9th grade English teacherFollow
Yep, that's me. True story-- I teach 14/15 year old students English. Right now we are studying "Romeo and Juliet." At a mini-climatic moment today, a boy stuck a modified paper clip into an electric outlet. He burned three fingers. I asked why he did it and he said "it" was a boring day. This day we had the sword fight between Mercutio and Tybalt--not boring. My question, to start this thread, is what outradeous events occurred in your junior high classes when you were in school.
9th grade is junior high? Damn, that was High School in my day.
In one of the schools I attended, the students managed to drive 2 teachers nuts in one year. They both ended up in an asylum. One of them flipped out and looked the classroom, which was a trailer, (a new school was being built and there wasn't a lot of room) and started throwing supplies, books, and typewriters out the window. I can't recall what the other one did, but she basically snapped too.
That school was ruthless.

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

When I was in school, students took out there boredom and frustration simply fighting with each other. We didn't really do much as far as making teachers go insane and all...but there was always some BS stirring guys into fighting during Lunch Period or after school. Sometimes the fights even involved multiple people AND Teachers. I'll never forget when that ******* of a Spanish Teacher got sucker-punched by accident by a student in a fight. Knocked him right on his ***...rofl.

We...
Slept, drank, smoked, got into fights, drew, spake incorrectly, and other fun things bored teenages do. Ok we were pretty lame.
But my brother shorted out the entire school by sticking a pair of scissors into a plug socket, held by two wooden rulers, in the science lab. The teacher's comment was "well at least you used wood for protection from the shock."

Your 15 year old student stuck a paperclip into an electrical socket? Perhaps you should head on over to the biology teacher and see if he can test the water in your community for abnormal amounts of lead or mercury.

You'd think a chick that hot could find someone NOT 15 to bang her.

No I will not make out with you! You got Chlorophyll Man up there talking about God knows what and all she can talk about is making out with me. I'm here to learn, people, not to make out with you! Go on with the chlorophyll!
I remember 9th grade english - that was High School freshman year for us.
Our teacher was a hottie - she reminded me of this cute chick on my mom's soap opera - but she was pregnant and left after 2 months for most of the year. In that time we had a series of substitute teachers that never stayed for more than 2 days.
This class was horrible. It was the basic, or "idiot" class mostly comprised of upperclassmen. During that schoolyear there were several incidents.
One student, a very tough, very crazy thug, intimidated a teacher by ripping a 6-foot-long segment of window ledge off the wall and tossing it out the window. Another kid tied someone else's bookbag to a windowshade drawcord, hung it out the window (2nd floor) and managed to swing it into the nurse's office window below. Another kid ripped a fire alarm off the wall - the ones with the plastic guard over it, so no one could hit it "by accident". Those are trapped with an ink spray so it would be apparent if someone pulled the trigger. He got sprayed but the alarm never went off.... Then there were the two guys in the back of the room who would regularly roll blunts and cut up coke on their desks.
I spent most of that class hiding under my own desk, scared *********

yes I know I misspelled outrageous.
Ugh. 9th grade english I had a teacher who couldn't stop spitting each time she talked. Saliva would fly all over us students. It got so bad my class brought in umbrellas at the end of the school year and opened them up when she started talking.
this kid i had attended the same schools with for years, as well as being in the same gifted and talented class, killed his french teacher and her husband in their home my freshman year.

Trust me, if I'd known where it was, I would have done the same to my French teacher. Nasty anorexic little bit[b][/b]ch.

My high school was an incredibly competitive college prep school. It was run more like a university environment than anything else. I managed to go four years there interacting with as few individuals as possible. While I'm sure we had troublemakers, they were few and far between. For the most part we were too busy studying or doing something arty.
My 9th grade english teacher did tell me that I was reading the devil's work when I was perusing a copy of The Stand, by Stephen King. I haven't figured out yet if she was right.
I do remember that we read several of Shakespeare's works aloud. We were each assigned a part at the start of the reading, and we sort of acted it out with each other (in dialogue only, we never left our seats). I seem to recall that it was a lot of fun.

Oddly enough, my 10th grade English class was assigned to read Stephen King, which ultimately led me to my actions against the school and getting kicked out.
I read "The Shining" in the time it took most of the Neanderthals in my class to finish a page, then moved on to the first of many, many readings of "The Stand" (somewhere around 30 times). Oddly enough, I'd read Stephen King before this, unbeknownst to me, in the form of "The Running Man" by Richard Bachman.

That's all over the news here.
I would make a southern joke at my own expense, but Mary Kay isn't from the south, and she started this trend.

The school was F.D.R. (as in the President) located in his hometown, and this was....twelve years ago or so, since I'm now 27.

I've read many of his books over the years (although it's been a long time since I've picked any of them up), and thorougly enjoyed many of them. The Stand, It, and The Shining were some of my all-time favorites, I think.
My teacher was an older woman, and very religious, hence her comment, I'd imagine. Beyond that, she was an excellent teacher. She was the first one that was able to get me interested in poetry of the non-epic variety. I'd always thought it a bit silly, but she opened my eyes to a lot of works that I hadn't been exposed to before.
Still, I rarely talked to anyone in school that I wasn't required to. I was active, I participated in various activites and all, I just wasn't that "into" school.
edit> I'll be 27 in two days. Go me.

Stuff that happened at school during my day
-student flipped out and brought an air rifle to school shot a teacher, did it in front of the student body's weight lifter/body builder (he competed professionally) and the kid with the gun ended up in the hospital, the weightlifter ended up with perfect marks. The teacher was okay.
-kid got busted lifting ceiling tiles and watching girls urinate, he never got a date for the rest of his high school experience and had to be escorted from class to class.
-kid ratted out the pot heads in school and a bust went down, the rat lost most of his teeth the following week and was hospitalized, he didnt feel the urge to tell who assaulted him
-a person that might or might not be myself pulled a prank involving a urinal puck that has become urban legend in town
-i stopped a teacher from braining a grade 9 smart *** with a steel and plastic science stool
-the principal and administration staff tried to fail the entire senior year (my senior year) because we all skipped a religious retreat
-Mrs. Henry the grade 11 ancient civilizations teacher and renowned crazy teacher made the claim that all modern technology was reversed engineered from technology found at the lost city of atlantis, when I said the city had not been found she called me a ignorant loon, i then asked her why the city was still referred to as the "lost city" and asked her to provide evidence of its discovery. I was kicked out of class, after speaking with the principal i was allowed back in and the teacher was asked to apologize to me.
dunno there are a bunch more good ones but those are the most memorable that i care to relate or admit to.

You do know those are not edible right?
about 30 years ago my friend's dad stole a toilet out of the old middle school and got 3 friends with him to tote it up about 60 feet in the air and leave it on top of the school. Why? Nobody not even the drunk people involved know why.
