A meteor is coming and we’re all going to die, British teacher tells pupils

A female teacher at a Manchester high school had a brilliant idea. To motivate her students to “seize the day” she would convince them that they were living their last. She told them that a meteorite was going to strike the Earth in 10 days and that they should go home and say goodbye to their families.

The teacher … only realised [sic] her lecture was misjudged when many of the assembled teenagers started crying, the Sun newspaper said in its Friday edition.

According to the report, the unnamed female teacher made the announcement to around 250 pupils at St Matthew’s Roman Catholic High School during their regular morning assembly.
…
After the crowd of 13- and 14-year-olds looked on in horror, and many burst into tears, the teacher swiftly explained that she was only trying to encourage them to “seize the day”.

“Some of the children were 100 percent convinced they were going to die,” the father of one child told the paper.

“God only knows what this teacher thought she was doing.”

Good thing she’s in England. Over here they’d bump her up into administration now.
