What did the teacher in your high school get fired for?

Ugh, several of the teachers I had in high school were fired.

1. The PE teacher and football coach who traded grades for sexual favors from female students. I think the official number was 12 students aged 16–18.
2. The student teacher who had graduated from our school and was student teaching at it. Unfortunately for him, a couple of things happened. His younger brother(still a high school student) had a house party while their parents were out of town, he was held responsible for that. And a girl reported to the school about the party. Didn’t matter he wasn’t there(at the party), he was living in the house at the time, his fault.
3. The first year math teacher who could not teach. He had about 70 students for Course I algebra. Most were second time through students who failed the Regents the first time. 90+% of these students not only failed the second time through, they did WORSE. On average their Regents test scores dropped 15 points. So not only did he not teach them, he lowered their understanding.
4. The health class teacher. This was actually a bullshit firing. She got fired for daring to factually educate us about sex. From explaining STD/STIs and pregnancy/birth control myths, to discussing sexual orientations and the fact that transgender people exist, to explaining what sexual assault and rape were and how to report them properly, to having the free clinic give us a slide show of what STD/STI look like to explaining how to properly use condoms and birth control, she dared to give us factual information.
5. Not a teacher, but the school assistant principal was fired after my class graduated. Fired for being unable to keep my graduating class under control and out of the news. Because my class had protested the Gulf War, we had protested a few other things as well. There were also a few high profile fights on campus(blown out of proportion by the local news). He was replaced with an ex-prison warden.
