School Sends Kids to Closed Amusement Park – Yahoo! News

Four bus loads of students from O’Brien Middle School made the four-hour trip to Six Flags Marine World in Vallejo, Calif., only to find the amusement park’s gates locked Monday. The school-sponsored trip was supposed to reward top students.

It was pretty much a fiasco,” said Washoe County School District spokesman Steve Mulvenon.

Probably not a bad lesson for these hard-working kids…life is nothing but one long, drawn-out letdown with very brief, rapidly fleeting moments of unalloyed joy to remind you to keep your head up. When do you think reality set in? I’m betting on the vast, empty plains of parking lot asphalt for most.
