Teachers' good intentions go amuck!!!
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 green ware 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...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!
