On topic--The first incident, though I understand the students' frustration, had I been in that incident, I woulda been mad for maybe a minute, then I'd understand the purpose of it. As Avarre said, a realistic experience will teach a hell of a lot more than a lecture ever did. The next day, I'd probably be laughing about it all.

The one involving the elementary students though, that coulda waited a few years. Let em hit 13-15 and then take care of it. 10-11 is a bad age for that, imo.
