How messed-up was/is your school?

edited October 2006 in General
So while talking about my chem teacher in the SCIENCE! thread I realized that my high school was fairly fucked up, or at least its faculty was and probably still are. As I said, my chem teacher was fired and had his wife and two little kids leave him after he was convicted of statutory rape. In addition, the long-time band teacher of the school left for another job at a smaller school, the replacement that was brought in was arrested and fired about a month later for coming to one of the marching band's rehearsals completely drunk off his ass and passing out in the band room after yelling a whole bunch of people. I think my favorite though was my principal was arrested for soliciting a prostitute that later turned out to be an undercover cop.

Anyone else have any fucked up stories about their schools and places of education?

    I remember when one kid cracked open another kids head with a chair in the lunch room. He had heard from his friends that the kid had said some bad things about him, so he hit the kid in the back of the head with a chair while he was just sitting there eating lunch. It was pretty messy.

    Witch hunt. Kids in my school got suspended AND kicked out of the talent show (?!) for being suspected of witchcraft. I myself was questioned for possible connections. The principal sent a letter to all of the parents, cautioning them not to let kids go to the local midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show, since occult activities took place there. Occult activities. Really.

    Did you go to school in 17th century Romania? That's way beyond completely ridiculous!

    My school was fine. The most notable happenings were just various hijinx pulled by students who were being dumbasses. The best one I remember was when the milk in the school cafeteria was tasting like crap for some reason, and it got bad enough that one day a buch of kids ditched school a bit before lunch, went to the local grocery store, bought a cart-full of milk, came back to the school and setup in the lunchroom selling glasses of milk that DIDN'T taste like ass. Such a shame they got shut down right away (The milk sold out so fast it was gone before the they got shut down)

    Our new superintendant resigned after just one year because it was found out that although we had to cut all JV sports, she was still able to give herself a hefty raise.

    I heard my first grade teacher was fired for locking a classmate in the bathroom.

    School was evacuated last June when somebody found some mixed up house cleaners in a bathroom. Because of the fumes, like a dozen people (including the principal) were taken to the hospital. And even though everybody knew the story, the administrators wouldn't confirm anything, as usual.

    Then there was our old principal, who was the worst PA announcer ever. He would reiterate everything he said three or four times, he loved the phrase "no congregating in the halls", and he had some quite memorable quotes, such as "if any teachers' phone isn't working, please call the main office" and "if you are too far away to hear this announcement, please return to the school."

    We used to have a quote of the day thingy, which no one listened to except me...and I noticed that they repeated quotes. that's dumb. Also, one of my favorite quotes:
    Girls are like buses, you miss one and another one's there in ten minutes.

    Wow, how very pro-active of them.

    I remember when two kids (both black-belts) got into a fight and our assistant principal ( also a black belt) broke it up. Everybody was KUNG-FU fiiiightiiing! Well, actually it was karate and tae kwon do. Either way, it kicked ass.

    A kid in 9th grade stabbed anohter one with a pen in the head.
    The stabbee had been pinching the stabber's neck for about 5 minutes, during History class, so the teacher made the stabber sit in front of me and the stabee behind me. The stabee said something to the stabber to bother him, and the stabber quietly and slowly stood up, walked past me, and stabbed the stabbee in the head, then he went back to his seat. The teacher saw this and was terrfied His first reaction was to take a step away from the stabbber (we were in the front of the class).

    Well, shit. You win. Unless you count the guy that tried to jump me with "all his homies" after school one day. Obviously I got away, I'm still here. But I don't think anyone at my school ever did anything so unemotionally. That's just plain sick.

    In 7th or 8th grade, there was a kid who got expelled for stabbing a kid with an x-acto knife, so we weren't allowed to use those anymore. Other than that, at the scool I'm at right now, a lot of people smoke in the bathrooms, and the principal is convinced that if he only keeps one bathroom unlocked less people will smoke. All it does is make it so there is a constant cloud of smoke in the bathroom.

