What was the craziest rumour at your school ?

Ours was that the maths teacher left because he was Mr January in a porn mag, nicknamed 'Billy big balls'. Everyone knew of someone who knew someone who'd seen it.

What nonsense went round your school ?

English teacher at secondary school/GCSE and A-Level classes: he was said to have affairs with female students right, left and center.

My sister had him as a teacher and later he taught my year group for A-levels, not me though. He actually had 3 seperate girls at the same time warming his bed, it only came out when they discoved that he was cheating on each of them.

Different country and we are talking of the early Nineties. Teachers in my country are civil servants and very difficult to sack. As the girls were all above the age of consent and not direct pupils he got away with it from a persecution point of view but was transferred to a boys only school in a city around 100 miles away.

A PE teacher was shagging a girl in S4. Turned out to be true. He left his wife for her.

Music teacher had affairs with 6th form girls who all had a very similar look.

Found out it was true, and was the reason for him being sacked from his previous high-brow private teaching position.

A girl used a test tube as a dildo and it smashed inside her and she had to go A&E and have it surgically removed 🤢

That a kid bunked off school to go to the London Transport Museum (?) and left his bag somewhere causing the whole place to be shut down in case it was a bomb.

That our history teacher (40s) had a relationship with a girl in year 11.

They got married a year after she left school and are still together.

That was a rumour at our school as well 😂

It was a flute rather than a test tube at our school

That a girl in our class had a baby and kept it in a shoe box under her bed so her mum wouldnt know she had it. I haven't thought about that until this very day and as an adult I really hope it wasn't true. At the time I assumed it was a live baby (we were only about 14) but now I'm wondering if she had a miscarriage. It was most likely just a vile rumour someone made up and spread around.

TickingAlongNicely · 01/01/2025 19:54

Two kids made a home made bomb and left it in a phone box and blew it up

Or

The dead body left on bits on the school field by the postman

There were some basis to both stories, but not to rhe extent of the rumour mill!! (Think it was something like setting g fire to the post box, and a body was discovered just outside the school grounds)

PollyOrange · 01/01/2025 19:54

That the PE tracker for the boys made them strip naked if they forgot kit and run around the hall

Simonjt · 01/01/2025 19:55

A teacher was pregnant with a students baby, and yes, she was!

At my school it was a rumour like that about the rather prestigious girls school in town. (I was at the secondary modern). The rumour continued that local shops weren’t allowed to sell the girls cucumbers, carrots or bananas.

Meltedwelly · 01/01/2025 19:56

Chemistry teacher shagging the 6th form girls. Think it was true.

BashfulClam · 01/01/2025 19:57

That our American science teacher was a millionaire as he invented the ventolin inhaler and just taught for the love of it 😂….not true!

WindsChange · 01/01/2025 19:57

That the IT teacher was an ‘adult baby’ in his spare time. Turned out to be true and all over a documentary a couple of years after we left Hmm.

Not a rumour, but one of those silly theories went round my primary school that if you shouted "Bloody Mary" into a wardrobe three times, her ghost would appear and scratch you. I 100% believed it. 😂

PowerhouseOfTheCell · 01/01/2025 19:57

Girl used a rolling pin as a dildo in food tech and still used it to role out pastry Grin

A rumour went round that some kid had caught HIV by sitting on a contaminated needle which had been deliberately placed on a cinema seat, so for a while my friends and I were all very careful at checking our chairs when going to the cinema!

sandrapinchedmysandwich · 01/01/2025 19:58

That a girl put a mars bar inside her at a party

That another girl fucked a toilet brush

The 90's were wonderful in some ways and utterly misogynistic in other ways. There were no similar rumours about the boys 🙄

TuesdayNameChangeArama · 01/01/2025 19:58

My maths teacher was sacked in my GCSE year for getting together with one of his students (year 12) who had been in his form since year 8.

They got married.

I don't think they are married any more.

CamelsForChristmas · 01/01/2025 19:58

yeah at my school it was always about the Year 10 teacher grooming and having sex with Year 10 girls.

It was true as well.

More recently at my DCs school it was about the year 11 form teacher grooming and having sex with year 11 girls. That was true as well.

At my school (late 80s) the teacher was not sacked, just moved on (to a girls school no less). At my Dcs school the teacher was sacked and is going through the legal process now.

I think 'bloody Mary' lived in every primary school toilets, she was definitely in ours too

Ha ours was if you said it 3 times while looking in the mirror she'd appear behind you!

PowerhouseOfTheCell · 01/01/2025 19:59

To be fair I have actually met someone who stuck a lava lamp up her fanny! So sometimes the rumours ARE true
