The fire alarm got pulled at least eight times in one morning. I think the first one was actually a fire drill, but it was in the middle of winter and a bunch of us who had exited into the back parking lot overlooking the valley, had decided to throw themselves down the snowy hillside - like tobogganing, but without a toboggan, and really dangerous because of all the sticks and stumps. Anyway I guess they thought it was so much fun that about five minutes after we all shuffled back inside, the alarm got pulled again and then we were out there again watching three or four guys take their shirts off and throw themselves down the valley. The alarm kept getting pulled, sometimes even before we got back to our classrooms. It got to the point that the attending firefighters didn't even get out of their truck, they just drove down the driveway, got on their megaphone with something like "WE HAVE REAL FIRES TO FIGHT, STOP DOING THIS" and then they turned around and drove away. I don't know how many more times it got pulled because some friends and I decided to just walk out after the eighth time. A classmate of mine was also a primary witness in a murder investigation and last I heard her testimony led to a mistrial. But that's not exactly school business, the victim and perpetrator went to a different school.

One of the long-time gym teachers in our high school went into "early retirement" after a few girls came forward and said he had sexually assaulted them. When it went down, I heard from a male student how he witnessed said gym teacher touching one of them inappropriately in the weight room as she was using one of the machines. A quick googling reveals he's being sued for past incidents that took place decades before this. In 7th grade, one of my friends went into our shop teacher's computer one day and found porn. I don't think anything came of that.

We had two students die in one holiday weekend. One got thrown out of the back of a pickup truck during a party or something, the other was a popular student who was, unknown to everyone, suicidally depressed and walked in front of a train. They had memorial trees planted in a courtyard for them. The trees were torn out 20 years later when the school was rebuilt; I doubt they replanted them anywhere.

I've got a few: In 3rd or 4th grade, we had a new girl come to our class in the middle of the year. She moved to Ohio from California to get away from her abusive dad. One day she just stopped showing up. Staff didn't know what happened to her. A month later, one of her friends finds out that her dad found where she was living. They moved again, but the dad found them again and he raped and killed her  --- In Freshman year after Christmas break was the Ohio Proficiency Test, a five-part test with each part given the morning of each day for one week. If you already passed that day's section, you didn't have to come to school until noon. You'd repeat your failed sections each year until all were completed. Anyway, I'd passed mine the previous year and was walking to school at noon. I car of Seniors drove up the street and stopped by me. They roll their windows down and tell me not to bother going to school since it's on fire. I think they're joking, but they keep trying to convince me, further leading me to thinking they're messing with me. I walk the rest of the way there and, oh, hey, the school's on fire. Turns out a student from a rival school used his free time to light a boxes of desks that were stored in a stairwell on fire. No major damage was done, but kids in the computer lab above the automotive tech garage had smoke inhalation due to the only entrance being the stairwell that was ablaze. We had to go back to school the next day where more kids got sick from the still-lingering fumes! --- At the end of Sophomore year was the annual Teachers Vs. Students basketball game. It was a fun time until the 4th period. The teachers had a nice lead and apparently really wanted to protect it. A Senior runs and jumps with the ball to dunk it, and another teacher jumps up and absolutely bodies him, sending him to the floor. There was an audible *crack* when his head hit the floor. He laid still. The gym was silent. Then the blood began to pool around his head. The teachers all exchanged looks of  before the teacher that bodied him looks into the stands and shouts "School's dismissed!"Miraculously, the kid ended up okay and somehow nobody got sued. --- Finally in Senior year...9/11! Every day after that for a week or two, we'd have "fire drills" multiple times a day. Since I was a dork that was an office helper, I found out that it was because we were getting bomb threats called in. If an announcement came over the PA saying that a car with a license plate with BT in it had their lights on, that's what it was. Of course, everyone else figured that out eventually since we'd have a fire drill a couple minutes after one of those announcements. The calls always had their number blocked on the caller ID except for one day when it came in during my office helper period. The secretary kept the caller on the line as they looked up the number to see if it was a student. It was. And they lived across the street from the school. The secretary looks out the window and sees the kid on his porch with a cordless phone. She then says to the caller, "You know I can see you, right *name*?" He hangs up and runs inside his house. He'd already been suspended for fighting and was quickly expelled.

