                Have you ever been robbed?

     When students found out that their money had been robbed most we're frustrated and most also thought it was ridiculous. A girl in 8th grade said that "I was angry because I was looking forward to Springfield " and she also said that " I was also furious towards those at the office because they didn't keep it in a safe place". Another girl that this has happened to said " I felt very disappointed because I trusted them with my money" and also she also said that , " I was wondering who saw it, and how did they find it?!". She was furious that this happened and later found out it was a joke it was just a lesson for a class. She also said that she felt like her money was just a toy to play around with.

    After the students have been through teachers or staff in school such as Mrs.Hauer had told the students " it was a lesson for ELA ", 90% reactions of the students felt that they were ridiculous because it's different for money than a lesson. Another girl at the school said that "She will never be able to trust them again and that they shouldn't do this for a lesson because our parents worked for this money and not for it to be played around.

    If we ask the staff on what they thought, the principal Mrs.Boutet said that at first when she found out about the money being stolen she was "frustrated and inquisitive " she also said that " I was brainstorming ways for students to still attend the trip and as well to investigate the situation further" another staff member named Ms.Belkov said that " at first I was disappointed that students began pointing fingers at each other, as well as at teachers and staff members. But I understood their frustration "

    Here's what some staff said after they found out the money wasn't stolen . Mrs.Boutet said "Once I heard this was false and that students were informed, I was relieved and happy that everyone could attend the trip", another person that was informed before the situation happened that already knew it wasn't stolen said "I was happy to see that most students understand the lesson we were trying to teach them and hope they will not forget them not that this "experiment" is not over.
