Principal - slamming a kid into the locker suspected of bullying another student.
Teacher 1 - bringing a gun to school
Teacher 2 - not being fingerprinted (In fact, teachers who are hired agree to be fingerprinted)
Assistant Principal - Asking another teacher out on a date (boss asking coworker)
Teacher 3 - a teacher off her meds...nuff said

This show is HORRIBLE. It makes me laugh how inaccurate it is.

Not in a ridiculously understaffed school like the one portrayed in this show. You're also forgetting this show took place 12 years before your post and before the "everybody is special and gets a trophy" generation.
Never mind the fact that the teacher's union would block most of those firings besides maybe the gun issue.

Assistant Principal - Asking another teacher out on a date (boss asking coworker)

Why would he get fired for that? Most establishments do frown upon that but they don't fire people for it. If a relationship sparked up they might say the teacher might need to be transferred to a different school or something but they wouldn't fire him/them.
