We watched this movie about how a glass coke bottle that falls from a plane into a isolated African society completely disrupts it's social stucture. I wish I could remember the name because it was a really funny movie.

Yeah, I have heard of that, I can't remember it's name either.
On a side note, I am really envious of you all, my school didn't have a sociology class or anything like that.

I went to a great high school. Even though we were considered the 'criminal' school in our district, we weren't. We were awesome.

I went to a pretty good school, but we didn't have a lot of options as far as classes went.

My parents almost sent me to a catholic school, but I talked them out of it. Nuns aren't my thing.
Neither is catholisism for that matter. Hm.

My parents sent me there because I and been homeschooled since kindsrgarten and our public school was massive, so they were scared of culture shock and thought a smaller school was better.

Haha! My band director (the one who sing Elton John and like Borne) just posted a new picture on facebook. It's his seventh grade band photo! He had a mullet!

I remember my 9th grade English teacher was tired of students swiping her pencils, so every time someone would ask for a pencil, she would request that they'd give her one of their shoes. That way, the pencil would safely return.... or they'd leave class with one shoe.

I had teachers that did that to except, sometimes she'd take other stuff because some people had stinky feet.

I remember in first grade, we were playing with a pinata at the playground for a class activity. One of us, I can't remember, managed to knock the pinata off the string it was hanging off of without the pinata breaking. So... we had to smack the ground like we were playing wack-a-mole to break open the pinata. XD

Oh man, how could I have forgotten the best one of them all.
In second grade, we got some gingerbread men and got to decorate them. We then went to the art room because there was a guest speaker there, and when we came back, our gingerbread cookies were gone.
I remember the teacher had a police officer come in and we explained the situation. He suggested that we make wanted posters for our gingerbread men and post them around the school. So... each of us made one poster for our cookie. There was this one boy in class... the counciler came in to talk to us (which was a weekly thing if I remember correctly), and she swung this doll's foot or something and it broke his cookie's leg off before the cookies disappeared. When he drew his cookie, he drew it with a cast on the broken leg and I think there was a crutch on it, too.
A few days past, and our teacher set up a trap for the gingerbread men. She laid out a remote control car and a box that would fall ontop of the car. The next morning, the box was ontop of the car, and some of our gingerbread men were in car. This happened for a few days until they all returned. She told us to eat them right away so they would run away again. XD

That is sooo cute!!! My teacher had our cookies run away but nothing elaborate like that. Ours turned up in the library later that day.
