So ridiculous
Why not just make them clean it up like they did to us when we pulled pranks.
No common sense left in the schools today

I've read where someone "let them in" to the building... if so, there goes the B&E.

Like most of you, I only know what I read in that article. I read it quick and didn't see anything about breaking and entering, and I don't know enough about the law to know the specifics about that, BUT, if there was no damage done to the school or school property, I don't see any harm done.

I do love the fact that the valedictorian and salutatorian were involved as well. Most of the time, the smart kids are too scared to have any fun and let loose. In 10 years, all these kids will say that high school was a breeze, compared to life, but right now, it's their greatest accomplishment, and they deserve to celebrate a little. No one was hurt, no property seemed to be damaged ... lighten up, Frances ... and bklem (unless you're going to tell us the "rest of the story").

Me: "Hey Dad, tomorrow is Sr RGV skip day & anybody who is anybody is heading down to the island tomorrow...you will likely get a call."

Dad: "K..."

VP: "Mr. Sr Artos, We feel your son participated in an orchestrated valley wide skip day, do you know where your son was yesterday"??

Dad: "He was down at the island having fun or home sick in bed...I'm good with either one."

I like your style!

My wife is a teacher, I understand it’s a no win for teachers. I think kids could be held a little more accountable in the class room, and also extended a little leash for harmless pranks after the work is done. That’s all. And I don’t know anything about this situation that’s not in that link.

Breaking into the school means they’re on their own though. That’s not a good move.

Bingo. There is no logic or common sense with teachers (my wife is a teache and my ex wife is a teacher as well) or administrators these days. This is a sign of the "zero tolerance" times. It was a lot better when teachers and administrators were actually allowed to use judgement instead of what is written in a binder on their shelf no matter how that binder fits the situation.

I understand the point you are trying to make but I would argue that the best approach lies somewhere in the middle.

Looks like pretty harmless pranks to me. No damage at all.

They need to terminate the contracts of the administration that backed this or get rid of the entire school board also. Two sides of the story or not. Tell the other side of the story. My gosh let them have harmless fun. Totally ridiculous imo.

Another Artos high school event goes like this---

VP at high school to me Artos dad: " Mr. Sr Artos your son is leaving school every day at lunch and as you know we have a closed campus."

Me Artos Dad: " Mr. VP that's your problem not mine. Besides that Artos tells me the cafeteria food at school sucks."

Something similar happened in Pecos. The news reported on it but only relayed the harmless pranks. Left out the fact that they did $X damages and didn’t mention them spray painting the walls. Probably had to do with who some of the parents were.

Yup...had lunch with the football coaches at least once a week. They also knew I had a shotty & a flat of shells during bird season in the bronco which would get me expelled / jail time today.

Funny thing was that I somehow ended having PE my SR year even tho I was in football workout 2nd period & the baseball coach told me I didn't have check in for that class...so, I had 2 hours for lunch!!

I miss the 80's...
