Back in my school days, had either of my parents seen or heard of me being involved in a stunt like this, my ass would have been grass and they would have been the lawnmower. The question of teacher supervision would not have entered into the equation.
Viral video recorded at Chelsea Middle has parents concerned about supervision
Chelsea Middle School stair jumping
CHELSEA, AL (WBRC) - Parents are concerned after a disturbing video on social media shows a student at Chelsea Middle School jumping down a large flight of stairs during school hours.
Parents are asking where the staff was when this was happening. We took those concerns straight to the Shelby County School System.
A spokesperson told us there were teachers around at the time, and they were screaming at the kids not to do what they were doing.
She adds it appears there were two kids who jumped but says because of privacy laws she couldn’t disclose if they were injured. The students did face disciplinary actions afterward, according to the spokesperson.
It’s unclear when the incident took place. As for preventing future occurrences, the system issued the following statement:
“This occurred in an area of the school where students have to wait to enter the locker room to change into P.E. clothes. We have placed our School Resource Officer there to assist teachers during the transition of students coming in and out of that locker room location. The principal addressed this behavior over the intercom with all students during morning announcements.”

All kinds of stupid stuff went on when I was in middle and high school. The difference was in my day, there wasn't cell phone to capture it and Youtube/Facebook to post it on. If you were caught, you were summarily dealt with by school administration and then you would catch heck again when you got home. There wasn't any finger pointing except to the idiots kids doing the stuff. Teachers and parents were on the same page.

Tore the front wheel off the bicycle and took about 8 of his 9 lives if he was a cat!! BITCH PLEASE!! the kid walked away without a scratch!! He (and his Brother ) who was not involved in the incident got their ass reamed out for being stupid and causing the man and woman in the car all that "trauma!!!!!!!"
