| This is one of
those classic occurrences in life that
just seemed to go wrong even with the
best of intentions. A class
of elementary students started
a class project to make a ceramic
pot with some sort of plant in it
to take home. They wanted to have
a plant that was easy to take care
of, so it was decided to use cactus
plants.
The students were given greenware
pottery in the style of a clown plant
pot. They painted them with glaze
and had them professionally fired
at a class outing so they could see
the process.
It was great fun. The cactus plants
grew nicely in the clown pots, but
it was decided the children would
not be allowed to take them home.
The cactus plants were removed and
a small ivy was grown to replace them.
Then the children were allowed to
take them home.
The
teacher said cactus seemed like a
GOOD idea at the time....... |
