2.“I was told not to fail any student – even if they did not do any work. I was also told not to teach the health curriculum that was approved by the district and only to teach what the principal said to because, in her words, ‘the district makes suggestions, I decide what is taught in my school.’ I refused and quoted state statutes that require the course content and was let go two days later.”

" How many ground level were changed you might ask ? Upwards of 700 . One educatee was pass on an A in a socio-economic class he ’d never even take care . This was the grandson of a school board member . After 10 + yrs I was deemed ' ineffective ' and forced out . "
5.“My seventh grade history teacher was an excellent teacher and a great person overall. She got fired for teaching us about the Holocaust.”
" Her grandmother was a Holocaust subsister and it was a very personal and important topic to her . But one of my classmates complain that she was make ' all Christians look bad , ' and the schoolhouse board barely even listened to her defense . It was heartbreaking . ( Incidentally , the schoolmate who complain about her was afterwards rout out for drawing a swastika on a Jewish girl ’s locker . ) "
6.“A teacher was fired because he refused to address a student, a trans man, with his chosen name. He continued to address him by his former dead name. He didn’t accept his firing and went to court and ultimately lost.”

7.“I’m the teacher. I was an adjunct professor at 29 years old and got pulled into the Department Head’s office one day before class. Apparently I had been ‘hanging out with students and drinking with them outside of school’ and it was a complete no-no. I denied the allegations because it simply DID 👏🏼 NOT 👏🏼 HAPPEN. 👏🏼”
" He proceeds to show me screenshots of a scholar ’s Instagram . A student pick out me at my preferred local nose dive bar and started snapping pictures of me dancing and drinking within their viewpoint . I was completely unaware they were even there , but the legend literally said ' cling out with Miss N — — 😂 yeahhh she cool . ' "

8.“A teacher announced that she named her left boob ‘Betty’ and her right boob ‘Dorothea’ and claimed that Betty and Dorothea didn’t get along. It turns out she invented this whole backstory for why they had a feud (it involved a boyfriend) and revealed that they both had mental health issues and childhood trauma, complicating the situation. About her breasts! And for the record, she was SUPPOSED to be teaching us about geometry.”
9.“My eighth grade science teacher was fired for downloading his vacation photos from a nudist resort to his school computer.”

10.“A few years ago, I was working with a guy that was highly educated. His PhD was in bio-engineering and when his project ran out of funding, he decided to teach. It was apparent from day one that he was in way over his head. His own children were a mess, and he had a huge temper.”
" His inability to cope sent him spiraling out of control on several function . I instruct in the way next door and heard chaos and yell on multiple occasions . The stubble that broke the camel ’s back involved an incident with a scholarly person . plain , the fry was being noncompliant and was asked to go to the principal ’s office . Instead of waiting for back up , he took the child ’s handbag and threw it out the door of his schoolroom and down the mansion . Then he pulled the kid out of his chair and dragged him out into the hall . Once the Thomas Kid and his bag were in the hall , he shut the door behind them and the Thomas Kyd ’s phone was still on his desk . So , the kid is in the hall , banging on the door and disrupt all of our classes . When the principal showed up , he escorted the teacher and kid down to the office . The kidskin was reprimanded and the teacher was usher out briefly afterwards . "
11.“In the US we know sick leave and things like that are horrible. My math teacher contracted meningitis and took as much time as she could off. Well, she still was not feeling well, so for a few days she was literally lying on the floor. I don’t know how administration found out but she was replaced.”
12.“My elementary school music teacher was fired after teaching the song ‘Till the Cows Come Home’ by Lucille Bogan to fourth graders. Look up the lyrics and you’ll understand why.”
13.“A kindergarten teacher at my kid’s school brought brownies for her class. Only problem is, she had gotten the brownies she made for them and weed brownies she kept around her house mixed up. Long story short, she was fired for giving pot to 5 year olds.”
14.“A male teacher at my middle school walked into the girls’ bathroom to dress code a girl for having her bra strap showing. Thank god he was fired!”
" One twenty-four hour period we went to class and the other professors inform us that he was sick . A few days went by and he was nowhere . After two weeks , one of our classmates found out that he was fired and the reasonableness for that was that the university incur a lot of complaint from students about the prof ’s mean behavior . "
16.“This was in middle school. It was the end of the year and as the entire school was taking their end of year finals, three local sheriff deputies stormed into the school. Apparently, the math teach had been dealing drugs to the local high school kids and parents.”
" She was set in cuffs and escorted off school grounds . This was over 10 year ago but I ’m fairly sure she served less than 6 months in prison and got 100 ’s of hour of residential area service . The schoolhouse had no mind this was going to encounter and her husband left her pretty soon after the whole incident . No idea where she is now , but hopefully not teaching . "
17.“A teacher at my small town school was arrested at a strip club for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after entering the club’s women’s room (gross, dude). A couple of years later I ran into him working the valet at a chain restaurant in Boston.”
18.“My health teacher in middle school got fired for teaching us that only sexually active women get periods and that if you menstruate too much, your uterus could somehow melt away(?). Fortunately, all of the girls knew that she wasn’t telling the truth, but it’s disturbing to imagine some impressionable kid believing all that.”
19.“A teacher mentioned that her mom lived in Palestine. This was interpreted by some weird parents as her trying to indoctrinate children in the Israel-Palestine conflict, and she was fired.”
20.“We had a long-term sub for gym. He was always super creepy toward me and the other girls. I especially got creeped out when the school made him the girl’s swim teacher and he was checking out our swimsuits. Fast forward about a year, he ended up getting fired after sending students his nudes on Snapchat. We were 13 and be was probably in his mid 30s.”
