I don’t think teachers are more hosed up than the general population, they just have more power to show it off. Even if you could get rid of all the sick teachers you would still have to deal with the sick kids. In high school some students who had failed one of his classes started a rumor that their history teacher, a very tall guy, was a transsexual who had been kicked out of the WNBA for having a penis. I don’t think anyone ever seriously believed this, but just the stupidity and viciousness of spreading poo poo like that around really blew my mind even at the time.

Reminds me that when I'd just started secondary school, there was a rumour going around that the vice principal liked to peek over the dividers in the boys' bathrooms, supposedly to try and catch students smoking. I didn't really believe it, at the time I believed there was actually justice in this world and I figured that if there was something to it, he'd have at least been fired. About a year later he suddenly disappeared and none of the staff would say why, so maybe the rumours were true after all.

We just have to hope they have a passion for education and want to make a difference in the world, instead of being bullies who creep on preteens. I spent the last few years working in Australian schools, as far as I can tell you're not far wrong. Most teachers are in it for the right reasons, but sometimes you end up with teachers who lost the passion for it and stick around because it's the only thing they can do, take their frustrations out on the students, and keep their jobs because unless you catch them pulling some kind of major misconduct, it's hard to fire them. And even if it were easy to fire them, finding qualified graduates who could replace them and gel with the principal's leadership style are hard to find, and principals are busy enough without having to conduct interviews all day. Also, you sometimes come across principals who make such boneheaded decisions that they make international news, get fired from one school, quietly rehired at another, proceed to run everything into the ground and blame everyone but themselves for their own failings.

Grade school teachers are paid poorly so a lot of people won’t do it so the standards for entry are low and it winds up attracting a lot of the bullies and idiots you knew from grade school.

One person in my circle of friends started a rumor that another of our friends had two penises, and the guy in question thought it was hilarious, so we all ran with it. The hosed up part is how prolifically this ridiculous rumor spread. Whenever someone asked one of us if it was true we would just say something along the lines of "that's really personal and I don't want to talk about it." He would also dodge the question when asked. Apparently that's all it took for people to accept it as an absolute fact and even through high school we would run into kids from other schools who would ask us about the kid from our school with two dicks. In high school, the same dude who started that rumor decided for whatever reason one Monday morning to tell people that another of our friend's father had been killed over the weekend. Our friend heard about this when some guys were discussing it in the locker room without realizing he was also in the room. He shuts his locker, walks around the corner and as he passes the group sniffles and whispers "daddy" and just walks out of the room.

I was walking with friends and randomly threw a chestnut ridiculously far and it hit an older kid in the back of the head with a resounding CRACK. He raced over to us and my friends immediately narced me but luckily he didn't believe I could throw that far. A kid in 8th grade punched his teacher Mr. Staal in the head. One kid was mouthy and the bullies would always kick his rear end. It was a regular occurrence for the teacher to ask "Where's Mike?" and we'd look out the window to find him still lying in the field. Playing baseball with a tennis ball someone crushed one and it came down right on top of someone's head walking with a friend beyond the outfield, hit the nub part on top of his baseball hat and flew straight back up in the air. Funniest thing I'd ever seen. In grade 3 we used to play tackle football and shout "N****R PILE" as everyone heaped on. Woof.

In high school we were asked to make catapults/devices that shoot tennis balls for that classic physics project that I feel like everyone does. Well, later that day I was thinking really hard about something that would: 1) shoot a tennis ball super far and 2) take very little effort to create. I was very high. My solution? I cut a hole in a tennis ball and put a big rear end ocean fishing weight inside to give it some heft. I then attached the weight to a fishing line on a large pole. That was my interpretation of the project, and it turned out be absolutely genius. All I had to do was cast just like it was a fishing lure and that ball went sailing. Although I think I remember being disqualified for the distance competition (by bullshit after-the-fact rules after realizing they'd been outsmarted), my device could send the tennis ball about 200 yards with a massive heave- nobody else's even came close. Then after shooting I could just reel it in, didn't even have to go looking for the ball. I was feeling pretty high on myself until I was messing around later that day and accidentally shattered a skylight in the cafeteria by casting the ball at it from distance. They took my pole :/

