Prank Day - Dread It or Love It? At An International School It's A Lot Of Fun

Today is the last day for the seniors who graduate this year. They have negotiated the pranks they are allowed to play with the senior management.

All in all, the pranks are a bit of fun and not the least bit disrespectful to either the staff or the other students. Prank Day was nothing like this in my previous school in the UK where it was always something to be firmly controlled in case of damage.

Today the students have covered the whole campus in ceran wrap (cling film). It was challenging to get into school this morning because they'd even strung it between the buildings!

They are also treating us to a 'joke of the hour' over the public announcement system, which is a little disruptive and the jokes so far have been really bad!

The one thing I objected to was handing over my exit pass (we take them off the students when they owe us some work), as that would mean I was trapped in the school for the whole day. I like to get my lunch from one of the vendors outside the school!

I think the reason that this Prank Day has been so easy is because the students we have here are international students who are raised in a society that respects schools and teachers.
