36 People Spilled The Beans About The Scandals At Their Schools That Shocked Everyone

Probably most of us have plenty of memories from our school years, whether we enjoyed them or not. Funny pranks together with our classmates, first crushes and fights with our friends, long hours doing homework or maybe even skipping lessons - good or bad, these memories may be slightly nostalgic. However, it's also important to mention that school, for some reason, is often associated with scandals that shake up the whole community.

While in some schools these scandals are minor and may be more like gossip or nothing extreme, other students can experience drama that may feel like a movie. On that topic, one Reddit user created a thread online asking community members to share the biggest scandals that happened at their school. And, well, let’s just say that they vary from teachers’ hookup stories to arrests.

While it may be ‘exciting’ to learn about some teachers’ love triangles at work, hookups and drama that happens between them, unfortunately, there are more and more stories and arrests of teachers charged with sexual abuse and misconduct involving their students.

The worrying increase in cases of sexual misconduct and teacher/student relationships, as shared by the Children’s Center for Psychiatry, Psychology, & Related Services, is more than likely due to the use of social media and cell phones.

According to The Washington Post, about 35% of the educators convicted or accused of sexual misconduct had used social media to gain access to their victims or to continue the teacher-student relationship.
