    One of the teachers hired two students to stage a home invasion on himself and his wife. They were going through a rough patch in their marriage and he thought being a hero and stopping the break-in would somehow save his marriage.

    The two students ended up breaking in and tying up his wife as requested, but he got a little too into character and ended up knocking out one of the students with a brick.

    Guy ended up going to prison for a while.

      Okay, students being stupid enough to agree to this makes sense bc they’re kids, but how did that teacher even come up with that idea, let alone actually do it?? That’s actual wife-hating behavior to think traumatizing her to “save her” is a good idea. Hopefully she finalized the divorce while he was in prison where he couldn’t hurt her

        The funny thing is that one of the reasons the teacher started to go off script was because the wife wasn’t being a compliant damsel in distress and ended up freeing herself and calling the cops.
