what ASSHOLES.  Are people really this stupid?

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Staff members of an elementary school staged a
fictitious gun attack on students during a class trip, telling them
it was not a drill as the children cried and hid under tables.

The mock attack Thursday night was intended as a learning experience
and lasted five minutes during the weeklong trip to a state park,
said Scales Elementary School Assistant Principal Don Bartch, who led
the trip.

"We got together and discussed what we would have done in a real
situation," he said.

But parents of the sixth-grade students were outraged.

"The children were in that room in the dark, begging for their lives,
because they thought there was someone with a gun after them," said
Brandy Cole, whose son went on the trip.

Some parents said they were upset by the staff's poor judgment in
light of the April 16 shootings at Virginia Tech that left 33
students and professors dead, including the gunman.

During the last night of the trip, staff members convinced the 69
students that there was a gunman on the loose. They were told to lie
on the floor or hide underneath tables and stay quiet. A teacher,
disguised in a hooded sweat shirt, even pulled on locked door.

After the lights went out, about 20 kids started to cry, 11-year-old
Shay Naylor said.

"I was like, 'Oh My God,' " she said. "At first I thought I was going
to die. We flipped out."

Principal Catherine Stephens declined to say whether the staff
members involved would face disciplinary action, but said the
situation "involved poor judgment.

Someone should pull the same stunt in the teachers lounge and see how they like it.

There is a difference when this happens on a comedy show and when it happens in real life .

The whole thing is just plain wrong and those responsible need to be fired .

i hear you, i told my brother about it and he said "if that was my kid i'd be out raged, but since its not I laughed".  Funn you mention southpark, I could totally see this being a bit in it - the over protective parents scaring the shit out of the kids and then the kids get guns to protect themselves....  Matt and Trey are going to steal my idea now! hehe.

but seriously, i think you laughed out of relief that it wasn't a real attack....  and also at how f'ing stupid some of the teachers are in TN.

Yeah, this is among the dumber things done by any human being, lately.  How a group of college educated individuals can plan something like this without ONE of them saying, "Hey, this is a bad idea" is beyond me. 

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

what if one of the kid had a gun and flipped ..... that would have been funny !

That shit will build character in the kids! we cuddle kids too much these days. Make em walk to school barefoot in the snow like I had to do back when i was a youngster. Making them wash their clothes down by the river on rocks.

Teach em to stop being video game playing computer geeks.

If somebody pulled some shit like that with my kids I would have all their jobs.

Its a very confrontational method to identify students at risk.
