The computer he was using was slow and crappytoo so he couldn't quickly exit the video. It went on for a good 30 seconds before someone pulled the plug on the screen around the same time he lobbed the laptop about 30 feet across the class.

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

Man do I got a story for this one. I apologize for the length but its worth a read.

So I got a job as a PE teacher/coach at a K-12 school. It was the beginning of my second year and rumors were going around about a teacher having a relationship with a student. I just thought it was a rumor and moved on. A few days later we have a cross country meet and i have to get to the school at 5:30 am to leave for the meet. I noticed another car in the parking lot, which was gated closed, and no one around. This has never happened so I called one of the other coaches and he was not sure and found it strange. I dont think much of it and go about my day. We get back from the meet around noon and the car is still there.

Turns out it is one of the high school teachers car that was left from the day before. I thought it was car troubles and decided to not think much of it. I arrive back to school on Monday and boy howdy did sh*t hit fan. The car was left at over the weekend not because of car troubles but much. Much. MUCH worse reasons.

The car was left over the entire 48 hour weekend because the teacher who owned the car had a mental breakdown in class, couldn't control it and had his sister, who also worked at the school, take him home. He had a breakdown because his gf broke up with him. His gf... was HIS STUDENT. So once the story was confirmed the police came and searched his classroom. His classroom had empty liquor bottles in the desk and his room was a mess.

The teacher was fired and that was the last I heard of him. However, the story doesn't end there folks. Because the sister of the convicted teacher was behind everything. Helped them arrange dates, meet ups, and covered for him to keep the story hidden. She was fired a week later.

I left the education world after that semester and never looked back.

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

Probably deserving of a reprimand of some sort, but not getting fired.

He was playing his guitar for students at my elementary school. He had been warned before, but the kids enjoyed it so he continued to play it for them anyways.

One day, the assistant principal was lurking in the hallway and wandered to his classroom. She saw him playing his guitar and fired him on the spot. A whole lot of students were crying that day because he was an amazing guy.

Edit: More information, this took place in a small, rural town in Georgia back in the early 2000s. He wasn’t the music teacher, he just used to bring his guitar and play songs randomly on some days and the kids enjoyed it. He’d been warned multiple times by his higher ups (why? IDK. He was a great teacher). He thought that before the break, he could play something for us one last time during the last week of school. It just happened to be the worst possible timing, while the assistant principal was walking through the halls. He didn’t come back to teach at our school when classes started again. If I recall, he got a job teaching at a different school.

Coach/History teacher of course. First off some of the early warning signs we all should have noticed first.

He showed up the first day of school and told us he was a youth minister and that we would always see him in long sleeves and pants because he had tattoos and he regrets them. That he didn't want to accidentally encourage any of us to get some too. Two weeks later he is in shorts and polo shirts showing off multiple looney toons tattoos.

He taught 6th grade US History out of a textbook. Word for word. We did multiple chapters a day and were expected to do every assignment listed for each chapter. This averaged about 3 hours of work a day. In 6th grade. He was the only class that year to regularly assign homework and he received multiple parent complaints about the workload.

He would often leave the class alone to read chapters. He would then go out to the hall or parking lot to make out with his girlfriend who would arrive randomly.

He was the middle school track coach and thus spent a lot of time in and around the middle school locker rooms. Too much time....

He took photos of the kids running for the yearbook. These pictures eventually made it onto his work computer desktop. Then his phone background. Only the girls though.

But the final straw that got us out of his care. He showed up to a middle school basketball game drunk and tried to yell at the ref.

He was fired that day and not allowed back on campus.

She had fallen off the wagon and was drinking a lot to the point where it was affecting her memory. We kept doing the same lecture on density in sixth grade science for a month, until one my classmates decided to ask another teacher about it. From there she went to rehab.

If anyone wants more context. She was our homeroom and science teacher. She was very nice, and married to our assistant principal, so she had a little bit more leeway. While she was able to remain sober for a while, she eventually passed away do the effects of her addiction a few years after this. She never seemed like a bad teacher, but she was always stressed to the absolute maximum, always felt like she was working from behind, and generally struggling to keep up. You know, the traditional tail end of the "functioning" addict lifestyle.

