Top 10 Shocking Reasons Teachers Got Fired
Aren't teachers supposed to be role models? From forcing children to eat crayons, to sexual Snap Chats, to straight up racism, these teachers are the worst of the worst. WatchMojo counts down ten shocking reasons teachers got fired!
#10: Sexual Snapchat
A young 28 year old gym teacher got fired for posting a nude picture of herself on Snapchat. As if that wasn’t enough, she also added a naughty message. Dionne Younce was completely out of her mind when she sent this photo to several students, including members of the school football team. She even called some of them afterwards to make sure they received the photos of her naked body. Many students admitted that this wasn’t the first time Younce sent them such revealing messages. Tsk, tsk. Ethics, people. Ethics!
#9: Twerking!
A young, 24-year-old teacher got fired for having a little too much fun during her vacation. In Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, she took part in a twerking contest, but unfortunately for her, someone filmed the whole thing and posted it on Facebook. One of the students’ parents came across it and really did not appreciate seeing their child’s teacher shaking her booty with far too much passion. Upon her return, she preferred quitting rather than being the laughing stock of the town. The poor teacher then received a lot of support on social media. The fact that she likes dancing in her spare time doesn’t make her a bad teacher!
#8: A trip to Wal-Mart Gone Bad
Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Go RVing This Summer
In the little town of Catoosa in Oklahoma, an adventurous teacher wanted to make her students happy by taking them on a trip to Wal-Mart. The problem is that she decided to fit nothing less than 11 students in a Honda. There were two in front seat, seven in the backseats and two in the trunk. Completely outraged, the parents made a complaint to the school, causing this teacher of 10 years to get the boot. Her intentions were good but her actions were very irresponsible. Two in the trunk? Really?
#7: Couples Counseling
Top 10 Most Famous Couples in History
This time, it’s not the parents who requested the firing; it’s the students themselves! In a school in the Bronx, a 45-year-old substitute teacher had nothing better to do than to ask 10 year olds for advice on her love life. She explained that it was only a game, using hypothetical scenarios. Since she was alone with 5 students while the others were on a school trip, she had nothing else to do. Oh and she was also accused of asking them to toilet paper a house and touched the thighs of two of the students. She denies those accusations, but was nonetheless kicked out.
#6: A Pornstar Teacher
10 Times Teacher Karens Faced Justice
Benedict Garrett lives a double life. He teaches elementary school by day, and removes his clothes at night to become a stripper and a pornstar. He got discovered when one of his students recognized him in a porn ad. The school board deemed his behavior unacceptable, but he was not fired. However, Johnny Anglais, as he goes by at night, completely disgusted by the school board’s closed minded attitude, decided to end his career as a teacher. According to him, being a pornstar does not make him a bad teacher.
#5: A Very Cruel Teacher
10 Shocking Crimes Caught on Security Camera
David Bessette, an American teacher, exhibited unacceptable behavior toward an Autistic student. Bessette dragged the 13 year old by the feet through the hallways before spraying him with water. Completely traumatized, the student removed his clothes and started running around naked in the school. We don’t know why the teacher acted in this manner, but whatever the reason, this is totally unacceptable. Shortly after, Bessette was fired. But one thing’s for sure: this boy won’t trust teachers, let alone any authority figures for a long, long time.
#4: A ‘Breaking Bad’ Teacher
10 Founders FIRED From Their Own Businesses
In Canada, a teacher had nothing better to do than to teach his students how to make methamphetamines. Apparently, it was during a play rehearsal that the teacher gave very precise instructions on how to make the drugs, to help the students better understand the play. One mom was worried when she discovered that her 13-year-old son came home with a sheet detailing the steps on how to make meth. She immediately filed a complaint, an investigation was opened but apparently, he wasn't fired! Come on man, even Heisenberg didn’t teach his students how to cook it up!
#3: Direct Racism
Here’s an obvious example that shows racism is far from being resolved. In a Baltimore college, a white teacher insulted a class that was mostly made up of African American students. One of the students totally got on her nerves and she completely lost her marbles, or at least all of her professionalism. She began calling the students uneducated idiots and told them they would end up shooting each other. The video was filmed by one of the students and shared on Facebook. A few days later, the teacher was fired. It’s pretty sad to see how people who are supposed to be role models to these young students behave in such hateful ways.
#2: Forcing a Child to Eat Crayons
An arts teacher was accused of forcing an autistic child to eat Silly Putty and crayons dipped in a spicy sauce. The worst part is that the school spent $56,000 in lawyer fees to ensure that the teacher continued to teach in the school, and the judge deemed her innocent of any wrongdoing! It’s now up to the school board to decide if this woman is fit to continue teaching or not. The parents however, are put pressure to ensure she didn’t go back. The teacher denies the accusations and says she specifically dipped the crayons in the sauce to make sure he wouldn’t eat them. Pretty unorthodox methods…
#1: A Teacher Kicks a Child
10 Child Stars Whose Parents Ruined Their Lives
This story happened in the city of Lu’an in a daycare in China. An educator was showing dance moves to 4 year old girls for the Christmas show. But this teacher didn’t like the fact that two of the girls couldn’t memorize the choreography. She therefore grabbed them by their ponytails and gave them several kicks and slaps. The worst part is that another educator was present and didn’t do anything about it. The parents sued the establishment and the educator was kicked out, with good reason!
