25 Ex-Students Are Sharing Their School’s Juiciest Secrets That 100% Should’ve Made Headlines

6.

“I had an English teacher who spent his classes talking about himself, his hobbies, and used his role to cosplay his actual ambition (writing about himself). He was beloved by the students. He coached soccer (for both the girls and boys), so he developed intimate relationships with many of the popular students. There was a rumour (shyly substantiated by him) that he had dated a couple of his former students. But only AFTER they had graduated, of course. At 15, I was clueless about the fact that he viewed the girls as nothing more than students until the moment they received their diplomas—then he’d suddenly become aware of their womanhood and attractiveness, and only then would he pursue them romantically?!? But, despite that naive delusion, he still gave me the creeps. Anyways, not long after I graduated, it came out that this teacher was romantically and sexually involved with my younger sister’s ex-best friend. She was in grade 10.”

“But that time, the rumour came out before she graduated. He quit. She graduated. The two of them moved out of the country together, where he got a different teaching job. They eventually broke up. But after that scandal broke, a cascade of similar scandals gushed forth. Other teachers and the headmaster came under fire for previous accusations that never received consideration, much less justice. My school was private, EXPENSIVE, and well-reputed, and when I visit their website now, the entire staff and faculty have been replaced. When this came out, my mom, feeling betrayed, said something to the effect of: ‘We didn’t pay them that much money to date our children!'”
