Here’s a good one. While I think the teachers, in this case, mishandled this, it does point out a need for school drills to be more realistic.

Terrorist teachers, fire them all.

Principal Catherine Stephens declined to say whether the staff members involved would face disciplinary action, but said the situation "involved poor judgment."

The teachers should be fired because this goes well beyond "poor judgment".

I'd have some teacher's heads on a platter if this was my kid. Maybe they should pay for the therapy these kids will need in the future. DUMB, DUMB, DUMB! I can't imagine why these teachers should not be fired. This goes well beyond an innocent mistake.

You know what would have been funny is if one of the kids would have pulled aout a gun and shot the pretend badguy:

Relax people it only lasted five minutes and was probally the most they will learn all year.

I think I much preferred it when teachers got in the news for diddling little johnny in the locker room.

In our dreams. I feel sorry for those kids and think the ignorant "staff members" should be fired. What a crock.

Or a passing CCW permit holder. Tennessee is a shall issue state. "Hey. Hands over your head. On your knees. Now lay face down with your hands behind your head. What are you trying to do to these kids?"

"Oh. Just a drill"

"OK. You can get up and get some clean pants."

Now that would have been poetic justice.
