I went to a hippy private school for a couple years at the end of elementary/ begining of middle school.
Had an acquaintance from the public schools who was trying it out to see if she wanted to join for the spring semester.
There was a pretty random activity going on that day (tldr is potluck style turkey stuffing had devolved into eating candy while ruining spaghetti squash)
So we’re filed into the room, and go grab a seat at the art room 4 tops. The teachers hand us each a squash, then a random bowl of candy. My friend is looking at me preplexed and asks what’s going on.
The teacher, now ready to go over the activity shushed her, and says “i dont know how they do it in the public schools, but here, we raise our hand when we want to talk.” And starts her explanation.
My friend, annoyed at the teachers snide remark, raises her hand in the air, and says, talking over the teacher, “if dont know who raised you ms M, but its rude to interrupt people! I was talking to my friend and you butted in… then turning to me, now, as I was saying, AxExRx, What the FUCK is going on here?”
No Quite what you meant, but for 5 years, we had a math teacher, Dr Mohamed Kahn. I never had him, but pretty much everyone said he was horrible. Rude, incredibly sexist, and often didnt know the precalc he was meant to be teaching.
Eventually, this came to a head, when he failed a girl on her test, she claimed her answers were right, and he said something along the lines of, what does it matter? If you want an A ill just give you a 100 for the year if you want- you’re a woman, so you’re just wasting time in school before you’re old enough to get married’
That was enough to get people talking, and provoke a response. Which came from one of the kids parents, a cop, doing an actual background check. It turned out there was a Dr Mohamed Kahn, with degrees is Mathematics and education from Oxford who graduated in 1983. But as you can imagine, he was not teaching at a public school in a small town in rhe US. With a few phone calls, the detective parent was able to reach him, at the school in GB he was teaching at. Turns out, the principals idea of a background check had been to call the numbers listed as references on his resume, and confirm with Oxford that they had infact graduated a Dr Mohamed kahn in 1983, and that was it.
We dont know what tipped him off, but the next Monday, he was paged to the office, and just took off. Over the next decade, there were reports of one of his students or a other running into him, and calling the police, usually spotting him working at some convenience store or another around the area, but they’ve never caught up to him.
