One of the teachers put cameras in the girls toilets (age range 5-9). Got let off because he was "and upstanding member of society" with his long tenure at the school taken into account.
Teacher broke my arm for writing left-handed.
I think we all need to know…
Are you left handed?
Yes.
Oh 😳! I can't imagine what they would have done if you wrote "fuck teachers"or something. Savage.
She was just a nutcase. Hit my scrawny little arm with a ruler and crack. She did get fired, so that was funny at least.
Was that in the 60s/70s, Irish / UK?
Couldn't be, they weren't beaten to death with a wooden stick
I don't know if all of these are scandals, but certainly bad behavior:
Then I changed schools.
Sounds like you went to school in a Stephen King novel. Rest in peace girl.
Holy fuck. What country was it? Some kind of small forgotten by world country where time stopped during apartheid?
I think they were all the US
- Group of students were holding a protest which involved stepping on the flag of the United States.
that was depressing tbh
A kid in our high school went on national news and said he could procure weed in the school in less than 3 minutes. He then proved it. Made national headlines and became a big topic in parliament.
Of course they went looking for the stoner, found him, and then asked him to source the source of what made him stoned. Kinda self-explanatory but the news didn’t seem to think so.
Oh, and in primary school, I think I was “the incident”. I hacked the schools computer network and made all PCs boot into a message that read “Teachers are dumb”. It really wasn’t very sophisticated, at all, but shut the computers down for a week while they had “experts” in to clean them up.
When I told the expert that having the PCs optionally boot from floppy and this allowed me full access to all the PCs, including the control server through which they distributed autoexec.bat updates to them all … well he sold me like I was some kind of sophisticated wiz-kid that needed containment. I got a life time ban from the computer labs. The kid that squeeled on was ostracised by everyone else (I had made up with him quite quickly, I knew I shouldn’t have told him and sort of blamed myself).
there used to be a tradition in my high school where seniors would pull some kind of prank. in my freshman year, a group of kids pulled an amazing prank where they put glue in all the door locks in the school. when everyone got there the next morning, nobody could get into the buildings. most of the students just went home that day before the administration got some semblance of a handle on things, and the remainder of us were herded into the gym for half the day as they started getting classrooms opened. almost all of the locks had to be replaced, costing thousands of dollars, the school of course lost substantial funding from all the walkouts that day, and the kids responsible were caught and faced criminal charges.
there was not another senior prank as long as i was there.
School trip to the neighboring Town
First class, someone put a "help kidnapping" paper sign in the back window
Wasn't seen until the second class that got transported got pulled off the road from the special police force
A teacher got caught for child luring online
The Dean of Discipline at my Catholic High School was soliciting minors for sex during the time I was there. https://warwickonline.com/stories/assistant-principal-on-leave-pending-investigation-of-alleged-solicitation-on-web,34242
There apparently has been another controversy another controversy there as well.
A student spiked a teacher's drink with acid. The morning of that day, the kid that got arrested told me he wanted to fight me after school for talking to a girl he liked.

The baseball team at my high school would haze freshmen by sodomizing them with a baseball bat. This made it to the news and we suddenly didn't have a senior baseball team that year.
Teacher had a relationship with a student. When he got caught, the court forbade him from having contact with the student. Some teachers went over to his house and caught him with the student anyway. He ended up in jail for a number of years.
Oh shit.. can't imagine her parents' displeasure LOL
Nothing as fun, but just a heavy corruption scandal. The director of the school was apparently pocketing a lot of the money from school funding initiatives, and offloading a lot of the purchases that were supposed to be done onto the last year students. I remember our class being chosen to buy new furniture for an entire classroom in the name of "giving something back".
Pre-Columbine mass shootings: Some kid rode his bike up the stairs during class changes and was denied walking the stage at his graduation for "seriously endangering himself and the entire student body."
He rode is bike UP the stairs? That's crazy, y'all must've had small steps or something or dude must've been built different
He was a wiry little guy, the steps were steep. It was rather comical, he started at the end of the hallway and just went hard. We all thought he was on cocaine, but who knows?
Grade school: teacher fired for passing failing students so he wouldn’t have to deal with them next year. This was before “no child left behind” existed. At the end of one of the school years a girl tripped and fell and somehow got a metal tent spike through her neck. She was ok, just had a wicked scar.
Middle school: someone did the old flush the fireworks thing and somehow revealed a major flaw in the plumbing that required demolishing a whole building. We didn’t have water on campus for the last month. This was in Phoenix and it was getting stupid hot, so that whole month was half days.
High school: At the end of the year before I started a bunch of students got arrested for using an empty science lab to make meth. In my junior year there was a party that got a couple kids killed in a drive by.
Fired for passing failing students. At this point in North America teachers have to pass failing students! I'm not US American so I am not sure if "No Child Left Behind" means no failing, though I remember it was a Bush jr policy that lowered standards.
