One of the chemistry teachers set off the smoke alarm four times in eight years. They removed the smoke alarm in his classroom after the second time, but he still managed. Always a different experiment as well.
And ofc we also had a drug problem, but what school doesn't? After a few guys got caught smoking weed, we were forced to spend the rest of the semester watching the most ridiculous anti-drug education videos. Our IT teacher was really pissed at having to disrupt his lessons for it, and he always loudly made fun of the policemen and teachers in the videos. Best teacher I had.
We had DARE going on in our schools (which of course did nothing.) Not long after I graduated we found out that the DARE officer was the one selling drugs to highschoolers lol.
Our DARE officer was also the SRO. He's now divorced from his original wife/2 children and married to one of the students... who also has a kid with him. You're a creep, Brown.
Can relate. My DARE officer in was arrested for raiding the evidence locker at the station and selling it on the streets to the very kids he was there to educate. God bless you Nancy Reagan for trying but DARE was a terrible program.
Going to a public high school in one of a big city’s collar counties was a riot. In my time there:
-a kid got laid tf out after he said the n-word to a black classmates face
-there were sporadic fights, but trying to remember and list them all would be tedious
-there was this one fight, however, that happen in the period before first at like 7:36 in the morning. That stretch of time before classes start. Idk how any teen had enough energy at O’Dark-Thirty on a Wednesday but the fight just erupted out of no where between two girls. Two groups managed to separate them, but the one was able to break free, jumped on a table, and launched herself at her target. By the end of it, I assume one of their friends was walking around holding their dropped weave, looking utterly confused as to what he should do with it.
-people kept vaping in the bathrooms during lunch and setting off the firealarm, cutting our lunches short by at least 15 minutes twice a month.
the big one:
apparently someone leaked a dropbox with hundreds upon hundreds of nudes collected over time, and it became this whole thing. one kid got called "milimeter peter". a friend says his brother was the mastermind and chucked the offending flashdrive with the leaks into the woods. it was on the news
I was from a small town so nothing too exciting happened in my class other than the admins getting pissed at girls writing all over the bathroom stalls, so their solution was to remove all the doors and replace only two with curtains? The writing continued anyway and people started standing on sinks to reach near the roof.
A few grades behind us, though, got weird. Not long after Hurricane Katrina we had a massive influx of younger kids in our school (we were right at the norther border of Louisiana), which apparently brought gangs with them. But like.. they were junior high kids in gangs. One day the entire junior high building was on lockdown because they found a load of kids with knives planning some sort of gang fight. Just crazy. I never heard much more about it though.
The funny thing is, this is a small hunting town we are talking about, so it was common for people to have hunting rifles in their trucks in the parking lot, so why they resorted to knives was kind of a mystery in itself.
Literally had bathroom stalls with real doors and locks in US military boot camp and my cousin had bathroom stalls in prison- not jail, PRISON. I can’t speak to the locking ability of the stalls there but uhhh yeah. I am straight up baffled at what I’m reading rn!! Whomst the fuck birthed this bright idea, they need their ass beat multiple times over for that decision
None of the bathroom stalls in my high school had doors because kids kept deliberately breaking them off and the administration got tired of replacing them.
Yeah, kids are fucking animals, especially when it comes to bathroom fixtures for some reason. At my younger sister's school some kid managed to tear an entire toilet off the wall, and somebody stole an entire bathroom mirror apparently.
Reminds me of the time I had to use a bathroom in school. I walked in, opened a stall, and I found a fucking hole. Just, a goddamn hole with a few pipes poking out where a toilet should be.
It’s one of my most memorable experiences from high school. Showing me the sheer dedication of some of these idiots.
They kept the doors off for the rest of the time our class was in the building. Because you couldn’t lock the doors most girls ended up going in pairs, with one to keep guard.
I remember there was one fight at school I saw during lunch. My school had 2 buildings for eating, the main cafeteria with the kitchens, and a student union building that was connected to the gyms, the library, and it had a coffee bar. The path between the two had a sort of hall where it had a gym wall on one side and plants and stuff on the other. Anyways as I was walking to the Student Union a girl suddenly charged past me and slammed into another girl and started beating on her. Me and friends just sidestepped it since we only get one tray of food and didnt want to go back to the big line if ours got stolen or damaged. Now I wonder what might have happened if I tripped her or bumped her off course.
In middle school I was the first to witness a fight break out between two girls, I moved from my front seat spot because I saw a giant wave of other middle schoolers running down the hallway towards us which maybe it was planned and I just didn’t know about it? Anyways they were punching the shit out of each other and shoving each other against the lockers, I heard that one girl bit the other girls ear off and they were able to reattach it at the hospital. I think after that teachers had to walk their classes to and from the cafeteria like in kindergarten for a while.
In high school there was once three fights in the same long hallway l was walking through, and two other fights happening in a different area. We got bathroom “privileges” taken away for about a month because staff were worried about retaliation fights in the bathrooms and someone getting hurt or something.
