Teachers Dupe Students Then Film It and Show Peers

[Jacks]

Someone should call all these teachers in and tell them they are getting raises. Then bring them into a room with a ladder and have the kids laugh at them.

I find this story amusing.

I went to Disneyland when I was 11 and even then I felt a little bit too old. By 13 you should be obsessing about the hot girls in class, not Goofy and Mickey.

Maybe they were...At that age when is there a better time to try and get some action from some class hotties than on a class trip to Florida, not to mention all the skimpy bikini's on display compared anywhere in Canada.
Hell, I remember even being excited for our class trip to Edmonton for a a Legislature Building tour just on the off chance that I could sneak into a certain girl's hotel room for a hook up.

The California Adventure side in Disneyland is a little less of the fairy and pixie dust, and more on the rides FWIW from being there a decade ago.

And, I am not so sure kids are that different nowadays, but parents are.

A kid/teen being disappointed and a bit mad at the teacher that night coming home from school about a missed field trip, let alone Disneyland, and complaining about it for a couple days to their parents probably isn't that far off or unreasonable. However that then turns into "they were sobbing for two days" from the (one, two or three) melodramatic parents looking for their pound of flesh and those taking this story to the media.

Probably not the smartest way to teach the few kids that were snooping a lesson, but not quite like locking them in the class and taking away any human rights either.

Crying over not going to disneyland? What a bunch of babies.

I was more worried about the teacher in Jr High that was hauling me out of class and pinning me against the wall by my throat in Junior High threatening to murder me. I know CC on this board know the teacher I am talking about...lol. And I used to wind him up so he would do it more often. It looked so hilarious when his face was redder than a tomato, and that giant vein started pulsing in his temple. And when he finally got busted for this, they hauled my parents into the school, and blamed ME for pushing his buttons and making him mad, and I was the one that got suspended. It was hilarious.

Times are definitely different.

If times are different then they are definitely for the better based on that story.

I think that lying (calling this a joke is garbage) to kids about a trip to Florida for no reason is a pretty stupid thing to do and doesn't show "how soft" or "coddled" or whatever other BS line someones wants to use.

Being disappointed about not going on a trip to Florida seems like a very reasonable thing for anyone to do especially a 13/14 year old.
