school defends DWI shock tactics
Students were told classmates had died in car wrecks — they hadn't

OCEANSIDE, Calif. - On a Monday morning last month, highway patrol officers visited 20 classrooms at El Camino High School to announce some horrible news: Several students had been killed in car wrecks over the weekend.





Classmates wept. Some became hysterical.





A few hours and many tears later, though, the pain turned to fury when the teenagers learned that it was all a hoax — a scared-straight exercise designed by school officials to dramatize the consequences of drinking and driving.





As seniors prepare for graduation parties Friday, school officials in the largely prosperous San Diego suburb are defending themselves against allegations they went too far.





At school assemblies, some students held up posters that read: "Death is real. Don't play with our emotions.



"

'They got the shock they wanted'
Michelle de Gracia, 16, was in physics class when an officer announced that her missing classmate David, a popular basketball player, had died instantly after being rear-ended by a drunken driver. She said she felt nauseated but was too stunned to cry.





"They got the shock they wanted," she said.





Some of her classmates became extremely upset, prompting the teacher to tell them immediately it was all staged.





"People started yelling at the teacher," she said. "It was pretty hectic.



"

Others, including many who heard the news of the 26 deaths between classes, were left in the dark until the missing students reappeared hours later.





"You feel betrayed by your teachers and administrators, these people you trust," said 15-year-old Carolyn Magos. "But then I felt selfish for feeling that way, because, I mean, if it saves one life, it's worth it.



"

'We wanted them to be traumatized'
Officials at the 3,100-student school officials defended the program.





"They were traumatized, but we wanted them to be traumatized," said guidance counselor Lori Tauber, who helped organize the shocking exercise and got dozens of students to participate. "That's how they get the message.



"

The plan was to tell the truth to the students at an assembly later in the day. But word that it was all a hoax began to spread before the gathering. Tauber said some counselors and administrators revealed the truth to calm some students who had become upset.





Oceanside Schools Superintendent Larry Perondi said he fielded only a few calls from parents, while the PTA chapter said it had not heard any complaints. Perondi said the program would be revised, but he would not say how. And he said he was glad that students seemed to have gotten the message.





"We did this in earnest," he said. "This was not done to be a prankster.



"

I think it's unacceptable.

How about telling the teachers that one of their own teachers died from being in a drunk driving accident? I bet that wouldn't go over too well.

What should be the punishment for these officers?

They should be demoted for scaring the kids like that.

The school officials should be reprimanded also,possibly loss of their positions.

I thought they/school/coppers had to have a parent's permission to include their child in that kind of scare tactic program.