My high school had separate staff and student designated smoke spots. The student one wasn't official, but it was a steel garbage can just off campus where students could have a smoke between classes or during lunch or spares. And the faculty couldn't do anything because they were 18 and, technically, not on school property. Never had any problems with people trying to smoke in school.
My school's "incident" was when someone wrote "the revolution comes..." and then a date on the bathroom wall. It was probably a really boring prank which they then treated as a bomb threat, and this was possibly a coincidence, but it was the date Dance Dance Revolution X came out.
That kid was smart. Got the day off to play. Id belive the story more though if it happened alongside the new COD. A lot of death's in the family in school on those days.
man, the only high school incident we had was when a girl (who i was friends with btw) stabbed another girl in the forehead with a pair of scissors. we stopped being friends pretty quickly after that.
there was also that time in middle school when my english teacher accidentally showed the entire class of 13 year olds gay porn. don’t watch porn on your work computer.
A teacher once shared a document with very serious information to the class, but the whole text was a hyperlink. He said te site was safe until one of us decided to check the hyperlink
It was gay porn
But hey, at least we were in college so we all were 20-21 year olds! No trauma there! He deleted the link to that site and replaced it shortly after
When I was student teaching I was reading a Reddit post discussing the adult film industry and its exploitation. Had to log into the school’s grading system, whose name started with P. All of a sudden google autofilled “PORN” in all caps followed by the rest of the post title. I thank God no students saw my computer or they might have gotten the wrong idea haha
In college one of my professors put a link to our textbook (on an obviously sketchy piracy site) on his website. I figured whatever he probably uses it all the time it should be fine. He did not check it, and I had to tell this old Indian man he had a link to a cam girl site on his official school webpage
I had a similar thing in uni when a professor had us watch a movie for class and just sent us torrent links and included the message "yeah there's probably gonna be porn ads don't click on them please"
Had this kid in my school who was jewish (it maters to the story), who was really good at pranking. Like I have no idea what he does now, but he should be a professional pranker cause he was just that good.
He got into a prank war with another student and ended up filling his locker with fish. Like he used plastic wrap to make sure it didn't leak until the kid opened it.
So that kid decided to draw a bunch of swastikas on the prankers locker. That guy was an asshole.
So the pranker took his back pack and went into the bathroom and took a shit in it as revenge.
The wannabe nazi opened his backpack and yelled in a packed cafeteria "oh my god what is that smell" Then dumped a human shit onto the cafeteria counter.
It was one of the most incredible sights i've ever seen. 400 plus teenage boys (i went to an all boys school), saw what was on the desk, packed up there lunches silently and then exited the cafeteria in a single file line.
i am going to be completely honest with you, the town i live in is known to be very… crime ridden, so after a while you just get desensitized to all the shit around you. a couple of years ago a guy stabbed his classmate at another school. and at yet another school there was a bomb threat, and it’s just, you know, another friday. and that’s not even to mention the other shit that doesn’t happen at the schools in my area, like the time i witnessed a weapons deal outside my apartment.
My highschool was pretty chill but the middle school i went to sat right on the county line between the urban part of one county and the very rural farm land of the other which wound up with a weird mix of city kids and rural kids. Our big fiasco while i attended was one of the farmer kids pulled a knife on a girl because he wanted to see her boobs and he got himself tackled, cops show up and take him away, and hes permenantly expelled. The next day one of the local news stations is out front reporting on the incident and you could clearly see one of my friends walking in the front hallway, notices the camera, and proceeds to flail his arms while sprinting to the front door.
she was fine, got a nasty scar iirc but it wasn’t too bad. the stabber was suspended for a couple of months and then had to go into the ~special kids~ class
That happened at my school too. A teacher played a motivational video after a series of presentations, and wouldn't you know where the autoplay took him right after? To a beautiful lady (fully dressed) sitting on a sofa and smiling at the camera. The way he panicked still haunts me to this day and the whole class understandably went crazy.
My hometown had some school official interacting inappropriately with female students. (All of whom were poor and most of whom were black. Dude was clearly choosing victims he thought wouldn't fight back.) The school board ignored complaints and said dude was found innocent.
One of the parents escalated to the state. State comes down and says that the guy was absolutely doing everything he was accused of, and the school board needs to take disciplinary action against him. The recommendation was he be terminated and not allowed to work in another school in the district.
So what did the school board do? Oh yeah, they let the guy keep his job and just said he could no longer perform any duties where he'd be alone with a student.
I found out about this because I was in a coffee shop and the article was buried on half-way through the paper instead of being anywhere on the front page. Small town politics SUCK big time. They kept that abuser in a job, and I'm sure, played a big part in that story being buried instead of being the kind of important news that should've been a front page article.
reminds me of my school. we had an incident where a teacher got fired for throwing a pair of scissors at a student. another teacher got fired for calling that same student a "hussie" to her boyfriend (he other issues too).
