It seems like every school has at least a few of those stories about that one teacher who happened to get fired from their job for a straight-up wild reason. From comical and seemingly innocent ones, to incidents that are pretty much objectively shocking and almost hard to believe—school halls have seen it all.

Considering that, no wonder this Reddit thread that started with the user u/MrDev16 asking the community "why did that teacher get fired from your school?" quickly went viral and gathered thousands of responses. With that being said, Bored Panda is inviting you to read through the list compiled of the craziest and most interesting teacher-getting-fired stories we found in this viral thread. As always, feel free to share your own stories down in the comment section.

Our beloved teacher, Mr Maune, had worked there for 29 years without incident and was one of the best teachers there. His classroom was always a laugh riot. He was the best roaster and encourages us to roast him properly. He never failed to get us motivated and a lot of us owe our career inspiration from him. He was fired because he had jokingly smacked a student on the back of his head for making a stupid comment. It was like something out of a sitcom and all of us expected it and loved it. Yet one student, who was new at the school, was culture shocked by this. He thought it was strange but hilarious. He told his mom off handedly and his mom became the Karen. Nevermind that the student was the teacher's godson, no physical contact was allowed says the Karen. He was suspended with pay for 3 months pending investigation then was let go because the Karen twisted the story and it blew up around the school. A year later, teacher won both the lawsuit against the school and libel case against the Karen with her son being one of the key witnesses. We still keep in contact and roast him for getting rich over smacking kids around.

When I was in school, our teachers once smacked one of the boys for bothering his classmates This boy went to principal and complained about it. Principal went to our class and asked him: So how did teached hit you? Like this? (smacked boy lightly) Or like this? (smacked him a little harder).

Sounds like another excellent teacher out of circulation. Just think of how many other young people he could have had a positive impact on. All because of a Karen.

    Wasn't it somewhat manic after 9/11? Weren't communications down and weren't first responders under immense pressure? I don't know, I feel like if they didn't let the school know they wouldn't be in this is a situation in which it would be excusable.

    Yeah, this seems like we are missing part of the story. Honestly , anyone who didn't show up to work , or call with a reason as to why they aren't there would normally be fired . I'm sure she was busy helping to save lives , and bless her for that ... but you can't abandon a job to do another without working something out with your employer .

    That's the stuff of which "call the local and cable news networks and every newspaper in town (of which most of them are national), very long petition signing and we're delivering it to the local and state school boards because everyone's joining together in a great big protest including picketting the school in support of said teacher" is made.

    They found out he was gay. He was a chaperone for the 8th grade east coast trip, and parents of boys got all up in arms that he had access to their hotel rooms. No student has ever accused him of anything inappropriate.

    It is; but, presuming this in the US, until recently it was perfectly legal in 20+ to fire someone for being Gay (or in a gay relationship) 30+ for being transgender. A SCOTUS case made that sort of job discrimination illegal, but it’s only been within the last year or so.

    My female PE teacher at my Catholic school was the most pervy gross person I have ever met. She used to stand by the showers to 'make sure we cleaned ourselves properly' she paid particular attention to us red heads, really concerned that we lathered up. Hmmm maybe she was very concerned about hygiene 🤔 I doubt it though...

    My teacher didn't get fired, but probably should have - except I never reported her. It was gym class and we had swimming once a week. I had a note from my doc stating I shouldn't get in the pool because of health issues. My teacher didn't care, she still made me change into the swimming suit every single time, and insisted I at least sit at the edge of the pool and get my feet wet. I think she was trying to determine for herself if I really had health issues and whether they were bad enough or not. Teachers were allowed to give us written assignments instead but she refused to give them to me (though she did with other kids she favored). Then one day, she probably just about had it with all of us and as I was sitting at the edge of the pool, she walked past and just pushed me in! Didn't say anything, just did it and kept going. No one laughed (as I thought they would) and instead got really quiet and stared at her. She just snapped her fingers and told everyone to get back to it.

