Tennesse Kids Hilariously Tried To Make Local TV Station Cancel School Because Of Snow

Kids will do anything to get out of school for the day, as a local television station found out recently. Tennessee's WTVC News Channel 9 has been subject to students' prank, who have taken upon themselves to declare that classes have been cancelled. 

There is no better feelng in the world than staying in bed, keeping warm and toasty under a pile of sheets, and sipping a cup of hot chocolate while snow steadily envelops the world. Unfortunately, for the kids of Chatanooga, Tennessee who just want to stay in bed for the day, the announcement that school is closed due to the upcoming snowstorm did not come soon enough.

"This is [name redacted] with the Hamilton County Department of Education, please inform students of no school tomorrow," a student sent WTVC News Channel 9 on a Private Message on Facebook (via Buzzfeed).

"ha ha - nice try. you obviously don't know the password," the social media person for the TV station replied.

The news program revealed that students expecting to stay in during the snowstorm (as they should) have tirelessly asked whether their school has cancelled classes yet. However, a handful of students thought they could give everybody the good news by posing as school and Department of Education officials. 

.@joshacagan we're still waiting for 3 kids in a trenchcoat claiming to be the superintendent to show up.

Apparently, everyone just assumed that, because the good news comes from the news channel, they must have the power to declare that school is closed for the day. 

Same. https://t.co/jb0gGoe3bZ

Fortunately, WTVC News Channel has taken in things in stride and just shamed the students on its official Twitter page. The outlet was also barraged with too many questions from students on whether their school has cancelled the classes yet. 

When a kid asks "do we have school tomorrow" like they think we already know what school they go to https://t.co/TYcmL8PYt9

In the end, the students got what they wanted. A few hours after, WTVC News Channel 9 declared that all Hamilton County Schools are closed on Thursday.

It must have taken an awful lot of will-power and wishful thinking. 

Convincing yourself there WILL be school tomorrow increases the chances there WON'T be.
