“We Never Saw Him Again”: 30 Incidents, Varying From Ridiculous To Shocking, That Got Teachers Sacked That teacher was my step-dad. He got fired for being physically abusive to his students. Good for the students! Bad for me and my siblings who could not just fire him.

As a side note, the only place he could get a job after that was on a reservation. He started pulling that s**t with those students and there was no long, drawn out firing process. They just vandalized our house and trashed the car. Done and done. I admired the f**k out of those rez kids.

Biology teacher was fired when the principal saw how a student yelled and threw a test on the teacher’s face. The teacher already had some clashes with school authorities so they used that situation to fire her because “she didnt show authority over the students”. A few years later I entered a bakery store and there was my old teacher she was the owner of the store, happy and her employees spoked very well about her.

Next time the kid got bullied he f*****g tore into the bully and started pounding him in the head with a trashbin lid.

The written confirmation got used to succesfully demand both students suffered the same consequences, especially after the student showed he had received confirmation that he wouldn't be punished more severely for fighting back.

From that point "Can I get that in writing?" was basically a get-out-of-jail-free-card.

He got personally escorted out of a school once for doing “black magic” for 5th graders….. he did a card trick…. And he was in the process of cutting a sheet of paper in a way that makes it possible to walk thru it. He is currently banned for life from Deer Park public schools in WA.

Side note: when I went to visit once we went to a bar. The bartender said, “Holy s**t, it’s [insert full name] Dude! I named my bong after you, Mr. [name]! I guess he really influenced the youth 🤷🏼‍♂️

He volunteered to stand near the trash cans during lunch every day to ensure the students dumped their food and gave their finished trays to the cafeteria workers in an organized way. He had done this for decades. Even when my father attended that junior high.

One day, a student decided to toss her entire tray in the trash instead of dumping the contents and giving it to the cafeteria work. He removed the tray from the trash and gave it back to her. She threw a carton of chocolate milk at his face, close range. He responded by punching her in the eye.

The other chemistry teacher couldn't take over all the vacant hours, but she gave us a 3 week crash course at the end of the year. I learned more in those 3 weeks than I did in the first 6 months with the fired guy.

The class was broken off into two days and one day you’d spend all day in class learning and the next day you’d spend time in the lab to learn the experiments. The problem with this system is we’d take a test, fail, and when we went to our lab we would learn everything we needed to know for that test we had just failed. As a class we came to her and explained to her what was going on and she caught attitudes with us every time. The worst part is instead of stepping up and trying to help us find a solution she’d hit us with the “when I was in school no one helped me” and followed that up with telling us to just read our text book. At one point there was homework that was supposed to be assigned and when she asked for it we got confused. Turns out she never posted it for us to do so when we told her that, she blamed us and told us we should’ve said something to her about the homework not being posted. The class I was in ended up having a 25 out of 27 people failing the class with the remaining people barely passing. We gave her a review and what I didn’t know at the time was not only did my entire class leave a bad review with their own stories but her other two classes also left bad reviews. She was fired the last day of classes.

So he just left. Can no longer be employed in the district because of it I heard.
Everybody loved him too. One of the few teachers who really cared about his job and his students. The lady they brought in to replace him did nothing wrong but nobody could truly replace him. The whole class dropped about 5 points in grade because of it.

One of the good things about being a federal employee was that a person could donate annual leave to another employee. Someone recovering from a serious injury or needing to be off work for a family situation like this could go through HR to request leave donations and other employees who didn't use all their annual leave could go to HR and transfer some to the other employee. It's a good policy and I think other workplaces should use it.

There was this awesome teacher, Mr. V. He was witty, funny, and cared for his students dearly. His lessons were always captivating and interesting, the most boring topics came to life and made you a participant and give a genuine vested interest.

There was another teacher, Mrs. Jugs. She was very attractive. Blonde, perfect hourglass figure, and very well kept.