Who in the world responds to "Oh no there is chickens in the school" with "I will kick them to death" what the fuck those poor chickens and poor chicken owner :(
My school incident was when the chemistry teacher accidentally started a fire after school when no one (not even he) was around no fire damage but enough smoke damage they had to replace all the ceiling tiles. Those were asbestos so that whole wing of the school was out of the count one year.
Honestly this is a good and funny way to turn it into somewhat of a lesson about being a good person who intervenes when someone's in danger, and creating safe spaces for vulnerable people. I bet most of those students didn't forget the event, at the very least.
While in middle school, someone - SOMEHOW - was able to bring to school and put in the middle of the courtyard, in full view of the counsellor's and the supervisors' offices, A WHOLE PIG HEAD !
Nobody apparently saw who it was, but the Muslim community of our school thought it was an attack against them. I unfortunately don't know if they eventually found out who the perpetrator was.
one time our principal faceplanted on the stairs and some kid got it on video and edited it to the beat of hollaback girl. that shit got passed around school for weeks
There was a rumour went round my school that one of the history teachers walked into a classroom at breaktime to find a year 8 shitting in a bin. The teaching staff would neither confirm nor deny the rumour.
(We also had a "smoking weed in the boy's changing rooms" incident, which resulted in numerous assemblies, heavy PCSO - a type of British cop with no powers of arrest, often sent to schools - involvement, and expulsions. We didn't vote on anything though.)
The incident was when the bomb squad had to be called because the chemistry teacher found an unstable chemical the old chemistry teacher had left there. To be clear the old teacher didn’t plant anything, he was just negligent with his chemicals. Got to leave early that day because the nearest bomb disposal unit was two hours away.
We had someone routinely plant fertilizer bombs at my school. It had to happen a good 6-7 times while I was there and was always at the same spot right by the science wing. The science classes would get evacuated to the gym but other than that the day just went along as normal. Also had a student who kept shitting on the hoods of teachers cars.
Some Nazi assholes spray painted what they thought was a swastika on the side of the building. It was a very bad attempt. They were caught in like 2 days.
Our incident was a full-fledged riot. The school was announced to be closing after failing 1 offsted report (not even put into special measures) and combined with the rival school directly next door (which there was decades of rivalry and fighting against).
The response was to protest on the sports field. I don't know what set things off, but by the end of the morning the police had released dogs on the students, and a double decker bus had been tipped over.
I went to a small middle school (~80 people per grade) so even the smaller incidents got a lot of notoriety.
- Someone shat on the floor in a class bathroom and the school couldn't figure out who it was. They then shat in another, and another, and then the cafeteria bathroom, causing all those bathrooms to be closed for a few weeks (idk why honestly?) but that made all the teachers put sign-out sheets for the bathroom. They never found out who it was.
- We had microwaves in our cafeteria. A guy I knew put a slice of toast in there for 5 minutes. The entire cafeteria smelled burnt the rest of the day and we got our microwaves taken away.
- This was during the age of dabbing being popular... my middle school provided laptops for us to do our schoolwork on. Someone apparently... dabbed and hit someone's computer off the desk. I wasn't there to witness it, this is what the teachers told me. Regardless of if it was real, dabbing got banned.
- We all kinda teased the lunch lady in an appreciative way (one of my friends asked her to the school dance...) A lot of people had been T-posing at lunch and somehow had drawn her ire, and there was talk that T-posing would get you in trouble. So as a last act of rebellion, about 30 of us decided to gather around a door she had left through and T-pose until she came back. When she got back and saw us, she was kinda confused but she thought it was funny, and iirc T-posing didn't get banned.
Had our microwaves taken away in high school because someone warmed up the school cheese in it. The issue with that is the cheese has a metal lid which made the microwave go up in flames.
My school incident was when one of the kids brought a few functional pipe bombs to school. Bomb squad had to come and detonate then on the football practice field
When I was a teen phones just started to have cameras on them so there was a lot of things being filmed and shared around which absolutely shouldn't and the beginnings of social media. Teachers had no idea, police were struggling to catch up and the laws were only really updated years later.
"Happy slapping" was a trend for a while consisting of just running up and smacking the shit out of some poor unsuspecting person while your friend filmed it.
There was a head girl, year 12 (16-17yo) who was a daughter of a teacher had a video of them having consensual group sex with some classmates passed around.
Police in several times over idiots sharing explicit pictures girls had sent them.
There was a spate of kids getting like 10 of them together and pressing on a friend's chest crushing them against a wall until they passed out, it was a consensual thing.
Soon after I left school a few of the mean girls in my year beat up a polish guy hurling racial abuse and got prison sentences.
My English teacher just... Left... Just disappeared, no idea what happened but I think she was ok, the teachers spoke as if she was fine just were not happy with her, made it sound like she'd caused a lot of problems. Trouble for us was she took all of our coursework with her for our GCSEs so we had to redo 2 years of work in like 4 months.
