Because he set up a camera in the middle school theater changing room (girl's side). His dumb a*s was on the beginning of the video, turning the camera on and adjusting a modified shoebox he put over it to hide it. A student found it and took it home, watched it with parents. Goodbye, Mr. Goebel.

Bc he got a cheerleader pregnant. Least he married her

He was actually just a substitute. Left quicker than he arrived. He told our class he practices judo so one student told him to show a move. The move he chose to demonstrate on this student in front of the class was a sleeper hold. Put that motherducker right to sleep and got charged with assaulting a minor.

That teacher was my step-dad. He got fired for being physically abusive to his students. Good for the students! Bad for me and my siblings who could not just fire him. As a side note, the only place he could get a job after that was on a reservation. He started pulling that s**t with those students and there was no long, drawn out firing process. They just vandalized our house and trashed the car. Done and done. I admired the f**k out of those rez kids.

He was the gym teacher for over 30 years. He volunteered to stand near the trash cans during lunch every day to ensure the students dumped their food and gave their finished trays to the cafeteria workers in an organized way. He had done this for decades. Even when my father attended that junior high. One day, a student decided to toss her entire tray in the trash instead of dumping the contents and giving it to the cafeteria work. He removed the tray from the trash and gave it back to her. She threw a carton of chocolate milk at his face, close range. He responded by punching her in the eye.

They posted a QR code for the Boston Public Library so that kids could get access to banned books. Not exactly fired, but written up for discipline and eventually during the process left the school.

Gave a student written confirmation of the zero tolerance policy, highlighting that any two students involved in a fight would get the same punishment. Next time the kid got bullied he f*****g tore into the bully and started pounding him in the head with a trashbin lid. The written confirmation got used to succesfully demand both students suffered the same consequences, especially after the student showed he had received confirmation that he wouldn't be punished more severely for fighting back. From that point "Can I get that in writing?" was basically a get-out-of-jail-free-card.

History teacher never really taught history. Sometimes he'd just yell at the kids in class. It got worse when his son died in desert storm. Then he spent half the class time crying. Assistant principal had to take over one too many days. Eventually he stopped coming to school and we never saw him again.

My Dad subbed (teacher) for a while after he retired. He got personally escorted out of a school once for doing “black magic” for 5th graders….. he did a card trick…. And he was in the process of cutting a sheet of paper in a way that makes it possible to walk thru it. He is currently banned for life from Deer Park public schools in WA. Side note: when I went to visit once we went to a bar. The bartender said, “Holy s**t, it’s [insert full name] Dude! I named my bong after you, Mr. [name]! I guess he really influenced the youth

He was asked to resign because he was engaged to one of the other teachers. They’re still happily married and he made more money as a carpenter. Great guy.

She dared a troublemaker to hit her. He said I don't hit people with glasses. She took them off. He backed down. She said "that's what I thought." He was disruptive and just an a*****e. She backed him down. Even 20+ years later I think she handled it perfectly. The school board disagreed and she got fired.

Called a black kid a “cotton picker”. He was a science teacher and we were using cotton balls in a science experiment… I’m unsure what he thought the outcome of this comment could’ve been other than immediate termination….

For being a s****y person and an even worse teacher. She was a complete a*****e to students and parents and she was even worse to the other members of the faculty. My mom was also a teacher at the school and she told me horror stories about this woman. She would confront other staff and verbally abuse and belittle middle school aged kids in front of other students. She even cursed out the other teachers in a staff meeting when they confronted her about her behavior. She was walked out by the vice principal in front of everyone in the cafeteria. The entire student body applauded.

She got angry with a student (dude was an a*****e, and would disrespect her daily), so she said he was a witless brat that only passed each year because his father was a corrupt lawyer that paid the school so he didn't fail every subject (she was right and everyone knew it). She got fired a week later.

All his classes were failing. He spoke unintelligible, didn't explain anything well and if anyone asked a question, he'd respond with 'ehm, ask someone else who does know'. As if we ever wanted to ask him anything unless the entire class didn't understand. This was my old chemistry teacher. He was fired halfway through the year, we then didn't have any chemistry classes for a while. The other chemistry teacher couldn't take over all the vacant hours, but she gave us a 3 week crash course at the end of the year. I learned more in those 3 weeks than I did in the first 6 months with the fired guy.

Had a samurai sword in his trunk, proceeded to unsheathe it during a fire drill because his lineup location was next to his car and show people… The best part was that after he got fired people posted flyers around the school of him photoshopped with a samurai outfit with a caption of “free my homie samurai so and so”

He showed us Pulp Fiction in history class and forgot to take out the tape when returning AV equipment.

