We had a whole school meeting in the auditorium about these little things people were making with paperclips that snapped and felt like a bee sting when you were hit with them. Not only did it raise awareness of the thing throughout the entire school, they were stupid enough to show us how to make them and use them to inflict bee stings.

We had a similar thing called hornets which was just folding a small piece of paper up and then using a rubber band to shoot it at people. Would sting similar to a bee sting.
Things escaped once people started using a second rubber band and using those foil yogurt lids to make the hornets instead of paper, those could easily draw blood.

This reminds me of when I was a teacher and the stupid clown hype was at its peak. The kids asked me if I’d seen any clowns creeping around and I said “oh yeah, right in the woods behind the school!” Obviously taking the piss. I can’t remember how admin got wind of this, but my vice principal at the time was one of the dumbest, most weirdly dramatic people I’d ever met. She called me into her office and said that’s a huge no no because now they have to report it as a serious threat to the campus. I was like “do you really think I saw clowns in the woods and also like what is the threat?” and she was so adamant that this was VERY SERIOUS. So this genius decides to go classroom to classroom telling the kids that NO ONE is allowed to ever talk about clowns in school again. Half the kids didn’t even know what this clown business even was. Obviously now all the kids are talking about fucking clowns and saying they saw one in the bathroom or in the street outside the school. It was such a stupid fucking mess.

It’s called the “Good Samaritan” Law. When I was still in active addiction I was hanging out at my dealers house and a girl overdosed. There was a house full of people and they all scattered like roaches (including the guy who was having sex with her during said o.d.). Only my girlfriend (Now wife of 5 years) and I stayed. We took turns doing chest compressions and called 911. I did go to jail for a previous charge but only for a week. However the detective that gave me the Good Samaritan paperwork definitely was implying it would only work if I snitched (I didn’t) but i am pretty sure it must have worked because I received no further charges.

I think i told this story somewhere on reddit before, but anyway....
Our principal at the time was a cool dude. Big supporter of the arts programs, super involved with everyday operations. Dude spent more time in the halls and classrooms with teachers and students than in his own office. We'll the head of the school board hated this our principal . Apparently they would have screaming matches at school board meetings.
One of the teachers reported one of the vice principals of sexual harassment and possible stalking after hours. The same day our principal learned about it, the school board head did too. He decided the principal was not taking it seriously enough and pretty much forced him into early retirement. This was seriously messed up cause he was the sole provider for his terminally ill wife and was apparently like a year away from reaching some goal he had planned for her (never found out if he made it happen).
Well the day we learned, he gave this 10 minute super passionate speech over the intercom, not about his termination, but how about how much he believed in all of us. Dude had teachers crying mid day. After it was done, none of the teachers kept up with the day. They all rushed to the office to figure out what was happening. No one taught any lessons, just straight up started telling the students all the drama above. Apparently 4 teachers just straight up packed their stuff and walked out. 2 or 3 others handed in a proper resignation by the end of the week.
Now in the same day, a different vice principal was in the middle of expelling a student, parents and a resource officer in the meeting. That ended up boiling over and the student and her dad started fighting the resource officer. I swear they had every cop in the county swarm the school cause they ended up having to hog tie both the girl and her dad. The day ended a bit earlier with officers escorting each individual class room the the school buses to leave.

One student killing another at a house party.
A teacher was accused of sexually assaulting a student. The teacher was under investigation and was placed on leave while the investigation was ongoing. The son of the teacher was angry about his dad being accused of this, so he showed up to a house party where the assault victim was. Her boyfriend came to the front door instead so the teachers son stabbed him to death.
Because they were of different races the school staff was worried that this would be seen as a racial issue. By coincidence, this was the time that Remember the Titans came out, so the school set up a massive field trip for the entire student body to go see the film in the theater. I had just moved to the town when all of this happened and felt very much out of the loop since I didn’t know anyone involved, but my classmates were really invested in the issue.

