Parents at a South Windsor school are expressing outrage after teachers led graduating students to believe they were heading to Disney World for a year-end trip - only to reveal the next day that the kids were the butt of an elaborate joke.

Done to teach a lesson to one kid who was snooping in a teacher’s desk.
Oh. Fantastic. That means its all right then. Whew!

It reminds me of the Opie and Anthony prank of winning a hundred grand (candy bar)!

Bowling? is that appropriate for 8th graders?
"It's a very intimate situation! It's all sexy with the smoke, and the sweating, and the shoe rental..."
Sick.
I say take the kids to WDW with $ from the teachers’ pension
Very likely the most important lesson these kids will ever learn in their public school.
“He said part of his weekend was spent convincing his three children that “this is not the norm” and that teachers, as authority figures, should continue to be respected and trusted.”
Remember Children, the government is your authority figure and should be respected and trusted... because... you have no other choice.
“Hey...Teacher....Leave those kids alone.”