    My daughter's math teacher demonstrated 'inversion' by picking her up by the ankles and holding her upside down with her legs apart (thankfully she was wearing jeans). I went nuts and I am not a Karen. This teacher also screened the class by telling them dirty jokes and the ones who responded were then invited to an overnight camping "field trip." Shortly afterward he was arrested while photographing minor boys in his home. This guy had been in trouble before but quit his former teaching job before they could fire him, so it wasn't on his record . Now I hope he is a registered sex offender.

    Our new band teacher was a young guy, fresh out of college. His first year teaching and he embezzled about a thousand dollars from the band’s funds. He got arrested and his possible future career ruined for a thousand bucks. Edit: Probably my favorite part of the story was that he went by the name Mr. E. So once he was gone, the ruthless band kids referred to him as Mr. Embezzlement.

    A co-worker teacher got fired two weeks in the new semester, when instead of uploading a video related to his subject, he instead accidentally continued a previously paused hardcore lesbian scene on the big interactive screen. The computer he was using was slow and crappytoo so he couldn't quickly exit the video. It went on for a good 30 seconds before someone pulled the plug on the screen around the same time he lobbed the laptop about 30 feet across the class.

    Kindergarden teacher would dig furrows into kids arms with her long, sharp nails by basically holding their arms real tightly. She did this if she caught them misbehaving during recess. It happened to me when I was running when I shouldn't have, I think ( this was nearly 40 years ago). I showed the principle my arm as he was walking out one day and she was fired on the spot. I think I was 4 at the time and didn't realize exactly what I did at the time.

    We had corporal punishment at my school...I was caned several times and made to do cross country running in my underwear...never really thought anything of it at the time...most of the male teachers were utter bastards who just loved to bully kids. It's only when you become an adult you realise that it's not ok...don't think it did me lasting damage though .

    Ouch... Miss Trunchbull. I've heard there was a teacher at my secondary school long before I went who used to hang girls from their blazers on the coat hooks if they misbehaved in his science lessons. I've heard it from several women who went to the school at the time he was there, some part of me hopes it is an urban legend though.

    If being weird is a firing offence, my school would have been very tumbleweed-y... Our French/History teacher was excellent at his job, but also believed in aliens, unicorns, and his personal power of curing sickness by laying on hands, plus various adjacent beliefs. Nobody thought school would be better off without him.

    Once had a teacher who got fired because she showed us a banned movie (some radical political film). Thing is, she was given a warning first and she went and showed it to us the very next day, so needless to say, she never came back.

His wife remarried and had another kid. The girl who lied came forward after and said she lied but it was to late he remained fired life ruined, she and her father transfered and moved out of town.

He even did some time in prison because the student (or fellow teacher, I can't remember) claimed rape. He was completely cleared of the crime and the alledged victim convicted, but died of a heart attack in his 40s.

    Man do I got a story for this one. I apologize for the length but its worth a read. So I got a job as a PE teacher/coach at a K-12 school. It was the beginning of my second year and rumors were going around about a teacher having a relationship with a student. I just thought it was a rumor and moved on. A few days later we have a cross country meet and i have to get to the school at 5:30 am to leave for the meet. I noticed another car in the parking lot, which was gated closed, and no one around. This has never happened so I called one of the other coaches and he was not sure and found it strange. I dont think much of it and go about my day. We get back from the meet around noon and the car is still there. Turns out it is one of the high school teachers car that was left from the day before. I thought it was car troubles and decided to not think much of it. I arrive back to school on Monday and boy howdy did sh*t hit fan. The car was left at over the weekend not because of car troubles but much. Much. MUCH worse reasons. The car was left over the entire 48 hour weekend because the teacher who owned the car had a mental breakdown in class, couldn't control it and had his sister, who also worked at the school, take him home. He had a breakdown because his gf broke up with him. His gf... was HIS STUDENT. So once the story was confirmed the police came and searched his classroom. His classroom had empty liquor bottles in the desk and his room was a mess. The teacher was fired and that was the last I heard of him. However, the story doesn't end there folks. Because the sister of the convicted teacher was behind everything. Helped them arrange dates, meet ups, and covered for him to keep the story hidden. She was fired a week later. I left the education world after that semester and never looked back.

