36 Times School Gossip Turned Out To Be Straight Facts Exposed Out In The Open

I was an outcast at my high school, and was shunned by the majority of the school. Because of this, my circle of friends included the outcasts from my school, and the outcasts from several other schools in my city. Myself and my friend Sarah from my school were good friends with a very gay guy from another school named Rafael. We were also friends with this very punk girl from the same school as Rafael named Stephanie. Stephanie was really hot, and always dressed in a very outwardly sexual way...fishnets, schoolgirl uniform, thigh high boots, etc... The "jocks" at out school thought we...Sarah and I...were freaks, and shunned us, until they saw us hanging out with Stephanie. Then every one of them wanted to have her phone number, and we were popular. Stephanie made the rounds of pretty much the entire football and baseball teams at my high school, and was known as a head queen. Everyone wanted to go on a date with her, and most did.

Stephanie and Rafael are the same person.

That there is an underground bunker from the cold war era below the school. Not only is it there but it turns out you can access it from the PE changing room through a secret trapdoor.

EDIT: It's in Kraków, Poland; because so many of you were curious. And it looks like there's actually lots of schools that have one!

EDIT 2: Also, it is confirmed to be a bunker but it was built before the school existed and was most likely emptied by previous owners of the building.

That the choir director was fooling around with a female student. When she turned 18 they got married. Bonus - it was strongly assumed he was gay due to his impressive level of fabulous.

My 6th grade math teacher was super creepy. He would assign seats “randomly” but always placed the girls in the front of the classroom. Did the whole lingering stare thing, and was always trying to get people to “hang out” with him during lunch. I never did, but he was married and has a baby so no one really suspected him of anything other than being creepy.

Fast forward about seven years. The teacher ended up being a s*x offender. He had an ongoing relationship with a girl that began when she was 13. Based on what I could see from the various news articles, she was either in my year or the year before me. The police came to arrest him in the middle of his class, cuffed him in front of his students, and then had him walk throughout campus in cuffs to get to their car. I don’t feel bad for him at all, but I can’t imagine how his wife and son must feel.

Edit: for everyone asking, this was in the Bay Area, California.

We had a Spanish teacher who would keep giving random financial/business advice during classes. One day he tabbed over to his stock trading homepage and accidentally revealed that he was a millionaire.

Rumors about his past started circulating. Around graduation some students found old newspaper articles confirming that he *was* a former m**h-dealer who had spent time in jail.

Was a seriously cool guy, actually.

That an 11 year old on my bus was pregnant. She was, and kept the baby. She had three more by age 18.

My brother always used to joke about the 7th/8th grade science teacher, "don't ever be alone with him he likes little boys", it was actually a well known joke around school. Fast forward 15 years later and guess who got arrested for liking litttle boys? (The teacher, not my brother, he died before the guy got popped so he never even got his "told you so" in).

I went to high school with a couple that got married at 16. She came to school pregnant. Rumor was her husband's father got her pregnant. Seemed laughably unbelievable. Turned out to be 100% true. We lived in a nice suburb. This was unlike anything my school had seen.

That my skinny little Spanish teacher was a regularly battered husband. Poor guy.

The art teacher was sleeping with both the history teacher and RE teacher. She was married to the chemistry teacher who she’d previously had an affair with while married to the woodwork teacher. I believe she married the RE teacher sometime after I left school.

Edit: a few people have asked what RE is. Religious Education which state schools in the UK used to have to teach. Taught by an atheist which was refreshing.

"Dr" Palermo the band teacher never received his doctorate in music like he claimed. It was weird, he use to force all his students to address him as "Dr" but when he came back from his leave of absence we all called him by "Mr" like nothing happened.

So this turned out to be true, but not about the people the rumor started with. We had a band teacher everyone loved, he ended up getting a divorce and during the custody battle his wife said he had been in a relationship with a student. Teacher gets sent on leave and ultimately black listed in our district, but he got custody of the kids seeing as there was no real proof he was ever sexing a student.

So they bring in his replacement, and less than a year later he's busted for sleeping with the 16 year old drum major. They took pictures in bed together that started to spread around and dudes still in jail. A lot of us that were bitter about the blacklisted teacher found this to be the ultimate karma for the administration.

That my high school English teacher & tennis coach was inviting young boys over to help with 'yard work' but was actually hosting forced circle jerks and molesting them. He invited me once, I declined.
His name was Skip Reville.

Edit: He also was sexually abusing boys at summer camps.

Athletics coordinator was fudging documents on kids’ addresses so they would be able to go to our school instead of others in the district. We won like five state championships that year.

The teacher that got 4 girls pregnant. I guess I can't be sure how many he actually did get pregnant, but after I left he was found out when a girl actually had his baby and he was fired and named in a Royal Commission (it wasn't as much of a crime back in the 90s).

The rumor was that a boys gym teacher and a senior girl in my class were "involved". They got married when we graduated. He was at least 10 years older than she was.

That some girl that was in my class got into a fight and stabbed another girl with a fork. I didn't believe it, but then I saw the video of the event. And the girl who got stabbed posted pictures of her fork wounds.

The teacher that was horrible to all her students didn't come in for months. Was an alcholic who had a heartattack at the top of a set of stairs, fell and broke both her legs.

To be honest 15 year old me didn't know how to react one way or the other.

Someone had brought a gun and got busted in the bathroom before he could start shooting. They kept it hush but someone found out. It got passed around as a rumor for a few months before it got confirmed by video.

Two sports teachers were having an affair with each other, even though one of their spouses was also a sports teacher in the same school using the same dinky office.
Rumor was confirmed when the two dudes had a fist fight in the basket ball court.
