Don’t you just love it when teachers’ good intentions go a muck?
An elementary school class started a class project to make a planter
to take home to their parents. They wanted to have a plant in it;
that was easy to take care of, so they decided to use cactus plants. The students were given greenware pottery planters in the shape of a clown, which they painted with glaze. The clown planters were professionally fired at a class outing so they could see the process. It was great fun.
They planted cactus seeds in the finished planters and they grew
nicely… but unfortunately the children were not allowed to take them home…
