This was done because the kids at school were too noisy during lunch (Why? Why must children be quiet during lunch?!?). The funny thing is that we used metal folding chairs in a linoleum-floored lunchroom, so whenever a class came in or left, the chairs would screech and the alarm would go off.<br /><br />So, the alarm was going off pretty much constantly. My classmates and I began to wave our arms in synch with the alarm, like we were orchestra conductors. (This behavior resulted in instantaneous reprimands from teachers.)<br /><br />Would you believe that the school PTA voted for this stupid light over new books for the school library? The school library with the ten-year-old encyclopedias that listed the space shuttle as a "dream for the future"? Yeah, that was the kicker for me. I was SO glad to move away from that place at the end of the year.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06949700159593843060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-37188265022031909972007-02-07T14:35:00.000-05:002007-02-07T14:35:00.000-05:00...and then I found out that a couple libraries in......and then I found out that a couple libraries in my system actually own one. They seem to see the humor in it. Either that or they plan to lynch me at the next children's librarian's meeting.

Blast some Frank Sinatra. <br /><br />Babies crying? Switch the sound to the Wiggles and watch the toddlers start dancing.Liz Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671844475303001610noreply@blogger.com
