Teachers at a US school have been criticised after staging a fake gun attack during a class trip, telling children it was not a drill.
Many of the 69 pupils, aged about 11, were reduced to tears when they were told to hide under tables and keep quiet as a gunman was on the loose.
Parents of the children, who attended Scales Elementary school in Tennessee, were said to be furious at the "stunt".
The school spoke of "poor judgment" but did not comment on disciplinary action.
...
The incident lasted about five minutes and was intended to be a learning experience, said the school's assistant principal, Don Bartch, who led the trip.
Oh, it was a learning experience alright. We learned Mr. Bartch is an idiot who should not be allowed near children.
