    Student brought Madonna’s Sex book to school. Made it on one of the evening tabloid shows. Tossed small rodents into the open windows of passing cars. Sodomized baseball players with broom handle. Checked girls underwear on the way into prom to make sure they weren’t wearing thongs. Blink 182

    Only two of those are on Wikipedia.

    Corruption pretty much. The director of the school would constantly pocket a lot of the public funds sent to school and then offload the cost of whatever that money was supposed to go to onto students.

    One of my favorite examples of this is this tradition where last year students before graduating are supposed to leave something to the school, and our class was asked to buy new tables, with other classes having to do something stupid like that as well.

    I still see the school in the news from time to time being involved in some new corruption scandal lol

    One of the older toilets used in a couple of the old school buildings (demolished for a newer one after I graduated) was permanently closed because it became so full of shit.

    It was a toilet on a separate building, that was used for a couple of old buildings (one from the 1930’s if the local oral history is to be believed), and another one from the 1970’s. The stench was so unberable that the classrooms near it were also abandoned.

    Oh, the school wasn’t infamous for that. I think, pushing shit aside, it’s so wonderfully mediocre that it didn’t really have anything it was famous or infamous for.

        I know right? Kids don’t need any reason to carve penises onto desks and tables and walls. They just do.

    Many of the classrooms were old Army barracks buildings. The people of the county were notoriously cheap and wouldn’t ever pay for a new school until it literally started dropping chunks of plaster and cement in the classrooms. Yet, the basketball court was one of the best around.
