When asked why she had the sticky trap, the girl said she had been "helping the other teacher". After some pondering, I decided against asking the other teacher (who had the reputation as being highly assertive and odd) what they were doing with the sticky trap. Luckily, the trap came off with a minimal loss of skin, and her mother took the incident in stride, and with a laugh!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714058.post-24571885533733715892010-11-30T15:01:26.175-08:002010-11-30T15:01:26.175-08:00You just never know what kids are going to do.

You must have tougher students). Accidents happen all the time, especially when kids want to fix something they don't know anything about. I'm glad he was okay!J E Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03372746219262163566noreply@blogger.com
