Teachers of Reddit, what's the wierdest rumour you've heard about a student,

There was this rumor that this senior girl in my high school was dating one of the science teachers,
She hung around his office and after class a lot, but it seemingly was nothing,
Just kids making up dumb shit for whatever reasons they do,
He was a beloved teacher, and she was pretty low key, but a cool girl none the less,
Figured some douche got a bad grade or had it out for the guy somehow, nothing ever came of it,

Curve ball, a few months after she graduated he divorced his wife, left his family, and went public on face-book that he was dating this 18 year old girl,
He was probably in his mid forties,
What the fuck,
Did NOT see that coming.

Edit: for everyone asking, this was in NY,
Lotta science teachers getting it from teens out there apparently,

Something similar happened at my school,
There was a rumor for years that the assistant football coach was dating a cheerleader,

They went public a year after she graduated in 2008,
Now a days hes still employed by the school (rumor has it there wasn't enough evidence that they were together while she was a student to go after him) and they're married with three kids,
I see them around town occasionally when I visit my parents, its weird,

Heard a rumor kids were doing coke in the bathroom,
I worked at an inner city school and coke really wasn’t a big problem- pot was their choice,
I walked out of my class during planning period to find a girl walking out of the bathroom with white powder on her nose,
I asked her about it and she responded with “its powdered donuts, Mrs. K,
I swear, I’m pregnant and it’s all I want to eat,
But everyone thinks I’m doing coke,
She then pulled out two empty bags of powdered donuts,
We got her connected to some pregnancy help,

I had a student that was rumored to have eaten a piece of shit,
He was out of school for about a week or two around the time this rumor was spreading,
When he came back to school he was charging kids a buck per view from the camcorder he had in his locker,
Sadly, this rumor was true,
Amazingly, his girlfriend didn't dump him,
i guess shit was hers,

This one kid who liked to remove all of his clothing, suspend his legs above his head using his belt and pleasure himself in the bathroom,
Except not a rumor, because I walked in on him doing it,
It was then I realized they weren't paying me enough to deal with crap like that,
The stories I have,

Former band director here,

We had a color guard girl who COULD, NOT, catch any time she tossed her flag,
The kids made up a rumor that she had a glass eye and that was why she couldn’t catch anything,

Two years later, the girl was about to graduate and came into our office to talk to the staff,
She had never told a soul, but her left eye had been glass for years,
She lost it in a car accident before moving into our district,
You couldn’t tell by just looking at her,

Turns out, the made-up rumor was 100% spot-on,

Apparently a sixth grader cried his eyes out during health class because learning about the skeletal system freaked him out, Health teacher started talking about ribs and he started panicking, saying he was too uncomfortable to handle any more of the lesson,

There was a brother and sister who were rumored to have been forced into sexual acts by their parents,

Girlfriend's friends were like that,
Dad abused em, either raped them himselves or forced them to have sex while he watched,
Brother and sister, said they were younger at the time,
He'd rape both of em almost everyday,
Ended up going to jail for it, heard he's getting released soon,
The daughter still loves him and thinks he can change, son wants absolutely nothing to do with him,

that's horrifying,

Two students (fraternal twins) arrive at the school age 15,
One looked older than the other, but that happens,
Then the rumour comes out that they are not twins, but sisters,
I tell the Behaviour Support workers, who look into it: turns out, one of the sisters is 22 years old,
Parents lied about her age to get her into the school and therefore stay in the country,
Whoops,

Back in October, me and a similar-looking teacher kept getting mixed up by our kids (7th grade),
We started a rumor by giving little hints that we were half-brothers,
Nothing super obvious, but just enough to get them thinking,

We’ve been pouring it on a lot more recently though,
Hopefully we can get a photo with our (my) dad over spring break right before,
April Fools Day,
that is genius,

Okay A girl who lied on social media about having an affair with a teacher, she recanted later when it was revealed he was gay,
First she claimed to have been hacked,
Then she said it never happened to her but to another girl she was protecting,
Full police investigation later and she admitted to doing it because she felt she needed support from her peers,

