Florida teen walks for graduation twice in high school prank

Story: Florida teen walks for graduation twice in high school prank

It probably makes you feel like your administration cares when you can walk across stage completely casually and unrecognized. This teen will certainly have an edge on his competition when applying for college and/or employment. With graduation rates in Florida gradually on the rise, you have to wonder if it's because some kids have two diplomas!

Plane Lands on Flordia Middle School Field

What to do when in doubt and you need to land a plane because of engine problems? You land it in a middle school football field. It's practical because it's open space, but what about all the kids? No issue with that this time around because it was early in the morning and students did not arrive yet.

Alligator at Tampa Middle School

A single alligator invaded Tampa Middle School! Thankfully, the gator was found before school, caught and taken away before students arrived at school. But oddly, the unwelcomed guest was probable because the school is near a river that had many alligators in it.

Teachers give students pretend Xanax

Story: Westchase teachers learn a lesson: Say 'no' to mints in pill bottles

In some Florida schools, the teachers think it's cute to encourage students to down a bottle of pills when they get stressed during their standardized tests. The children were handed little bottles of prescription pills filled with mints. They are being taught at an early age that when life hands you a challenge, their is a drug that can cure it! I can't wait to point fingers when we find these kids years later in a pool of their own vomit after over-dosing on Oxycodone.

Teacher fired for comment about shape of Florida

Story: Shawnee Mission teacher says comment led to his firing

When Rand McNally started making maps, he never would have guessed the shape of Florida was going to get a teacher fired. But when you loosely explain to a class of eighth graders that it looks like an excited penis, you're gonna find some backlash. FACT: Every 14-year old knows what a penis looks like. Inappropriate comment? Maybe. Fire the guy? Well the whole town of students and parents seem to think the opposite. All I know is that if I were a boy in his class, I would be counting down the days until the Grand Tetons showed up in my geography book.

Mandarin High coach charged in 'prank'

Story: Mandarin High coach charged in 'prank'

What did we learn here? The next time you try to rob a convenience store with a mask on and a shotgun pointed at the clerk (only to realize you're not getting into the safe), you CAN'T just go back in a couple minutes later and claim you were joking. If that were true I don't think over-crowding in prisons would be a problem.
