Just Out of College
I was a high school teacher when I was right out of college. I had an 18-year-old in my tenth grade English class, who had flunked multiple times, and was just nasty. When I talked, he muttered under his breath. He was fond of saying that he didn’t need to take orders from a girl.
He was a big guy and had a bad reputation in town and all the kids in the class were scared of him. I constantly wrote him up and called the vice-principal to class to pull him out. However, he hadn’t done anything to get him removed for longer than a class period.
The vice-principal told me that he would have to hurt something or someone in order to get taken out of my class for good. Therefore, one day, I basically instigated/irritated him into attacking me physically.
I called on him, knowing that he didn’t know the answer. When he swore under his breath, I wrote him up, quoting him exactly and in an exaggerated way. When he stood up, I wrote that he “behaved in a threatening way” and continued on until I finally told him to go to the office.
At that point, he walked behind the chair I was sitting in and shoved me into my desk. He got suspended for a week, during which time he and another kid went to a local ski area and pilfered skis. As a result, he left for juvie and I never saw him again. Story credit: Reddit / 88questioner