Some kid that had dropped out hosted a party and got drunk / high then tried to drive another popular high schooler home but crashed so hard it sent the engine flying out of his car and killed the other kid. IIRC he lived and got in serious trouble and so did his mom for serving alcohol to minors. I worked with the victim's girlfriend once, she seemed nice. There was also an auto erotic asphyxiation death, but no high school is complete without one of those.

A few years before I got there, during the Clinton impeachment trials, it came out that one of the drama teachers at the first high school I went to had an affair with Monica Lewinsky when she was his student in university (or something). The school got staked out for a few weeks by paparazzi before it eventually blew over/they got bored. The second high school I went to had two married teachers start an affair, which eventually culminated in them both divorcing their respective spouses any marrying each other. He quit to go to law school, but she stuck around… and is now the principal of that same Very Catholic High School, which still makes me laugh whenever I think about it.

A severely autistic kid was being bullied in gym. Autistic kid who slightly smaller, and who was also a huge fan of WWE, grabbed the bully by the head, stuck it between his legs, picked the kid up to deliver the world's most devastating power bomb I've ever seen. It was on the wrestling mats ironically, however that did little to protect the bully's head, and who's arms immediately shot upwards all while he was completely unconscious on his back (later I'd learn this is called a fencing response and is associated with concussions).

Every grade in my small private high school had one or two expulsion 'incidents' that were meant to keep the rest of the kids in line. No deaths, no violent gore, and no suicides in my class during the high school years, thank goodness. Anyone with unchecked psychiatric issues was inevitably expelled for their behavioral problems before they could cause a major scene, or else they 'fell behind on classwork' while in the mental hospital after a suicide attempt. A girl in my sophomore class brought weed to an outdoor ed. hiking trip and got expelled when the teacher smelled pot from her tent after lights-out. The zero-tolerance policy the private school had was very important to the investors! The next year a freshman brought weed to the freshman start-of-year trip and this time the whole cabin of kids got expelled for not immediately snitching. Great class bonding experience to start the freshman year! By the end of our senior years the faculty was just trying to keep the oldest students from gathering in the parking lots to do drugs in their cars between classes. Too many students had rich donor-class parents that would cause serious trouble if their kid was expelled within months of graduation. Case in point, when I was junior and less than two months out from summer, one of the seniors stole a half-drunk bottle of this girl's apple juice and replaced some the juice with his own piss in the bathroom before giving it back to her in person to drink, as if this wasn't immediately going to land him in deep poo poo the moment she took a sip. He DID NOT get expelled, but by golly was there a lot of huffing and drama over it at the time. Looking them up now, my school's alcoholic headmaster apparently whitewashed a known problem-teacher who was teaching while I was attending, by giving this teacher a glowing recommendation letter to the next school he worked at, where he went on to abuse multiple girls and students and get caught. What hypocritical filth.

My entire year 9 class save for me and a couple of others was expelled for getting high and drunk then running around a caravan park naked on a school trip. Someone staying in the park video taped the whole thing and sent it to the school. The only reason I dodged it was because we'd found a kitten in the gutter earlier that night while were on the way to buy the Passion Pop and I was taking care of it the caravan. I kept the cat.

I remembered another thing -- I was in a car that drove over a guy that was riding on the hood. When he tried to get up, the lower half of his calf just flopped completely over.  I don't know if it was an "incident" though -- it could have been only band kids that knew about it, since it happened in the parking lot after band practice.Animal-Mother posted:My buddy wrote "TESTICLE BOY WAS HERE" on the pavement with spray paint. I had told him to simply write "TESTICLE" as brevity is the soul of wit, but he would not listen to reason. He was right.  BoonyPC posted:We actually had a school shooting - not totally unfamiliar nowadays but this was 1991 or so, and it was in Australia. Is that what the song "Monday" by The Living End is about?

Oh yeah, my media arts teacher was exposed and charged recently for grooming students, or something like that.

