When a student brought a dead squirrel to school it got me thinking about weird stuff kids bring to school. So I asked my followers to share some stories. I was not disappointed!
Some schools allow teachers to choose an object to give to students as a hall pass and some teachers take this opportunity to embarrass their students and have some fun.
Sometimes parents write very inappropriate emails to the teacher. Here are some of the worst.
Imagine walking into a room full of teenagers, armed with only your outdated lingo, ready to drop a “cool beans” or a “this rocks!” on the unsuspecting class.

They merely pound it into their keyboard, press send, and move on with their stupid day.
