I wouldn’t call it a scandal, just extremely sad. We had a much loved science teacher who also coached a lot of sports. We all loved him. His daughter had been Homecoming Queen about 10 years earlier. One day I’m sitting in study hall and we all hear him screaming. At first we couldn’t tell what he was saying, but then we could. “I’ll kill him! I’ll kill him!” He had just learned that his son-in-law had murdered his daughter. That was in the mid 70’s and no one talked about domestic violence back then. Over 50 years later and I can still hear his screams.
My senior class WAS the scandal. We were the reason future seniors lost the right to go into the gymnasium balcony for pep rallies (some jerks dumped flour on the special ed students). Then, at the end of the year, over a dozen of my classmates broke into the school the night before graduation for a prank that turned into a mass trashing of the school grounds. Someone sprayed fire extinguishers into the computer lab, there were crickets released, they somehow damaged brand new bleachers... it was so messy. The school had to be closed for the day to clean everything up for graduation that night, and my friend and I were dodging reporters when we left to get lunch. The people who participated in the event were banned from participating in graduation.
The class before mine ruined it for us. They stole farm animals and released them inside of the school, which resulted in a lot of the animals getting killed. I didn't even know what happened until I noticed that there were chickens in the courtyard. They made it onto some MTV show because of it but a lot of them weren't allowed to walk.
My music teacher got arrested on site for allegedly sleeping with a 16 year old, he was led away in handcuffs mid class. He was young-ish maybe mid or late 20s. That was over 14 years ago, in a private school. The 16 year old lied and ruined the teachers life. He was proven innocent and the 16 year old got away scot free. Dude has never taught again and joined his church worship team and later became a youth worker for troubled kids
Okay here’s mine. Middle school in Atlanta area (probably can find this story if you looked hard enough). Two girls baked a cake and handed it out to some teachers and a few students. Everyone who ate some got sick. This is because the cake had: Glue, rat poison, and bleach in it. How the flavor was covered up, I have no idea. They were put on trail for attempted murder but what ended up happening was them being split up and sent to different schools across the state. This was after a few years of specialized schooling where “problem kids” went. Separate ones also. I was a grade ahead of these girls but I did have an encounter with the supposed ringleader when she was forced to have solitary lunch (a type of mid-day isolated lunch in the lunchroom). One dude in my class was being a middle school boy and laughed at her as our class walked in. After we all sat she came to our table and threw a milk carton at him and screamed bloody murder at him. The milk cartoon wasn’t open so he just laughed more which incited her further. Eventually she got dragged away and I think he got written up or something. The next year I was in high school and she was now in 8th grade when this story happened. We joked that the guy was lucky he wasn’t there.
When I went to CDL school, most of the class failed the DOT mandated drug test. When I started college, another student hit my car in the parking lot and ran. Damage wasn't that bad but he got expelled since the accident and his license plate were caught both on my dash cam and the school's CCTV. Apparently he lied to the cops about it too. Another guy quit English I mid-semester because he didn't like that I (a woman) gave a presentation on literary references in naval history. Literally yelled "What do girls know about history?!" and stormed out. I watched him back his truck into a light pole and peel out.
Similar story to the one in Pennsylvania: I sat next to a kid at lunch who wrote on a bathroom stall; "Don't come to school on 4/20." And drew a gun under it. Now this kid looked like a typical school shooter but he was actually pretty nice but he had a twisted sense of humor and wanted to skip school on that day. He was actually called to the principals office and was questioned by police but they couldn't prove he did it so they let him go. His mom still made him ho to school that day and I remember during lunch one of our friends at the table brought up how bad his plan backfired. We all had a laugh and were giving him a hard time when I said, "Yeah, plus we know you don't have it in you to actually do something like that." He suddenly got this crazed look on his face and simply said, "Really?". He slowly reached into his leather trench coat breast pocket and for a moment we all froze in fear. Then he pulled out a snickers bar, opened it and took a bite. He looked at all of our horrified faces, smirked and said, "I thought you said you knew I didn't have it in me?" We all laughed, mostly in relief and continued our lunch like we didn't almost wet ourselves with terror.
My high school nickname was the Olympians. Our logo included a torch and the Olympic rings. Someone working on the yearbook wondered if this was illegal (it was because the United States Olympic Committee owns the trademark for the rings in the United States.) The USOC agreed not to sue us if we changed the logo. A couple years ago at my daughter's middle school, an eighth grade girl (my daughter was in the sixth grade at the time) was suspected of having a vape pen on her, so the (female) principal strip-searched the student. The girl didn't have the vape pen on her, and the principal was fired quietly. The year after I graduated, a man murdered his roommates and drove 500 miles to the college I went to while high on meth to try to get back with his ex. He wound up holding her and three other female students hostage for a couple hours and was killed by the SWAT team. Fortunately, the hostages were unhurt.
I was the scandal at school. When I was 16 I got "influenced" to go and rob a moonshiner warehouse. Thankfully didn't get caught by the crooks but did get caught by the cops because apparently the "wares" had methanol in them and I almost died because of it. Had to get my stomach pumped and was arrested at the hospital the morning I was okay to leave. I did get brought to court, and being an honest person I confessed to everything and told the story exactly as it happened and plead guilty... being honest didn't absolve me of consequences (I got sent to juvie).
Worked front desk at a high school for the “troubled” teens. Working the front desk meant I was the one who answered all calls… including the one from a mother whose son had ODed and only been found that morning when he didn’t wake up for school. I was shocked. The kid was late a lot, so he would sign in at the front office. So I actually knew this kid pretty well. That made it even worse. I had no clue what to do. They didn’t cover this situation in my 2 days of training. When I finally got off the call, I told the principal and the school counselor ASAP. They were similarly dumbfounded. They handled it well though. Or as well as they could. What made it worse is that my office area was next to the counselor’s… and the walls were thin. I heard so many crying screaming teens.
3 pdf files in 1 year of high school, 1 escaped, 1 is unaffected, 1 is in jail(stat rap, solicit with minor), and like 2 years ago the 9th grade assistant principal did it with a 14-15 year old boy, is now in jail too, that's about it ig. More stuff, girl od on fent, and the constant usage of drugs in school.
I had one possibly pdf file too, girls gym teacher. A 50ish woman, I didn't have her, but a friend did, said she was overly touchy. Unsure what happened to her, but she just disappeared mid year. Everything was kept very hush-hush
My middle school had the worst reputation in the district. I had missed school for a few days and when I got back 11 fights had occurred in a span of 3 days. That same day 3 more fights had already occurred. One of the fights was between two girls over a boy. One of the girls slammed the other's head against the metal bar gate and an ambulance had to be called. Then their moms also got into a fight, as the girl was getting into the ambulance. Not a few hours later, another fight occurred outside the school, that resulted in a gun being pulled because someone accidentally spilled ice over a car. Classes started at 8:00, I skipped and went back home at 11:00 because I wasn't gonna deal with that shit show for the rest of the day. Another rumored scandal was that some kids were playing truth or dare in the school gym. A girl and boy who dared to kiss under the bleachers ended up doing it, not giving a care that others were around and watching. A friend of mine was present in the game. Some parents found out but no one got in trouble in the end from what I remember.
girl who graduated this year was known for all her years of highschool because she recorded herself using nunchucks for “fun time” and somehow a bunch of people got a hold of it. she also openly tried to take her best friends boyfriend, in front of her best friend, then dated him after they broke up. she was 16 and he was 21. i really hope she makes it somewhere far away from him
Someone called 911 on the last day of school and told them that someone had a weapon. (Funny thing is, I don’t think the caller went to our school or was there physically that day, I’m not sure though). We went into lockdown and actually had the SWAT team search the school. There were rumors that someone got stabbed, but it was all fake. Nothing happened, no weapon was found, and idk what happened to the caller.
