re: HS seniors switch schools as prank; admins throw butt hurt hissy fit with punishments

quote:

We stacked tires all the way up the flag pole out front. They had to cut them off one by one ??

Or maybe lift them up and take them off in the reverse procedure of how y’all put them over the pile?

We picked up a teacher’s VW Thing and placed it snugly longitudinally between two mature trees.

Thought we were brilliant.

Once it was discovered, the lumber yard down the street sent their fork lift and resolved the situation with quickness.

The punishment is quite appropriate here. Educators and administrators cannot be held accountable due to their students behavior. Therefore any time a student acts up they must be punished severely so as to set an example for others. The educators and admin cannot be punished for the actions of the students. Educators are not responsible for how their students learn or behave. Educators are there to distribute the material. Whether or not the students learn it is inconsequential to teacher evaluations. This is why educators are so important, especially those with higher education degrees and masters degrees. Without them who would distribute the knowledge? It doesn’t matter how they do it or what happens afterwards. Teaching is one of the hardest jobs in this country. This is why doing away with grades is a great thing many states are implementing. If we get rid of all the metrics by which to judge teachers we would all realize how great all teachers are.

This should have more upvotes than it does

students said their phones were taken up, their cars were towed, they were punished with at least three days of suspension and they were banned from opposite school premises for up to a year, according to social media posts. They also said that participating students at Jemison High were kicked off sports teams, had scholarships taken away and couldn’t attend prom.

Talk about an overreaction, my lord

Oh, so you’re applying an opinion placed on a different story with a completely different fact pattern.

You opinion on "policy is policy" isn't universal?

Would that not then imply that you must agree with the policy in place for the 4 year old?

Social media posts are always truthful, right?

But the students managed to spend nearly half the day at opposite schools without anyone noticing.

This..is just hard to believe.

My wife and every teacher I know would recognize a room full of strangers immediately.

How the f does a teacher not notice half the class is completely different.

Maybe it was only like 10 students total who did it and we are all assuming it was the entire senior class.

The organization it took by those who came up with this prank to actually make it happen is to be commended.

As others have said, the schools and the school system were exposed and embarrassed. That it took 2-3 hours for teachers to realize that their students weren't there and that the students who were there weren't even from that respective school is ridiculous and shows obvious security issues. Now the schools want to enforce extreme punishments on the students. Give them detention or whatever, but don't deprive them of sports and scholarships.

The article said it was a small number.

Yup. That’s what it looks like. But you should still know the kids in your class by now. When we get a new student, we get an email alert, a system alert, and the student comes in with a schedule that we have to check.
