On Friday, May 8th, 4 senior students from an Ohio high school were arrested for a prank that they pulled on the school. The four students had removed valve stems (which are the metal things that stick out of a tire in order for you to fill it will air) and caused 24 buses to have flat tires the next day. Because there were so many buses that had flat tires, the school board was forced to cancel all classes for that day. Two grades were supposed to go on field trips that day, but were again canceled because of the senior prank. Not only did the four seniors cause 2,000 students in the district to have school that day, but their vandalism has caused thousands and thousands of dollars in repair. The students were charged with vandalism and disrupting public service. Tony Orr, the Superintendent of the school district, said that the students will have pay for the damages and will have to may up for the day that was canceled.
Do you think that this prank was worth it given the punishment?
Why do you think the students did this? Were they sick of school? Did they want to leave a lasting impression?

Excellent job!!
There's plenty of other ways to make a lasting impression, but damaging 28 school buses? I think that might be overkill
I think that many seniors want to pull a bigger and better prank because they are seniors and they are about out of school.
I think that this prank was excessive and pointless. I think it was definitely not worth the punishment.
I don't it was worth the punishment especially if you had to pay for all of it. They did this because they wanted to be the people that everyone remembered them for pulling this prank.
I think that the students did this wanting to leave with a big bang and a big impression like the best prank pulled ever. Like matthew said, i know you want to leave with a bang but not a criminal record.
I think the students did this to leave a lasting impression for their High School career. As a senior you want to leave with a impression but maybe not in this way.
I don't think that it was worth it. At the end of the school year, I know you want to leave with a bang but not a criminal record.
It is definitely not worth it, and you would think that they would do a prank a little less crazy, and I bet that the students were angry as school is getting towards the end.
I dont think they knew how much damage their prank could of done, I dont think they thought it through