*scandal: one of the most popular girls in school & one of the heads of the dance & cheer teams was made to quit school and go to adult ed because she turned 18 during the school year!*
A teacher took a student to the Debs like Prom but happens after the final exam and off campus. He thought he couldn't get in trouble because it was after final exams. Nope she was still legally a student till the results come out and they have the graduation ceremony. So even if people believed the relationship didn't start till after the exams and her 18th birthday (no one did) he was still going to be fired.
This happened when I was in 7th grade. I was at P.E one morning when my best friend walked out of the office. During recess I went up and asked her what happened. She had caught two of our classmates vaping in the boys bathroom. I was shocked. They were kids who would constantly get in trouble but I didn’t expect them to do something stupid like that! They got suspended from school for only three weeks. In my eyes, it was just a slap on the wrist. I have one of the boys in a high school class with me. The other one moved away and now has to be homeschooled. I just want to say to that second classmate, wherever you are I hope you are doing better and I hope you’ve become more mature. I wish you the best.
I actually have some for once. 1) a girl had a baby at one of the restaurants in my home town and after she gave birth she put the baby in the back of the toilet and died. 2) (after I graduated) my school had a chicken wing eating contest and one of the kids took a snap calling one of the kids the n word and it went viral, the rolling stones wrote an article about my school being the most racist school in America (95% white) but they got lucky that the access Hollywood tape came out at the same time. Crazy part is, when I went there (10-14) is was a very accepting school. Crazy how fast it can change
In my middle school there wasn't enough space for all the students. They had kids sitting at random tables with chairs pulled over, no desks, etc. This was a couple years after I left. The vice principal was told to keep his mouth shut. He didn't. He quit, announced publicly what was going on, and I think might've been reinstated and promoted.
In my senior year of high school we had a category in the yearbook for the student who was 'Most Likely to Appear on Watchdog' (I think Crimewatch is the US equivalent). The category was removed after the guy who won it got arrested.
Kids threw tampons and pads everywhere. Not used ones thankfully but they had pads and tampons in the girls bathroom like just open, on the floor, stuck to the stalls, etc. and apparently one girl threw an open tampon AT a teacher.
The year after I graduated, a new art teacher was hired because the previous retired. The new art teacher was shortly caught having relations with a minor student. Even though the name of the student was not mentioned in the media stories, I live in a small town and word travels fast so it wasn’t long before everyone knew who the student was. I, personally, heard from my sisters because they love to gossip, lol. Also, the lady who taught my science class in eighth grade was fired in the middle of the school year for being racist and calling a poc student something super racist.
I went to an all-boys catholic middle school where lots of teachers and students were in a fringe royalist party (wanting the king to come back to power in France, that's like insanely conservative). German crosses were drawn everywhere on desks, an IT teacher got bullied out of his job by students for being Arabic, kids spread rumors about me being gay and when they had to write apology letters for a couple bullying incidents, wrote "I'm sorry for making fun of (me)'s homosexual tendencies". The word "gypsy" was made into a verb and used as a slang word for theft. Kids detonated fireworks in the yard too
Group of 14-15 years olds went to walk around the building site. No idea how they went in there unnoticed and why there was no guards, but from what i know/remember they got to the third or fourth floor and one of them fell from that height onto the steel rods placed on the basement height level to pour the concrete later. The guy died immediately. School decided "not on school territory, means school doesn't care" so most of the information was from those who was on the site and teachers didn't even mention the accident to everyone. I learned about it from my then girlfriend who knew both the guy and students who were with him.
This exact thing happened to a guy I knew in high school the summer before he started college. Went to a construction site, got absolutely wasted, took a header onto the rebar. It was such a shock because he was one of those always happy, everything is always funny guys and a lot of people still believe it was an accident. I don’t. I understand severe depression and desperation. How long had he been pretending he was okay?
@@kryw10 I hid it, for 3 long years. And it took everything from me in the end, my complete ability to function. Even every breath caused physical pain. That was over 20 years ago. Medications helped me and I'm okay now. But, fuck, I've seen those darkest depths, and I won't let anyone else go through that hell if I can help it, at least not alone.
my school is one of the best in the state, but for some reason, my 4 yrs were some of the most chaotic. 1st year there was a bomb threat made by a student, swat team came and we had an early dismissal, made local news. next year, someone called one of my friends the n word for no reason (not that there is one, but he just said it). third year this girl got pregnant (very sweet girl, everyone was mean to her I felt bad), and last year it was Covid, but before that there was a student who died in a car accident and another student who got murdered over an argument with his ‘friend’. FORGOT TO MENTION: young student teacher or substitute (can’t remember) was having *affairs* with students. she was in her 20s but it’s still extremely gross after high school this girl and her bf got arrested for attempted murder, more people passed away unfortunately, one from suicide and one from an unforeseen seizure (perhaps induced by vaping and an undiagnosed heart condition, he was my friends brother whom I knew decently, I would’ve never guessed this would happen to him of all people).
Had (not mine) a teacher at my school say the hard r with the intent of hate crime and went under investigation and put under house arrest and he STILL WORKS THERE cause we literally cannot get teachers for our school Also he “teaches” WWII and proudly owns a copy of mein kampf in a way that comes off as… odd
For mine, one of my friends in highschool committed suicide with her cop father's gun because he left it on the kitchen counter with the safety off in their house. he got no reprocrussions for it to this day. and her boyfriend at the time who was in the same friend group as me had a rumor go around that they were in a suicide pact, he was sent down to guidance and everything over it when it wasn't even close to true. absolutely disgusting how all of this happened the way that it did.
my school is pretty boring, but the biggest "scandal" was that our superintendent was very hesitant to cancel school for any reason (for example, every other school in the area averages around 6-8 snow days every year, but under her control we've never had more than 2). When covid hit, our school system was one of the last to cancel school, and it didn't happen until all of the high schoolers (I was in middle school at the time) walked out of the school and marched down to the town hall to protest. then we got 2 weeks off, which became 2 more weeks, which became another month, which became virtual school until the end of the year, which became virtual for the first part of the following year, which then became hybrid school where we went in every other week, etc.
We had problems with students shacking up in the band practice rooms. The band hall was constructed with some practice rooms very well hidden from the rest of the school. Many students (including the band students) took advantage of this and I found out that a close friend of mine was one of these students, at her wedding. There was another incident where two freshmen were caught. (Our freshman had their own building, and their band area had less privacy). This led to our band teachers having to explain that if we didn’t want them to see what we were doing out in the open, then don’t do it in the practice rooms.
these aren’t too bad but they are still talked about even now that i’m not in high school anymore. in our school cafe someone walked into a couple when the girl was giving head to her boyfriend. an english teacher walked into girls scissoring in the girls bathroom. a few students tried to get high off listerine. for being a semi smaller school so much weird shit happened.
The high school I graduated from - and I say this because I started high school at a different school and transferred in my sophomore year - was rated the worst high school in our district. We probably only had the same number of bad kids as any other school but we were the school that was always on the news. There was a teacher who was murdered, he and his wife both I think. And in my senior year alone, we had a bomb go off in a trashcan, which if not for the trashcan would have blown the whole school, a fire in an upstairs boy's bathroom in the building that I was having class in at the time (my teacher was the first to notice something wrong and we were the first class outside), and a code blue lock down, which is a report of a weapon on campus.
It was probably about 1995, and I was attending community college. Anyway, it was summer semester, and at precisely 10:45 AM there was a bomb threat. Everyone had to evacuate and wait for the fire department and police to search the buildings. This happened every Monday and Wednesday. Students, teachers, administrators were really frustrated because classes were always cancelled. After about a month, the school finally traced the calls. It turned out to be another student trying to get out of class. Student was arrested and subsequently expelled.
