Super Glue

Sometimes people ask that I share funny "kid" stories (from school) with them, so here' s my first... let me begin though by giving you a short synopsis of the type of school I teach at. Grades 6-8, almost 1100 students, out in the boondocks where you can smell chicken farms and literally, like last week, see wild roosters on campus. We probably have around 75% on free or reduced lunch and almost every kid is a bus rider. Soooo... if you're ever in our area, do visit the 77 acres of Lake Forest out in the country. It's a "special" place. :o)

I have this student, lets call him "Bob" just for privacy and so I don't lose my job. He is quite a character who would prefer to wear a rebel flag on his shirt everyday if the dress code permitted it, and enjoys bringing any type of hunting magazine to school to "read" in his spare time. Somehow during the day he proceeds to take super glue into the boys bathroom and put it on a toilet seat. He convinces some other innocent kid that all of the toilet seats have glue except that one, which then, of course, leads that little boy to sitting on the seat with glue. Do you see what we have on our hands here?? I mean, these are some of the most mischevious kids and they come up with anything! I'm not quite sure what teacher found out first, and if there will be any type of repercussions, but that lets you know what I get to experience out at "the forest." This would also be the child that wrote a note to a girl in class that said, "Why won't you let me touch your bobs?" Take a minute and figure that one out.... he might want to work on his spelling first.