She almost got fired for that, but somehow she stayed. She got pregnant with one of her students on prom night and found out after his graduation. The funniest part is, she was Sex Ed teacher.

An ex grew up in a tiny, nowhere town in Wyoming. One day they got a long lunch recess and their teacher was walked out to a car with some people in suits and military clothes. It turns out he switched dog tags with someone killed in Vietnam and the dead soldiers parents went to the military when their son didn't call or visit. He had hidden in one of the most isolated places in the US and it took enough time for him to finish a degree and get a job.

Some student made allegations that the teacher had assaulted them. Teacher got fired and career ruined, came out later that the student account was completely false and several students knew the kid intended to lie because he didn't like the teacher . The kid even made a false police report at some point during the whole fiasco. Everything came out later but the dudes life was already ruined

Embezzled something like 20000 from the school field trips she was in charge of scheduling for the whole school. All field trips that needed to be paid for she planned and took the money for. Overcharged the students but only deposited the amount for what the trip cost and kept the rest. Did it for decades and stole about 20000 dollars over time. Not only fired but charged and found guilty. Not sure how much time she was given

She had an 78% failing rate out of all her biology classes. The class was broken off into two days and one day you’d spend all day in class learning and the next day you’d spend time in the lab to learn the experiments. The problem with this system is we’d take a test, fail, and when we went to our lab we would learn everything we needed to know for that test we had just failed. As a class we came to her and explained to her what was going on and she caught attitudes with us every time. The worst part is instead of stepping up and trying to help us find a solution she’d hit us with the “when I was in school no one helped me” and followed that up with telling us to just read our text book. At one point there was homework that was supposed to be assigned and when she asked for it we got confused. Turns out she never posted it for us to do so when we told her that, she blamed us and told us we should’ve said something to her about the homework not being posted. The class I was in ended up having a 25 out of 27 people failing the class with the remaining people barely passing. We gave her a review and what I didn’t know at the time was not only did my entire class leave a bad review with their own stories but her other two classes also left bad reviews. She was fired the last day of classes.

She was going through a divorce. In hingsight, I guess it was a bit harsh for the school to fire her because of it. But she did kinda stopped giving us classes and just spent her time unloading all of her marital problems on a bunch of 13 year olds.

Burned an American flag in the classroom to illustrate free speech. She was a language arts teacher. Aside from the groups of people that would be upset by that, she also straight up lit a fire in the classroom.

She made us pay 5$ for homeworks that hasn't been done.

He wanted to date a teacher, and she turned him down. So, then he suspected that she was sleeping with a student. He then hired a private investigator and had her followed. She found out about it, went to the cops, requested a restraining order, and he was bought up on stalking charges. (It was discovered that she was sleeping with the student). Edit: He was fired. I don't recall her facing any sort of discipline. It was the 17 year old, star basketball player. It all started because he was bragging. The rumors of her dating a student started well before the teacher started pursuing her. The rejected teacher hired a private investigator because he heard the rumor mill. Most people in the school thought the two teachers were dating because the male teacher was always in her classroom, even during class hours. He would buy her flowers often. She was the cheerleaders coach, and he was always sitting in on her practices after school. The male teacher abruptly stopped going to her class and going around her. The private investigator and stalking accusations came 2 months after that. Everyone figured he had her followed/investigated after he was rejected.

My friend/her son was hit and killed by a delivery driver. At first, spent all day crying or not saying anything then went on leave. Came back and would have crying spells or just talk about her son and wouldn't teach at all. She pretty much went into a psychosis and never came back one day and was never the same again. I've seen her once outside of school years later and I don't think she will ever recover. I feel bad for her and often wonder if she ever got better.

She full bodied a student on the wall and started yelling at him because he wasn’t sitting still and “respecting” our 5th grade practice graduation ceremony. She was 6’2” and heavy set, he was frail… You can imagine how that went. She was a loved teacher though so she got hired back as a hall monitor.

My History teacher's son had an illness. I'm not sure what but it was terminal. He needed more time off to be with him and his family. Apparently he had used his allotted vacation/sick time up already and the school board wouldn't approve any more. So he just left. Can no longer be employed in the district because of it I heard. Everybody loved him too. One of the few teachers who really cared about his job and his students. The lady they brought in to replace him did nothing wrong but nobody could truly replace him. The whole class dropped about 5 points in grade because of it. I missed him a lot because he was one of the few teachers I ever tried to really impress.

One of mine was fired because she thought I was faking being sick to get out of a comp sci. That was the day I found out I am allergic to shellfish and can go into anaphylactic shock
