Favorite teacher in the school was fired for having weed in his classroom. But it wasn’t his
He let baseball players keep their bags in his room if they were in his home room. Drug dogs came in and cleared the room. He took the fall even after it was known it wasn’t his
The baseball playing student was the most hated kid in school until graduation
Damn. Sucks for him but he sounds like a good guy.
In my high school once they started bringing in the drug dogs the school really started going downhill, it was essentially the beginning of the end. The school now looks like a prison. The nice green grassy hill ? All concrete and bars now.
Like they never really found anything big and it was really just harassing students because the dogs "smelled" something but they didn't actually find anything.
Are you sure it wasn’t his? I really can’t imagine why a grown teacher with a job would take the fall for a kid who would be tried underage. Like, I wouldn’t even feel bad for him if that were the case because that was such an unwise thing to do. Are you sure it went down like that?
I have my doubts too. He was willing to lose his job so that his student could… continue to smoke weed and bring it to school? That’s not exactly a righteous cause.
Not doubting your truthfulness, OP, just wondering if the real story got rumor-fied.
Depending on where it was, when it was, what the kid's status was, and how bad the charges would have been for him vs. the kid, it's possible he would have done it to keep the kid from "ruining his future" (anything from losing scholarships to being shipped off to juvie.) Meanwhile, he may have been able to pick up a different job without too much trouble, perhaps hoping the experience alone and/or his example could teach the kid a lesson.
Some teachers will do things for students that the kids' own parents wouldn't do. And sometimes there are other reasons, too, like the teacher getting fed up or burnt out and just needing an excuse to leave. It doesn't say he went to jail, just says he got fired, so it's likely pot was either legal for adults or he knew there'd be no way he'd serve for some other reason.
The kid would have been in far more trouble than the teacher if he got caught. He’d be expelled and his entire future would be completely toast. At least the teacher has a chance to rebound.
We had school police/security, dogs, etc. Given it's low on the list of 100 most populous high schools, and there was slight gang activity, it makes sense.
On the other hand, we had a substitute music teacher for a while and he and one of the students bonded over their mutual love of weed (while he and I bonded over nerd shit). She gave him special brownies without any subtlety, and he showed me happily right after she handed them over. Lmfao
Glad it wasn't a search day anyway.
Also I made merch for the actual teacher's return but that's another story and narrows down where I went and who I am pretty significantly.
Teacher did the right thing. It’s bad for him to have weed in school but for some baffling reason it’s considered far worse for a student to have weed in school.