One time at the end of the day in 3rd grade I called my friend a lesbian (we're both boys and I didn't even know what a lesbian was) while we were standing in line out in the hallway and a 4th grade teacher across the hall heard me, and totally lost his poo poo. He grabbed us both by our jaws and slammed us against the nearest wall, red-faced and yelling, asking us "what we just said". I don't remember how we were eventually let go, but we ended up being late for our respective buses. Of course, I relayed this event to my mother and showed off the quickly forming face-spanning bruise, and I could see the rage beginning to boil up within her. She marched me into school the next day and had a loud meeting with the administration and that teacher. I don't know what all was said, but my mother said she threatened to chop off his hands and shove them up his rear end if he ever touched me again. And that I wouldn't have any more problems with him. The teacher never lost his job or anything like that and I ended up having him for 4th grade History class, but he'd never directly look at me or address me individually. But I did have very poor grades for his class. I found his facebook profile a few years ago and asked him if he remembered the time he tried to crush my jaw and he apologized with some real heartfelt poo poo and it seemed like he really regretted his actions. I was drunk and I told him he destroyed my trust in teachers and authority figures, and I'd do some really horrible poo poo to him if I ever saw him again. All he responded with was "I'm sorry" and blocked me.

Nooner posted:Why were you all looking at eachothers dicks? Kids pee in front of each other all the time My friends and I used to hang out at a drainage pipe, and it wasn't unusual for us to just whip it out and piss in the water. One kid, I'll call him Bob, used to be a straight-A, high achieving student, and then one day he whipped out his dick to pee and it was micro-phallic. Everyone made fun of him. I made fun of him like then and there, but never again and I didn't tell anyone else. But I guess the other kids did, so word got around. He went from straight-A's to barely passing, and it kind of messed up his life, I think. In high school he got super into drugs, and last time I met him, he was working at an oil change place, which is too bad, 'cuz he was a really smart kid before he found out his dick was tiny.

Reading through the thread, figured I'd clarify for non-americans that "grade school" is literally all school. Grades 1 -> 12, or basically ages 6 -> 18 (8th grade?) One that comes to mind involved the class bully and a troubled kid with issues at home. The bully, named Will, was loud, obnoxious and frankly as jacked as a 13 year old can be. See, his father was a scout for some professional sport, so Will had been playing all the sports since he could walk. My only personal memory of Will was a time he knocked a book out of my hands in the hallway and then stomped my fingers when I went to pick it up. gently caress you Will. Eventually he got around to antagonizing troubled boy. Feeding off the kid's anger, Will kept pushing and pushing his buttons. Finally troubled boy snaps and screams that he's going to bring a shotgun to school and blow Will's loving head off. Instant suspension for a week, upon return he's pulled from regular classes and sent to "Special Ed". But during that week off from school, troubled boy had nothing to do but walk around the neighborhood. Upon seeing a road-killed opossum, troubled boy picks it up and walks a mile or two across the tracks to Will's family's McMansion and stuffs that fucker waaay up in their mailbox. Luckily, Will went off to some military school after 8th grade and I never saw that jackass again. I became close friends with with troubled boy a few years later in High School. We're still close, and he remains troubled to this day. Here's palate cleanser for you. Banksy and the street art movement were just getting famous during my High School years. It just so happened that my STEM loving rear end took my first art class, Graphic Design, at that time and I really got into it. (Ironically, Graphic Design was the most lucrative class I took in High School. Freelancing websites for small business paid my loving rent when I was between jobs/school.) So feeling inspired by Banksy and Shepard Fairey, I decided to do some graffiti of my own in the boy's bathroom. I would go in with some sharpies and create murals on the walls in the style of stoneage cavemen hunting herds.  Never got caught. One close call where the Principal caught my buddy admiring my newest installation 5 minutes after the deed, but he didn't crack and drop the dime on me.