    I walked in on two teachers in my first year of secondary school. But was so embarrassed I didn’t say anything to anyone! The awful thing was there were rumours all over the school about the affair, that obviously confirmed it to me. We come back from summer holiday, six or seven weeks later, the female teacher had gotten MARRIED to someone else and announced they were pregnant! The male teacher abrubtly quit and moved abroad. Turns out they’d been having an affair for about two years, he didn’t know she was living with someone else and none of the other staff knew she even had a boyfriend/fiancé. We never found out who the father was. Poor blokes, the male teacher I mean and this female teachers husband :(

One day, the English teacher went into the chemistry storage which was righ next to our classroom. We didn't think much about it, but fifteen minutes later, our chemistry teacher followed after her. And then, for some reason, our English teacher just didn't show up to teach class.

    My sociology teacher in high school was fired for throwing an chalkboard eraser at a sleeping students head. He was a great teacher, and always did this in good humor. Obviously not a great idea in retrospect, but we all knew that we could get away with sleeping in his class if we didn't mind getting an eraser upside the head if he noticed. I heard he was fired a few years after I graduated high school, and that kinda bummed me out. Probably deserving of a reprimand of some sort, but not getting fired.

    He was playing his guitar for students at my elementary school. He had been warned before, but the kids enjoyed it so he continued to play it for them anyways. One day, the assistant principal was lurking in the hallway and wandered to his classroom. She saw him playing his guitar and fired him on the spot. A whole lot of students were crying that day because he was an amazing guy. Edit: More information, this took place in a small, rural town in Georgia back in the early 2000s. He wasn’t the music teacher, he just used to bring his guitar and play songs randomly on some days and the kids enjoyed it. He’d been warned multiple times by his higher ups (why? IDK. He was a great teacher). He thought that before the break, he could play something for us one last time during the last week of school. It just happened to be the worst possible timing, while the assistant principal was walking through the halls. He didn’t come back to teach at our school when classes started again. If I recall, he got a job teaching at a different school.

    My AP chem teacher had an affair with the principal. Principal got fired too. I felt bad for her. They didn’t do anything on school property, and it didn’t impact her performance in the classroom. Also, the school wasn’t able to find a qualified teacher to replace her halfway through the year, so we were all fuc*ed come test time at the end of the year. Not one of us passed that AP test.

    Yeah, that had nothing to do with their jobs. Unless there was something specifically in their employment agreement that relationships with subordinates had to be disclosed and approved, there had to be something else going on... BS on this one.

    While it was done off school property the issue is that it was a person in position of power (the Principal) with a subordinate (the teacher). Had the relationship/affair ended badly the teacher could have filed sexual harassment, stating "Quid Pro Quo". School, just like business, often have policies against dating between faculty and admin.

    He didn't come to parent teacher interview night. The next day, he was late for class and crashed his pickup into a brick sign outside the school. Cops showed up obviously and allegedly he blew twice the legal limit. He called the principal 'a c*nt' as he was taken away.

    Because he was qualified, maybe? I guess when you run a school district you can make sure you only hire people who will never make a mistake, but most of us don't have a crystal ball and have to assume people aren't going to do anything too crazy.