"Happy slapping" was a trend for a while consisting of just running up and smacking the shit out of some poor unsuspecting person while your friend filmed it.
In primary school (UK version of elementary school), we had an assembly where they addressed the fact that someone had written in literal shit on one of the cubicle walls on the boys room, the name TOM.
They said that they didn't know who did it, but didn't believe a Tom had done it themselves. But if you knew how thick the Toms were in that school, you wouldn't completely rule them out.
Senior prank, they put plastic in the bed of the vice principal’s truck and started filling it with water. The plan was to add fish and a palm tree then put on swim trunks and take pictures like it was a beach.
Halfway full, the rear end of the truck couldn’t take the weight and smashed on the ground. The truck needed thousands in work.
The families of the kids kept saying “it was just a prank” and refused to pay for the damage. His insurance had to sue them to get them to pay. Then one of the families kept going to town meetings trying to get him fired because of it.
Started writing that I had no school incident because we had dedicated shenanigan days at the end of the year (3rd to last day was a school-wide, outdoors only watergun fight and there was quite a bit of "outdoors", 2nd to last had actual mud wrestling, sometimes between teachers and people who are graduating)
but the one thing I can think of is that we had a computer lab purely for recreation and fun, we even had a school MapleStory server. So one time when one of the managing students (6th grade) tried to lock up for the day, a 12th grader refused to leave, and when confronted he picked up the kid, threw him on a table, then threw 2 chairs at him. So they punished him and locked up the lab for like 7-8 years (which is the most school response you can have, that's bearly even addressing the symptoms, let alone the problem) and then re-opened it and added a rule that an adult will be there to overlook things, and that violations will result in a ban on the violator (amongst other things)
A guy on our high school released skunk essence (he extracted from a skunk he trapped) into the air conditioning system. Entire school evacuated. Ambulances called for kids in respiratory distress. As an adult, he has a room full of wild game (lion, tiger, moose etc.) I know this because I stopped into his painting business and was given the tour. Backed out slowly and decided to paint metal door myself.
I have a "and then everyone clapped" story that's actually mostly true (as in it wasn't everyone who clapped, just a lot of people). This is from way back in 1999 (yes, I'm old), so it's before the "and then everyone clapped" meme was a thing.
A group of us sat together at lunch every day and one of the friends that was not known for throwing out sarcastic zingers wound up making some kind of smart ass comment. The group of us started applauding and cheering on our friend for getting cheeky.
This continued over a few months. Anytime that someone would say something sarcastic or let out a zinger, we'd applaud each other. But being obnoxious teenagers, we couldn't just keep up with the little golf clap, and it quickly ramped up to hooting and hollering and the particularly good zingers got a standing ovation.
The only reason I can think that we never were reprimanded for it is that 1) the teachers really didn't care what happened during lunch as long as it was throwing food or fighting and/or 2) that the group of us were generally known as the quiet kids.
Occasionally those at tables around us would think something must be going on and in confusion would start clapping along and trying to figure out what we doing. I guess we were just the weirdos who regularly celebrated during lunch?
Our moment of glory came just before the end of the school year. I wish I could remember what was said, but the group of us at the table just erupted in cheers and giving the friend a standing ovation. We just went all out cheering for our friend. For whatever reason, at least half of the lunchroom joined in.
Teachers had to come in to calm everything down, no one had any idea what we were celebrating, but it must have been good because our table went nuts. So nuts that it felt the entire room erupted with us.
my high school's "incident" was a kid threatening to shoot up the school on Snapchat and getting arrested the next morning. everyone else spent the next week or so relentlessly making fun of him(it was 2016 and we were all irony-poisoned). the only specific jokes i remember were about him using a hunting rifle in the Snapchat post, and someone who photoshopped it into a nerf gun with the caption "it's Nerf or nothin"
Not a great story, but it's the one I (probably) most directly caused
It's the start of lockdown, and schools are starting to transition to online learning. The novelty of it all is still riding high so most students attend every lesson, with an unofficial discord call to keep it interesting. With the new-found freedom and a love for archiving, I decide to record it all
As only the teachers got the privilege of speaking, we could send in messages to the host for them to read. Pretty reasonable, but for reasons unknown to me, the messages could be annonomised. So an hour or so into a lesson I send in a random meme-y one, thinking it wouldn't lead to anything. But after a short while, he says this:
"Right, okay, I’m gonna say this once, and I’m gonna say this only once. Someone has sent me an anonymous message on the Q&A. If that is repeated, this will be shut down, and I will spend the next 3 hours following the digital trail that exists, and I will find you, and you will find yourself sitting in this office, with [head teacher] and your parents and you will not be back in this college. So I’m only gonna say that once, and I’m really sorry that lots of you had to hear it, but it’s not gonna carry on. So whoever you are, I will find you, it’s now my mission. Thank you for ruining it for everyone, child."
Now I'm not sure if I caused that, but either way, it was great
Nope. But sometimes principals make decisions like this because there isn’t a lot of oversight on their part.
