It’s no surprise that gossip or stories of incidents that really happened travel very fast, especially in high school. If somebody saw some students making out, half of the school is going to know the next day, if somebody got in a fight or made a fool of themselves - the same situation. 

However, there is nothing more interesting than seeing your teacher where they aren't supposed to be or, let’s say, spotting them on a date. Oof, those stories travel way faster than any dramas that students were involved in. But you know what’s even more interesting? Finding out that some teacher got fired and the reason that they got fired makes you even question if you are talking about the same person.

So speaking about that, one Reddit user created a thread asking folks online to share some stories about their teachers that led to them getting fired. Scroll through these incidents and upvote your favorite - just be ready because some of them are literally insane.

Somebody Asks “How Did That Teacher Get Fired At Your School?” And 30 Folks Deliver She walked into her house to find her only son had hung himself. The school district did not allow her any grieving time and then fired her because “she wasn’t at the same level she used to be and her students were falling behind”. Needless to say the community ripped the school board a new a*****e and she was hired back and received the rest of the school year off.

Somebody Asks “How Did That Teacher Get Fired At Your School?” And 30 Folks Deliver My middle school choir teacher was a closeted gay man. He had a long-term boyfriend but none of us knew about it, until one day a parent saw them at a HOUSE PARTY making out. They spread rumors throughout the school and multiple parents immediately removed their children from his class. The parents complained to the school and got him fired. The good news is, he eventually quit teaching and opened up a bakery with his partner, which did very well and got featured on Cupcake Wars.

Somebody Asks “How Did That Teacher Get Fired At Your School?” And 30 Folks Deliver Teacher called up a female student to work a problem on the blackboard. The student didn't want to participate. After some verbal back and forth, the student went to the blackboard and muttered something under her breath.

The teacher grabbed the student's hair with both hands and proceeded to slam her head into the blackboard. "You **(slam)** will listen **(slam)** to me **(slam)**!"

About three seconds later, the teacher realized what she was doing and released the student's hair. The student looked at her, said "You are sooooo fired" and left the room.

We had a new math teacher the next day.

Even if the student is just an a**hole, ignore it. You have to. The student will pay the price later in life, but a teacher cannot force-feed students with attitudes. If you cannot ignore those comments, send the student to the principal's office, or forget teaching.

You may have no idea what stressors pushed that teacher over the edge. The pressure can be horrendous. She may have been an excellent teacher who just really needed some mental health time off. Still, no excuse. I would venture to say that she probably found a job outside of education that was less stressful..

My fourth grade teacher did this to a kid in the 80s. At that time, none of the adults in charge (parents, admin) believed the students. He taught several more years and retired from that position with pension. You could always smell alcohol on his breath and he carried a thermos that smelled of vodka. He liked to throw chairs across the room.

Somebody Asks “How Did That Teacher Get Fired At Your School?” And 30 Folks Deliver A football coach doubled as a high school substitute teacher. He was covering my history class. A cheerleader left her bag in the back of the class. I took it to the teacher to let him know and went back to my seat. From my corner seat I saw him go though the back and pull out a pair of panties. He pocked them. I stood up and said out loud “did you just pocket her panties?” He got red in the face and yelled at me “what did you say? Why the f would I do something like that?” He then stupidly stood up. They were hanging just slightly out of the corner of his pocket. Everyone saw them. Two girls ran out of the classroom and got the principal that just happened to be in the hallway. They confronted him as he tried to leave the classroom. We never saw him again. As a teacher or a coach.

Somebody Asks “How Did That Teacher Get Fired At Your School?” And 30 Folks Deliver Used corporal punishment. We were first graders and she made those of us who didn’t have their homework kneel on salt/seeds/buckwheat. One of the kids in my class was literally the most obedient kid and she was top of the class and always had her homework—that day she must’ve forgotten it at home. She made her kneel and the girl cried so quietly and without a sound and peed in her uniform. She transferred and never came back after that day.

Yeah, it was a private school. Parents heard about it and threatened to sue.

A girl apparently noticed a red light or something, saw it was a camera, got tf out of there and went straight to school leadership. They came and apparently found the teacher frantically trying to delete footage. Resigning was better for the school's reputation, of course.

When me and my friends did something dumb in front of the camera (can't remember what we did), we rewound the tape to record over that part. When we stopped the tape to see if we had gone far enough back, we realized we probably went too far.

When we pressed play, the video that started playing was [an adult movie]. We later found out it was our teacher's sister and new husband on their wedding night. Our teacher was transferred to a different school and we all had to have meetings with the school admin to talk about what we'd seen.

Because of me I think. Once in primary school i was messing around with a classmate, she threw a sponge at me, making me chase her around the classroom. Teacher tries to stop me and grabs me by the neck making me fall on my back. It didn’t hurt but I got surprised. I don’t remember how but some way the principal and my parents got involved and we never saw the teacher again after that. He was sort of a substitute teacher and from what I can remember he was pretty well liked even by me.