Ooh I have some fun ones from the school district I went to. About 6 years ago, the school department's superintendent embezzled tens of thousands of dollars with the school department's credit card. When I was in 8th grade, a student walked in on the principal of the school having sex with one of the math teachers in her office during school hours. The math teacher's wife was also a teacher at the school. The principal was fired and the math teacher "retired early due for "medical reasons"" and his wife divorced him. Also the town hid the fact that one of the elementary schools had almost dangerously high levels of radon contamination for DECADES and was so bad that nearly every teacher who taught in one particular wing of that school for longer than 5 years ended up with some form of cancer. The school was completely torn down and the ground had to undergo radon mitigation before the school could be rebuilt. The school department would end up losing the lawsuit several of the affected teachers filed against them.
12:26 You need to get judged guilty for something that can potentially land you for 1+ year in prison to get fired as a "Beamter" in Germany (which teachers, policemen and anyone else employed by Germany itself are). You don't need to actually get sent to prison for 1+ year to get fired, you just need to be judged guilty for something that _can_ land you in prison for that long.
I don't know why they would lock down a school for a shooter with a sawed off in a room that is already watched.. seems like a waste of time I'd be pissed
The worst one in my school was the R that happened in a stairwell during an assembly. The guy who did it got arrested as a minor and was arrested again years later when he used his job as a lawyer to R clients when they could not pay for his services as payment. Dude was charged as a level 3 offender and is currently out after serving 4 months of a 6 month jail sentence in county while his family defends him and rips down any warning posters they see around town.
This wasn’t my school but a school in my town when I was in middle school. One of the students supposedly baked her grandparents ashes into cookies, and then handed them out to students then word spread that she had put her grandparents ashes in the cookies and I believe she was expelled or suspended.
In my middle school (I was in 6th grade at the time), there was a huge scandal involving a 7th grade student and a 6th grade teacher, who so happened to be the girls basketball coach. Needless to say he was caught grooming and SAing her multiple times with multiple students, she just so happened to be his latest one at the time. Now I have many friends who were in his class and saw the same 7th grade student multiple times as she was a student helper, and they would go off to “grade papers” quite often”. Now the shocking part is that the school advisers and higher ups had known before hand about what had happened, so they quickly and quietly put him on paid leave right before spring break had started and didn’t tell the proper authorities until they were already involved . The even more shocking and might I say disturbing part, was that the principal and school advisers didn’t really address anything to the students. They tried to brush it under the rug and act like nothing had happened and then they would suspend anyone who would even talk about it. The authorities and judicial system didn’t even do any good as he was only put in jail for a couple weeks before being released on bond for 4 years, but eventually he was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
The worst scandal to happen at my school was happening at my school while I was a student...but didn't break until YEARS later. A teacher was having a series of affairs with students, moving on to a new one as they graduated. At least one other teacher knew about it but kept it quiet, though she thought it was very bad. This went on until she pursued a student *_most of the year,_* some of it noticed by the other students, until he complained to his parents about her and they went to the school authorities. That student may have decided not to partake of the teacher's charms and thereby broken her streak and led to her losing her job only because she was in her fifties.
We had multiple bomb threats at my high school (NW England, '97 onwards, so during The Troubles in Ireland and there had been multiple bombings in the area previously - Manchester Arndale and Warrington had been bombed by the IRA, or the Provisional IRA or some other extremists - so it couldn't be ignored or treated as a prank). So those were some fun days worth of standing around on the playing field, lined up in our class rows & waiting for HOURS for the police and fire brigade to check the buildings. Also the head of the music dept had a breakdown, got sick with M.E., disappeared for a few years & the last I heard he had divorced his wife and was dating one of his son's best mates. His son was NOT happy about it lol.
There was a dude apparently in our high school that was drinking dip spit. We had recycling bins and my school was gross, lots of dudes spit into bottles and instead of tossing them in the trash they’d toss them in the recycling bins that were at the front of every class. The kid doing it wasn’t in any of my classes but apparently it was such an issue that all the teachers knew about it and I accidentally over heard them speaking about it. I assume other people heard too because I’d hear people discussing it. Very gross and I guess sad because I suppose there’s an aspect of addiction in there but mostly really disgusting.
Story 4: As a former lifeguard, let me throw my two-cents worth in. The ARC standard is two lifeguards for any number of people in the water, and one for every 20-25 people in the water. There should have been at least 3 lifeguards on deck, *not including teachers.* How many teachers you need varies, but a good rule if none of them are strong swimmers is one teacher for every *10 students.* The stakes are literally life and death. It's an accident, sure, but it's not no one's fault. Whoever decided *one teacher and no lifeguards* was enough for a class of *60 non-swimmers,* it's *their* fault, and only one kid died this time, but in my book they're responsible for risking the lives of all of them every time they put them in the water in that situation. Rules and regulations are written in blood.
I have two: When I was in 10th grade a PE teacher had to transfer to a different school, because he was in a relationship with a 12th grader (18 years old). Shortly after I got my drivers license my driving school had to close with next to no notice, because one of the students was involved in an accident during one lesson and it came out, that the driving instructor and owner of the school, had lost his license years earlier.
Story 7 is kinda relatable. My middle and high school are very close together. Like we would run a mile on their track close. One time a student threatened a teacher and the whole school and my middle school went into lockdown. Cops searched the entire school. Didn't find anything. All the HS students got to go home early. This happened back when I was in middle school. I think I was in 7th grade at the time.
Sadly, I can't give any scandal stories. I know that my school has a bunch, but I only talk to my friends [all of which have either graduated or dropped out] so I don't know what's going on :[
At my second elementary school, I was at also was my mom and aunt before as well. Once my mom told me that there was one older teacher who was teaching them who retired. Later they found out he did not really retire but he was told to leave because he was a bit too friendly with young boys. Also once our chemistry teacher told us that there was one chemistry teacher who ended his life in his office. Also in my first elementary school, there was one super grumpy IT teacher who did not really like us. A few years later I found out from my brother that that teacher was bullied by other teachers and students for being gay. Honestly, I was not really surprised because except for one single teacher all of those people were trashy people...
Went through a school where the math teacher was sleeping with half of the senior class. It was found out because she was at a party that had got busted by the police. Same school it was a private school. One student had a mental break and rubbed feces all over a bathroom and on a drinking fountain. The next week during assembly he was called up front and spanked.
My current school has existed since 1905 so i don't even know... But my last school the biggest scandal i believe was when people broke into the school, broke things and stole money that was meant to be saved for a project that we the students were supposed to do
Story 54: IF you don;t want the schools reputation ruined, then maybe, just maybe, don't have teachers "make whoopie" in the bathroom with other teachers. That would be a good place to start i believe.
My elementary school principal... I don't know if he did it at my school, but a couple years after he transfered he was arrested and convicted of going after young boys.
I have two of these not really massive scandals but one was relatively minor while the other was a little more serious. The first was when a friend of mine brought a bullet casing to school (apparently for photography class) well it fell out of his pocket while in the hallway and someone found it. School goes on lockdown and its found out that its his(he took responsibility) and is brought to the principles office. Nothing really happened to him other then a warning. He had no gun or any other weapon and the casing was harmless. Don't really know much else because it was kept surprisingly quiet. He was big into the military and even owned world war 2 gear including a helmet. Still the coolest guy I know. The second one was a lot worse. A kid in sophomore year threatened to stab one of the girls in our school. Parents found out and called police. Kid gets arrested while we're in English class. This was on a Thursday and he came back Monday. Didn't talk much about what happened but he was all smiles and nervous laughter. He ended up moving schools the next year. Last I heard he was in jail for unrelated crimes but that was back in 2020 so he could be out now. As for the girl he threatened very few knew who it was. One of the girls in my Science and English class knew but she never told. Those are the ones i went through but two others happened where a group of students destroyed a statue on school grounds and another where a student destroyed bathroom stall doors for whatever reason.