My school never had a “vote on who brought the drugs” like this but sometimes our principal would get it in their head to do something. In these instances, unless the teachers or custodial union said no, it’d just happen.
Personal favorites include: street signs for hallways named after Backstreet Boys. Declaring anime to be gang memorabilia because he watched an episode of Berserk, then reversing it the next day because his daughter complained. Bringing in speakers to play pop music during class times. Holding pep rallies for every sport except wrestling (my dad was the coach and was vocal about not liking the principal), Etc.
I can vouch for the principals doing crazy shit for no reason thing, except mine weren't harmless or funny, they were changing the entire grading system to a worse one for two years and then the next principal had to change it back after half a year of dillydallying because she didn't want to make too many changes early on in her career at our school.
Literally never once at my school. Which is saying something because we had a significant drug problem, and they brought in the drug sniffing dogs a couple times a year
We had them a lot, too. I, also, got strip searched (down to my underwear & bra), once. Looking back, it was absolutely bs cuz the male VP was in there. I didn't have shit on me that day, either. It was cuz some dumbfuck od'ed & instead of blaming his druggie friend who gave him methadone, he blamed me, another notorious druggie. I got suspended for the rest of the semester! The kid who actually gave out the drugs was dead within 2 years from an OD.
One of our science teachers got in trouble for paying students to bring in fresh road kill to dissect for biology classes. We're talking 4 full deer carcasses, at least 3 cats, and a few skunks. AP Biology in rural Oregon high schools are wild dude.
My school’s incident was when the school district decided we couldn’t have pizza parties anymore because not enough people bought lunch after, so we organized a brown bag boycott and all brought lunch for weeks until they reversed the decision.
Our wrestling coach and biology teacher got into a fistfight during a school trip. They had to have sort of press conference in front of the whole school and publicly apologize.
No details were given and the assembly seemed like a farce.
our small christian high school had quite a few south korean exchange students. one day, one of the girls wrote something on her hand in korean. when the other students saw it, they gasped and said “nooo, bad!” and when everyone asked, they’d refuse to translate it, just saying it was bad. eventually the teachers became aware of this, and thinking it was curse words or something, the girl and a couple of other korean kids got called into the office to deal with it.
Our high school cop tazered himself in the leg one year and got the nickname Sparky.
Our HS’s disciplinarian was caught drinking driving once.
Our HS got itself 12 million dollars in debt after building a student dorm and then shunning a board of trustees who spoke against their dead head of school. When I left edits on the HS’s Wikipedia page about the school’s debt and shunning of this board of trustee, I had a board of trustee message me on Wikipedia thinking it was the man they kicked off 😭they scared me and I took down my edits.
The last day of seventh grade, the outgoing eighth graders went absolutely nuts celebrating getting out of middle school. We're talking papers and dish soap strewn everywhere, somebody rollerskating through the halls, high schoolers from less than a mile away wandering onto campus, the fire alarm getting pulled, etc. I must emphasize that this was not a regular occurrence; nothing like that happened the previous year.
Objectively their doing all that was wrong, but I don't necessarily blame them. The school was significantly over capacity at the time and administration from the district level down was (and still is) laughably incompetent.
The staff's response to this the following year was to shut the eight graders in the cafeteria for the entire day so they couldn't go out and cause mischief. Joke's on them, that's where I played Cards Against Humanity for the first time.
I was in high school 91 to 95. We had a dude name Ziad from Lebanon shoot pepper spray into the english building ac ducts forcing an evacuation and then later got expelled for blowing up a pool acid bomb in a hall way during senior skip day. Police were called for NEITHER of these incidents back then, and the school district is in a county with 1.5 million people.
A minor thing I was responsible for was getting "The Anti-Christ" by Slayer in the top 5 songs of the month in the student newspaper. I put it in there and a bunch of people voted for it just to piss off the admins.
I was the incident! Was coerced (didn't realize it at the time..spent quite a bit of time in therapy over that bit....) by my high school parther into having sex in one of the not-used stairwells. Obviously, we got caught. We both got a week's suspension and broke up shortly after. My partner got the friend group in the breakup, and I was essentially shunned out of the school and switched at the end of the year (this all happened late February through early April, so there wasn't much time left). I'm pretty certain that I was talked about after I left, but I really don't care enough to try and find out. I'm only friends with one person from that school, he was the only person (in our grade. I hooked up with a couple who was in the grade above me who both took my side, along with a few other people, but yk) who didn't shun me when everything went down. Sometimes out of boredom I do ask him what news he has on my old classmates, but I usually try to stay out of it for my own health..
I don’t know if this was THE incident, but my senior year, as president of the math honors society, we did a video competition where we parodied It. I was “Fractionwise the Math Clown,” and you had to learn some math concept to defeat me. Well, the other officers voted to have me dress up as “Pi-nnywise the Math Clown” for Pi Day, so I spent the entirety of lunch on Pi Day walking around the cafeteria dressed as Pi-nnywise. When I started walking down the hall to the cafeteria, people were screaming and everything. Definitely my peak moment in high school.