At the staff Christmas Party Mr. V, who was unsurprisingly well-liked by all the other staff asked Mrs. Jugs to get some more drink (not sure if it was punch or alcoholic). She obliged. She came back holding two drinks in her hands in very festive cups.

Mr V, "Nice cups. Thanks for the drink."
Mrs. Jugs "Excuse me? What?"
Mr. V, "The cups, they're nicely decorated. Better then the red ones. You filled them up nicely too. Thanks."
Mrs Jugs walks away.

Next day Mr. V has a sexual harassment suit against him. He's upset, married man of 25 years, faithful to his wife (he would always mention her or say how they spent their weekend together etc). Ended up getting terminated after working at the same school for 15 years. Mrs. Jugs was their her first year.

So, then he suspected that she was sleeping with a student. He then hired a private investigator and had her followed. She found out about it, went to the cops, requested a restraining order, and he was bought up on stalking charges.

(It was discovered that she was sleeping with the student).

Edit: He was fired. I don't recall her facing any sort of discipline. It was the 17 year old, star basketball player. It all started because he was bragging. The rumors of her dating a student started well before the teacher started pursuing her. The rejected teacher hired a private investigator because he heard the rumor mill.

Most people in the school thought the two teachers were dating because the male teacher was always in her classroom, even during class hours. He would buy her flowers often. She was the cheerleaders coach, and he was always sitting in on her practices after school.

The male teacher abruptly stopped going to her class and going around her. The private investigator and stalking accusations came 2 months after that. Everyone figured he had her followed/investigated after he was rejected.

We actually had a teacher that was angry all the time. She was one of those teacher that had a list of rules, and if you broke one, you had to write it down a hundred times on paper and hand it in. One kid, who was well liked, had to write "I will not talk during class" 100 times. We all pitched in and wrote a page worth of them for him. He turned it in, raised his hand to get his name off the board. She ignored him..he spoke up...she slammed a book on the desk and gave him detention. She said "If you have a problem with it, see me after class." We all waited after class and watched as the two of them screamed at each other. One of the guy in class snapped a picture of it and it ended up in the yearbook at the end of the teacher's section, vein popping out on her forehead. She was gone the next semester.

I should add that the reason I knew about all three was that my mum worked for the school and was a little more free in sharing the staff room gossip than she perhaps should have been!

My 11th grade English teacher was special. She ran the school newspaper so our classroom was shared with the newsroom, where she spent most of her time. Last period of the day. She was always busy with the paper. Total free for all. Super, super easy. Then, something happened. She got her job review. I don't think it was expected but I know she didn't like it. By the time our class showed up at last period, she was on fire. She told us that she had been grading us on a curve. Not just tests, but homework, classwork, essays, everything. She went down the roll call and one by one she read us OUT LOUD our adjusted grade, our faults, failures, ending with a personal observation and our 'real' grade without adjustment. Surprise, the entire class failed. She sulked in the newsroom for the rest of the period, while we tried to absorb what we did wrong. Because that's what happens when you tell a room full of teenagers that they're failures. Special.

1/2 This is a retirement rather than a dismissal story but it was the funniest thing a then-fifteen-year-old me ever witnessed. Adult me feels bad about it but not that much. Okay, it's the end-of-year assembly. Every kid in the school is in the great hall where these things were held. Long, and boring as hell, but it got you out of first period so swings and roundabouts. A little context first about the teacher who it's about to be announced is retiring: absolutely vile and a bully. Made Miss Trunchbull look like Miss Honey. None of her pupils could stand her. I never had her as a teacher (she taught English) but she gave me a verbal bollocking a couple of times for no reason. Back to the assembly. Headmaster is up on the stage handing out awards and prefect badges and such and then just before wrapping up makes a few announcements, one of which is that 'Catty' as she was un-affectionately known because her chin for all the world made her resemble a house cat was retiring and...

