On the curriculum today: How to psychologically destroy a bunch 10 year old kids 101. Students ranging from 10-13 years of age got to witness Mr. Kent’s little skit at a Worcestershire school. The lesson included a helpful ‘real world’ situation, which included Mr. Kent getting blasted by a gunman.

The exercise on Tuesday afternoon began when pupils were told there was a gun in the school. Five minutes later, the alarm bell sounded and more than 300 pupils were sent out into the playground where they saw three teachers running across the field. They saw a “gunman” in the distance and heard what sounded like gunfire before seeing Mr Kent, a religious education teacher, fall to the ground. His colleagues then appeared to try to resuscitate him.

So as the children sat mortified and sobbing, the teachers finally called them in to the assembly hall to tell them it wasn’t real. “LOL crybabies he’s not even dead.”