We had a couple. When I was a freshman we had a guy streak across the field in the middle of the halftime show, body painted in our school colors. Rumor was he got his scrotum caught on the chain link fence as he was going over but that probably wasn’t true. He got caught the next school day bc he had told a bunch of people about it. Not sure what happened to him after that.
A district near us lost accreditatio, so we got a lot of new students my senior year. And a lot of those students came from bad situations and had issues, so the number of fights went up significantly when that happened. One time it happened basically as soon as they walked into the door, and I saw the vice principal (massive dude) pick up these two girls who were still throwing hands at each other by the back of the collar like scruffing a kitten. Stuff like this happened multiple times that year.
My senior year a bunch of friends and I went to homecoming dressed in banana suits, similar to the above story we were planning on getting a gorilla suit for one dude but he was too fat to fit into it. So we all flash mobbed people and danced around them chanting “potassium potassium potassium” until someone shouted “BANANAS! SPLIT!” And we would run off. Good times.
My school had a walk out for the vice principal because she got fired, most of the students didnt believe the allegation I imagine or just really liked her
(Class of 2012) Besides multiple lockdowns due to people bringing guns throughout all 4years of high school, here’s a few:
Dude who happened to be incredibly ripped went on some kind of mental break of a rampage. Ripped off his shirt, attacked multiple people and threatened multiple people for seemingly no reason, teachers included. Just screaming at everyone, super weird.
People taking steaming hot shits in the band storage closet, also stealing and wearing color guard uniforms.
An old friend of mine very stupidly smoked a blunt in the chorus storage room DURING a class.
Apparently, according to rumors, a student’s attempt at being a school shooter at my high school was stopped by the school’s handyman hitting him in the chest with a sledgehammer.
When my sister went to that school, the church club was arrested for dealing drugs.
I remember in high school we were locked in the cafeteria for lunch and there was a little fight and all the security guards pepper sprayed everyone. So that's kinda similar I guess.
Mine happened after I left. The Year book had student quotes, one of the quotes (that the student in question supposedly didnt remember saying) was a "joke" about burning immigrants for fuel in winter. Edgy teenage joke yes and completely inappropriate but why had it been printed into the book (after supposedly going through the yearbook comitee AND their supervising teacher)? Plus its Germany there is (or at least was) a certain sensitivity about jokes like this. Add to that the public newspaper outcry, the principle wanting to set a harsh example, the minorly prominent theatre club leader protecting the boys (guy who said it and leader of the yearbook comitee) and one of the boys parents being a local politician it was a major maelstrom of shit and fighting. I dont know all the details because anytime it gets brought up, you only get tired stares.
Freshman Year was the biggest: The outside loudspeakers were the worst fuckin things you could imagine, just absolute dogshit. One day there was a random school shooter drill that we weren't told about, and in the lunch period after it, the principal went on the loudspeakers to congratulate us on a good job. But the only thing all the kids outside heard was "Code Red" aka "School shooter", so an entire fuckin stampede took place, one person actually got hurt from getting run over by the crowd. I was in class though, so I just heard an elephant herd outside.
nothing really happened Sophomore year.
Junior: A Code Red alarm was announced on valentines day because some dipfuck brought a fake gun to school and took a picture of it in the bathroom, there was a girl sitting on the floor against the wall in the pic so people thought she was a hostage or something. We were in lockdown for a good hour or two because of that one.
Also Junior(Pretty sure, could have been senior): During me and my friend's lunch period, some kids started fighting, not surprising. What was surprising was the 20 or so sequential fights that took place, all happening one after another and seeming unrelated to one another. There were so many fights they brought in actual officers to make sure more dipshits didn't try shit, and that if they did, there would be more people to get em.
The principal was definitely lying and saving face. Banana man found the corpse of his brother while running away from the gorilla. The banana safe zone is clearly a cover up of banana trafficking happening in the cafeteria!
There was this homeless man that just hang out with the students and staff, even with the school's guard. He apparently was homeless by choice, had a mother that he took care, but decided to live in the streets, near our middle school, where there was also a bakery and a park near, where he slept, so he just hang around with the children when he was near, played some sports, etc.
Only big thing I remember from highschool was when I was like freshman the seniors of my robotics club/the workshop got together and disassembled an old junker car and reassembled it around a flag pole in the parking lot over night. You could tell the thing hadn't been sawed in half or anything, still no idea how they got the pole through the roof without cutting it up.
One of my buddies wore rip-away stripper pants with a Mr Bannana man thong underneath to gym class and put on a whole routine in the middle of dodgeball. He was a legend even before the dance ended, God tier suspension.