Very common in more rural parts, at least from what I know in Texas. Especially for very small towns or unincorporated areas that share school districts with other similar communities. Theres not a need for a large or constant police presence so the officers and the like have other jobs with in the community.
I got a speeding ticket in one of those small towns along a highway where it goes 70,55,40,35,30 in the span of like 60’ so I got nabbed for “speeding” thru town. I have to call in to the local judge to get the process rolling and could never get ahold of anyone and no call backs. I finally go desperate as my 90 day window was coming to a close and I called a random business next door to the court house and explain my situation to the SWEETEST old lady. She said “oh honey, the judge is also the local mortician and that business keeps him busier than the courthouse so just call down there and he’ll take care of you. Call me back if he doesn’t answer and I’ll walk out and find him for you.”
I call the funeral home and he answers and sure enough he’s the judge I’ve been looking for. He says he’ll call me back from his chambers. Five minutes later he does call me back in his much more serious judge voice. He ends up throwing out my ticket and just warns me to slow down next time I come through town. I honestly think he just didn’t want to fart with the paperwork as it was likely on him to handle.

Our vice prinicipal used our schools fundraising money that was for extracurriculars, dances, new equipment, etc.. and bought a dozen fancy custom embroidered jackets for themselves and a select few of the faculty. Apparently each jacket was +$400 due to the complexity of embroidering the school's logo onto the back, as well as personalized names.
None of the other staff knew they were doing this, or that they had used the school's event money for it. Some teachers who were gifted these jackets were horrified, they didn't want this.
He didn't get into any work trouble. Some teachers kept and wore their jackets, we had less events that year. Parents, students, and other staff were dismayed but ultimately powerless to punish him.

That's a culture killer right there. The jackets are the death knell, though.
We had a real tight knit bunch in our building that were in charge of all the fun stuff. Teachers they didn't like weren't extended invitations to help; students they didn't like weren't "elected" to student government. Game attendance was always poor and pep rallies were generally deflated. People called out a lot for days we had staff meetings.

popular girl died and whole school had to mourn. they hushed up she was drunk driving.
a not popular girl died and nary a word was said about her. she had CF. only got a * in the graduation book. they stopped the presses for the yearbook to insert a whole tribute to the popular girl.
wasn't a controversy to the popular people but, to us common folk... it was.

almost the same thing happened at my high school. popular jock died, we had a whole class field trip to his funeral, got lunch catered for the whole school and had a day in school with no classes at all. they even built and named a basketball court in his name. other kid died of cancer that he’s been fighting since he was in 3rd grade. we took a “moment of silence” and that was it bruh. insane.

something similar happened at my school. junior football player took his own life (very tragic) and we had a memorial and everything for him the next day. classes were pretty much free reign that day. same year or maybe the year after a freshman my brother knew passed away due to cancer. they never even announced it or offered therapists for friends and family of hers. it was like she never existed and i still think about it 8 years later.

Nothing happened because the money didn’t technically belong to the school district, and we weren’t allowed to get a new faculty advisor for some reason I can’t remember.

One day I saw a teacher storming down a hallway and commanded that all the post it notes be taken down and whoever made them admit to doing it. I didn’t understand what was happening until I realized someone had taken a post-it that said “just do it” and put it on a fire alarm 🤦♀️ I never came forward and was terrified for weeks but in hindsight it’s pretty funny

Technically my fault. In middle school I had a bit of a problem with being bullied by classmates so after watching Deathnote (movie) I decided to make my own. Bought a journal and wrote classmates names and how I’d like them to die, but never showed it to them. I kept it to myself and never brought it to school. Until I did. One day I accidentally grabbed it thinking it was a different book and brought it to school. I went out to the water fountain and when I came back some kids were snooping through my backpack and came across the book. From the 5 minutes I was gone the entire classroom saw that most if not all of their names were in my Deathnote.
Long story short: since I never acted upon this and only wrote about in my free time outside of school, I wasn’t severely punished. However I still went into counseling and no one ever bothered me again.

An English teachers younger sister was killed by a drunk driver. Shortly after she tearfully told her classes ( juniors / seniors) that if ANYONE was ever at a party and needed a ride home because they were drunk… they could call her. She would pick them up no matter the time and take them home safely.
A month or so passed and somebody took her up on the offer. When word got back to school that a student had been drunk, the admin demanded she rat out who it was so they could be properly punished. She refused and was fired.
Another teacher was fired when he was seen by a few male students entering a strip club one Saturday night. He was fired for immorality, though the admin never questioned what those guys who saw him there were doing there. All of their parents were pretty heavy donors to the school.

