When Incompetence Gets Tenure: The Legend of “Kevin” in Special Ed
Imagine this: You desperately need special education teachers for your school’s autism program. The hiring pool is slim. So you take what you can get. Enter “Kevin” (real name Alex), whose tenure would become the stuff of workplace legend—for all the wrong reasons.
The story, as told by Reddit user u/CooperArt, is a wild ride through three years of jaw-dropping incompetence, organizational indifference, and the Kafkaesque reality of education bureaucracy. And, as the r/StoriesAboutKevin community makes clear, it’s both hilarious and horrifying that this could happen anywhere—let alone in a school.
