62 New Jersey students arrested for trashing school, peeing

[annieblah]

Eww

New Jersey police don't think this senior prank is very funny.

More than 60 Teaneck students were arrested after police caught them wrecking their high school as part of a massive senior class prank.

The teens allegedly broke into Teaneck High School and totally trashed the place. They flipped desks, peed in the hallways, slicked doorknobs with grease and left balloons throughout the building, police said.

"I've been a police officer 19 years and this is the craziest thing I've ever seen," Teaneck Police Sgt. John Garland told NBC New York.

Only 62?

Why couldn't they have just left balloons?

NJ Magazine Tweeted this news out with the headline, "Teaneck? More like PEEneck!"

Let's hope these seniors didn't get a question regarding "prank vs. vandalism" on their SATs.

The class ahead of my broke into the Library and took all the books off all of the shelves. They were expelled as well.

Who is raising these people? OMG, peeing in the hallways???

My HS had a landing on its main staircase; someone put a cow on the landing because supposedly cows won't go down stairs.

Someone led released multiple greased pigs.

Awwww... that's a good prank.

That's like putting the dean's office furniture in front of the school.  

No girl, the books were all over the place it took forever and cost the school system a ton of money to have all the books put back in the correct order.

One of the local schools has a tradition of getting a bunch of Solo cups (school color is red) and decorating the one highway overpass fence with them in different patterns/phrases (there are pedestrian sidewalks so relatively safe); and they graffiti another bridge in the area, mostly mocking the rival school district. But it's pretty much overlooked as the tradition. My school was pretty lame and did nothing like this.

It seems like they may have just decided to fill the place with balloons and grease the doorknobs. But then mob mentality took over and the table-flipping-hallway-peeing shenanigans began.

Or, a group of kids came in and did the balloons and grease, then another group showed up afterwards and did a bunch of damage.


OR,I have been watching to many detective shows.

My class was out of control. I didn't go because I knew what was planned and wanted no part of it, some people went and tried to stop it, but in the end rats were released in the school when they students broke into the school at night. The next day they proceeded to call the Dept of Health. They also painted the entire sidewalk with "jokes" making fun of teachers and administration. The jokes were all distasteful low blows. And to top it off they got some kind of rotten nastiness that they covered the entire freshman locker area and carpet with. I believe dead fish also made it in some lockers. It was bad and people didn't get in nearly enough trouble.

Don't folks just ditch any more?

My son's senior prank was them having their cell phones all go off at the same time. I thought it was kind of lame when he told me, but in retrospect I guess I am awfully glad public urination was not part of the plan!

I am the world's worst librarian because I still think that's a funny prank.

This is an excellent time to use the logical consequences punishment - you took the books off the shelf, you put them back on. Librarian will check your work. Next 5 weekends are booked for you.

or maybe the school saves money (or grief with the union about contract violations) and gets a library tech. to check your work. That would only cost my district like $60/day.

Now the superintendent is saying that media reports were overblown, and there was no evidence of urine and no permanent damage done to the school: www.nj.com/bergen/index.ssf/2014/05/teaneck_superintendent_says_reports_of_senior_prank_were_overblown.html#incart_m-rpt-1
