It’s no surprise that gossip or stories of incidents that really happened travel very fast, especially in high school. If somebody saw some students making out, half of the school is going to know the next day, if somebody got in a fight or made a fool of themselves - the same situation.
However, there is nothing more interesting than seeing your teacher where they aren't supposed to be or, let’s say, spotting them on a date. Oof, those stories travel way faster than any dramas that students were involved in. But you know what’s even more interesting? Finding out that some teacher got fired and the reason that they got fired makes you even question if you are talking about the same person.
So speaking about that, one Reddit user created a thread asking folks online to share some stories about their teachers that led to them getting fired. Scroll through these incidents and upvote your favorite - just be ready because some of them are literally insane.

Middle school teacher brought in her personal camera so students could record video projects. I guess she had a bunch of tapes in a box somewhere and just grabbed a random one for us to record over. She should have checked the tape first.
When me and my friends did something dumb in front of the camera (can't remember what we did), we rewound the tape to record over that part. When we stopped the tape to see if we had gone far enough back, we realized we probably went too far.
When we pressed play, the video that started playing was [an adult movie]. We later found out it was our teacher's sister and new husband on their wedding night. Our teacher was transferred to a different school and we all had to have meetings with the school admin to talk about what we'd seen.

Had an art teacher who basically ignored the class and sat at her computer the whole class.
One day, a guy goes to the TV/VCR in the corner of a room and put on [an adult movie, you know the kind], muting the TV.
She didn’t notice. Word spread and she ended up fired.
Also, my a*****e of sophomore English teacher got fired for being “too friendly” with some female students.

She made students make a tag saying “ I am a useless boy “ and made them wear it for a whole day in the school, also made them walk around the football field for an 1hr in her session.
What wrong the students did??, well they were talking and playing odd or even in her session”.
