How much more education could they NEED on bitter, crushing disappointment, they live in WINDSOR for crissakes.

 

Is there something about Windsor that I'm not getting here?

 

what?

 

I bet some of the parents feeling sorry for their children and think about taking them Disneyworld sometime.

 

Somebody should show this to the Disney bosses - maybe they'll send the kids some free Mickey Mouse ears or something to cheer them up.  

 

or pictures of a bunch of happy kids at disneyland saying "Wish you were here!"

 

These teachers? Should be paying for the trips themselves out of pocket.

 

So let me get this straight.

A class in Canada actually believed that they're getting a tip to Disney World. And the trip requires passports, crossing international borders & traveling across the US. This must be a multi-day field trip so lodging must be in order.

All this for free......

 

Money and or force the teachers to make good on the "promised" trip to Disney world.

whether or not they would have a case, i do not know but that's not stopped people from filing a lawsuit.

 

No wonder there are so many frivolous lawsuits in the states.

 

Sad but true there are lawyers who will take nearly any case if your willing to pay his fees.

 

which is what I've been saying about three times in this thread.
I've taken trips all over the country with kids anywhere from 55-88 kids a LOT of kids. I've never taken them out of the country because the paperwork, passports, oney and risk and well everything is just too high so I've never done that. Plus I personally have never been out of the country and I'd rather know the process for traveling out of the country myself before having to check on 55 teenagers too.
When we had a connecting flight when traveling to Florida I had two kids that lost their boarding passes between flights can you imagine the fiasco that was and that was wile the place was boarding I had to go all the way back to the check in desk downstairs, go back through security (and one of the teenagers had no license id nothing), UGH!

 

I'm not surprised by this, considering the crop of "schools are run by assholes" stories that pop up every now and again, but this is a little mean-spirited. What was the point of this? To teach kids the bitter sting of disappointment?

 

Ok, so I followed a few links in the article and I have a timeline of the story that actually explains things from the teacher's point of view somewhat and it begins to make more sense.

The story happens over a Thursday and a Friday. The teacher has been having a problem with students snooping on his desk. He decides to teach the kids a lesson. On Thursday, he leaves fake information on his desk implying a class trip to Disney. The kids snoop and take the bait. The rumor is spread.

Because the kids have snooped and taken the bait, the teacher follows through on Friday. He passes out forms. He gets their hopes up. BAM! It ends in a crushing blow for the snooping children. It was never going to happen, and if they hadn't been snooping the day before then they never would have gotten their hopes up.

None of the forms made it home to the parents. They weren't signed. No trip happened yet. A bunch of snooping kids were taught a lesson. Don't be nosing around the teacher's desk. Was it harsh? Yeah. Mean? Probably. Funny? I think so. Internet rage based on hasty conclusions? Definitely.

 

Unless all 30 students were snooping through his desk, it was a pretty big dick move for all the good kids who didn't go through his stuff.

 

It was also over the line and could have been handled a lot better but instead it got way out of hand. The kids should not have been snooping but that doesn't make what the teachers did right.

 

Not to mention the teachers filiming the whole thing and posting it on the internet. That's the worst part of it IMO.

 

Everyone's a prospective parent on the internet. If word leaks out that you've messed with kids, then you're worse than 7 Cthulhus.
Also, was filming it really necessary?

 

Indeed. You teach someone a lesson once and that should be it. Not film it so the kids are punished over and over again everytime someone watches the video, especially the kids that weren't even snooping that were for some reason 'punished' alongside the guilty during the execution of this 'prank'.

Filming it shows that teaching the snooping kids a lesson wasn't the teachers' only reason for doing this. You only film something if you intend to either watch it over and over in private for your own gratification like a pervy ass, or you intend to show it to other people to show how 'clever' you were and to laugh about the whole matter with them like an ass.
Either way it just shows even more that these teachers should lose their jobs. And that they're asses.

If the whole thing was just to teach the kids a lesson then it should've been contained to that one moment in person and not have needed to be filmed for showing again.

 

Teachers get paid to teach course material. Nothing more. Life lessons should be learned in the back seat of an 88 Chevy Impala. But I digress...

What they did broke the trust between the teachers and students/parents. Only one way to get that back.

Feed them to the Sharkticons.