Teachers at my high school got fired on a pretty regular basis (principal was a narcissist) but here's one of the rare ones we actually heard about.

The school went into lockdown because someone was seen hopping over the fence onto campus at the start of the school day. Freshman geography teacher locked his door, didn't control his class, wouldn't let one of the students back in, and jumped at every sound he heard.

For comparison, the sub in senior literature next door didn't have a key to lock the door, but grabbed the handle, got on the floor, and planted both his feet on the frame so that the door couldn't be opened. I think the dude was a linebacker for football, too.

He was a wonderful friendly and handsome teacher. This girl had a crush. Some bi*ch told the teacher about this girl’s crush. The teacher felt awkward and avoided her eyes from then on. Girl got hurt. Complained to the principal that he was being creepy with her. All the heads( which included my father) were called for a meeting with him. He got sick of defending himself. Shouted:’fu*k you’ll’ and left the school. They fired him before he could hand out his resignation.

Edit: to clarify some things- it was one of the best schools and all the richie rich kids studied there (i studied because my father was a faculty, otherwise we don’t have so much money) and hence teachers were dealt with very harshly. On one occasion, a teacher was fired only because it seemed on the cameras that he hit a boy hard. The parents complained and he was fired the next day, without listening to him at all. My father knew that he just patted him, but the kid was spoiled and he lied, also the teacher was a junior one.

I mentioned my father so that you’ll know how i know what happened in the meeting. He just knew that a girl has complained and now they are called. Also the teacher we are talking about was EVERY student’s favourite. So other teachers were jealous and they all assumed he is very lenient and encourages us to not follow other teachers and stuff, so it might have made it hard for him to say he stayed professional always.

My senior year, I had to take physics to be able to get into college and I was one of two people to originally sign up. I talked the twin daughters of the superintendent, the son of the school board president, and the daughter of the shop teacher into taking physics so I could get my needed credit to get into my college. 10 weeks in to physics, we were still working on vectors (a force has a direction and magnitude ). Nothing more complex than addition of them. The connected kids pretended to not understand so he couldn't move on. He he finally announced he had to actually start teaching physics. They refused to do homework or take his help. The twins and the superintendent's son all got Fs on their grade cards and he was fired next day.

In high school we had a perverted teacher who'd organize his class by putting the girls in skirts up front, girls in pants in the middle and guys at the back. He'd then occasionally drop things so that he'd have to bend down to get it so he could look up the girls' skirts. Weird thing is most of the conventionally pretty girls found it hilarious and started making a game out of it. They'd challenge each other over lunch breaks (my class had him right after) to see who could make him pop an erection the quickest. So now you had this gaggle of attractive 16 year old girls also dropping things, leaning over their desks and calling him over to ask questions quietly because they were "too embarrassed to ask it out loud". He did end up getting fired about a year or so later but none of us clicked how inappropriate any of that was until many years later...

Met a girl in rehab that taught special needs middle schoolers that was there for heroin addiction (smoked it, not inject). She admitted to me that she was using during class, in the bathroom or during lunch and recess. Left early since her husband left her for this. Saw on the news about two years later, she got caught with meth, heroin and needles at the school during school hours because she kept going to her car repeatedly throughout the day. Obviously fired, but never served any prison time for this. The local news made her out to be a victim.

When I was in 7th, the school hired a new 6th English teacher. She got arrested on a DUI 18 hours into her school career. Never saw her again.

These stories are all fantastic but I really want to hear the craziest thing a teacher should have gotten fired for but didn't. Or just the craziest thing a teacher did.

My husband had one of his first teaching jobs at a local high school. He loved it. A few weeks later a new tenant moved in below us. She was odd but ok and had a sweet 4yo daughter. Found out she was hubby's principal's estranged wife and kid. She was also a stripper ( not that there's anything wrong with that just saying). A few months into her living below us we hear her screaming and begging for her life. Hubby runs down the stairs connecting our apartments to make sure she's ok. Principal is there beating the s**t out of her in front of their kid. Sees my hubby (300+ lbs in nothing but boxer briefs) and asks we'd are you doing here? Hubby kicks his ass out of the house. Principal tries to run hubby over with his hummer. A month or so go by, principal never mentions incident to hubby at work. All is good. Until principal freaks out that his wife got a ride home from work by a customer because her car broke down.

