For many, high school is one of the most (if not the most) colorful years of their lives. Some met the love of their life and experienced their first kiss, while others made lifelong friends.
But for these people, it was a time when they witnessed such a disgraceful scandal that it remained fresh in their minds for many years. They spoke about it in a recent Reddit thread, where they shared stories about teacher-student relationships, unwanted pregnancies, and illegal activities that could easily be a plot to a crime thriller.
Teacher in middle school went out on leave to have a baby. Her replacement was so liked that they hired him on to be a constant teacher’s aid, and if someone called off, he was the first sub for any class.
It was also his first job at a school, right out of university, so he was as young as he could be. A lot of the middle school girls (12-15 years old) looked up to him as a “mature hottie.” I heard some disturbing things.
You can probably see where this is going.
Two girls got into a rather violent fight, clothing was ripped, hair was ripped out, blood was drawn, this wasn’t just knuckles to faces until someone stopped, they were fighting to k**l.
Turns out he was sleeping with both of them, and they both thought they could keep him all to themselves until they turned 18 and got married. So, instead of getting mad at him, they got mad at each other for moving in on what they viewed as “their man.”
Shortly after the fight was stopped, the principal sat them down and asked them to work backwards down the timeline to figure out who started it. So the dude was walked out in handcuffs less than 15 minutes after the fight started
Married Science teacher/girl’s basketball coach was sleeping with a senior on the bball team. He later divorced and then married the senior. Then he went on to become the county’s school superintendent
My high school Civics teacher went inside the school building on the last day of school and was never seen again. There is video footage of him walking into the building from the teacher’s parking lot, but he does not appear on the video footage from the inside of that very entrance. It’s like he literally disappeared while entering the building. He was also my junior and senior year homeroom teacher, and everyone thought it was super weird that he wasn’t in the classroom because he always got there extra early, even for the teachers. Since I knew we had to have attendance submitted to the office or we would all be counted absent, I went down the hall and told one of the other teachers so he could take our attendance.
But yeah, he was never seen or heard from again. The police did a huge investigation and I heard (but I don’t know for sure) that the FBI got involved. As far as I know, he didn’t have any skeletons in his closet, not even a parking ticket, no enemies, no particular reason to disappear. He just suddenly stopped existing best anyone could tell. That was back in 1997.
EDIT: I’m not sharing the details of this case due to hometown politics. I don’t live in the town anymore, but I’m still in touch with a lot of my friends from high school. Some of those friends are police officers and many of the town’s residents don’t want their town known for this. I personally disagree, but I’m being respectful of the overall population’s wishes. If my lack of detail causes you to doubt my story, that is unfortunate, understandable, and well within your rights. I’m not going to provide any more information. Have a good day
14 year old kid slipped in the shower and died. I didn’t know him but sometimes I remind myself of it. Crazy how fragile we can be
Me, having a baby senior year. The scandal lives rent free in my home
A chemistry teacher got sacked because after repeatedly warning one particular student about wearing his safety glasses, she taught him a lesson by spraying him in the eyes with a chemical solution
The disappearance of all the mouse trackballs from the computer lab
We had two guys from school rob a Taco Bell and one of them ended up murdering another student who had been working that night.
A good kid lost his life, a buddy of ours got 25 to L and the dude who committed the murder got life without parole.
Another kid who was the “get away driver” went on the run for almost 15 years.
It was just a messed up situation all the way around. So many heart broken parents, family members and friends
There was one gal who cheated on her senior chemistry finals and snapchatted the answers to her story. Someone snitched and she got suspended. The ironic thing is that she had the reputation of being like the A+ student and I think was close to valedictorian. She was actually supposed to speak at graduation but they didn’t let her
Football coach/teacher freaked out and ripped a door off its hinges when a student wrote a short story about a clown that m******d all his clown-students, (was obviously a story about the teacher)
1) The athletic director and superintendent were embezzling funds from our massive sports program. They were caught because they were exchanging text messages on their school issued phones calling students racial slurs and saying sexist things.
The text messages ended up coming out in court and exposed many teachers’ personal business, including affairs and illnesses, etc.
2) Our school board was being defrauded by a law firm for millions of dollars.
3) The previous superintendent had also stolen from the school district and gotten caught.
Meanwhile, there were several school buildings that were like, crumbling. We were rationing art supplies and sharing books while they were STEALING from us!
4. A really well-liked and popular teacher was criminally charged for sleeping with a student. People were fighting about it for weeks
