43 Times Teachers Watched Karma Catch Up With Their Worst Students

Not teacher but ill tell you a story anyway. There was this guy in middle school that would take poo and pee in the hallways really weird but he somehow thought it was funny so he kept doing it. Well I was locker buddies with this really early developed guy in middle school. He was like hagrid big to me back then. I noticed the weird kid standing next to my locker but standing in front of Hagrids locker. Im thinking oh no somethings about to go down so I waited.

Hagrid gets to his locker and this kid was still standing in front of his locker. Hagrid tells him to please move out of the way because he was blocking the way. Weird kid says no and starts chuckling. All im thinking is oh no oh no. Hagrid asks again and still the same response. This is when Hagrid kicks this jerk in the face. Like ive never seen anything like this before. This kid is standing straight up and he lifed his leg higher than I am in height and kicked a this kid in the face. Hagrid gets suspended and tells me if that kid ever bothers me to let him know so he can kick him in the face again.

Last year had a 7 year old in my class who was just a pain. He's the only child I've ever taught who I've actually disliked. He would throw things around the classroom, pinch other children, stab them with pencils, he was rude to everyone and would always blame it on someone else. Talking to his parents wouldn't help because they believed everything he said, even over adults who had actually witnessed him doing it. They would give excuses and say that other children were blaming him or that he was being picked on. There was nothing wrong with this child other than he had been brought up with no consequences in his life.

Anyway, one break time he was harassing another child and I guess they just had enough and this usually mild mannered child just punched him in the stomach causing the horrible child to wet himself.
When following the indecent up all of the other children who witnessed it (around 5 or 6) completely closed ranks and denied that it ever happened.
I can't usually condone when children hit back (it causes so many other problems) but you better believe all the adults that have had to deal with this child were rooting for the hitter.

Reminds me of a boy I dealt with when I was in second grade. he was a pain, totally bully, annoying, disobedient little brat. Always getting in trouble with the teacher for one reason or another. I was mild mannered and obedient. One day he is harassing me to no end in the line to go indoors after recess. So I say to him, "Kyle if you keep buggin me I am going to scratch your arm so bad it bleeds." He keeps bugging me and basically calling my bluff, so I do what I promised and scratch him down the forearm (not really bad, just enough to barely bring blood to the surface). SO then he goes whining to the teacher and she comes to me and says, "---, why did you scratch him?" I told her I'd warned him to stop bugging me or I'd do it.. and she says, "very well. Kyle - next time I suggest to listen to her warning". And that was it..

Mine just remained threats in 8th grade. Guy kept on bullying me throughout the semester in art class. Eventually I had had enough of it and in the middle of class screamed at him that if he didn't buzz off right there I would kick the sh*t out of him. Teacher sent him to the principle's office and just asked me to stand outside until I had cooled off and was ready to go back to class. No one made fun of me for it and the jerk played nice with me for my remaining time in middle school. (Still think yours was better though lol)

When she grew up and decided to become a teacher and had students who acted just like she did.

When I was younger the teacher got tired of the kid who kept disrupting the class and she gave extra homework to EVERYONE in the class EXCEPT the troublesome kid and made all the student write "Thanks for the extra homework, [name]". Somehow he stopped believing he was cool after that.

Lyndis-of-Pherae:
Good. I hated kids like him who ruin everything for everybody. Many times in high school, our teacher made us stay after the bell signalled that the school day was over because people won't shut up. Parents would be mad at me since I would be late picking up my younger siblings who are in elementary school.
Please shut up and let the teacher talk during the class. You'll have the time to talk when class is over.

I teach kindergarten, and I had a terrible, terrible child in my class last year. He liked to pull his desk away from the girl sitting across from him so her pencils and crayons would go falling on the floor. Finally, one day she got fed up and slammed her desk back into his. Unfortunately for him, his fingers happened to be there. I had to resist the urge to be like 'that's what you get!' but instead I just reminded him that that's why I said not to move his desk away from the rest of the table and sent him to the nurse.

A student would frequently verbally attacked me and I was really patient with him. He had some troubles with school in general, so I was just another cog. I still did my best to check in with him and help him out with homework. His parents weren't really responsive because he was a senior and could therefore make his own decisions.

One day he flipped out at me and walked out of the classroom. I sincerely had no idea what I did. He'd gone straight to the dean and told her that I gave him a look. The dean knows who I am and what I'm like and what I've done for this student so she (as she told me later) told him to cut the lies and be nice to me because I didn't deserve this. He admitted to her that he just wanted to pick a fight and he was impressed at how cool I kept myself when he started yelling "f you" at me in front of the class.

He was nice to me for the rest of the trimester and passed the class with a D+ after having failed it the year prior. I was happy to see him at graduation.

I guess my best "revenge" for this student was getting him to become a bit more grown up and civil. He deserved it.

