fired

The internet is full of stories of people getting fired for all sorts of ridiculous and unfair reasons.

An AskReddit thread has got people sharing the reasons their teachers were fired, and the responses are so shockingly sad, it's a wonder how they even qualified to become teachers in the first place.

Here are their stories.
