Students Won't Walk At Graduation After Prank
It all started as a senior prank Sunday night.
According to Osceola Superintendent Michael Cox, the students illegally went into the school and damaged property.
Cox said they threw cereal in the hallways, spray painted some walls and trashed several other areas.
The students received a 5-day suspension and will not be allowed to attend their graduation Friday night.
Cox said criminal charges have also been filed.
Some students and parents believe the district went overboard on the punishment.
I know when my kid's class prank happened - well ONE of them - they took 3 pigs, and put 1, 2, and 4 on their backs...and turned them loose in school. The school Officials ran around trying to find number 3 for most of the day. The pigs didn't hurt anything, and didn't destroy stuff. I thought it was creative, but no doubt annoying for staff.
Yet, breaking into your school to trash the school and spray paint the walls? Then you have parents tell everyone - AHHH its not that BAD!!! Please. If there children did this at their home? I'm sure their 'prank' wouldn't be so funny. I read in another article they peed all over the place too. YUCK!
NOT walking down the aisle at Graduation would be the last thing they had to worry about if my kids pulled that.
It was bad judgement on their part, and being suspended and not walking down the aisle I find it is just. The misdemeanor which could have been heavier charges? I doubt they will pay for the damages they caused, and don't really have a problem with that either.
