The Weird Kid In ClassThere was a kid in my class who stood up every day and told everyone he had new shoes. This went on for weeks, and we all thought him nuts. Then, one day, he stood up and told us a long story about why his family were moving to another part of the country, and how excited he was. The next thing we heard was that he'd died in a plane crash.
Let's hear about the weird kid in your class...

My mum's a primary school teacherSo I have many, many stories that I could share. But just in case any b3tans had been considering a career teaching cute little kiddies to read and write, the following should bring you back down to earth. Never mind moronic management, ridiculous hours, thuggish parents and trying to get a class of utter retards to score a Level 2 on their SATs - you're not a proper primary school teacher until you've done a sniff test.
Apparently it's quite common for children who soil themselves to discard their underwear in order to avoid detection. They know they're going to be in a shit load (sorry) of trouble for their lapse of bladder/bowel control and the most obvious solution to the seven-year-old mind involves abandoning the evidence. In this case, abandoning a pair of shit-encrusted Y-fronts in the boys' toilets.
So it's been established that a boy in the school has shat himself, but nobody knows which one. This is where the sniff test comes in. Each teacher gets their class to work on something quietly. Whilst this is going on, the teacher goes round the desks and leans over each child to "check their work", taking a surreptitious sniff as they do so. This goes on until the culprit is found, removed, washed and changed.
Still wanna be a primary school teacher? Don't say I didn't warn you...
