“The professor stepped out of the room and returned almost a second later.
She packed everything up, said a quick, tearful goodbye, and left.”
Recently, I asked theBuzzFeed Communityto share theirteacher drama storiesthat people still talk about years later.

Here are the shocking, infuriating, and wild scandals they unfortunately witnessed.
Note: This post contains mentions of child abuse.
“Although it was in America, our high school had a British system with a headmaster and principal.

The principal was married to the headmaster’s daughter.
The principal also coached the girls' volleyball team.
Once one of the volleyball players graduated, she leaked that they had been sleeping together.

The principal lost his job and his wife that week.”
“In middle school, we had a math teacher who had a bit of an anger problem.
Everyone knew him as kind of an asshole.

He would regularly humiliate students in class and refuse to give bathroom passes.
Even if you answered that it was, he still said no.”
The tree got vandalized a lot.

I don’t think it lasted a year."

They both got fired."

He also flushed that kid’s coat down the toilet.
The teacher was fired, but not until later in the year.
The kid moved away after that, and I hope he’s okay."

“In my bachelor’s degree general education classes, I had to take a foreign government class.
At the end of the semester, our professor was explaining the final when the department head came in.

The professor stepped out of the room to speak to the head and returned almost a second later.
She packed everything up, said a quick, tearful goodbye, and left.
“We had this vice principal who was just the worst.
Short, bald, Napoleon-complex jot down of guy.
He was married, and I remember feeling really bad for his wife.
The VP ended up getting fired and divorced.
Nothing happened to the students who did it, either.
It was just wild to be a part of.”

“The school principal bought a motorcycle without his wife’s knowledge or permission.
Well, the custodian got in a near-fatal accident on said motorcycle.
“Last year, the sixth graders had a new science teacher.
He quickly became one of the ‘favorites.’
He was really funny, handsome-looking, in his late 20s/early 30s, and supposedly very rich.
[teacher’s name]' and talk about his money.”
“We thought it was all a little cringe but didn’t think much of it.
Then, halfway through the year, he was gone.
The sixth graders were devastated, and the girls even started crying.
At first, people thought he quit, but eventually, everyone found out he was fired.
We thought it was because he was teaching the wrong curriculum and forgot about it.
That’s right; a 30-something-year-old man was texting 11-YEAR-OLD girls who were convinced they’d marry him.
This year, the sixth-grade science teacher is a woman.”

“A math teacher was also the head of the theater department at my high school.
He was married and had a few kids.
After she graduated, he divorced his wife and went public with his new relationship the favorite dancer!
He even put her in charge of the dancers for the theater department.
It was very awkward.
I felt bad for his kids.”
The teacher said she ran into him.
It was investigated, and he didnt take any accountability.
The parents are now going to rightfully sue.
I had that history teacher in the seventh or eighth grade.
He was awful to everyone.
I also played soccer with his son as a kid.
His kid is just as bad.”

“I was at an all-girls school with a ‘brother’ school.
This teacher was a woman in her late 50s, so pregnancy wasn’t really an option.
It later came out that, actually, she had started an affair with her son’s BEST FRIEND!
They got caught while ‘engaging in explicit acts’ in the art department, and she was fired.
He was a cashier at the local Trader Joe’s for a few years after that.”

“In eighth grade, one of our sex-ed/PE teachers was fired for falsifying her qualifications.
A year after that, ANOTHER PE teacher was fired for falsifying qualifications.
They eventually divorced their partners and got married.”
He would act very erratically, but we chalked it up to him being quirky.
About halfway through the school year, after winter break, he was gone.
Students and faculty were confused; he had just disappeared and got replaced.