Not my school or my story- this happened at my friend’s school a few decades ago. A chemistry teacher there was revealed to have a secret side hobby: he had spent the last few years planting pipe bombs at government buildings and sending anonymous threats to the police about it. For a chem teacher his bombs were (thankfully) surprisingly ineffective, the only injury anyone received was a broken bone from flying shrapnel. Still, absolutely wild to think about
My old high school started to accept kids from juvenile. During the spring, one of those kids started flexing his gun he brought to school on social media. The school decided to manufacture outrage by calling it a charging block, then banning portable chargers.
technically this wasn’t my high school but i did go to it for band class (it was an all boys school and i went to an all girls school like a block away) but there was this assistant band teacher that i’ve known since middle school, he could be a stickler sometimes but otherwise a good teacher, all of a sudden in the middle of my sophomore year he was fired and nobody knew why, i still don’t know why and i think it’s because it’d lead to a big scandal like this, rumors went around of a used condom being found in his office, assaulting the cheerleaders that worked with us, or having an affair at school with another teacher, all i know is that there’s a reason why the school hasn’t come clean about their reasoning.
At my secondary school, we had an escaped prisoner run into our school! The alarm went, and we had to stay in our classrooms until the police caught them. The police eventually caught them! And we were late to our last lessons!
Nowhere near as bad as some of these, but we had a science teacher literally get banned from teaching the final two years of students (the ones doing their exams) because our entire class group completely flunked one of her modules. She was that bad at teaching
At ours... was our Female English teacher ruining her marriage and getting fired after sleeping with a 17yo student from the football team. It was kind of a shame because she was a young (mid20s) teacher who was really good at engaging all her students in learning, while being very 'cool' and laid back about things so long as you did your work. She was a very effective and well liked teacher. Being that she was so well liked, it really rocked the school when she was (as she should have been) promptly fired and a criminal investigation was opened. Not sure if she got charges or not in the end, all I know is she effectively ruined her relationships, her life and her career prospects.
Hazing has become much more widely talked about lately. I remember my first year at a church youth camp they had an initiation prank called "ooga booga" where you had to copy the dance the senior girl showed you to become an "ooga booga princess", and the prank was that they put a wet sponge/washcloth into the seat behind you for you to sit on. I actually was kind of disappointed when they discontinued it by the time my sister was a firsty and I was a senior, probably because it was a kind of hazing. I also got dragged on a snipe hunt with some younger girls (another classic prank in my church youth groups)
I went to a Christian school: Two married teachers (to other people) had an affair. Not the school's business, right? They had people stand in the parking lot at pickup time and pass this information to all the parents to "inform them", then they announced it to the students and brought in grief counselors to help students who were upset about it. In what world is it ok to announce your employees extra-marrital affair to their students and their students' parents?
Recently I found out the reason one of the teachers I had from 8th grade to 11th-12th grade was fired for raping one of my classmates in the parking lot at the back of the school. We knew he was dropped for something related to minors but we figured it was something like sexting (still terrible). The extra details was that the person he did it to was dragged from the classroom he taught us in. The only reason he got caught was because a student or member of staff walked in on it, catching him red handed. The poor kid (the one it happened to) was probably terrified to be in the classroom again (but every single one of my classmates did in fact return to aforementioned classroom after he left so bloody hell did they have guts).
Not my school, but I did some IT work for the DC Public Schools. Each school is given its own technology budget, and can buy whatever it wants with it, at least through approved vendors. As a result, there's next to no standardization (except all the computers are Lenovo; ugh). Some use it wisely and have amazing learning setups for the kids, and others redirect most of the money into other stuff and their equipment is garbage. If you want to know why I said ugh earlier, how about having to update hundreds of laptops to fix a firmware bug that affects charging? Firmware issues are all too common with Lenovo machines, and I've always just found them quirky with bad design decisions. I know they're considered reliable, and I respect that. But I hate supporting them because of things like that.
It wasn’t just my school but my class. Someone actually poop on one of the school desk. The teacher spend an excruciating long time to tell the class what happened. He keep saying someone who do such a thing is mentally ill and needs help. We should therefore tell who did it. I had no idea and just wished he would just say what happened. Never did find out who did the crass thing
As a born and raised Swede I can answer the narrator’s question on the last story and can confirm that yes, Swedish laws are in fact that fucked up. Our justice system is basically nonexistent. A friend of mine got molested when we were 11 y/o and I had to go to the police station for questioning. Having to recount the details she had told us of the disgusting things he did to her was traumatizing. Did the dude get charged? Nope. Did he get ANY type of punishment? Nope. Me and my friends were TERRIFIED if we saw him or his car while out just walking around doing random stuff kids do. I am 22 now and still get a pit in my stomach if I see a car even resembling the car he drove. Our lack of punishment and accountability of literal SA OFFENDERS pisses me off everyday. It’s my biggest grief I have with this country.
1. A wave of suicides. This happened nearly a decade before I had entered the high school. My nana's neighborhood made a "LOVE" fence as a small memorial for all those lost kids. By the time I started working, nearly 13-ish years after that horrendous year I figured out that the school was still known as "Suicide High". 2. My senior year: at least 4 math teachers all "resigned" for various reasons. One was just down right cruel and some kid with an IEP had parents who made a stink. One asked a girl of she masturbated because she was wearing a "Self Love" shirt (he had also paused class to ask this, so there were about 30 witnesses). One was put on administrative leave after raising his fist and saying "white power" and just so happened to "resign" when he was due back. He was also really creepy towards girls and was awful at teaching. The other one "resigned" when he was caught flirting with an underage girl on a school trip after supplying her with alcohol. 3. Bomb threat. I was in third grade at the time. 4. The middle school 8th grade boys bathroom incidents. 5. Failing to follow students IEPs properly.
during my sophomore year of high school there was a DEAD FISH found in one of the urinals, and its blood was EVERYWHERE. i never saw it firsthand since im a girl but i saw pictures and it was disgusting. idk if the person who did it ever got caught, but i think the school shut down all but one of the bathrooms on each floor for a bit, which is normal whenever a student or group of students get into trouble in the bathrooms
Sophomore year not super scandalous but the school canceled the seniors 'break the dress code' day but most still participated and they tried to shut them down in the worst way possible demanding (girls mostly) that they change right there. One even outside the entrance and when she asked to go to the bathroom to change they said no
i think i may have actually been attending the very middle school mentioned in story # 7 because i remember the exact same situation from when i was in 6th or 7th grade
I wouldn’t call it a scandal, just extremely sad. We had a much loved science teacher who also coached a lot of sports. We all loved him. His daughter had been Homecoming Queen about 10 years earlier. One day I’m sitting in study hall and we all hear him screaming. At first we couldn’t tell what he was saying, but then we could. “I’ll kill him! I’ll kill him!” He had just learned that his son-in-law had murdered his daughter. That was in the mid 70’s and no one talked about domestic violence back then. Over 50 years later and I can still hear his screams.
sorry about this...
That story with the guy revealing it was him all along at the end actually got me really good! Good story

nvm just saw it
oh GREAT, now I just got spoiled for this, thanks!! lol

@@NickWrightDataYT lol, 😂 sorry
My senior class WAS the scandal. We were the reason future seniors lost the right to go into the gymnasium balcony for pep rallies (some jerks dumped flour on the special ed students). Then, at the end of the year, over a dozen of my classmates broke into the school the night before graduation for a prank that turned into a mass trashing of the school grounds. Someone sprayed fire extinguishers into the computer lab, there were crickets released, they somehow damaged brand new bleachers... it was so messy. The school had to be closed for the day to clean everything up for graduation that night, and my friend and I were dodging reporters when we left to get lunch. The people who participated in the event were banned from participating in graduation.
The class before mine ruined it for us. They stole farm animals and released them inside of the school, which resulted in a lot of the animals getting killed. I didn't even know what happened until I noticed that there were chickens in the courtyard. They made it onto some MTV show because of it but a lot of them weren't allowed to walk.
My music teacher got arrested on site for allegedly sleeping with a 16 year old, he was led away in handcuffs mid class. He was young-ish maybe mid or late 20s. That was over 14 years ago, in a private school. The 16 year old lied and ruined the teachers life. He was proven innocent and the 16 year old got away scot free. Dude has never taught again and joined his church worship team and later became a youth worker for troubled kids
Props to him bro.