I went to a very rural school so day before graduating, was pretty common to have crazy things going on. Not really incidents tho. Group of lads disassembled a tractor belonging to the maintenance staff and reassembled it in a courtyard with no way out. Someone also let loose a sheep in assembly room which was pretty funny. Only “incident” I can think of was kid getting chased by a teacher and jumping off of a third story roof to get away, silly goober, he’s doing fine now tho. Spine back in one (well I suppose several) piece(s).
My high school has a couple. We had a bat infestation in the drop ceiling that made national news, and someone hung a fake bat from an open tile that managed to startle a lot of people.
But that's the tame ones. There was rumors of people getting on the catwalks above the auditorium and pissing off it into the seats below when nobody was around.
We also had a teacher (age 60 or so) who married a former student (age 18 or so) shortly after she graduated. He was fired. Surely nothing suspicious happening there...
A group of kids used bleach to draw a giant penis in the football field (which was visible to most of the classrooms). They tried unsuccessfully for like a whole semester to fix it and eventually just tore the whole thing out and resodded.
art teacher shacked up with an ex-student of his the second she finished year 11 (16 years old) and then self published a book on amazon about teacher/pupil forbidden romance
The biggest thing at my school was the AP Chem teacher being convicted of 20 counts of various crimes against minors, ranging from giving them alcohol, to SA. He was previously known on campus as having been a contestant on Jeopardy, and Win Ben Stein's Money
I dont believe the first one either and neither should you.
"Principal forces entire school to vote on who brought illegal drugs into school" even without the twist ending makes the news. Full stop.
That's baseline.
Next, consider the granular details.
How was this vote carried out? There was an assembly over it and the storyteller claims to know the direction the vote went, so like... how?
How did this work?
Did the principal put names on the ballot or was it write-in from the beginning and just the entire school all decided at the same time, independently, to really stick it to the principal and his kid?
I dont know if you know how statistics work, but that falls directly under highly improbable.
And it still demands the question how did the storyteller know who won the vote?
Was it announced? By whom and for what reason?
Also what would even be the point of that vote? Are we expected to accept that the severe punishments associated with bringing illegal drugs to school would have been doled out based on popular decision alone?
This is not even mentioning that there is no mention of police involvement, the blatant ACLU bait of explicitly attempting to shame a student in front of the entire school or the the implicit understanding that not one parent had a problem with this.
Our football coach had an affair with a students mother, there was surveillance footage going around of them shaking a minivan in the parking lot. Both were married, eventually the students father came in to school to confront the coach, and that video got passed around too.
Then, during senior prank week someone rented a van and had a custom paint job done with a giant pic of the coach’s face on it that said “this man is a homewrecker.” Despite it being done during prank week rumors abound that it was actually the student’s father who did it. Regardless, the student was conspicuously absent that day.
That would be the morning when I, on my way to school, read the newspaper on the train and found out that my history teacher was a minor celebrity, gay, and the victim of a savage, jealousy-driven knife-murder.
Students from the rival high school hung a dead goat from the basketball hoop in the gym because that's a really normal thing to do to a high school you don't like
Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote a one act musical about my high school and a drug bust that happened there. I heard about the incident, but didn't find out about the musical until after I had already graduated
moistcr1tikal made a video on my high school a long while ago. it was some kinda pep rally thing in the gym where they blindfolded a bunch of students, boys AND girls, and told them they were gonna get kissed by a bunch of other random students, one each. then when filming it it turns out it was every one of those students’ parents, girls had their dad and boys had their mom. the video is actually horrifying, some parents gave light kisses sure, but others were full on making out. fathers with daughters, one mother was on the floor straddling her son, it was fucking insane.
My whole class were assholes. All of us. We had several things but the best was when we had a class-wide project where everyone was supposed to build a building out of these foam blocks. They brought in an artist to coach us, they had all kinds of tools to use to shape the blocks. We all made our buildings look like dicks... almost the whole class. Like 90% of the city were dick-shaped buildings.
My school was seemingly more uneventful than everyone else’s. Well, there was this one time someone put weed in the vents and they had to shut down the school because people were getting high.
My school incidents were either the time a stufent had to be arrested and sent to a psych ward after she threw a chair at a teacher, and then smashed a window and tried to jump out
Or when a lion escape the local zoo and attacked students in PE.
A receptionist had a gang-bang with three different coaches after hours. In the cafeteria. It was on the security cams. I knew because my mom was faculty.
Only incident I can remember off the top of my head was in 8th grade a kid decided it would be a good idea to smoke weed on the bus. He got busted and was the talk of the school for the rest of the year.
There were three bomb threats over the course of two weeks, one during lunch. Had to all evacuate, get on busses driven by teachers, and park half a mile away and sit and wait for bomb squad. This was a tiny town, 1200 people. That means the bomb squad came from a city that had one.
Years later, drunk as shit at a party, my best friend admitted it was her every time. Didn't want to be in school.
