53 Insane School Rumors That Seemed Impossible—Until Shocking Truths Came to Light
There was a rumor that an incoming freshman had gotten so drunk over the summer that he passed out on a golf course and golfers found him the next morning and thought he was dead. They called to report a dead body.
I know the rumor is true because the kid was me.
There was always a rumor that the head janitor was a huge pothead and would smoke with students in one of the storage sheds away from the main building. I always figured it was b******t until my friend CJ sent me a pic of him and the janitor smoking weed while surrounded by folding chairs.
There was a rumor that a sub teacher was actually a new transfer student. He was able to cover it up for a week before getting caught. He stopped going to school after that. Years later we heard news that he was arrested for check fraud and identity theft. He was basically a con artist, impersonating airline pilots, doctors and lawyers. He cashed in fraudulent checks amounting to millions of dollars. After serving his sentence, he was recruited by the FBI and helped develop a patented check security/authentication that helped companies fight againts check fraud.
Some girl had s*x with her half brother, we all thought it was rumour until she got drunk at a party and told everyone.
Rumour was our new substitute English teacher was suspended years back for choking out a student.
By the end of the week with him he threw a table at a student and threatened to k**l him.
We were debriefed by our usual teacher when he came back. Was confirmed. We were not surprised.
(Edit: We were outright bad and did everything we could to test this rumour. Kids are terrible.)
(Edit-it: Given my guilt on receiving karma for being a terrible student, thought I’d give a quick shout out to all the teachers out there. You guys a f*****g champions that go way under appreciated and not just by your students. For all the youngins reading all these comments thinking ‘that’s f*****g hilarious/yeah sounds about right/what a psycho’: adulting can be brutal and very few jobs are as challenging as fronting a room full of teenagers that will destroy you given the chance and being able to not let it get to you. We may have a greater level of responsibility, but we’re still human.).
It wasn’t really a rumour, more of an open secret. One of our English teachers was in the IRA.
One of our history teachers once showed us a documentary about the early years of the Troubles, mainly the Civil Rights Movement. And sure enough, in the film, you can see our English teacher standing holding a rifle without even a mask on him. At that point it wasn’t really a secret anymore.
IRA membership was supposed to be secret, but if you were in it everyone knew about. The fact his membership was confirmed with that video always made me laugh
*Edit*
Was not expecting this to take off the way it did overnight. So here’s a bit more context.
This happened over 20 years ago
The school is in the north of Ireland, in a republican area. A lot of people (myself included) would have had relatives involved with the IRA and/or INLA. For example, the father of one of the boys, in my year at school, was a genuine local legend because of what he had done during the 70s when he was ‘on the run’. Other people would have been very close relations to a few of the Hunger Strikers, who died in 1981. Everyone and I mean everyone would personally know a member of those organisations, even if they weren’t related to one. What I’m saying here is, the IRA were an entirely normal part of our society. The vast majority of people would have seen them as legitimate and no different to how other normal societies would view their police and armed forces.
So, whenever we seen our teacher in the video no one was shocked, or anything like that – everyone already had an idea that he’d been a member. We just thought it was funny that he wasn’t wearing a mask.
There was a rumor going around in my high school that an English teacher and a biology teacher were sleeping with each other. I thought it didn’t make any sense at all, other than being strict teachers who graded harshly it’s not like they had anything in common and I’d never even seen them talking to each other or interacting in any way. They were both married and besides, she was young-ish and attractive and he was um…not. I had always figured that someone who managed to flunk both classes at the same time just decided to start a rumor.
My brother is 6 years younger than me and during his time at the school they both were fired suddenly in the middle of the school year. Turns out it was true all along, they had been caught “fraternizing” on school grounds. I was pretty surprised. Of all the weird rumors that go around in a typical school, THAT was the one that had to be true.