Not a teacher but.. There was a kid that was always disrupting class, I will call him Steel. He was always throwing things: pencils, staplers, books, shoes, ect... Steel would go around and lift up girls skirts or try to fight everyone at recess.

Once Steel even stabbed a girl in the hand with a pencil and didn't even get in trouble. His mother worked at the school and they just brought her in to sit with him. Our teacher was really sweet and she always tried reasoning with him instead of sending him to the principals.

Well one day she was out and there was a substitute teacher filling in. Steel does the same stuff he did every day and the teacher was not having it. He (substitute) sent Steel to the back of the classroom so he couldn't bother anyone. Steel then decides to climb on the table in the back of the class and began jumping. The teacher was ignoring him and then we all hear a crash. Steel jumped too close to the edge of the table, knocked it over, and fell down on the edge. He hit his back so hard it fractured his vertebrae. The substitute called the ambulance and Steel and his mother were taken away. The regular teacher came back the next day and Steel was bedridden past the end of the school year. She was one of the best teachers I had and I am grateful she didn't have to deal with the ambulance that day or Steel for the rest of the school year. He came back the next year and was much more calm.

I'm always late to these karma train but it why not.

I've got hundred of these stories as I work in a school for residential treatment facility for kids who've been royally screwed up by their parents.

Anyways the story that comes to mind is this girl who routinely flipped her s**t starts doing her normal routine of screaming, threatening, and then throwing her desk about 3 feet toward whomever she's passed at, and then proceeds to the nearest bookshelf to begin clearing it off. So here she is throwing these books over her shoulder and then she grabs a dictionary. Dictionaries are special to her. Mind you this is a hardback thick dictionary, the kind that has every word ever imaginable in the smallest print that still manages to have the most complete definition of the word "the" that I've ever seen. Anyways, she grabs this and attempts to lob it over her head. The dictionary is hurled heavily but slips out over her head. It makes a high arc, she looks up at it only to see it coming down...right...into..her...stunned...face. The dictionary misses her eye by an inch and smacks her just to the left of her nose. Blood immediately coming out of her nose, tears follow, class laughing. I wanted to feel bad but she was the worst kind of a person. Constant bully, highly aggressive, attention seeking, and volatile. For the curious I believe she went on to a state hospital. Hope she's growing out of it, but I'll be darned if there isn't a new entry in that dictionary under "justice".

This douchey kid grabbed a girls purse and started rifling through it one day. then he started yelling that she had a knife in her bag, trying to get her in trouble. I believe the sub said something along the lines of "and thats why she has a knife" and gave the kid detention. after that he stayed away from the poor girl.

Freshmen english. busted a kid for plagiarism, he was furious and refused to drop the course, i gave him a second chance... and he continued to plagiarize. he was a slimy, smarmy kid who thought i was just a dumb, clueless TA, but joke's on him—he ended up failing the course THREE ways: plagiarizing, exceeding absences, and failing to turn in a complete final.

You can argue about one way to get an F. You can't argue about 3.

Platinumdogs:
So for one of my classes in my college, this student turned in an essay and the professor told us how he failed her on it for plagiarizing something but then she came back with "but my boyfriend wrote that essay for me, I had no idea he plagiarized in it" to which the professor responded well then you plagiarized your boyfriends work and the only way you'd have gotten out of this was to put the entire essay in quotation marks and then write 'my boyfriend'"

I used to get in trouble in my 3rd grade a lot because I would lose my pencil in class. My teacher, Ms. Hodges, must have thought I was a moron. One day, after yet another lost pencil, I glance over at little Miss Anita closing her pencil box, and glimpse my pencil in there. I screamed bloody hell at her until my teacher came over to yell at me for disrupting class. I accused Anita, who broke down crying and admitted it. Teacher took her out of class to deal with the situation.

As far as I can tell Anita was not punished, but she never stole any of my pencils again.

I, however, did not get an apology from either lady. I think Ms. Hodges was pissed that she had one less reason to hate me.

Looking back I think Anita was poor and therefore got a pass.

Volunteer Sunday school teacher here. I told the one really annoying class clown that one day he would need to listen up in class as it might do him some good. I told him that although it doesn't seem like it most of his teachers, in school and out, want him to succeed in life. Well he finally had a really good learning experience that due to his grades in school he was not allowed to participate in a class trip. That Sunday he told me that he was trying to do better because he didn't want to be left out again. So far, he is paying a whole lot more attention and actively participating.

Had a student who would routinely get his cell phone out and wouldn't put it away when asked. Often left the room during class.

Karmic justice: Failed the course.

I'm an elementary school teacher, so this doesn't seem quite as serious as the others. Here goes though!

There was a "problem child" in my class who thought it was cool to not listen to teacher advice, shug off reprimands, and make snarky comments. He was hard to manage, but by no means a bad kid.