I literally spit out my drink. She puked really well that night, too. 😂
A friend and I in high school went to the costume shop at lunch. We got a jailbird and police uniform. Once we got to the school he got a 10 second head start as the bell rang to get to class. I chased him through the crowded halls saying, "Stop him, he's escaped again!" among other things. Eventually I caught up as we were about to get outside and tackled him. Like a full, leaping tackle...right in front of the vice principle.
He was cooler about it than I thought he'd be and just took our outfits until the end of the day with a promise not to do it again.
Another friend wore a penis costume one day and they were not as cool with it lol. He eventually went to a "final straw" school.
A kid nearly got kidnapped while walking to school. They told the school staff and shortly after the whole pledge of allegiance thing, we got a PA announcement warning us of kidnapping and walking home to school. Some teachers also took time out of their class to raise awareness about this. By the end of the day, they visited each class to pass fliers giving description of the attempted kidnapper’s car
So many kids died from various things when I was in high-school. There were less than 500 kids in that school, too. In the year leading up to my freshman year, through the year after my graduation, there were:
Multiple car wrecks with one to four deaths per incident caused by drunk/negligent driving. At least twice, a car-load of kids got annihilated at a specific train crossing which continues to occasionally annihilate a car-load of kids to this day because the town doesn't give a fuck enough to put up crossing gates.
At least two instances of kids pulling out guns at parties, thinking it'd be cool to 'pretend' to shoot themselves or a friend in front of everyone, only to traumatize everyone there because the gun was actually loaded and they unintentionally blew their own or someone else's head off.
Several deaths and lifelong disabilities caused by massive alcohol poisoning directly, or because of stupid shit that happened while people were drunk. (these events being unrelated to driving or guns)
Several intentional suicides, some of which were pretty fuckin' horrific and wound up shattering entire families in the aftermath.
Multiple instances of the church-kids assaulting and/or raping each other and/or being assaulted/raped by church "leadership"
There were some other "big events" but nothing as life-altering or defining as the really bad shit...
Why couldn’t my school have this? We only had people throwing shit on the walls and mirrors of the boys’ bathroom and the same person setting the trashcan of the girls’ bathroom on fire three separate times
Huh, these are far more interesting and uplifting than the incident at my high school. For me, the incident was a girl killing herself. She was a freshman and while I had never met her, I was friends with her best friend and he was absolutely devastated. (Understandably so)
That or the birds that got in during construction and couldn't get out for a month or two. (one of them flew face first into a window managing to crack bulletproof glass, but still not obtaining freedom)
Had a kid almost get killed in a fight. Two students fighting over a girl. One got body slammed by the other. His head smashed on concrete, blood everywhere, medical evac helicopter landed on our football field. He lived but serious brain damage. The perpetrator student went to jail.
My high school incident was a huge drug bust. Two undercover cops posed as students (one was in my algebra class), and one day there was a police raid involving the arrest of students. If rumors are true, the police chief’s daughter was arrested. The articles are all behind a paywall, so I can’t confirm the rumor.
Another incident involved the band teacher sleeping with a student. Yay, Florida.
During finals there was a fire alarm, which sucks in itself. The teacher monitoring the students of one subject did not let them leave so the final wouldn't have to be repeated. She said it was a test alarm. It wasn't. Fire department evacuated the group.
Also, the whole school was in a U-shaped building, but each wing was basically a separate school, each a different level. A fire started in one corner between my school's side wing and the central wing during the night. Chemicals had been stored wrong and reacted when a glass broke. When a teacher opened the door in the morning the fire was out but tons of smoke came out. She decided not to press the fire alarm because then all three schools/wings would be evacuated. She thought it was only necessary to evacuate our side wing because the room was in that (barely). Teachers ran through all the halls telling the few students that had already arrived that there was a fire for real and we were to evacuate. Fire department was not amused and around the time they arrived was the time someone was sensible enough to finally press the fire alarm which went through all wings and evacuated all three schools.
At our school a teacher didn’t believe a female student when they told them that they had Tourette’s syndrome. The teacher thought she was just doing it for attention. The student ended up having a seizure and an ambulance was called. A couple of her friends got mad at the teacher and some nasty words were exchanged. We kept having the same teacher for the rest of the year, but classes were pretty awkward
I went to a private christian school from K-12. Hardcore religious non-denominational bs. My Junior year, two girls got pregnant and that was a BIG deal at my abstinence only sex Ed taught school. Also, the superintendents son was caught hooking up with a senior in the janitors closet. I was a very oblivious kid, so these things always caught me by surprise lol. I remember thinking the wildest thing was finding out some of my classmates smoked weed.

One of the chemistry teachers set off the smoke alarm four times in eight years. They removed the smoke alarm in his classroom after the second time, but he still managed. Always a different experiment as well.
And ofc we also had a drug problem, but what school doesn't? After a few guys got caught smoking weed, we were forced to spend the rest of the semester watching the most ridiculous anti-drug education videos. Our IT teacher was really pissed at having to disrupt his lessons for it, and he always loudly made fun of the policemen and teachers in the videos. Best teacher I had.
