Brain-dead Teachers Freak Students Out With Fake Gun Attack

Someone actually thought this was a good idea? How stupid do you have to be?
Staff members of an elementary school staged a fictitious gun attack on students during a class trip, telling them it was not a drill as the children cried and hid under tables.
...
"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.
Update: Here's a link to the school's press release on the topic. Their account of what happened is completely opposite of what was reported on CNN.
Most of the students stood up and said, "That was a good one." "Yeah, you got me." High fives were exchanged.
"The children went to sleep and did not discuss it the following morning."
The absurdity of that statement is staggering. They are trying to convince people that in a class of over 60 students, after teachers pulled a 'prank', that not one of these ~60 students said anything about it the next day? Not one of them teased another one about falling for the 'joke'? Really? Not one?

Either the school is totally downplaying this or CNN has got some serious problems with their accuracy. But something about this press release bothers me and apparently I'm not the only one:

The person who posted this comment on the Slashdot forums is right on.

In the wake of the VT tragedy, I think this “mock” scenario was a little premature. I think the idea of engaging in a scenario like this could be helpful and unfortunatly necessary due to our present society. However, I think this was COMPLETELY ridiculous to engage ELEMENTARY students in this scenario. They are not mentally developed enough to handle such an intense situation and not be negatively effected from it. High School students would benefit more from this type of scenario. I do feel that the teachers should be held accountable for their actions.
