School pretends to shoot science teacher in front of students, aged 10-13. Parents: WTF? - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;20993621]Also, I'm sorry for getting rude, but who knows if this could work, probably not, but its never happened before.[/QUOTE] looks like he's surrenduring

[QUOTE=Carnotite;20993637]I don't think that's entirely true. It varies with location. If you have an inner city school equipped with metal detectors because they have a history of violence there, the odds are different than in some rural-ass school a mile past nowhere that hasn't even seen a fist fight in ten years.[/QUOTE] Well still, even if the school has metal detectors, the odds are still higher than any lower grade (like middle school and elem school especially, and possibly even college) school.

These kids are major pussies

[editline]10:02AM[/editline] Stop talking, no one is listening [editline]10:03AM[/editline] sorry[/QUOTE] Fair point. I read your post saying the chances of some kid having a gun were "rather high" and missed the edit. [QUOTE=Funcoot;20993049]A science lesson is a horrible excuse. I actually think this could be a REAL drill, but not for elementary school kids or middle school kids. With high schools being the way they are today, shootings are real events that occur, and people should know what to do in cases such as this one.[/QUOTE] Every school I've ever attended, any drill that wasn't a fire drill was pretty much lock the door, shut the curtains, and hide in a corner. Sort of a, "Shut up and hope they pick the other kids first," kind of deal. Be interesting to see how people would react to the sound of gunshots from on the campus, things would probably change pretty quickly. At the same time though, there's really no good way to go about getting that kind of data.

[QUOTE=The_Fly56556;20992939]That's super badass, kids need to grow some balls.[/QUOTE] Hell yeah, those 12 year olds are pussies, they shoulda killed the guy with the gun!

[QUOTE=Goose;20993815]Hell yeah, those 12 year olds are pussies, they shoulda killed the guy with the gun![/QUOTE] okay enough you guys are obviously idiots

[QUOTE=texanderson;20993814]wha wha WHAAA?[/QUOTE] He's too hardcore and hardened by his terribly harsh life to be able to understand why seeing a favored teacher being killed is traumatizing. [editline]10:12AM[/editline] [QUOTE=texanderson;20993863]okay enough you guys are obviously idiots[/QUOTE] that guy was joking

oh okay

joking isn't trolling

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;20993903]joking isn't trolling[/QUOTE] well i didnt laugh

Well that doesn't make it less of a joke

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;20994381]Well that doesn't make it less of a joke[/QUOTE] no one else is laughing

Any hopes of the school getting good ratings were really [i]shot dead[/i].

I laughed.

[QUOTE=Mingebox;20994720]Yeah, now they'll be a lot more composed when somebody shoots them in the back of the head.[/QUOTE] yeah

That wasn't a very good idea, now was it?

Fucking retards! What where they thinking!?

I remember when our head teacher pretended to give everyone in the class a detention to show some drama skills in our drama lesson, but how the fuck is this science!

[QUOTE=gman_freeman;20995052]I remember when our head teacher pretended to give everyone in the class a detention to show some drama skills in our drama lesson, but how the fuck is this science![/QUOTE] apparently they think its for the good of humanity

My science teacher back in Ohio did a similar thing to us, he had some guy come in and steal something while he was out and for the rest of the class we gathered clues and evidence. This seems to be a more juristic one though.

[QUOTE=Henry Townshend;20992907]How the shit is that a science lesson?[/QUOTE] FYI it's a social experiment.

[QUOTE=Henry Townshend;20992907]How the shit is that a science lesson?[/QUOTE] An old teacher of mine had this happen to him in one of his classes at University. The idea of it was to show people what you recall happening isn't always what actually happened. Like, more or less no one could describe the guy who came in, when he came in, how he left, how many shots he fired etc. Still, to do this to [I]children[/I] is inexcusable.

I can see what they had in mind, perhaps it would work on an older age group. But to do it to 10-13 year olds was obviously not thought through.
