I know I've posted a few times about classroom pets and neglect, but this one takes the cake. We're doing summer cleaning right now where we go room-to-room and clean from floor to ceiling and then strip and wax the floors. I went into a teacher's room yesterday for the first time since school ended a month ago and I did not like what I found. She left her class pets! She had a large mystery snail and a large clawed frog in a tank. The snail is dead but the frog is still alive. Its skin and bones! I think it lived by eating the snail's insides once the snail died. I gave it food because she left the food sit out by the tank. The filter is running but the water level is almost low enough for it to be running dry. I'm going to take home a water sample in a water bottle when my supervisor isn't in the room. She doesn't understand how outraged I am. Its not only that, but the teachers organize their rooms and pack stuff they don't want touched onto their cupboards before leaving. She clearly was stacking stuff next to the tank before she walked away for the summer. I wish I could tell the students that their psycho teacher left their class pets to starve over summer. I'd probably get fired. This was a 5th grade class though and I do work with the 6th grades rooms over the school year... This teacher's new nickname is Jeffery Dahmer.