    Coach/History teacher of course. First off some of the early warning signs we all should have noticed first. He showed up the first day of school and told us he was a youth minister and that we would always see him in long sleeves and pants because he had tattoos and he regrets them. That he didn't want to accidentally encourage any of us to get some too. Two weeks later he is in shorts and polo shirts showing off multiple looney toons tattoos. He taught 6th grade US History out of a textbook. Word for word. We did multiple chapters a day and were expected to do every assignment listed for each chapter. This averaged about 3 hours of work a day. In 6th grade. He was the only class that year to regularly assign homework and he received multiple parent complaints about the workload. He would often leave the class alone to read chapters. He would then go out to the hall or parking lot to make out with his girlfriend who would arrive randomly. He was the middle school track coach and thus spent a lot of time in and around the middle school locker rooms. Too much time.... He took photos of the kids running for the yearbook. These pictures eventually made it onto his work computer desktop. Then his phone background. Only the girls though. But the final straw that got us out of his care. He showed up to a middle school basketball game drunk and tried to yell at the ref. He was fired that day and not allowed back on campus.

Whenever he would wear shorts, he would put a bandaid over her boobs, lmao. One day he forgot the bandaid and a friend walked up to him and TOLD HIM he forgot his bandaid.

    Definitely a no no to start mixing theology with the curriculum. I'm not even talking about church and state here. But I'm going to call BS on this anyway. I'm sure he didn't just stop his lecture on quadratic equations to start talking about the Old Testament. There had to be more context to this that we are missing.

    She had fallen off the wagon and was drinking a lot to the point where it was affecting her memory. We kept doing the same lecture on density in sixth grade science for a month, until one my classmates decided to ask another teacher about it. From there she went to rehab. If anyone wants more context. She was our homeroom and science teacher. She was very nice, and married to our assistant principal, so she had a little bit more leeway. While she was able to remain sober for a while, she eventually passed away do the effects of her addiction a few years after this. She never seemed like a bad teacher, but she was always stressed to the absolute maximum, always felt like she was working from behind, and generally struggling to keep up. You know, the traditional tail end of the "functioning" addict lifestyle.

    There was a tornado in our area. The college I was in was leasing a multi-floor office building. Alarms were sounding outside, and people were retreating into the stairwells for safety. Teacher blew it off and said people were just making it up to be funny. Learned when I got home that the tornado was right outside the window I was sitting next to. Reported him to the faculty. So did others. He was gone the following week.

    I'm throwing a big ole bullshit flag on this one. I've been in a tornado - well, three of them actually. Even the smallest one was powerful enough to blow a house into a pile of rubble and snap a telephone pole right in half. If there was one outside of your window, it was either a large and relatively harmless dust devil, or you would have spent some time in the hospital afterwards while the surgeons were removing most of that window from various orfices on your body.

    Teachers at my high school got fired on a pretty regular basis (principal was a narcissist) but here's one of the rare ones we actually heard about. The school went into lockdown because someone was seen hopping over the fence onto campus at the start of the school day. Freshman geography teacher locked his door, didn't control his class, wouldn't let one of the students back in, and jumped at every sound he heard. For comparison, the sub in senior literature next door didn't have a key to lock the door, but grabbed the handle, got on the floor, and planted both his feet on the frame so that the door couldn't be opened. I think the dude was a linebacker for football, too.

    I can't defend the rest of it- but when I was trained for lockdown drills we were specifically told that once the door is locked, you can't open it back up. Even if there's a student or teacher on the other side begging. You can't open the door bc the shooter could be using them as bait, and doing so would put everyone in the room at risk. I don't work in schools anymore, but I still have nightmares about kids being on the other side of a door I can't open. It's a horrible thought.

    That is unspeakably terrible! Good Lord! Shitty pay, no love from principals, parents OR children and also PTSD from someone hopping a fence - I don't need to ask why nobody wants to be a teacher. Jeez! (Now I'll have nightmares, too.)

    The sadest part of this that no one really reacts to how weird the whole thing is. Some are even commenting about proper training and drills.

    I worked in an elementary school for 20 years. We had active shooter/intruder drills at least twice a year so everyone knows what to do just in case.

    Actually, what to do in that situation is absolutely NOT to stand in front of the door. You barricade and be as far from it as possible.