Sounds like you went to very "active" middle and high schools!
The no child left behind policy was intended to ensure that kids got extra help when needed. In reality schools determined it was way easier to lower the bar than to get some kids to learn. Kids and shitty parents have figured this out and will game the system as much as possible. Clear on it being a baby bush policy. FWIW I think the intent was good, but making more demands of the education without providing additional resources and no way of enforcing quality has reached an inevitable point.
A couple years before my time, but a cheerleader was assaulted and killed on campus while waiting to meet up with her team.
There was a kid that shit his pants at my middle school. Left a little nugget that slid out of his basketball shorts in the hallway. I guess there was also some on his seat which nobody noticed until a girl in the next class sat in it.
Derailing a small train at a zoo.
Two kids smeered their shit on the bathroom walls then climbed on the roof. There was some much more serious stuff but that was the funnier one I guess.
It was in the countryside as well, so we'd get a farm animal wandering about the grounds about once a year which was always exciting.
Elementary school, I think it was second grade. Our class went to the music room for our hour with the music teacher. First girls in the room saw him at his computer looking at pictures of himself with naked girls doing gymnastics. I was in the back and didn't see it but I heard later he created the pictures with Photoshop. The weeks after that everyone was interviewed about him, mostly focusing on the girls. He would often have them sit on his lap during class (this was the 80s and we were young, didn't seem weird at the time).
The cool thing about the whole situation was I had called him a bad name the day before and he said I was going to get a referral (bad note on my record). He was gone before he had a chance.
We had a few days a year when lessons were suspended and students attended self organized activities instead.
An entire class decided to sneak out instead, went to a bar and some students got drunk before coming back to school. One such student went to the bathroom, zipped up his pants without properly storing his equipment and ended up requiring medical attention including some stitches.
I never met the guy or even know who he was, but the whole school was talking about it for a week or more.
Middle school had a teacher arrested for doing things with students. High school had the riot and the school went into lockdown. Great being in one of the only classrooms that had auto locking doors. Students late to class that day were yelling to be let in and we couldn't.
Not exactly a big one, but two of our teachers were fucking. Everytime he came into her classroom to get something they were really flirty with each other. They didn't know that we knew.
Someone (allegedly) fucked the principal's dog
In middle school, a kid got caught masturbating in study hall. I never saw him again after that. Word was that he moved away out of embarrassment. Parents probably just home schooled him or something.
In a completely different direction, my class broke the "suicide school" moniker. We were the first graduating class in like 10 years to not have a suicide.

There was this asshole teacher, one of his students stole his car and crashed it through a set of double doors into the building. Destroyed the entire entryway and both sets of heavy duty doors.
Epic, man. Everyone hated that teacher and he had bought one of the new VW bugs when they first started making the new ones and he thought it was just so cool.
I mean, being the little shit I was, I sneaked past my teachers and pulled the fire alarm and gave everyone in school an unscheduled fire drill.
There was this smoking hot witchy girl, and some of the jocks found her bag and shit in it. None of them got in trouble for it, her family sued but I don't know if anything came of that.
Someone on a weeklong school volunteering trip was sent home early for pooping in a urinal. It made waves even during summer vacation.
Let me assure you, there is nothing funny... about going up to a nice, clean, unsuspectin' urinal, 'kay, droppin' your pants then... turnin' around... squattin' over that urinal, 'kay, maybe... maybe pullin' your buttcheeks apart with your hands, m'kay, and then layin' out a big fudge dragon for all the world to see.
Two kids were caught with enough fuel oil and fertilizer at their homes to blow up a city block. This was well before Fight Club so I'm not sure where they got the idea from.
A girl got raped in the library:(
Not me, but my producer. Long story short, he said some nasty things in regards to threatening assault (though he was very... shall I say, calm about it) before an event because he was anticipcaing a ton of dishonesty to show up from the student council. This was during his sophomore year at his Seventh Day Adventist school, mind you.
He would be suspended for a week for making such threats, though he know what he did was a Jesuit act against them, and he could've been expelled for going through with his threats (they were empty threats, as he was held back from getting violent like he was demon possessed). He had a a lot of influence within the school's circles back in the day (more than he realized looking back).
The "class clown" who was always instigating shit ended up being escorted out of the hallway by two coppers while I was in class. he'd started a fight outside during lunch break. i was sitting next to my friend in class shortly after break finished and we were both giggling so bad while facepalming because that was so him
Besides the school shooting? Wish I was kidding. On a more fun note, another quiet kid decided to just rub his shit all over the walls with red food coloring to make it look bloody. Also had a fight club ring pop up at lunch with 4-5 concurrent fights before it got broken up.
I'd rather take the bottom two over a school shooting. Kids these days need to be more original like that
