Alternative School Horror Stories - Schools For Misbehaving Or Disabled Children And The Horrific Stories They Create

[DDBCAE CBAADCBE]

I'll start us off. I went to an alternative school for about five years. Basically it was a mix of gangsters, normal kids, deformed kids, and those with mental disabilities. Anyways, there was this one kid that couldn't feel any pain. Long story short he used to fling himself around the place all the time and slam into stuff because he was kinda retarded. One day he jumped out of the second story window and as you would expect he got pretty mangled. Shortly after that all the windows in the school were replaced with plexiglass.

Sounds like a standard inner city school tbh.

Where I'm from there are schools specifically designed to hold students that other schools can't. For instance those who have been especially violent. Though I've also seen people sent to them simply for selling weed and things like that. Basically it's a school for people who are deemed incapable of cooexisting 'appropriately' with 'normal' people. In these schools teachers are often encouraged to use violence against students, everything short of punching them.

The counselor at mine was a fucking pedo.

I was sent to a behavioral school after I got out of the hospital because I tried stabbing myself to death. I had way better grades in that school and I was the only one who did my homework. Nobody was mean to me either so that was good too. 10/10 would goto retard school again.

Juvie is way nicer than an Alternative School.

Growing up in rural VA, 'alternative ed' was where they sent all the country, re.tarded blacks and whites that couldn't exist with the rest of us without starting fights and throwing desks at teachers

Growing up in Canada it was roughly the same except replace blacks with natives.

I wanted to go to alternative school but I was too much of a pussy to cause the trouble required to get there. I heard from my friends that ended up there that they got to work on cars and do other things that sounded a hell of a lot more interesting than standard schoolwork.

@DDBCAE CBAADCBE how did you end up there?

It's a long story but I'll try to make it as short as I can.

So when I was in Middle School we had this big black gym teacher who liked to openly make fun of the kids that had to sit on the bleachers due to things like asthma. Anyways I wasn't one of those kids but I always had a very strong sense of justice. So on this particular day he said something about them that must have really set me off because I got black out mad and hit him in the spine with a folding chair. At least that's what I'm told happened. I don't really recall all the details. As far as I know he can't walk anymore though.

Because of that I got expelled and went to juvinile detention for a month after which time I ended up in an alternative school.

Damn, that's stone cold. I knocked a kid out with a chair in seventh grade but apparently that wasn't enough to get me more than a suspension. Maybe if I'd taken his out eye with the foot there would have been more trouble; as it was the foot hit his temple instead and out went the lights.

Sounds like you got pretty lucky there. I wish I could have gotten off on suspensions.

Does Montessori school count as alternative? I went to a Montessori middle school where we were attached to a larger k-6 school but we got locked in trailers for a few hours at a time. Kids drank pine-sol and we had like 3 gun threats. We used to break tables and chairs for fun. Good times.

That certainly sounds like an alternative school without the Solitary Confinement

I didn't personally attend, but our nearby alternative school was pretty well liked by the kids who went there. It only had a bad reputation among the people who didn't understand that it wasn't 80% crackheads. There were the "bad" kids, yeah, but a lot of kids who went there attended because of the different schedule. You got out way earlier than a traditional school so if you had to work or pick up younger siblings from school you could. It was a better alternative for kids with struggling families.

Sometime in my high school years they got a new principal, who announced that any kid who wanted to attend the alternative school was allowed to. A lot of kids at my HS considered going and a decent amount actually did. It was very straightforward no-frills, no-bullshit, education that a lot of kids prefered.

A few of my friends attended, one because she had such bad grades at our regular school. She's a nurse at the state hospital now so she must have got a good enough edjumucation. Another friend of mine was on the autism spectrum (like, Chris-Chan level) and she had to be placed there because other schools were too lazy to deal with her. She ended up in a class with a bunch of really scary mentally disturbed kids. So it wasn't all kids trying to escape the bullshit of mainstream education or kids from struggling families, there were plenty of weirdos.

I think the difference is mainly that alternative schools like that typically have lower standards. Some only require you fill out elementary school-level multiple choice worksheets to pass.

I went to onna deese schools. It was in a strip mall downtown. There was a pizza place on the right of the school, and a laundromat on the left. The school itself was made up of three storefronts, so to go to classes to would have to walk out the back into the alley, walk into another storefront, dodge the druggies, and walk through more "classrooms" (made up of chest high partitions).

I was at my most socially stunted point, but I was also going through my massive growth spurt. So among the violent gangbangers and other weird detritus, was this 160 pound 15 year old, me, who was at the time selectively mute. The entire thing was probably some scam. The principal taught me ju jitsu though, that was nice. My sister was entering her horder phase at the time, so she collected some of the needles she found in the parking lot. Probably still has them.