For some reason he was waiting for her at our home. She saw him and told the guy to keep driving. Principal chased them and at some point began shooting at their car (a state cop witnessed it). After a chase he wrecked his hummer on a local highway driving the wrong way( nobody hurt thank god). Arrested but still not fired. The firing came 6 or so months later when 1) he was found to have been selling off his school's computers and 2) he was arrested selling cocaine to under cover cops. After he got out of jail he worked at a tire retailer until they found that he had been stealing from them. Hubby is still a teacher. A really good one btw. Stripper mom is now a full on sex worker. The daughter was in and out of foster care now an adult. Dang that was long.

As a US teacher - you don't get fired on the spot - you have a school board review first. You have union representation. Etc. etc. Also for some of these I bet there were already warnings and other disciplinary notes in their file. Were these private schools?

My 1st grade teacher was dating my principal even though he was married and had 3 kids. Neither of them got fired, but they were moved to separate schools. Not as interesting as some of these though. （⊙ｏ⊙）

Had a music teacher get fired because he was gay and his boyfriend proposed to him. The school was okay with him being gay as long as he stayed single. The sad thing is they ended up divorced three years later.

I want to remark that this post (like msot in BP) is extremely USA centric. There are some people who pretend that BP is always criticizing USA but they never realise that most of the neutral or positive posts are also about USA.

Some of these are criminal behaviours. Some others are simple misdemeanors or accidental (eg. the lesbian video: embarrassing? YES. Inappropriate? YES. Criminal? No). Seems to me people get fired very easily here.

A teacher from my middle was arrested last year for child exploitation and distributing inappropriate child images. Another teacher was just a horrible person all around. She would get into multiple arguments per class every day and would send you to the principles office for things as small as not writing notes in the format she wanted us to. She got one girl's father banned from the school. And to top it all off she taught us literally nothing during the whole time she was there and she would yell at people for asking questions. Even the other teachers hated her. She got fired after a couple of months thankfully.

I was fired for joking with students after school, while waiting for a parent-teacher conference. I made a comment about the boy who drew in sharpie, 100 penises on brand new oak furniture, it wasn't anything all that bad, but the girls had planned on baiting a teacher and posting online to embarrass. I didn't realize this and NY is a one consent state. It was after school, the girl was eighteen had received a 95 in my class the year before, I thought she liked me and we had a good relationship. I was stupid. I lost a million dollars in wages, pension, and savings through the tax-deferred savings plan, had I been able to teach until my retirement, 4 years later. Pension is based on last three years, and the new negotiated salary would have bumped my pay up considerably. I am now living in financial distress. I put in 16 years, but needed the last 4 years to get a good pension. It was devastating to my life. I have never recovered.

The wife of one of my best friends was fired for sleeping with two of her male students - she was the PE teacher and soccer coach. They divorced and she was put on the sex offenders list - probation, no jail time. My friend got custody of their child and the mom can’t take her to b-day parties because other kids are present. She was early 30s when it happened and the boys were 16 & 17. She was also hot.

My sixth grade teacher had been debating retiring for years, but the school forced her to do it after they heard how badly she’d treated me and two of my friends (for no reason I might add). She treated me probably the worst because I hadn’t wanted to be her “pet” at the beginning of the year and shied away. So, she aided my bullies, agreed with whatever they said and helped them permanently ruin my self image, punished me whenever I fought back, and told me I’d go nowhere in life and was a failure. All because I didn’t want to be her pet.

Poorly edited post, About half of these aren't anything like 'almost unbelievable' and were included merely because someone sent stuff in. Editor should make friends with wastebasket.

Poorly edited post. About half of these don't come close to qualifying as 'almost unbelievable.' Don't include dull, worthless stuff just because someone has sent it in: it seriously dilutes quality.

I had teachers that probably should have been fired, but we were the tail end of the baby boom and schools needed a lot of teachers. They just couldn't afford to let any go unless the behaviour was particularly bad.

My fifth grade teacher said to me"I wish I could adopt you so I could harass you all day" She either talked about or actually also stapled a kid to the wall, which was funny to everyone, including the kid. I can't remember if it happened. looking back, how she could get away with it and not to mention ruin his clothes.
