Found on the web…<\/p>\n

Don’t you just love it when teachers’ good intentions go a muck?<\/p>\n

An elementary school class started a class project to make a planter
\nto take home to their parents. They wanted to have a plant in it;
\nthat 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. <\/p>\n

They planted cactus seeds in the finished planters and they grew
\nnicely… but unfortunately the children were not allowed to take them home…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The cactus plants were removed and small ivy replaced them, and the children were then allowed to take them home instead. The teacher said cactus seemed like a good idea at the time!!<\/p>\n
