Those poor children scared to death. They probably won't be the same and it wasn't even real.

Nice effort, but the execution of it has earned that faculty the...

Stupid Meter!!!

What a bunch of crybabies.

Poor taste? Probably.

Scary? So what?

Joepole you are forever the "pot stirrer" aren't you? I know good and well if in a few years your beautiful little girl came home and told you of this horrendous event that caused her to cry and fear for her life....you would NOT sit around laughing it off! My husband would blow a gasket if that happened to one of his little or big girls and demand someone be held accountable! I would hope you would as well!

Once again, I have to agree with the majority and stand in awe at the sheer stupidity and waste of oxygen Joe has revealed himself to be.

While this IS just a simple prank, it not the type of prank that should be played on 12 year old children. You tell them that the boogieman lurks in the forest, or the hookman ghost story, not that they will be murdered if they come out from underneath the table.

I must agree here with the brain post. In this day and age gun jokes do not fly at all. If you want to joke with the kids then dress up like Slimy Jake I did this one with my kids when they were about 12 years old. I told them Slimy Jake lived in this cow pen over the levee. So I had a friend of mine that owned the land drive about 8 of the girls and his wife over to that spot where I was hiding with a green mask on and a old back coat He did not tell his wife or kids and it was at night. Well I freaked the kids out and his wife wet her pants I got calls from some of the parents about that one and one of my kids kind of got freaked out too. Had to tell this one is was to funny to pass up. I can say Slimy Jake to this day at my house and get all eyes looking at me with out a smile Heck I thought it was funny but my friends wife did not at all

Numbers mean nothing. I have to agree with Joe. Heck I can remember three or four times when I thought I was going to die as a child.

1) The first time I had the wind knocked out of me.
2) being at the bottom of a pile of 5 or 6 kids piling on top of each other.
3) I was looking at a snake once and a neighbor threw a stick at me and scared the heck out of me.
4) I fell into a pool before I could swim and it took 30 sec or so for an adult to save me.
5) Couple of bad minibike wipeouts.
6) My first real whippin'...

I'm probably forgetting a few. Life is pretty scary, at least for active boys...

Can I say that I am embarrassed to admit I am a teacher on so many occasions these days! What possible purpose could there have been in terrifying students? We teach for positive outcomes. What happened to All I Really Need to know I Learned in Kindergarten?

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life -learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch our for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.

(Robert Fulghum)

I know it's idealistic, but could they have planned a fieldtrip that included sticking together and being aware of wonder? I cringe at calling these "teachers" peers. Stupid is the only word that fits.

Here, here Sheba!!! I agree! It is a shame how those innocent little creatures don't get to be that for long. I think so many people including their parents are in a rush to make them grow up! We should all try to sit back and look through the eyes of the little ones...it's fascinating to say the least!

Amen Pokie and Sheba! Why do they have to grow up so fast and why are they being terrorized by teachers? As a child, my teachers were among the people I looked up to and trusted the most. These days you have to teach your child to be wary of a teacher. Oh oh oh, that's one of the reasons I homeschool!

Rhertz, I can't beleve you are even trying to defend Joe and his statements. There is nothing even remotely funny about what these teachers did and in now way can you justify it.

Spelled checked & improved. Thanks , mighty lion!!

Well that's half of it. I'm also choosing to disagree with Brainsmashr which is the other half. Now please stop making me show my hand all the time.
