[quote]OVERLAND PARK, KS (KCTV) -
A senior prank has left about 100 students suspended by the Blue Valley School District.
The district said about 100 students were caught using the Blue Valley Northwest indoor pool Thursday. The senior class has altogether about 425 students.
Those students were suspended for the remainder of Thursday and will be suspended on Friday. A district spokeswoman said suspended students can return to class on Monday.
The suspended include underclassmen.

But that joy quickly changed. Suspended students missing tests and other assignments will get zeros, which could have big consequences.[/quote]

This is the kind of punishment I don't understand. What point are they trying to make? Not that I think they should've done the "prank". It just doesn't make sense to punish someone academically like that.
What a fucking lame prank
That many zeroes is going to put a pretty big strain on the school system in that area. Many of those students will have to stay an additional year which means they will have to expand a lot of the classes to be able to accommodate the increased number of students.
Lame prank, with my senior prank, we used my friends dumptruck, filled it with snow, and blocked the main entrance.
Thats what they deserve for such an awful prank.

so they're only going to miss a day and a half? doesn't seem that bad.

It isn't, except that they cannot make up the work they miss. That's the only problem with it.
The comments on that article are painful. Seems to be a couple of the students posting in there though.

We need pictures.
You guys watch the video? It's not like they're missing all of their exams. It's a pretty short suspension.

[B]PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOT A CRIME.[/B] Why is the school punishing this kid for something he didn't even directly take part in?
is that legal? and isn't the school going to get less $$$ for the average grade plummeting?
also I used to live near there, it's kind of a shitty place, surprised the prank wasn't destructive
I glued a dildo to a metal statue of my school's mascot (a horse)
Yes it was a dildo unicorn

There aren't even senior pranks at the school I attend, because of what the consequences would be.
Fucking over 100 people's educations and fucking up the school records just because they had a little fun

I used to live near there too. I would've gone there years back if I hadn't transferred schools.
And apparently they [I]did[/I] break a window.
On one hand, I can kind of understand the school's thinking: they broke property, and someone could've gotten hurt, say from broken glass or drowning.
On the other hand, punishing students who weren't involved is a dick move. They should really only punish the ones that broke the window. I mean, it's not like they actually [I]did[/I] hurt anyone.
Really what they should have done was made the students who broke in pay for the window.

I've only seen two here, my freshman & junior years
first was the classic 'dump hundreds of thousands of bouncy balls from the second floor,' they got in shitloads of trouble because everyone pegged one specific bitch of a teacher
second was a blow-up sex doll with the head principle's face hung in the rotunda at the center (and entrance) of the school, they weren't caught
I also remember a kid pooping on one of those huge multi-floor band director stands in the parking lot but I'm p sure that was totally unrelated
if anyone realizes these happened at their school and they go here too, hi

In the comments it was explained that they had only broken the lock on the window. Forgive if I misread, though.

Oh, well fuck that then. They shouldn't really be punished at all.
Also, I think I recognize that house they interviewed a kid at. Probably just a mix of my imagination and the houses all being made by the same people, though.
Are these senior pranks some sort of tradition in America?

In a way, I guess.
This sounds like a story on "High School Stories" on MTV that aired along time ago.
My school was even worse with senior pranks than that one.
One year was "we're going to bring water guns to school and shoot people in front of the cafeteria!" I think the worst they did was focus on girls with white shirts.
My grade's senior 'prank' was "We're going to decorate the commons area with our school colors, guys! Then we'll neatly take the decorations down halfway into the school day!" I shit you not.
I really hate the "no fun allowed" attitude in schools these days.
lol 0 tolerance is a crock of shit
What a boring prank.
At my old school the students in the year before us used weedkiller to burn dicks into the school field that can be seen on Google Maps. And you know how punished they were?
Zero punished
Bounce house in the rotunda at my school.
But they were pussies and asked for permission first. It's not a prank if you have to ask first.
The only thing my class did for a senior prank was someone rode down the hallway on a razor scooter and threw a bunch of dildoes at administrators.
The senior prank at my school 2 years ago was to go into the dean's office and turn EVERYTHING upside down, including his desk, the chairs, the table, the lamp, and his computer. Did not end well.
