That's awful! I often think it's probably for the best that I'm not an elementary-school teacher. I would probably give the kids too much recess and get in trouble with the principal. Wow.

Top three excuses, in order of appearance: • "you're too wound up after you have recess, so we'll just sit inside and do table work" • "It's too cold [i.e., it's 75º on a 90º day]" • "It's to hot [i.e. it's 75º on a 60º day]" No joke...
