Another edition of our series: Great moments in poor judgment. In this episode, on the final night of a school field trip, teachers stage a mock school shooting rampage as a ‘learning experience’ for the sixth graders on the trip.
During the last night of the trip, staff members convinced the 69 students that there was a gunman on the loose. They were told to lie on the floor or hide underneath tables and stay quiet. A teacher, disguised in a hooded sweat shirt, even pulled on a locked door.
After the lights went out, about 20 kids started to cry, 11-year-old Shay Naylor said.
âI was like, âOh My God,â â she said. âAt first I thought I was going to die. We flipped out.â