2/2 ...this was to be her last day. Throughout the great hall, from what must have been hundreds of kids, there came the uniform cry of "YEEESSSS!!!" She was standing at the back of the hall at the time and I do not think it was the reaction she was expecting. She was apparently inconsolable and in floods of tears. Yeah, I know, I feel a little sorry for her as well in retrospect, but she really was horrible.

My senior year was at a small school with a rule that if less than 6 students signed up for a class, they didn't have to offer it. I needed physics to be able to get accepted to colleges so I rounded up the superintendent's twins, the son of the school board president, the shop teacher's daughter, and one other kid who needed physics to get into college to take the class. All four connected kids ignored the teacher in class, refused to do homework, and refused to come in for help because they didn't need the class and "knew" they couldn't fail it. We spent 6 weeks on introduction to vectors before the teacher finally moved on. A vector is something with an magnitude (8 mph wind) and direction (East). We spent 6 weeks "learning" that. Teacher failed all 4 for the year and was immediately fired days after graduation. He won Michigan teacher of the year at his next school and was a finalist for the national teacher of the year award twice.

We had a music teacher that was well liked and would often help kids out or participate in after school stuff. One of his students was infatuated with him and we all had a huge hunch she hit on him but he declined (new baby, was happily married, never showed any interest in teens). She got him fired by claiming he graped her even though the lawsuit proved him *innocent*. That b***h immediately went on to screw half the football team with zero remorse, showing no signs of any type of trauma that would have happened after said assault. All the music students hated her.

I had a S.S teacher during our virtual year and when the school allowed us to come back towards the end of the year. That's when she let her true color show, she said people were autistic because cavemen didn't eat enough vegetables. She also stalked a student through out the school day, called a friend she looked ugly because she had false eyelashes. Then the next year my English teacher slammed a big dictionary in front of a students head because they were asleep. She also complained how she would drive 2 hours to teach us and how we should be grateful she was teaching us and just trauma dumped on a bunch of 13-14 years old. She left though and nobody complained.

There was a teacher at my job who got cancer and would come in and out. We have Family Medical Leave Act where I’m from which gives you 12 weeks leave (not paid). Overtime she ran out of leave. She needed a procedure and would have needed to be off for just a few days but had no leave left. They let her go. She went to the media with her story and the governor (we’re a state agency) reinstated her the day after it aired. She was a great teacher, tough, but brilliant and caring. She died a couple years later. Sad story. Policies and practices changed after that. I’ve seen many people go out on leave for all kinds of reasons and just take the time they needed going forward. Good for her for standing up for herself.

I used to work in finance and accounting. When I retired, I figured I would substitute for something to do. I was subbing for a high school math class when a student asked me for help. The way the teacher said to do problems wasn't giving the same answer as when she checked with a calculator. This teacher was teaching the kids incredibly wrong, rounding every step, not following PEDAS, etc. I showed the class the correct way. I was promptly let go after that. I started tutoring 3 days a week after that.

My math teacher in 6th/7th grade was arrested the day of or the day before the start of the second semester of 7th grade, turns out she had r*ped a student at one of the previous schools she taught at in a different state. It was a huge shock, she was always so nice and bubbly and overall one of my favorite teachers, I never would have suspected she would do something like that. They couldn't find us a new teacher for a few months, so everyone in her classes fell behind. The worst part is I'd hear kids in my other classes joke about it like "Oh yeah, I got Mrs. [her last name]ed", that made me especially mad because it's really not something to joke about

Our teacher went on "vacation" after bringing a gun to shoot the aliens (the ET kind) that bothered him at school. An otherwise harmless but eccentric fellow.

You know what we need right now? More c**p about teachers. Yup. No one wants to do the job as it is. Every teacher is accused of being a bully now. Just pile on. Then show me the perfect profession. One with nobody who has been accused of being...anything. You know what this has brought? Hyper-entitled children. Hyper-entitled parents. Not enough teachers.
