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

Thu Nov 18, 7:06 PM ET
Offbeat - AFP

LONDON (AFP) - A British schoolteacher, attempting to
motivate her pupils into making the most of each day, told
them a meteorite was about to smash into the Earth and that
they should all return home to say goodbye to their
families, a report said.

The teacher at the high school in Manchester, northwest
England, only realised 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.


Saying she had bad news, the teacher announced that a meteor
would strike the Earth in 10 days' time, and that they
should return home and say their "final farewells" to their
parents.

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."

Wow, haha. Too bad it's not true, so he could be taught a
lesson.

There really is a meteor on a collision course with us, but
it's probably more like 100 years away, not 20... and by
then, we'll be able to shoot it with some kind of
anti-meteor beam. They'll be pretty common by that time.

it's really all in the delivery, in my opinion. some
teachers could pull something like this off, and probably
have, and we've never heard about it. i feel bad for her in
all honesty. yeah, she definitely should have worked it out
better or skipped it altogether, but it's a good message.

I'm not afraid - US will send Bruce Willis in his dirty
mayka (vest?) and he is able to fix all kind of problems - a
really tough guy. Saviour of our world, Jesus Christ clone
Bruce 'silver surfer' Willis will saw the asteroid with his
chainsaw, and push both halves a little, so that they will
never collide with Mother Earth, colliding instead with
another planet which we don't give a fuck about. Relax,
everybody.
