"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.
Answer:
Isn't there a "Zero Tolerance" policy at many schools these days? If so, there are a bunch of teacher that ought to be fired.
This is the REAL reason why teachers don't want students to be armed--because when they pull this kind of sh!t, they don't want to get shot by someone who can rightly claim self defense.
I would hope so.
I remember the "duck and cover" drills in school because of earthquakes, but this was ridiculous.
No, it's not a crime to scare children. Distasteful, but not criminal. Remember when they used to tell you that hiding under the tiny little desk would save you from an atomic weapon?
I'm aware of the definition of assault. The teachers didn't do it. They frightened the children with an outside threat, but never directly threatened to cause harm. By your interpretation, the entire Republican Party should be run in for Assault for scaring us with threats of outside terrorism.
The little baskets need a short sharp shock
to keep em in line now and again,as do some of their parents!
I am a student at ITT-Tech going to school for Criminal Justice. I asked my instructor your question. He heard about your case. He knows that the principal did not know about the staging, so the teachers should probably be fired, but he's not sure wether or not any legal action SHOULD be taken, because with everything thats happening in todays society, its probably not a bad idea to educate children what should be done if the situation were to occur. But it shouldnt occur in 3rd grade. Jr/Sr High material.
I hope the teachers get more than discipline action done. They should all be fired. And the parents of those kids sue the school, and members responsible!