A teacher at the school I went to got fired for being gay. I remember him being super nice and very funny and that's when I began to distance myself from the fundamentalist world that i was still a part of. Jokes on that school because so many ex students turned out to be lgbtq+ including me lol. Recently gave that school a one star on google because gently caress that place.

In 7th grade Computer class (ummm 1997, I think?) we were learning about the Information Superhighway and kid J immediately looked at porn. It wasn't the first time J had run afoul of this teacher, so the teacher said he was kicking him out of the class for good. J then pulls a knife and charges the teacher. They fall to the ground, and the teacher manages to wrestle the knife away completely unscathed (nobody helped). J was suspended that day; but we never saw J again because, as it was either the truth or just legend, he went home, broke into his father's gun/underwear drawer, got a gun and was on his way back to school when a cop (or his grandmother or some adult he knew, I can't remember exactly) stopped to ask why he wasn't in school, and then, I dunno, found the gun, had a Talk, J never returned to school and nobody knew what became of him. Guess he didn't have many friends, now that I think about it. He was kind of a dick. I hope things turned out alright for him.

Have a few: In 6th grade, I watched a teacher I didn't really know get escorted off campus by staff and school security. No surprise he was molesting or otherwise inappropriate with female students. When I told my sister, who is a good 5 years older but went to the same school she said "oh yea that dude was a huge creep". The only surprising part was how long it took. High school, a kid on my swim team nearly drowned trying to swim the most laps in the diving pool without taking a breath. Almost as soon as he passed out 2-3 kids rushed and got him up to the surface. No real damage thankfully so we gave him poo poo about it the rest of the season. Same team, different guy did a stunt where 4 people weighed down the diving board while he tried to do a huge jump or somersault. Mistimed it so the board swung up and smacked him so hard in the rear end he broke his tailbone and was off the team about 6 weeks recovering. It's a good thing we were decent because we were very dumb and things like this were commonplace. Also HS, the 'cool' burnout janitor got busted for selling weed and probably loving the clingy girl that he'd give rides around campus to on his golf cart. At some point well before all this, I'm not sure why, we were shown one of those "Rock the Vote" videos and he was in it so I guess he was on tour with Aerosmith (or something like that) for a short time? Not my school or my time but recently the rich kid HS near me had a huge scandal about some mom trying to be the cool mom by making her place the party house. Lots of underage drinking and fooling around. The performative outrage was funny because this is a school well known to have a massive cocaine problem dating back decades (because the rich kids could afford it). Ironically they were one of the first schools to get metal detectors and so forth because of how rampant it was. I knew multiple people that were weed dealers there for a time.

The principal was caught banging the P.E. teacher in the staff room. There was a kid called Murray that would sneak off at lunch to phone in a bomb threat so he could get the afternoon off. Then one weekend he & some buddies broke into the school & turned on all the fire hoses. The groundskeeper drunk on cheap wine crashed the ride on lawnmower into a staff members car.

That and setting farm animals loose in the school, which my dad said he did. Sexual abuse/harassment is such a basic thing I didn't even think to include it, but my sister's 6th grade teacher apparently brought a bunch of the kids in my neighborhood home to gently caress his wife. He also enlisted a bunch of them to sell cheap "designer" wristwatches as well. The high school history teacher who led "pep squad" or whatever for the football team would walk around the classroom and just stroke the one football player in our class on the chin. I'm friends of friends with him now and apparently he got thrown out of West Point for having a gambling addiction so who knows what in the hell was going on there.

There were no big "incidents" at any of my schools. Guess some kids got a bit bullied sometimes. One time a guy got angry and hit a girl so that her jaw got dislocated or something, and rumor was he felt real bad about it and had to bring her flowers. Heavy stuff. A girl puked on her desk while the class was watching a movie. They say it was due to menstrual cramps. My buddy was late for class one time and said he fell asleep on the toilet. Pretty sure he had in fact been jacking off in there.

corn haver posted:I think that VW Bug pranks were a well-known urban legend/real prank in the 60s/70s, kind of like the numbered pigs thing. My friend actually did the numbered pig thing like a week before graduation. He somehow convinced another friend's uncle to let him borrow three pigs from his farm. He painted the numbers on them and smuggled them into the school in duffel bags shortly before school started for the day since a ROTC kid let him into the building. He let them out in a little-used boys room. The pigs were caught in short time since they were tired and stressed out. My friend was immediately caught since he kept going on about how cool it would be to pull the prank off to anyone that would listen for weeks. He was suspended for the remaining week and was almost barred from graduating, but the school ended up letting him since they just wanted to be rid of him; he was a notorious prankster and class clown. Funnily enough, the last time I checked in on him, he ended up a gospel singer.