In middle school, we had two gymnasiums connected to each other, separated by a wall, with doors so you could go between the two gyms. At the top of this wall, there was a probably 2' gap which was covered by a curtain. Not sure why they designed it that way in retrospect, but it made for one of the funniest loving things I have ever seen. One day, our grumpy-rear end gym teacher was sitting at a table in one of the gyms, with her back against the wall, doing paperwork I guess. Out of nowhere, a rubber dodgeball falls out of the curtain, and drops directly - and I mean perfectly - on top of her head, knocking her glasses off and leaving her really mad and confused and swearing. They must've been playing dodgeball on the other side, and someone probably kicked a ball up into the ceiling, and it somehow ended up crossing the wall with just the right amount of force to push through the curtain, and with flawless aim. I was doubled over laughing, as were a few other people, and this just made her even angrier. Not terribly hosed up, I guess. As far as hosed up goes, in first grade one of my friends suddenly snapped in class, and he slid into the desk behind me and stabbed me in the back with a pencil, just entirely out of nowhere. I'm not sure why he chose that particular moment to go bonkers, but he came from a reeeeal hosed up home, so probably something with that I guess. It didn't go in too far and wasn't a very serious wound, thankfully.

High school in automative class the teachers walked out for a few minutes and some dip shits started messing with the air hoses coming down from the ceiling when one broke off. One of the teachers was freaking out when they came back trying to find out who it was. The very dude who broke it instantly throws the perceived "bad kid" under the bus saying 'it was Tanner, he was swinging from it like freakin Tarzan'. No one stood up for Tanner and he was instantly dragged off without question. Walked into class with a bag of Cheetos and whipped one across the entire classroom at a friend who just casually moved to the side and caught it in his mouth. 4th grade a girl broke down because everyone made fun of her for being stinky. This was horrific and while I left her alone she got relentlessly teased and taught me to be much more compassionate for people's situations because you never know their story. I hope she has been doing better

When I was in first grade, a classmate tried to punch me in the face and missed, hitting instead the particleboard wall of the gym. It caved in where he struck it, creating a pit about 8 inches or so across. He looked stunned for a moment and said 'wow i must be some kinda superman.' AFAIK, they never fixed it. The hole was still there almost twenty years later.

I just remembered that there was a kid on the bus in middle school, who, multiple times each bus trip, would say, "peel your daddy's banana" as an insult. He had a high-pitched, annoying as voice, and every ride, it was just, "I bet you peel your daddy's banana! That guy probably peels his daddy's banana! Did you peel your daddy's banana over the weekend?" Like, obviously he knew it was a sexual innuendo, but the repetition of it just got weird after the first week, and he just kept doing it all during that school year. I don't remember him at all outside of that one year, so I have no idea whatever happened to him.

The family that lived across the road from a buddy's house was really weird and trashy, but also kinda rich for the area. They had a few kids, one of which was a guy several years older than us. There was a home video going around, made by this dude's parents, of him jumping his dirt bike over the cars in their driveway wearing nothing but his boots. My buddy and I went over there one time to ask his parents if we could play in the creek in their back yard and the whole time we were talking to them their 15 year old daughter was just sitting on the couch bare rear end naked eating cereal and watching TV. The older dude went missing for a week during his second (and last) year of high school. His parents woke up one morning and he was just gone, but had left his shoes and glasses so people suspected he had been kidnapped or something. He had not, he ran off to go on a meth bender but the truth didn't come out for awhile. Somehow the rumor came up that his gay uncle had kidnapped him because, you know, "gay uncle." When the kid finally decides to come home he realizes this rumor is his perfect alibi. He and a friend break into his uncle's shed, he strips and has his friend tie him up in the shed. The friend then contacts the police saying he has found the missing kid. The uncle got really lucky that the idiot kids' story fell apart almost immediately because in the first couple days after all this people wanted him dead. Kid never came back to school after this ordeal. Shortly after he was drunk driving one morning and nearly hit a school bus head on as he crashed off a bridge into the embankment below, killing himself and sentencing all the kids on the bus to our school's lovely excuse of "therapy." I never heard whether or not he was naked for that one. He did get a memorial page in the yearbook of a school no longer went to lol. Oh and on the topic bus rides and death: an older high school kid left school early one day to go home and kill his dad with a hammer. After school the bus driver stops at the house, crawling with cops and EMTs, and sends the guy's 8 year old brother into the very fresh crime scene without a word to anyone or a care in the world.

I went to a hippie "open school" k-8 and a few years ago (I'm 27 now) it came out that my gym teacher was a pedophile. My friends and I (all girls at the time) always felt skeezed out around him, so i guess it's not surprising. Also he was a huge fat dude who would sit in a rolling chair and blast jock jams and yell at us through a megaphone while we ran around doing whatever the activity for the day was.
