The teacher let the fools out

It's May and its time for school to let out...not because the calendar says so, that's not until May 23, but because the kids say so! Last week a fourth grader was caught smoking a cigarette on the playground during recess, right under the well-trained noses of the recess staff! The teachers didn't catch him, the other students reported him! Other kids are using more violent tactics and beating each other up during P.E., bringing guns and ammo to school, or just shocking the teachers by reporting "private bathroom moments" for shock value. Yep, it may be different kids with different approaches, I'm pretty sure I've seen or heard it all. But what it all boils down to is we're all ready, the end is in sight, yet it never gets here quite fast enough.
