In middle school, one of my teachers rolled in the TV/VCR cart, popped in a tape, and left the room. It was homemade porn. He was fired, then later arrested on charges of statutory rape of a student. On my first day at that school (the first day it was even open), a kid got stabbed and another went to the hospital for alcohol poisoning and drug overdose. Also, one of the nighttime janitors stole a bunch of computers (Apple II-e's and c's) to try to sell them and got arrested. Another kid with long hair got his hair caught in a drill press in shop class, and it was pretty gory. It was unofficially known as "the last Indian scalped in Arizona". That place was wild. It was shut down years ago due to lack of funding I think. It was on the rez, if that helps explain things.

In high school (not on the rez), we had standard stuff. At least one teacher that I know of was having sex with students, but I don't think she ever got busted. Had a riot over the Rodney King stuff. School shootings weren't in vogue yet, thankfully. We had one kid who all the teachers liked, straight A student, etc. He carjacked some lady at gunpoint one weekend, and the wheel came off while he was speeding away. The car flipped and he died. Oh, and my art teacher tried out for American Gladiators, but dislocated his shoulder during tryouts. Not really a scandal, but we all thought it was funny.