Those who lie about SA, should be given the same punishment as the ones they lied about
I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere about a guy being falsely accused and commiting alt F4 on himself
They should get the exact same charges. Equal punishment, equal sentence.
Okay here’s mine. Middle school in Atlanta area (probably can find this story if you looked hard enough). Two girls baked a cake and handed it out to some teachers and a few students. Everyone who ate some got sick. This is because the cake had: Glue, rat poison, and bleach in it. How the flavor was covered up, I have no idea. They were put on trail for attempted murder but what ended up happening was them being split up and sent to different schools across the state. This was after a few years of specialized schooling where “problem kids” went. Separate ones also. I was a grade ahead of these girls but I did have an encounter with the supposed ringleader when she was forced to have solitary lunch (a type of mid-day isolated lunch in the lunchroom). One dude in my class was being a middle school boy and laughed at her as our class walked in. After we all sat she came to our table and threw a milk carton at him and screamed bloody murder at him. The milk cartoon wasn’t open so he just laughed more which incited her further. Eventually she got dragged away and I think he got written up or something. The next year I was in high school and she was now in 8th grade when this story happened. We joked that the guy was lucky he wasn’t there.
When I went to CDL school, most of the class failed the DOT mandated drug test.
When I started college, another student hit my car in the parking lot and ran. Damage wasn't that bad but he got expelled since the accident and his license plate were caught both on my dash cam and the school's CCTV. Apparently he lied to the cops about it too. Another guy quit English I mid-semester because he didn't like that I (a woman) gave a presentation on literary references in naval history. Literally yelled "What do girls know about history?!" and stormed out. I watched him back his truck into a light pole and peel out.
"Unbelievable twists and turns in every story. Truth really is stranger than fiction!"
Similar story to the one in Pennsylvania: I sat next to a kid at lunch who wrote on a bathroom stall; "Don't come to school on 4/20." And drew a gun under it. Now this kid looked like a typical school shooter but he was actually pretty nice but he had a twisted sense of humor and wanted to skip school on that day. He was actually called to the principals office and was questioned by police but they couldn't prove he did it so they let him go. His mom still made him ho to school that day and I remember during lunch one of our friends at the table brought up how bad his plan backfired. We all had a laugh and were giving him a hard time when I said, "Yeah, plus we know you don't have it in you to actually do something like that." He suddenly got this crazed look on his face and simply said, "Really?". He slowly reached into his leather trench coat breast pocket and for a moment we all froze in fear. Then he pulled out a snickers bar, opened it and took a bite. He looked at all of our horrified faces, smirked and said, "I thought you said you knew I didn't have it in me?" We all laughed, mostly in relief and continued our lunch like we didn't almost wet ourselves with terror.
Ok im dying!!!😂😂 The giy who snuck into school and stole all the phones killing me
I have to say you are one of my go to channels to watch whenever I can’t find anything else. Keep up the good work :D
We had a driver’s ed teacher arrested for a DUI. He crashed his car while ON HIS WAY TO PICK UP A STUDENT FOR A DRIVING LESSON.
That is both ironic and kind of sad
*_facepalm_* Well that's special. . .
Why did I read lesson as lesbian💀💀

My high school nickname was the Olympians. Our logo included a torch and the Olympic rings. Someone working on the yearbook wondered if this was illegal (it was because the United States Olympic Committee owns the trademark for the rings in the United States.) The USOC agreed not to sue us if we changed the logo.
A couple years ago at my daughter's middle school, an eighth grade girl (my daughter was in the sixth grade at the time) was suspected of having a vape pen on her, so the (female) principal strip-searched the student. The girl didn't have the vape pen on her, and the principal was fired quietly.
The year after I graduated, a man murdered his roommates and drove 500 miles to the college I went to while high on meth to try to get back with his ex. He wound up holding her and three other female students hostage for a couple hours and was killed by the SWAT team. Fortunately, the hostages were unhurt.
As someone who grew up in eastern Ohio... the whole Steubenville thing just reminded me why the whole area is a trash fire.
I was the scandal at school. When I was 16 I got "influenced" to go and rob a moonshiner warehouse. Thankfully didn't get caught by the crooks but did get caught by the cops because apparently the "wares" had methanol in them and I almost died because of it. Had to get my stomach pumped and was arrested at the hospital the morning I was okay to leave. I did get brought to court, and being an honest person I confessed to everything and told the story exactly as it happened and plead guilty... being honest didn't absolve me of consequences (I got sent to juvie).
Worked front desk at a high school for the “troubled” teens. Working the front desk meant I was the one who answered all calls… including the one from a mother whose son had ODed and only been found that morning when he didn’t wake up for school.
I was shocked. The kid was late a lot, so he would sign in at the front office. So I actually knew this kid pretty well. That made it even worse.
I had no clue what to do. They didn’t cover this situation in my 2 days of training. When I finally got off the call, I told the principal and the school counselor ASAP. They were similarly dumbfounded. They handled it well though. Or as well as they could.
What made it worse is that my office area was next to the counselor’s… and the walls were thin. I heard so many crying screaming teens.
respect for the warning at the beginning, really hoping that’s a new standard now there have been disgusting stories with no warning at all
3 pdf files in 1 year of high school, 1 escaped, 1 is unaffected, 1 is in jail(stat rap, solicit with minor), and like 2 years ago the 9th grade assistant principal did it with a 14-15 year old boy, is now in jail too, that's about it ig.
More stuff, girl od on fent, and the constant usage of drugs in school.
I had one possibly pdf file too, girls gym teacher. A 50ish woman, I didn't have her, but a friend did, said she was overly touchy. Unsure what happened to her, but she just disappeared mid year. Everything was kept very hush-hush
@@dalekcat reminds me of a few years ago when my gym teacher was gone for stat rape.
Say pedophile and stop talking like kindergarteners, jfc
My middle school had the worst reputation in the district.
I had missed school for a few days and when I got back 11 fights had occurred in a span of 3 days. That same day 3 more fights had already occurred. One of the fights was between two girls over a boy. One of the girls slammed the other's head against the metal bar gate and an ambulance had to be called. Then their moms also got into a fight, as the girl was getting into the ambulance. Not a few hours later, another fight occurred outside the school, that resulted in a gun being pulled because someone accidentally spilled ice over a car. Classes started at 8:00, I skipped and went back home at 11:00 because I wasn't gonna deal with that shit show for the rest of the day.
Another rumored scandal was that some kids were playing truth or dare in the school gym. A girl and boy who dared to kiss under the bleachers ended up doing it, not giving a care that others were around and watching. A friend of mine was present in the game. Some parents found out but no one got in trouble in the end from what I remember.
Glad to hear the usual narrator! I like the other one too, but it’s nice to see a familiar face. (Voice?)
girl who graduated this year was known for all her years of highschool because she recorded herself using nunchucks for “fun time” and somehow a bunch of people got a hold of it. she also openly tried to take her best friends boyfriend, in front of her best friend, then dated him after they broke up. she was 16 and he was 21. i really hope she makes it somewhere far away from him
Someone called 911 on the last day of school and told them that someone had a weapon. (Funny thing is, I don’t think the caller went to our school or was there physically that day, I’m not sure though). We went into lockdown and actually had the SWAT team search the school. There were rumors that someone got stabbed, but it was all fake. Nothing happened, no weapon was found, and idk what happened to the caller.
*scandal: one of the most popular girls in school & one of the heads of the dance & cheer teams was made to quit school and go to adult ed because she turned 18 during the school year!*
A teacher took a student to the Debs like Prom but happens after the final exam and off campus. He thought he couldn't get in trouble because it was after final exams. Nope she was still legally a student till the results come out and they have the graduation ceremony. So even if people believed the relationship didn't start till after the exams and her 18th birthday (no one did) he was still going to be fired.
