". A forest of fingers pointing, blame game for all, those who scream loudest win
There was my class's senior prank. Our school had two activity busses used for driving our athletic teams to their events. Some genius stole them, parked them in the school courtyard next to each other, and then put sugar in the engine writing off the busses. In response our school cancelled all activities using the bus. You should've seen the band kids after the announcement... They were wailing in the courtyard like Nancy Kerrigan after her attack.
Punish everyone for the activities of one - a great lesson ... but why write off the busses when it's only the engine that's broken?
Sugar won't hurt combustion engines - it's a hydrocarbon, and burns fine. We think of it as a carbohydrate, but it's the same - It's got available carbon and hydrogen able to combine with oxygen in the atmosphere.
My year at school managed to hoist the deputy head's 1925 Rolls Royce onto the gym roof.... after 2 nights they brought it down again - no damage.
Iirc sugar dissolves in petrol, gets through the filters (which only remove particulates) and wrecks the engine when its burnt

We had a least one girl from the 4th form(late 1970s England, so about 14 years old) have an abortion. And we had a biology teacher ( late 20 years old, have an affair with a 17 year old student. He got fired and they moved away together. Last we all heard was she was pregnant and they were getting married
This trend should be captioned "riots, lots of sh!t and WTF with those pedos?"
I mean, it's not really a schandal because everyone knew about it, but a teacher in my school started a relationship with a student (officially when she turned 18), he was abou 30 at that time. Her father also was a teacher at that school and was totally cool with the whole situation. They are happily married know for about 20 years.
Headteacher got fired for hitting a kid who then stumbled backwards and knocked themselves out on a doorframe. This was primary school the kid was maybe 8. Also in primary school a student SA'd another student. They were both about 6 and he did it with the full knowledge of what he was doing which was disturbing
A girl in my grade was caught having a relationship with her private badminton coach (Not related to our school). He was between 25-40 years old. We were in 7th grade…. She was a talented kid from a highly respected family. Her parents tried so hard to keep the story hush-hush but it didn’t stop the gossip spreading like wildfire at our school. After all she used some of our classmates phones to contact him during school hours because she wasn’t given her own phone at that age. Then there was another girl in my sister’s grade who got pregnant when they were in the 8th or 9th grade. She stopped schooling altogether. I see her on social media now and she appears be doing quite well with the kid.
My Sophomore year of HS was the worst year. We started with a classmate bringing a shotgun to school and having a stand-off with the police, ending in his death. He was a good quiet kid that we'd all known since grade school, so it was very sad, this being mid eighties, long before school shootings were "a thing". Then on January 28th of that same school year (Which happened to be my 16th birthday) we lost a teacher of ours who was chosen to go to space on the Space Shuttle Challenger, and we all watched it live on TV at school. RIP Louis and Christa.
Two guys in my class got mad at each other for whatever reason and started fighting in the middle of class. We were on the 2nd floor of the building and the windows were wide open. They were punching each other, throwing tables, etc... I guess they didn't realized the windows were opened so when one of them got pushed a little to hard he wasn't expecting it. Almost his entire body was out the window, the only reason he didn't fall was because a kid that was sitting right next to the window was able to grab his ankle in time and hold on to him long enough for other people to pull him back in. I'm pretty sure he would have died if had fallen onto the concrete down below. He was a close friend of mine at the time so I almost had heart attack watching the entire thing happen. They were both suspended for two weeks. Also d***s, police searches, a few gang problems, and one kid that committed murder and was then killed in prison.
We had a number of crazy things happen at my school, but the most unique thing was my junior year my AP Language and Composition teacher got called into the US Army. He was on Reserve and apparently was in a big deal position. He couldn't really tell us where he was going or what he was doing, but the rumor was he was the personal assistant for the new General at the time, General Petraeus, who oversaw the US operation in Iraq beginning around 2008. He was one of the best teachers I ever had, and his long-term sub sucked, so we were all bummed and almost no one took the AP test as a result.
I did some digging....and oh my god I found him. Don't think the rumors were true but this man is a hell of an English teacher. https://dod.defense.gov/OIR/gallery/igphoto/2001873909/