    My highschool had a similar lockdown on bathrooms. As far as stabbing, I saw a kid get stabbed by a pencil in 8th grade. My most interesting story would have to do with seeing a kid get brought down by pepper spray by a police officer in the lunchroom. He was about to start a fight and was a Juggernaut (300-350 lbs.) so the fight would not be easily broken up. That was two years ago, he dropped out this year.

    Geez, I was wondering why my school locked all the bathrooms last year... I had to go from the third floor to the first to go to the bathroom.

    Never had a stabbing happen, but in middle school, there was this reeeeaaaaly creepy kid named Chris who was pretty quiet but would make death threats on everyone. He always wore these big black gloves and would curse off everyone, including the teachers. He was one of those kids that you befriend when they first move in because they're quiet and lonely, and then spend the rest of the year trying to get rid of.

    I think me and my friends complained to the principal about him once, I forget what he did exactly, but I never saw him after that... he probably stabbed someone. I think he had a knife in his backpack anyway.

    Oh, and one time my little brother told me about this fight where one kid sneaked up on the other and just slammed their head through a window. Sounds... painful.

    In before Columbine.

    At my old school where I spent only 1 year, the window frames were made out of old warped wood, and once a kid called John on the third floor was pushed against a window and the glass just fell right out of the frame, and therefore John went with him, and down he went.

    He was ok, but had a nasty concussion. I was there when it happened. Scared the hell out of me seeing him hit the floor, i thought he was dead....

    Cracked his HEAD OPEN?! Jesus, dude.

    The most I can tell is when someone put a little packet of maple syrup in my bag and got my books all sticky. I like the black belt kids and assistant principle story, though.

    This one isn't so messed up as it is funny.

    In 8th grade my teacher was really anal about people tilting backwards in their chairs. As a joke the kid sitting next to me was like, "Dude, check this out." Then he started rubbing his nose. I thought it was pretty gross and was about to look away when his nose started bleeding like crazy and he threw himself backward onto the floor bleeding everywhere while screaming like he was in pain. He looked up at the teacher, face covered in blood now, and said, "Oh if only I listened to you!" My teacher didn't even realize that it was a joke. It was as gross as it was funny.

    Okay, so it was messed up.

    One time this kid made himself throw up to get out of French class.

    Our teacher's name was Dr. Breed-Mackin, and she was obsessed with the fact that she went to an Ivy League school (never told us which one) and would yell at you if you called her 'Mrs.' instead of 'Dr.'. So how does and Ivy League-level teacher wind up in Washingtonville Middle School anyway?
  • edited September 2006
    She was obviously as shocked as the rest of you, that's why she was so insistant about keeping her tiny shred of dignity.
    ALSO: Breed-Mackin. WTF? Did nobody else realize the correlation between bredding and mackin it.

    The same way Khan did, with lots of rage and hate.

    Man, you guys all went to fucked up schools. My principal left the school midway through my junior year because he was having an affair with another teacher. We got another principal later who looked suspiciously like The Rock, but that's it. We never had stabbings.

    They should really ban pencils in schools.

    The english schools...are really, really normal. now, the Russian one! Oho!
    We had a science teacher chick, she was missing half of her face. She was a really awesome teacher though, happy and funny and let us smell gasoline and passed weed around the class to smell. I was 11 at the time o_0

    My math teacher was a short, angry old lady, her name was Elvira and she was from Mongolia. She always, ALWAYS carried a meter stick and hit students on the way to class with it. She had a shrill voice and a sticklike posture. She's in a nuthouse now for almost beating a kid to death with the said ruler. She was sick once. ONCE. In all three years that I've had her.

    Gym teacher was a pedo. Like, a raging pedo. Some students wouldn't show up to class after gym because they'd get locked in the place for changing too long (it was separate from the school) and the guy would have their way with em. And then they'd come back to class sometime later. He never really got anything for it, except maybe a 100 ruble fine (read: 5 dollars)

    That and I won't mention the Russian ghetto, the bandits, the morons poking people in school with AIDS syringes, the gas leak, the WWII-age bombs hidden inside the building because it used to be a hospital, etc, etc.

    I liked my school XD
