Yes, the title of this post sucks. But my mind is reeling faster than Britney Spears through the doors of Promises Malibu Treatment Center.
It seems that some teachers from Scales Elementary School in Brentwood, Tennessee, decided it would be a simply fabulous idea to stage a fake gun attack on sixth-grade students who were on a field trip to a state park. (Watch the video from ABC News here.)
You know, 11-year-olds don't have enough to worry about. Let's traumatize them. That'll win us a teaching award.
They told the kids that there was a gunman on the loose, and made them lie on the floor or hide under tables. Soon-to-be-unemployed Assistant Principal Don Bartch, who led the trip, said, "We got together and discussed what we would have done in a real situation." And then they held hands and sang "Kumbaya." No, just kidding.
Principal Catherine Stephens said later that the incident "involved poor judgement." Ya think?

That is the most insane thing I have ever heard! It is the kind of thing that automatically prompts me to say... (and I apologise in advance) but 'Only in America!' Please don't be offended...