Pretty much the entire Japanese language class united as one to give the teacher a mental breakdown, which bummed me out because I actually wanted to learn Japanese for self betterment (read: playing old SNES ROMs without having to wait for translation hacks) instead of watching a dude with a bowl cut get simultaneously bullied by like 20 surly teenagers. Also, a kid got expelled for smoking pot on the basketball court. Which sounds excessive by modern standards, but this was the early 2000s and the school really, really wanted to be a private school.

A plane with a US Senator onboard and a helicopter collided in midair over my elementary school during recess. There were only a few deaths, which is kind of a miracle, and one kid was really badly burned but survived. I saw him years later as an adult, I think he had had a lot of work done to minimize the burn scars and it looked okay.

I was 17 or so and had a buddy in the lower classes (he was 15ish?) I hung out and smoked pot with during breaks. One day we're strolling through the park getting high during a free period before my last class and he tells me a kid he's friendly with from a year lower had been expelled 3 days for whatever reason, and as revenge or some poo poo had raided his dad's liquor cabinet and was going to bring it all to school to share with his friends and classmates. Did I want to check it out? Sure, why not. I didn't know any of them really but my buddy did, and it was quite a sight: 11AM and almost thirty 13/14 year old kids getting absolutely wasted. Dude's dad apparently had quite the collection and the kids brought it all. Bags filled with high quality scotch, vodka, you name it. At least a bottle per kids there. It was too early for me to really get drunk. Drinking age was 16 at the time and I was getting blasted in the weekends anyway so it wasn't a big deal to me. I had a few sips of this and that but these kids were having a loving party in the middle of the school day. So I take my leave because it wasn't really my scene and I wanted to hang out with my gf during the break. I go to class (physics) and I'm kinda nervous because I definitely have alcohol on my breath. My gf and some classmates remarked on it. I'm chewing gum like crazy but the teacher just doesn't show up. After 15 minutes or so I bail, because gently caress it. Teacher never showed up. Next day someone from the faculty approaches me and asks me what time I'm free because the principal wants to talk to me, and she's sure I know what it's about. I figure I'm save because it's too late for a breathalyser and I've always been on good terms with the teachers and stuff. Meanwhile rumors abound and there's classes that were half empty because so many kids were suspended. So I get the full story from the principal. Almost 40 kids showed up in class completely wasted, all from the junior years (which was on the other side of the campus as where I had class.) They had the police come in en masse with breathalysers and it was a complete poo poo show which is why my physics teacher never showed up. A lot of teachers had to help control the chaos. The talk with me was just a formality, he wasn't expecting me to snitch or anything, but because the physics teacher (total dick and one of the few I never got along with) had seen me with the drunk kids so he wanted to fetch me as well, but the other teachers told him not to bother because I was such a good kid and it they couldn't spare him. I lucked out big time. Also everyone knew I smoked pot and did I know anything about the drug dealers hanging around the school sometimes? I truthfully told him no, I had my own sources and never did any of that poo poo at or near the school.

my secondary school had a PE teacher who'd randomly burst into our changing rooms and wander around the showers to 'make sure we were showering properly'. He got fired while I was still in the first year, as far as we knew he didn't touch anyone but it was probably only a matter of time and still creepy af In the 3rd year the whole year got taken on a camp, and on one of the days we were sent out in groups of 4 for a 10+ mile hike around the beaches and hills on the UK's 'Jurassic Coast' in 35º sun, without drinks or sun protection. Tons of us got heinous sunburn, a few had heat exhaustion and some even got taken to hospital. I've never had sunburn like it, my whole neck and back were basically a big scab. The same night one of my mates got busted chatting up some prostitutes.
