“Last I saw, she was on some board of directors for a private school.”

Warning: This post discusses inappropriate relationships between teachers and students, and child sexual assault.

"She decided our mascot, a Scottish Highlander, was sending confusing sexual messages by wearing a dress (kilt), and changed our mascot to a Scottish Terrier. Then she herself dressed as the mascot at games in a retrofitted black hippo suit.

She made pep rallies mandatory, where she gave 30-minute speeches and forced a bunch of jaded teens to play children's games. She was known to cry during announcements that she herself made about random stuff that bothered her (like vandalism, gangs, drugs). 

My graduation lasted four hours during a cicada swarm in 90-degree heat. She gave speeches, hired guests to give more speeches, all while we were getting pelted by thumb-sized insects. We got our diplomas two hours into this debacle, which was a mistake because when we got them, we all started leaving. She got upset, yelling over the microphone that we still had two hours left, sit down, you can't leave, and someone unplugged the PA system. Even parents were sick of it after three hours. 

Years later, she tried to put on her own 'Lollapalooza' by hiring questionable bands and starring herself as the main star. She eventually got demoted to another school, where she was fired for trying to get more Asian people in the district to 'increase the school GPA,' and for saying that aloud. 

Last I saw, she was on some board of directors for a private school."

"We were banned from singing it, but they did a surprise rendition during our final leavers day ceremony, and even the teachers smiled."

"When we got back to school, we kind of forgot about it until one day, the French teacher came into the classroom acting all butthurt and saying things like, 'Well, I hope you're all happy now!' We didn't really know what was going on, but apparently one of the other girls told her mother, and she called the Archbishop, and I guess both teachers were fired because they did not come back the following year."