We have a rule at our school that there's "no running on the deck" outside of our classroom. The official reason for this is "that it's dangerous", but the rule is often ignored when no teacher is looking.

One day the entire class and myself were standing out on the deck, lined up for lunch, when this particular student was coming back from getting something in the front building. He decided to blatantly ignore the "no running on the deck" rule that he had been reminded of probably a hundred times before, and he began to sprint towards the class.

Right as I yelled his name, he tripped and went FLYING. It was an epic wipeout that sent him sprawling across the deck, which the entire class saw. I checked if he was okay, and didn't say anything about it at the time, but I was able to remind him later that we do have rules for a reason.

I did feel rather like justice had been served in that once delicious moment, however.

Tl;dr
Snarky kid had epic wipeout because he ignored the rule. Justice.

Edit: To clarify, the deck is like an uncovered porch (made of wood with a barrier around the edge that leads to the front building in this case).

I didn't realize that people don't call them decks everywhere!

This one is more sad than satisfying and more directed at the parents than the student.

I'm an elementary special ed teacher at a school for children with emotional and/or behavioral disorders. EVERY kid is troublesome by nature. But this one student was truly insane. When we got him he was a very quiet and polite boy, and the IEP did not mention any kind of behavioral issues. We had no idea why he was being sent to us. Then slowly we started to see what it was. Every once in awhile he would just go crazy, laughing maniacally, cursing, insulting other students, getting out of his seat to dance or run out the room, slap his butt at the teacher, etc. Other times he would just start uncontrollably sobbing. THEN OTHER TIMES he would talk to someone named Daniel, despite there being no Daniel in the school. Daniel would make him say and do these things, this student told us. The student is only nine, and the things he was saying were things I didn't hear until high school. It was obvious someone was showing this stuff to this kid, and it was also obvious that a much more serious mental disorder was present. We CONSTANTLY talked to the parents about it, but they did nothing about it. We wanted the kid to get help, not punished.

After a year and a half of no progress, this past July comes around and summer program starts. The student doesn't show up and we have no idea why. Turns out the student did something so horrible that he was taken to some kind of mental hospital. We have no idea what, but all we know is he has been committed.

I hated having to work with this kid, but I really did feel bad for him. And on his good days he was really a sweet kid. We told the parents but nope couldn't be bothered.

Mine is a shorter one. There was a clique of the 'popular' kids who were often jerks and acted out because hey that's 'funny' in high school.

Our city had a living center for the mentally ill, that also had a public swimming pool, and when we got to the swim module in gym that was where we headed.

Well one day there's an extremely autistic 14 year old at the pool - like barely functioning. And chucklejerk decides that it'll be funny to sit there and growl at him aggressively (like a hostile dog), because why the hell not. Autistic kid loses his mind, he freaks right out. The kids 'handler' figures out what happens (because someone discreetly tells her when she's wondering why her ward is losing his mind) and goes and talks to the teacher about it.

"cool" guy, is banned from the center. He automatically fails the module, they choose to take it a step further however and decide that he instantly fails the gym course... losing the credits he needed to graduate. In addition to a lengthy suspension.

Our minister had a brat child. One day he kicked at the minister and the man grabbed the kicking foot and the kid fell on the other leg and broke it. When the minister told the congregation the story the whole church either laughed or clapped. He did start to parent better after that incident.

Senior year I had a math class that was held in a science lab (showers, eye wash station, etc.) It was a class that had kids from grades 10-12 in it. One of the seniors was a big dude on the football team who really enjoyed giving s**t to the smaller kids. He was the worst of what HS sports churn out.

Anyhow, he like to get this one skinny dude riled up every day by pretending to pull the emergency shower every time he walked by. Giggled like a smug doofus every time. One day I had enough and just went hey "Nelson" while he was under the shower...waited for him to look me in the eyes, and pulled it. "THIS is how it works!"

Boy was he pissed. Red faced and everything. Teacher came in and asked what happened. I said "Nelson" needed to clean up a little bit. Didn't get in any trouble, just had to go get a mop from the janitor and clean up the water. I still enjoy that moment when I think about it.

Sister told me this story.
Teacher kept a pack of Oreos behind the whiteboard and when he would walk out of the class, students would jump and and grab some and eat them before he came back. Teacher noticed so he put really hot sauce inside the Oreos and left on purpose, came back in and the kids who stole the cookies were left heavily breathing and sweating. They never stole cookies again.

I was a camp counselor, and there was this kid who was so annoying and always tried to borrow money from other campers and not give it back. Eventually, none of the campers wanted to play with him (including his only friend at camp). They came to me and I had to tell him why his friend didn't want to play with him anymore. I encouraged him to stop scheming. He didn't learn, but I think social exclusion is enough of a punishment for him.