Bro your channel has grown I’m proud of you and this is what I listen to while I run so thank you
This happened when I was in 7th grade. I was at P.E one morning when my best friend walked out of the office. During recess I went up and asked her what happened. She had caught two of our classmates vaping in the boys bathroom. I was shocked. They were kids who would constantly get in trouble but I didn’t expect them to do something stupid like that! They got suspended from school for only three weeks. In my eyes, it was just a slap on the wrist. I have one of the boys in a high school class with me. The other one moved away and now has to be homeschooled. I just want to say to that second classmate, wherever you are I hope you are doing better and I hope you’ve become more mature. I wish you the best.
i appreciate the warning before the video starts
I actually have some for once.
1) a girl had a baby at one of the restaurants in my home town and after she gave birth she put the baby in the back of the toilet and died.
2) (after I graduated) my school had a chicken wing eating contest and one of the kids took a snap calling one of the kids the n word and it went viral, the rolling stones wrote an article about my school being the most racist school in America (95% white) but they got lucky that the access Hollywood tape came out at the same time. Crazy part is, when I went there (10-14) is was a very accepting school. Crazy how fast it can change
In my middle school there wasn't enough space for all the students. They had kids sitting at random tables with chairs pulled over, no desks, etc. This was a couple years after I left. The vice principal was told to keep his mouth shut. He didn't. He quit, announced publicly what was going on, and I think might've been reinstated and promoted.
In my senior year of high school we had a category in the yearbook for the student who was 'Most Likely to Appear on Watchdog' (I think Crimewatch is the US equivalent). The category was removed after the guy who won it got arrested.
I was more invested in the background gameplay than the stories because that game looks awesome
Kids threw tampons and pads everywhere. Not used ones thankfully but they had pads and tampons in the girls bathroom like just open, on the floor, stuck to the stalls, etc. and apparently one girl threw an open tampon AT a teacher.
oh i dunno if you're from the UK but that's a classic one that happens in basically every secondary school at some point here lol
@@felixhenson9926We throw poop in the US
yeah that happened to my school in middle school, some kid ran in my class and threw a wet tampon at the ceiling and ran off😂
Was this a protest or smth?
@@felixhenson9926THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE???
The year after I graduated, a new art teacher was hired because the previous retired. The new art teacher was shortly caught having relations with a minor student. Even though the name of the student was not mentioned in the media stories, I live in a small town and word travels fast so it wasn’t long before everyone knew who the student was. I, personally, heard from my sisters because they love to gossip, lol.
Also, the lady who taught my science class in eighth grade was fired in the middle of the school year for being racist and calling a poc student something super racist.
I went to an all-boys catholic middle school where lots of teachers and students were in a fringe royalist party (wanting the king to come back to power in France, that's like insanely conservative). German crosses were drawn everywhere on desks, an IT teacher got bullied out of his job by students for being Arabic, kids spread rumors about me being gay and when they had to write apology letters for a couple bullying incidents, wrote "I'm sorry for making fun of (me)'s homosexual tendencies". The word "gypsy" was made into a verb and used as a slang word for theft. Kids detonated fireworks in the yard too
Group of 14-15 years olds went to walk around the building site.
No idea how they went in there unnoticed and why there was no guards, but from what i know/remember they got to the third or fourth floor and one of them fell from that height onto the steel rods placed on the basement height level to pour the concrete later.
The guy died immediately.
School decided "not on school territory, means school doesn't care" so most of the information was from those who was on the site and teachers didn't even mention the accident to everyone. I learned about it from my then girlfriend who knew both the guy and students who were with him.
This exact thing happened to a guy I knew in high school the summer before he started college. Went to a construction site, got absolutely wasted, took a header onto the rebar. It was such a shock because he was one of those always happy, everything is always funny guys and a lot of people still believe it was an accident. I don’t. I understand severe depression and desperation. How long had he been pretending he was okay?
@@kryw10 I hid it, for 3 long years. And it took everything from me in the end, my complete ability to function. Even every breath caused physical pain. That was over 20 years ago. Medications helped me and I'm okay now. But, fuck, I've seen those darkest depths, and I won't let anyone else go through that hell if I can help it, at least not alone.
my school is one of the best in the state, but for some reason, my 4 yrs were some of the most chaotic. 1st year there was a bomb threat made by a student, swat team came and we had an early dismissal, made local news. next year, someone called one of my friends the n word for no reason (not that there is one, but he just said it). third year this girl got pregnant (very sweet girl, everyone was mean to her I felt bad), and last year it was Covid, but before that there was a student who died in a car accident and another student who got murdered over an argument with his ‘friend’.
FORGOT TO MENTION: young student teacher or substitute (can’t remember) was having *affairs* with students. she was in her 20s but it’s still extremely gross
after high school this girl and her bf got arrested for attempted murder, more people passed away unfortunately, one from suicide and one from an unforeseen seizure (perhaps induced by vaping and an undiagnosed heart condition, he was my friends brother whom I knew decently, I would’ve never guessed this would happen to him of all people).
the plot twist in story 26 was INSANE lmaoo
Had (not mine) a teacher at my school say the hard r with the intent of hate crime and went under investigation and put under house arrest and he STILL WORKS THERE cause we literally cannot get teachers for our school
Also he “teaches” WWII and proudly owns a copy of mein kampf in a way that comes off as… odd
Look up Scott’s Valley High Letter. Took place years after I graduated, but it is stomach churning.
Story 3 was definitely just a story about a teacher just wanting to be cool
For mine, one of my friends in highschool committed suicide with her cop father's gun because he left it on the kitchen counter with the safety off in their house. he got no reprocrussions for it to this day. and her boyfriend at the time who was in the same friend group as me had a rumor go around that they were in a suicide pact, he was sent down to guidance and everything over it when it wasn't even close to true. absolutely disgusting how all of this happened the way that it did.
my school is pretty boring, but the biggest "scandal" was that our superintendent was very hesitant to cancel school for any reason (for example, every other school in the area averages around 6-8 snow days every year, but under her control we've never had more than 2). When covid hit, our school system was one of the last to cancel school, and it didn't happen until all of the high schoolers (I was in middle school at the time) walked out of the school and marched down to the town hall to protest. then we got 2 weeks off, which became 2 more weeks, which became another month, which became virtual school until the end of the year, which became virtual for the first part of the following year, which then became hybrid school where we went in every other week, etc.
We had problems with students shacking up in the band practice rooms. The band hall was constructed with some practice rooms very well hidden from the rest of the school. Many students (including the band students) took advantage of this and I found out that a close friend of mine was one of these students, at her wedding. There was another incident where two freshmen were caught. (Our freshman had their own building, and their band area had less privacy). This led to our band teachers having to explain that if we didn’t want them to see what we were doing out in the open, then don’t do it in the practice rooms.
these aren’t too bad but they are still talked about even now that i’m not in high school anymore. in our school cafe someone walked into a couple when the girl was giving head to her boyfriend. an english teacher walked into girls scissoring in the girls bathroom. a few students tried to get high off listerine. for being a semi smaller school so much weird shit happened.
19:44 this OP should get respect for being an amazing storyteller and owning up to it being him at the end
The high school I graduated from - and I say this because I started high school at a different school and transferred in my sophomore year - was rated the worst high school in our district. We probably only had the same number of bad kids as any other school but we were the school that was always on the news. There was a teacher who was murdered, he and his wife both I think. And in my senior year alone, we had a bomb go off in a trashcan, which if not for the trashcan would have blown the whole school, a fire in an upstairs boy's bathroom in the building that I was having class in at the time (my teacher was the first to notice something wrong and we were the first class outside), and a code blue lock down, which is a report of a weapon on campus.
