Apple for the Teacher — True Crime
Apple for the Teacher

True crime stories in the school system – told by a teacher from Australia. For people looking for something different in the true crime genre, other than Ted Bundy or the Zodiac Killer. Diverse and lesser-known stories – an albino student murder in Africa, schoolgirl sexual slavery in Libya, a teacher beheaded in France, Polish teachers executed by the Nazis, just to name a few. School-based tragedies are also featured – a school bus stranded in a snowstorm, a school wiped out by a landslide, the drowning of students in a sinking ship. So join host Ana Thomas, as she presents the bad apples.

Show notes

Freddy was sent to live in a state run institution. Why?

Freddy was just a baby, when he was placed into a foster home and then spent the next few years of his young life moving from one foster family to another. He was then sent to a state run institution which housed so called mentally retarded or feebleminded children. But as Freddy got older he started to realise there was nothing wrong with him or many of his other friends.

EP 114 - Class Act Jul 17, 2021

Show notes

The teacher's career came crashing down. Why?

The school Principal worked at a number of prestigious private schools, in a career that spanned 25 years. He was well-respected and seen by many students as the best teacher they had ever had. So it came as a shock to everyone, when he was exposed as a fake and a fraud.
