Giving baked goods a bad name

[offbalance]

I've wanted to tell some former teachers of mine that they were shitty, but I think this is a bridge too far. 0.o

Teachers already have to put up with so much - and now they have this on top of it? Geez. Am I the only one who thinks that it'd be better to simply give someone you don't like the cold shoulder, rather than going through the time and trouble (not to mention risk) of pulling a stunt like this? Or maybe it's my turn to rattle my cane and complain about how kids today think they can get away with anything because they often are able to get away with anything, thanks to overly lax/absentee parenting, but I'm going to just sit in my rocking chair.

As a parent, I would beat Cara's ass if she pulled anything like this as a teenager. Thank God they were arrested.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

The only prank I had ever heard of being done at my old grade school was the kids pushing the music teacher's car into the field by the parking lot. No mean spirit behind it and she took it in good humor. As much as the kids as a whole were jerks, for the most part they respected the student/teacher thing.

WTF wow. Good thing my kids are bad at science!

You know, at my Dad's private high school they pulled a lot of pranks on each other. I'm not sure about the teachers.

I do know that the foreign exchange student--who everyone thought of as being sweet and innocent--got the ENTIRE choir with a batch of eX-Lax brownies (I'm pretty sure it was brownies). Obviously, they all survived (though they felt pretty awful for a bit).

I'm not saying that I condone the prank. I don't. And it was attempted in an utterly idiotic way (when they make chocolate laxatives, use them in your prank-baking). But... well, it ain't like what they did was at all original.
