This could only happen to a teacher!
This is one of those classic occurrences in life that just seem to go wrong
even when the intentions were so honorable. A class of elementary students
started a class project to make a plant pot to take home and wanted to have
a plant in it that was easy to take care of, so it was decided to use cactus
plants. The students were given green ware pottery in the style of a clown
plant pot and they painted them with glaze and had them professionally
fired at a class outing so they could see the process.
It was great fun. They planted the cactus seeds in the finished planters and
they grew nicely but unfortunately were not allowed to take them home. The
cactus plants were removed and a small ivy replaced them and the children
were then allowed to take them home. The teacher said cactus seemed like a
good idea at the time.......
