  • In middle school, one of my teachers rolled in the TV/VCR cart, popped in a tape, and left the room. It was homemade porn. He was fired, then later arrested on charges of statutory rape of a student. On my first day at that school (the first day it was even open), a kid got stabbed and another went to the hospital for alcohol poisoning and drug overdose. Also, one of the nighttime janitors stole a bunch of computers (Apple II-e's and c's) to try to sell them and got arrested. Another kid with long hair got his hair caught in a drill press in shop class, and it was pretty gory. It was unofficially known as "the last Indian scalped in Arizona". That place was wild. It was shut down years ago due to lack of funding I think. It was on the rez, if that helps explain things.

    In high school (not on the rez), we had standard stuff. At least one teacher that I know of was having sex with students, but I don't think she ever got busted. Had a riot over the Rodney King stuff. School shootings weren't in vogue yet, thankfully. We had one kid who all the teachers liked, straight A student, etc. He carjacked some lady at gunpoint one weekend, and the wheel came off while he was speeding away. The car flipped and he died. Oh, and my art teacher tried out for American Gladiators, but dislocated his shoulder during tryouts. Not really a scandal, but we all thought it was funny.

  • Had a teacher dating a student. It was rumored or so? But they didn’t come out with it til she went to college.

  • Just about all my classmates one Spring got mononucleosis. For a while, I was one of a handful of people coming to school.

  • Senior year. We just got through the half way part. I was in some intro to physics or some type of shop class. My teacher suddenly "retires" and we get a string of random subs. Some stay for a day, some a week until we got a "permanent sub". It was rumored the old teacher got caught getting head from one of the students. We had a few of those types of rumors with teachers but this dude left in the middle of the school year and they had no plan for a replacement. So I'm assuming it's more true than the other rumors at our school.

    We weren't even learning whatever the class was after the main teacher left. We slept or did homework from other classes. Sometimes they would put on movies. It's the first time I saw the OG Star Wars actually. We had a lot of time to kill.