Really popular male teacher - early 30s, everyone's best friend - was sleeping with female students in his classroom on his desk. His door had a lock and a garbage bag over the door slit window, which we all found weird. He said it helped him focus when marking.
Eventually one of the girls grades were so bad that her parents started questioning her about it, and she basically confessed that her mental health was in the dumps because the teacher was sleeping with her, without protection, multiple times a week.
Once the school found out, the teacher was placed on leave, and all of a sudden all these other girls came forward as victims (privately, but scuttle spread quickly across the school). Must have been 8 or 9 in total by the end - turns out he was having sex / having them perform sex acts with multiple different students.
Was quickly charged and convicted after a guilty plea.

We were all stunned, because he was everyone's fav teacher - including mine. I had endless conversations with the guy about sports and TV shows and movies and all sorts. I know some of my friends opened up to him about various different things too. Just super trustworthy in so many of our eyes.
So we were shocked when the rumors started floating around, and to be honest, I remember being in denial thinking it just wouldn't make sense for someone like that, to be doing the things he was accused of doing, during school hours while all of us were in the building. No chance at all.
Eventually the school sat us all down in the main gym, and told us that he was going to be placed on leave, and that the school would be communicating officially over the coming weeks. That's when I realized "holy shit, this isn't just white lies and rumors".
It was something we all wanted to discuss, but something none of us were comfortable discussing - to this day, I'm pretty sure I know at least half of the victims (1 girl left, another took some time away, and there were 2 others that were in his office a lot that were in many of my classes). It's just horrifying thinking that it was going on right under our noses, to classmates and friends, and we were none the wiser.

I was the controversy. I was in high school when the first couple school shootings happened, and being a strange child they were so worried about me doing something dirty so they threw me in a class with an undercover cop. By the time I left high school most of the other kids in that class were arrested (one of the kids got arrested on a murder charge which felt super bonkers). My junior year the school requested I drop out. I had trouble with a lot of the teachers, they didn’t like me and it was noticeable. So I took the suggestion, dropped out and went in to get my g.e.d with an A- avarage. Went to college, and graduated with a B average. It’s insane that they tried to pin me as being a problem, when the real problem was how I was treated.
Saw that cop that ran the class after graduating college the first time and he was surprised I wasn’t dead.

I was also targeted as I was the lonely, quiet, goth kid that wore a trench coat in school when Columbine happened. It never got better after that.
But they went as far as to accuse me of things I didn't do. They tried to expell me for setting a desk on fire when there was never any damage to my desk in the first place. (I was super bored and flicking my lighter like kids these days would do with a fidget toy).
Another time the students created a rumor that I stabbed the shop teacher because he and I argued one day, then he wasn't there the next day, and then when he was back the next day he and I went back to having lunch at the same table because we actually got around really well. He was one of the only teachers that encouraged my imagination. The rumors to two weeks to dissipate somehow...
One of the administrators actually said, to my face, that I was being targeted because I fit the profile of someone that didn't belong and she wouldn't rest until she gotten rid of me. Too bad I could never prove it, it was her word against mine.
Anyway, I ended up getting expelled for skipping my 10th grade History class because that teacher harassed me and embarrassed me constantly. So i stopped going. I ended up getting my GED in another county, scored a solid A, and then went on to become a Master mechanic with a background in engineering (some school but not enough to finish my bachelor's. Time issues).

We had a couple of big ones. Both at my high school.
History teacher/football coach got caught having sexual relations with a girl on the cheerleading team. It was a really big thing around the school for a long time. The teacher had just gotten married to one of our guidance counselors not even a few months ago, and then he got caught doing that. He was fired, the counselor quit, and the girl (who was quite popular before all of this) got bullied so hard she moved schools.
Second one was our assistant principal getting caught fucking the school nurse during school hours. He also was cheating on his wife (they also had two or three young kids) by doing this. Same assistant principal who basically told me I would amount to nothing, and now he is still suffering from his divorce all these years later; oh, AND he got caught in a pyramid scheme and lost a shitload of money trying to recoup some finances from the divorce. Fuck you, Mr. Dillard.

So for example one teacher was couple of times drunk at work but the principal couldn't fire him because it would have been too difficult to find a replacement teacher. Another teacher had difficulties to do his work because he was too addicted to Windows Solitaire - the principal asked the coputer class treacher to uninstall the Solitaire from his work computer but couple of days later the teacher had found a computer nerd student who installed the Solitaire back to his computer. It was late 1990's so it was more difficult for the school staff to know how to install and uninstall software.

The the teacher leaned in the next window to see the damage, and cause that one to fall out too. Mind you we'd complained to engineering about the condition of the windows all year.