    If the door opens outwards (which it must or bracing his feet against the doorframe wouldn't help) barricading it won't do much good.

    That level of lock down they are not suppose to open the door even for a student. Reasoning is if an intruder has a student hostage and has them plead at the door the be let in. Now they intruder has an entire classroom hostage (or worse) and a place to hole up. The point of a lock down is to minimize potential victims and keep the intruder in the open to make them easier to apprehend. Kudos to the sub for making the best of the situation. Fail by the administration though, Sub's should always be able to secure the room. If the room has a lock block (rubber slide that keeps the door slightly open) then a key isn't necessary they door should be locked anyhow.

    Jesus, I am a student teacher in the UK and it scares me to think about the fact that you have to train your staff and pupils on what to do if an active shooter gets onto the school grounds.

    To be fair, you are not supposed to open your door for anyone when in lockdown. That student would have known that too and they would have known their next step is to find the next open room to go into.

    to be perfectly blunt, until you've been in an active shooter situation, all the drills in the world won't make a difference. you're still going to panic. you're still going to freak out and make mistakes. the important thing is to no freeze up and do nothing.

    He got arrested driving through Nevada over the summer with 5 lbs of weed in his car that he'd bought in a California. He had no intention on telling the district and we only found out because a news reporter from the town he was arrested in contacted our superintendent for a quote on the matter. He was let go immediately.

    I mean, 5lbs of weed is A LOT of weed. That's definitely some intent to distribute charges right there. I live in a legal state and that's still absolutely a felony amount of weed. Carrying it over state lines? Those are big charges.

    A teacher gave alcohol to some students in a field trip out of the country, they students were 16-17 and they asked if the could order beer, later they took photos and it was all over facebook. This was years after I graduated but rumors spread quickly.

    When I was in Belgium my Belgian friends took me out to eat. Their son was 16 or 17, and ordered a beer. I asked them, "Isn't he too young?" They shrugged and said, "It's normal here." It was clear it was no big deal at all.

    Pfffft. 15 on a skiing trip to Italy we were in the pub every night. Drinking age was 14 at the time and teachers asked our parents if they were fine with us drinking supervised. Best school trip ever. Half of us ended up in pubs where the teachers weren’t. XD.

    He was a wonderful friendly and handsome teacher. This girl had a crush. Some bi*ch told the teacher about this girl’s crush. The teacher felt awkward and avoided her eyes from then on. Girl got hurt. Complained to the principal that he was being creepy with her. All the heads( which included my father) were called for a meeting with him. He got sick of defending himself. Shouted:’fu*k you’ll’ and left the school. They fired him before he could hand out his resignation. Edit: to clarify some things- it was one of the best schools and all the richie rich kids studied there (i studied because my father was a faculty, otherwise we don’t have so much money) and hence teachers were dealt with very harshly. On one occasion, a teacher was fired only because it seemed on the cameras that he hit a boy hard. The parents complained and he was fired the next day, without listening to him at all. My father knew that he just patted him, but the kid was spoiled and he lied, also the teacher was a junior one. I mentioned my father so that you’ll know how i know what happened in the meeting. He just knew that a girl has complained and now they are called. Also the teacher we are talking about was EVERY student’s favourite. So other teachers were jealous and they all assumed he is very lenient and encourages us to not follow other teachers and stuff, so it might have made it hard for him to say he stayed professional always.

    No, it is the action of the girl that had the crush. The teacher might have found out another way.

    So is he not allowed to go number 2 (for instance) because TEENAGERS can't sit in a class and wait on a teacher for a while? No wonder kids get such an 'adulting' shock when they leave school.

    If I had a dime for every time a teacher left the class unattended when I was in school, I would be rich. What is it about people today that they think the class is going to completely fall apart unless they are constantly supervised? This explains so much about the crappy millennials I have to work with now. Unless you are standing right behind them, they can't get anything done.
