During a school trip teachers decide to conduct a drill that backfires horribly. According to the school, this was simply a "prank" to be used as a tool for learning. The memo issued by the school down play their responsibility for such a thoughtless act on children and blame parents and media for making a bigger deal out of this that what it merits. But I can't help but think what would their opinion be if a student conducted a similar prank in the school? Or posted a threatening prank on the web? I recall things like this happening and those students were prosecuted.
So, what did the kids learn anyway? Will this be on a test next week?

um, stupid grown-up(?) tricks.
makes a good case for homeschooling.
i would have a hard time not pulling my kid from under the authority of such idiots. or to be kinder and gentler, do they have a school for teachers with special-needs? we have a new class ready to enroll, apparently.
gasp,
major eye rolling,
sigh.
And to think, that these "adults" are supposedly educated in understanding the minds of these little people. That is the part that has always bothered me about public schools..they always made me feel like they knew better than me. Hmmmmm
