Interesting, though, that apparently this was done with the voluntary cooperation of a significant number of students. I’m withholding judgement here. At least one girl interviewed seems to think it was effective, and the “missing” students were obviously all consulted beforehand, and none of them saw fit to register a formal complaint in advance of the event. Maybe the teens know what gets through to teens. I do hope the parents of the “missing” teens were consulted in advance, though. If not, I definitely have a problem with this.

Its an astonishingly stupid thing for the school to do. I wonder what the school would do if, for instance, a group of students "voluntarily" got together and planned a similar charade -- maybe something like "Johnny and Billy said they are coming to the school tomorrow with guns because they are unhappy with how they have been bullied in school."
No doubt the school administration (and the local police) would consider that a great way to teach everyone how important it is to respect one's classmates. -- NOT!!