It was probably about 1995, and I was attending community college. Anyway, it was summer semester, and at precisely 10:45 AM there was a bomb threat. Everyone had to evacuate and wait for the fire department and police to search the buildings. This happened every Monday and Wednesday. Students, teachers, administrators were really frustrated because classes were always cancelled. After about a month, the school finally traced the calls. It turned out to be another student trying to get out of class. Student was arrested and subsequently expelled.
Ooh I have some fun ones from the school district I went to. About 6 years ago, the school department's superintendent embezzled tens of thousands of dollars with the school department's credit card. When I was in 8th grade, a student walked in on the principal of the school having sex with one of the math teachers in her office during school hours. The math teacher's wife was also a teacher at the school. The principal was fired and the math teacher "retired early due for "medical reasons"" and his wife divorced him. Also the town hid the fact that one of the elementary schools had almost dangerously high levels of radon contamination for DECADES and was so bad that nearly every teacher who taught in one particular wing of that school for longer than 5 years ended up with some form of cancer. The school was completely torn down and the ground had to undergo radon mitigation before the school could be rebuilt. The school department would end up losing the lawsuit several of the affected teachers filed against them.
12:26 You need to get judged guilty for something that can potentially land you for 1+ year in prison to get fired as a "Beamter" in Germany (which teachers, policemen and anyone else employed by Germany itself are). You don't need to actually get sent to prison for 1+ year to get fired, you just need to be judged guilty for something that _can_ land you in prison for that long.
omg story 54 is literally what happened in my school, only the first part (the difference is that im in an all girls school)
Im glad i live in a safe neighborhood the worst kids in my school are just annoying they dont commit crimes
I don't know why they would lock down a school for a shooter with a sawed off in a room that is already watched.. seems like a waste of time I'd be pissed
The worst one in my school was the R that happened in a stairwell during an assembly. The guy who did it got arrested as a minor and was arrested again years later when he used his job as a lawyer to R clients when they could not pay for his services as payment. Dude was charged as a level 3 offender and is currently out after serving 4 months of a 6 month jail sentence in county while his family defends him and rips down any warning posters they see around town.
This wasn’t my school but a school in my town when I was in middle school. One of the students supposedly baked her grandparents ashes into cookies, and then handed them out to students then word spread that she had put her grandparents ashes in the cookies and I believe she was expelled or suspended.

In my middle school (I was in 6th grade at the time), there was a huge scandal involving a 7th grade student and a 6th grade teacher, who so happened to be the girls basketball coach. Needless to say he was caught grooming and SAing her multiple times with multiple students, she just so happened to be his latest one at the time. Now I have many friends who were in his class and saw the same 7th grade student multiple times as she was a student helper, and they would go off to “grade papers” quite often”. Now the shocking part is that the school advisers and higher ups had known before hand about what had happened, so they quickly and quietly put him on paid leave right before spring break had started and didn’t tell the proper authorities until they were already involved . The even more shocking and might I say disturbing part, was that the principal and school advisers didn’t really address anything to the students. They tried to brush it under the rug and act like nothing had happened and then they would suspend anyone who would even talk about it. The authorities and judicial system didn’t even do any good as he was only put in jail for a couple weeks before being released on bond for 4 years, but eventually he was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
A week before my senior class graduated, one of the senior students assaulted a middle schooler.
The worst scandal to happen at my school was happening at my school while I was a student...but didn't break until YEARS later.
A teacher was having a series of affairs with students, moving on to a new one as they graduated. At least one other teacher knew about it but kept it quiet, though she thought it was very bad. This went on until she pursued a student *_most of the year,_* some of it noticed by the other students, until he complained to his parents about her and they went to the school authorities.
That student may have decided not to partake of the teacher's charms and thereby broken her streak and led to her losing her job only because she was in her fifties.
We had multiple bomb threats at my high school (NW England, '97 onwards, so during The Troubles in Ireland and there had been multiple bombings in the area previously - Manchester Arndale and Warrington had been bombed by the IRA, or the Provisional IRA or some other extremists - so it couldn't be ignored or treated as a prank). So those were some fun days worth of standing around on the playing field, lined up in our class rows & waiting for HOURS for the police and fire brigade to check the buildings.
Also the head of the music dept had a breakdown, got sick with M.E., disappeared for a few years & the last I heard he had divorced his wife and was dating one of his son's best mates. His son was NOT happy about it lol.
There was a dude apparently in our high school that was drinking dip spit. We had recycling bins and my school was gross, lots of dudes spit into bottles and instead of tossing them in the trash they’d toss them in the recycling bins that were at the front of every class. The kid doing it wasn’t in any of my classes but apparently it was such an issue that all the teachers knew about it and I accidentally over heard them speaking about it. I assume other people heard too because I’d hear people discussing it. Very gross and I guess sad because I suppose there’s an aspect of addiction in there but mostly really disgusting.
Story 4:
As a former lifeguard, let me throw my two-cents worth in. The ARC standard is two lifeguards for any number of people in the water, and one for every 20-25 people in the water. There should have been at least 3 lifeguards on deck, *not including teachers.* How many teachers you need varies, but a good rule if none of them are strong swimmers is one teacher for every *10 students.*
The stakes are literally life and death. It's an accident, sure, but it's not no one's fault. Whoever decided *one teacher and no lifeguards* was enough for a class of *60 non-swimmers,* it's *their* fault, and only one kid died this time, but in my book they're responsible for risking the lives of all of them every time they put them in the water in that situation. Rules and regulations are written in blood.
I’m so glad someone finally mentioned Steubenville rape scandal!
I have two:
When I was in 10th grade a PE teacher had to transfer to a different school, because he was in a relationship with a 12th grader (18 years old).
Shortly after I got my drivers license my driving school had to close with next to no notice, because one of the students was involved in an accident during one lesson and it came out, that the driving instructor and owner of the school, had lost his license years earlier.
Me and a bunch of other kids had photos taken of us without our consent and plastered on a hate page for everyone to make fun of us
worst scandal at my school was a teacher stabbing someone with a pencil... he was one of my geography teachers
not the poo bandit radio rebel scene
Ayyy; you’re playing the original MW1! That series made me cry, it was so good!

Story 7 is kinda relatable. My middle and high school are very close together. Like we would run a mile on their track close. One time a student threatened a teacher and the whole school and my middle school went into lockdown. Cops searched the entire school. Didn't find anything. All the HS students got to go home early. This happened back when I was in middle school. I think I was in 7th grade at the time.
Sadly, I can't give any scandal stories. I know that my school has a bunch, but I only talk to my friends [all of which have either graduated or dropped out] so I don't know what's going on :[
At my second elementary school, I was at also was my mom and aunt before as well. Once my mom told me that there was one older teacher who was teaching them who retired. Later they found out he did not really retire but he was told to leave because he was a bit too friendly with young boys. Also once our chemistry teacher told us that there was one chemistry teacher who ended his life in his office. Also in my first elementary school, there was one super grumpy IT teacher who did not really like us. A few years later I found out from my brother that that teacher was bullied by other teachers and students for being gay. Honestly, I was not really surprised because except for one single teacher all of those people were trashy people...
Went through a school where the math teacher was sleeping with half of the senior class. It was found out because she was at a party that had got busted by the police.
Same school it was a private school. One student had a mental break and rubbed feces all over a bathroom and on a drinking fountain. The next week during assembly he was called up front and spanked.
My current school has existed since 1905 so i don't even know... But my last school the biggest scandal i believe was when people broke into the school, broke things and stole money that was meant to be saved for a project that we the students were supposed to do

Story 61: The kid who went around updating everyone: Legend status achieved
Story 54: IF you don;t want the schools reputation ruined, then maybe, just maybe, don't have teachers "make whoopie" in the bathroom with other teachers. That would be a good place to start i believe.
My elementary school principal... I don't know if he did it at my school, but a couple years after he transfered he was arrested and convicted of going after young boys.
I have two of these not really massive scandals but one was relatively minor while the other was a little more serious.