One student was rumored to be a Satanist witch who was scared to God’s holy light, since she wore modest clothing and used an umbrella in full sun,
She had vitiligo and was undergoing a steroid therapy that made her extremely sensitively sun light,

Colleague married a “much younger woman” who was rumored to be his student,
She was neither, the woman they saw him with was his daughter,

A girl, K, made a rumor up that one of the English teachers, Mr. Y, was having sex with his students in his classroom because K didn’t like his wife, Mrs. Y, who was also a teacher at the same school,
I guess Mrs. Y had failed her or something and she wanted to cause marriage problems for them,

Anyways, it was actually true,
He was having sex with female students in his classroom,
He had a couch in his class for “reading purposes,
Nah, it was for fucking underage girls,
Which should have been obvious, but a lot of English teachers had little reading areas in their classrooms so idk,
I think the wife got custody of their two children and he fled the state,

A few years back there was a rumor that a teenager who'd been murdered was killed by one of my students for not switching shifts with him at work,

More teacher-adjacent than a teacher, but there was a rumor that this one extremely strange young lady was the product of incest and that her mom(/aunt) would only let her drink pineapple juice,
I think the reality was far more banal - she definitely had some kind of issues, but it was probably your garden variety developmental delay or something like that,
Poor girl,
She was nice, in her way,

Student's dad was a dentist,
Stole his dad's sedatives and sold them or something,

Can't verify the truth of it, but that student isn't at the school anymore, so that would explain why,

My mom's a teacher and I went to high school where she taught,
She had a student who I was also friends with,
I ended up hanging out with him again after a few years and after some drinks he told me he was in a couple pornos right after he graduated,
My mom couldn't mcfucking believe it when I told her because he was, and still is, a really polite, quirky, socially awkward kid,
He refuses to tell me his porn name tho, which I'm bummed about,
I'm pretty sure he fucks like a stallion,

A new transfer student enlisted the help of all of his existing friends in the school to spread the rumor that his REAL name was "Mbaku" and he was born in "Wakanda Africa" to all the teachers,
while speaking in a really shoddy Nigerian accent (we're in the American Northeast,
I was hired halfway through the year and by then it was just assumed that it was true and no one had corrected it,
He was brought up in a teacher's meeting and I was just like "Wait.... Mbaku....From... from the fictional continent of Wakanda,
And no one says anything,
Dead room,
I press on, "... Black Panther, The Movie? Guys,
And suddenly the Social Studies teacher stands up and slams his fist on the table, point at the Vice Principal, and just yells, I GODDAMN TOLD YOU,

Good times, good times,

A student had an eye patch and was rumoured to be a pirate, thing is, the kid had a peg leg too, a literal peg leg, he embraced the rumour and signed everything with,

I once successfully started the rumor that one of my students was born with a tail, just because he said I couldn't do it,
You seem like one of those really chill teachers that everybody likes,
Unless you're the kid born with a tail,
That kid challenged OP to start the rumor tho,

I taught English at an all girls Catholic School in Central America,
I was told by another teacher that one of the seniors was working nights at a strip club-and that the nuns that ran the school knew about it but did nothing because she was supporting two younger siblings,

Not a teacher, but there was a rumor where a female 6th grader in our school was actually a male,
I was curious about it too, but one day she had to move and said out loud, “Just so you know, Im not a male,
and left,
edit: guys stop fighting,

I am a teacher and actually know that one of my students was dating another student from a nearby school who was a one-legged drug dealer,
I know a man with one leg that deals drugs,
What does his other leg do,

I’m not a teacher, this was about a fellow student,
The rumor was that he peed through his eyes,
(This was in primary school,
pee i stored in the eyeballs,

Not a teacher but students at my high school started rumours that i was having intense exhaust pipe sex with Lightning McQueen, the whole school bought into it and at award ceremonies they'd all yell KACHOW when I walked on stage,
i feel bad for you-but that is actually hilarious,
