The other day I checked my mailbox in the faculty room....there was a book order catalogue, wrapped in plastic. It had come from the post office, with an apology letter saying it had been damaged.
I opened the plastic....didn't look damaged to me except for a few creased pages.
In my classroom I have a "jobs" bin where kids can do some extra jobs if they'd like when their work is finished. (Isn't it weird that they like that?!)
In went the book order.
Later that morning, one of my students grabbed the catalogue and began to pull the book orders out for distribution to students.
Suddenly, he came over to me. Completely stunned look on his face. Something was very obviously wrong. Wouldn't make eye contact.
"Um...teacher? This was in the book order..." He turned to the side, so he couldn't see what he was handling me.....a BRA AND UNDERWEAR CATALOGUE....with pictures of women modeling the bras!
Poor, scarred child! It was a Bali brand catalogue that was addressed to a home about 50 miles north of Logan....must have gotten mixed in my "damaged" book order at the post office!

No Way! Poor Kid! I can just imagine! I would have done the exact same thing you did and just put the whole stack in the bin! However, the 5th graders probably would have stuck that magazine in their backpacks and I wouldn't have heard about it till later when an angry parent called! LOL! Maybe I'm glad I'm not teaching anymore! :)
