Did we get that right? Doesn’t matter. Point is, summer is ramping down and the school year is ramping up. As you brace yourself for the screeching morning announcements and boring syllabuses that await you, here’s a reminder that schools are ripe for tomfoolery. But before you start messing with your superintendent’s car or spray-painting the teacher’s lounge, remember that vandalizing school property isn’t a prank, it’s just vandalism. In the fact, the best school pranks throughout history were the ones even the faculty had to admit were pretty funny. Allow us to educate you!
Mariachi Lessons
We all know principals have an important job to do, running the school and all. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t susceptible to pranks. Some students at Santa Barbara High School took the top brass to task when they hired a mariachi band to follow him around back in 2014. The principal was a good sport about it, as you can see in the clip of the prank below (which was actually recorded by an amused faculty member).
Chess Fight!
When a fight breaks out, teachers are quick to spring into action to break it up. One teacher heeded this call when a group of students circled up and started chanting “Fight! Fight! Fight!” But as the teacher ran over, the circle opened up to reveal two students playing a harmless game of chess in the center. Nothing to break up here, teach!
Trading Classes
Sure, we’ve all seen Freaky Friday, but have you seen Freaky Friday x100? One Reddit user detailed a school prank where their entire senior class swapped places with the senior class of another local high school. Each student was assigned a corresponding student at the other school who’s schedule they would follow for a day. Guess they weren’t rivals!