The first was when a friend of mine brought a bullet casing to school (apparently for photography class) well it fell out of his pocket while in the hallway and someone found it. School goes on lockdown and its found out that its his(he took responsibility) and is brought to the principles office. Nothing really happened to him other then a warning. He had no gun or any other weapon and the casing was harmless. Don't really know much else because it was kept surprisingly quiet. He was big into the military and even owned world war 2 gear including a helmet. Still the coolest guy I know.
The second one was a lot worse. A kid in sophomore year threatened to stab one of the girls in our school. Parents found out and called police. Kid gets arrested while we're in English class. This was on a Thursday and he came back Monday. Didn't talk much about what happened but he was all smiles and nervous laughter. He ended up moving schools the next year. Last I heard he was in jail for unrelated crimes but that was back in 2020 so he could be out now. As for the girl he threatened very few knew who it was. One of the girls in my Science and English class knew but she never told.
Those are the ones i went through but two others happened where a group of students destroyed a statue on school grounds and another where a student destroyed bathroom stall doors for whatever reason.
Not my school or my story- this happened at my friend’s school a few decades ago. A chemistry teacher there was revealed to have a secret side hobby: he had spent the last few years planting pipe bombs at government buildings and sending anonymous threats to the police about it. For a chem teacher his bombs were (thankfully) surprisingly ineffective, the only injury anyone received was a broken bone from flying shrapnel. Still, absolutely wild to think about
My old high school started to accept kids from juvenile. During the spring, one of those kids started flexing his gun he brought to school on social media. The school decided to manufacture outrage by calling it a charging block, then banning portable chargers.
technically this wasn’t my high school but i did go to it for band class (it was an all boys school and i went to an all girls school like a block away) but there was this assistant band teacher that i’ve known since middle school, he could be a stickler sometimes but otherwise a good teacher, all of a sudden in the middle of my sophomore year he was fired and nobody knew why, i still don’t know why and i think it’s because it’d lead to a big scandal like this, rumors went around of a used condom being found in his office, assaulting the cheerleaders that worked with us, or having an affair at school with another teacher, all i know is that there’s a reason why the school hasn’t come clean about their reasoning.
At my secondary school, we had an escaped prisoner run into our school! The alarm went, and we had to stay in our classrooms until the police caught them. The police eventually caught them! And we were late to our last lessons!
Nowhere near as bad as some of these, but we had a science teacher literally get banned from teaching the final two years of students (the ones doing their exams) because our entire class group completely flunked one of her modules. She was that bad at teaching
At ours... was our Female English teacher ruining her marriage and getting fired after sleeping with a 17yo student from the football team.
It was kind of a shame because she was a young (mid20s) teacher who was really good at engaging all her students in learning, while being very 'cool' and laid back about things so long as you did your work. She was a very effective and well liked teacher.
Being that she was so well liked, it really rocked the school when she was (as she should have been) promptly fired and a criminal investigation was opened.
Not sure if she got charges or not in the end, all I know is she effectively ruined her relationships, her life and her career prospects.
Hazing has become much more widely talked about lately. I remember my first year at a church youth camp they had an initiation prank called "ooga booga" where you had to copy the dance the senior girl showed you to become an "ooga booga princess", and the prank was that they put a wet sponge/washcloth into the seat behind you for you to sit on. I actually was kind of disappointed when they discontinued it by the time my sister was a firsty and I was a senior, probably because it was a kind of hazing. I also got dragged on a snipe hunt with some younger girls (another classic prank in my church youth groups)
30:49 This story reminds me of South Park with Mr Mackey fixated on who made a dookie in the urinal in the boy’s bathroom 😂
I went to a Christian school:
Two married teachers (to other people) had an affair. Not the school's business, right? They had people stand in the parking lot at pickup time and pass this information to all the parents to "inform them", then they announced it to the students and brought in grief counselors to help students who were upset about it.
In what world is it ok to announce your employees extra-marrital affair to their students and their students' parents?
Recently I found out the reason one of the teachers I had from 8th grade to 11th-12th grade was fired for raping one of my classmates in the parking lot at the back of the school. We knew he was dropped for something related to minors but we figured it was something like sexting (still terrible).
The extra details was that the person he did it to was dragged from the classroom he taught us in. The only reason he got caught was because a student or member of staff walked in on it, catching him red handed.
The poor kid (the one it happened to) was probably terrified to be in the classroom again (but every single one of my classmates did in fact return to aforementioned classroom after he left so bloody hell did they have guts).
Not my school, but I did some IT work for the DC Public Schools. Each school is given its own technology budget, and can buy whatever it wants with it, at least through approved vendors. As a result, there's next to no standardization (except all the computers are Lenovo; ugh). Some use it wisely and have amazing learning setups for the kids, and others redirect most of the money into other stuff and their equipment is garbage.
If you want to know why I said ugh earlier, how about having to update hundreds of laptops to fix a firmware bug that affects charging? Firmware issues are all too common with Lenovo machines, and I've always just found them quirky with bad design decisions. I know they're considered reliable, and I respect that. But I hate supporting them because of things like that.
It wasn’t just my school but my class. Someone actually poop on one of the school desk. The teacher spend an excruciating long time to tell the class what happened. He keep saying someone who do such a thing is mentally ill and needs help. We should therefore tell who did it. I had no idea and just wished he would just say what happened. Never did find out who did the crass thing
As a born and raised Swede I can answer the narrator’s question on the last story and can confirm that yes, Swedish laws are in fact that fucked up. Our justice system is basically nonexistent. A friend of mine got molested when we were 11 y/o and I had to go to the police station for questioning. Having to recount the details she had told us of the disgusting things he did to her was traumatizing. Did the dude get charged? Nope. Did he get ANY type of punishment? Nope.
Me and my friends were TERRIFIED if we saw him or his car while out just walking around doing random stuff kids do. I am 22 now and still get a pit in my stomach if I see a car even resembling the car he drove. Our lack of punishment and accountability of literal SA OFFENDERS pisses me off everyday. It’s my biggest grief I have with this country.
1. A wave of suicides. This happened nearly a decade before I had entered the high school. My nana's neighborhood made a "LOVE" fence as a small memorial for all those lost kids. By the time I started working, nearly 13-ish years after that horrendous year I figured out that the school was still known as "Suicide High".
2. My senior year: at least 4 math teachers all "resigned" for various reasons. One was just down right cruel and some kid with an IEP had parents who made a stink. One asked a girl of she masturbated because she was wearing a "Self Love" shirt (he had also paused class to ask this, so there were about 30 witnesses). One was put on administrative leave after raising his fist and saying "white power" and just so happened to "resign" when he was due back. He was also really creepy towards girls and was awful at teaching. The other one "resigned" when he was caught flirting with an underage girl on a school trip after supplying her with alcohol.
3. Bomb threat. I was in third grade at the time.
4. The middle school 8th grade boys bathroom incidents.
5. Failing to follow students IEPs properly.
during my sophomore year of high school there was a DEAD FISH found in one of the urinals, and its blood was EVERYWHERE. i never saw it firsthand since im a girl but i saw pictures and it was disgusting. idk if the person who did it ever got caught, but i think the school shut down all but one of the bathrooms on each floor for a bit, which is normal whenever a student or group of students get into trouble in the bathrooms
Sophomore year not super scandalous but the school canceled the seniors 'break the dress code' day but most still participated and they tried to shut them down in the worst way possible demanding (girls mostly) that they change right there. One even outside the entrance and when she asked to go to the bathroom to change they said no
It is bad when you said the story about the guy surging a house fire and his throat getting slit I imagined Sgt Elias from Platoon
Story 1 took about 7 left turns I wasn’t expecting omg what
You're my favorite reddit telltale channel Undersparked please keep it up I love your videos!
Holy macaroni that first story
Ah yes the pooh bandit.
34:21 deeply Christian and most of us don't hate we disagree
i think i may have actually been attending the very middle school mentioned in story # 7 because i remember the exact same situation from when i was in 6th or 7th grade
