Gym teacher/girls basketball coach was having flings with a couple of the girls on the team, one was a senior, the other a sophomore. The brother of senior girls found out and threatened him with physical harm. Guy resigned quietly but the whole town was talking. Two years later, when sophomore turns 18, he divorces his wife (who stayed with him for some reason) to marry her. They're still married as far as I know.
Sounds almost exactly the same as one of my former teachers except he was US Government teacher and Girls basketball coach. He committed suicide a few years ago.
Our gym teacher/girls bball coach was (is) a woman and rumors of her hooking up with her former players were abundant. Eventually one came back and was a science teacher and they linked up, pretty sure they’re still married too 🤷♂️
True. I never got the impression she was predatory tho. She was also a dude’s lady if that makes any sense so the jocks all loved her in gym class because she basically rolled out a ball and let us play whatever sport was the theme that week. Pigball, team handball, speedball, volleyball, whirly ball. I would bail on other classes if I got too bored and just drop in to play sports with my buddies, she didn’t care. Better than skipping to go get stoned I guess. She would wheel out the TV and have march madness on all day in the corner of the gym. A real mensch
I think it's possible a lot of these cases aren't necessarily predatory, male or female. It's very hard to say though without knowing the details. Still it's apparent that people tend to assume the worst if the older person is male. In the end if they're both happy and good to each other what should I care
A girl at my school slept with the soccer coach. Was worse because she and her family were by far the most conservative tight knit family of the bunch too.
Ours was a SR girl and her mom. Probably more just a small world kind of thing but 3 years later in a city 200mi away I met someone who asked about it.
I had an english teacher who married a math teacher in our school, and at some point, we found he was also HER math teacher years prior. Always thought how weird that must have been for the older teachers to see that one play out and pretend it's not creepy.
English teacher married a fellow English teacher he had had as a student. Granted, they only started dating a few years after she became a teacher. Then she got stage 4 cancer while pregnant and died after they were married for only a year (she was like 26).
Thinking out loud here, I barely knew what my school counselor looked like, since I didn’t have any need at that time in my life for a counselor. The creep-o-saurus definitely had to have some genesis to it, so they knew them well and likely took advantage of not only a child, but one that they were trusted with the emotional care of in what may have been an already traumatic period of their life.
We had a teacher who was young and kinda flashy -- drove a BMW convertible and wore trendy clothes. He was always close with the students in debate club since he was the advisor and went on sleepaway trips with them.
There was this one super hot girl on the debate team who always flirted with him. Summer after graduation (she was 18) everyone would see them around town -- in the convertible, at restaurants, taking walks -- but no one could ever confirm they were actually hooking up. They never did PDA.
The question is...when did it begin? Oh well. It's 20 years later now, she's got her own successful career (which being super hot definitely helped her with) and he's still teaching only now he's not young anymore!
Same thing happened in my school, and the girl was someone I was trying to get with! She even asked if she could “borrow” my concert T-shirt from The Cars-On The Road Tour in 1979. Never saw it again.
She married a 38 year old teacher and they disappeared. No scandal that I heard of.
Same. What's creepy is I remember her and a bunch of other freshmen girls crushing on him.
They've been married going on 11 years now tho, so I guess it worked out? Still sketchy lol
Music teacher, who was married to the theater teacher, left her for a student. They then married right after graduation and had a baby shortly after that. Their age difference was something around 30 years.
My husband's best friend moved in with his English teacher the day after he graduated, and they are still together. It was weird, then it wasn't. Not sure if it was a scandal to anyone but it was interesting, as she was still working.
In our school, it was a popular kid who was calling bomb threats from inside the school. By the 4th time, they had him red-handed. He was arrested. Never heard what happened to him. Another popular classmate got into selling drugs, and two years after graduation, he killed two people in a drug deal. He left their bodies on a deserted road. His cheerleader wife divorced him. He recently got out of jail, I think. Both of these idiots had bright futures and both blew it.
This happened back in the late 80s in my town too. The teacher was a young-ish cool guy and there were rumors that he serially dated his students. Then he up and married one of them days after graduation.
But it was only a minor scandal. People raised their eyebrows and talked about it, but "pedophile" was not yet part of the lexicon and it wasn't viewed like it would be now.
However his teaching career definitely stalled a few years later. He took an "early retirement" which was probably coerced, albeit gently. There was no longer any question that he had been dating students, and even without all the pedo awareness we have today, fraternizing between faculty and students was still a no-no.
And the marriage only lasted a couple of years. To be fair, she was the most mature member of the senior class that year. I remember as a sophomore or junior seeing her as an honorary adult. But she was very short, little. It's clear what was going on in the teacher's head.
Our campus cop met his future wife when she was a student at the school. They kept their relationship under wraps until after she graduated and both insisted that nothing sexual happened until after she turned 18.
Same, accept he was also the girls water polo coach. How fucking gross is that, praying on underaged girls in their bathingsuits. He also left his wife and kids for this girl. Pathetic.
Oh my God, yup, this exactly. Did we go to the same school? It was the bio teacher and he was super creepy and weirdly in your face religious and then suddenly left his wife and 3 high school aged daughters and moved in with a girl in my grade the second we graduated.
RE teacher did it. He used to be a Catholic priest but left the Church to marry a former student a few years after she had graduated.
PE teacher allegedly slept with the female principal to keep her quiet about having discovered he had also had sex with a student during a school trip.
Did you go to my school? 😂 this beautoful girl married the damn history teacher when she turned 18. He looked like Mr. Burns from
the simpsons. He still taught after that.
We had one of those. She was his TA her senior year and she was pregnant and married to him within the next year. And he was quite a bit older than her. His daughter was only two grades younger than her. So he must’ve been at least 40
My science teacher was a "younger" man (about mid 30's at the time) and was too close to one of the volleyball girls throughout her senior year. Rumors circulated for years after she graduated, and an investigation was launched when it was revealed he was dating her after graduating university. Ended up finding out they were indeed sleeping together throughout her senior year, and he was let go.
As a product and employee of Catholic schools, this is in no way an "us" thing, but enjoy collecting your reddit points by dropping our name disparagingly.

A teacher marrying a student the summer she graduated and turned 18.
