Bet that made for an interesting show & tell

:shock:

How child's show-and-tell exhibit led to school evacuation and bomb squad call-out
Pupil made bigger-than-expected impact by taking artillery shell into class
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho ... 47180.html
A primary school was evacuated after a pupil took an artillery shell to show-and-tell.

It is believed a year five pupil at St Margaret's Church of England Primary School in the village of Bowers Gifford, Essex, took the 20cm (8-inch) artillery shell into class yesterday.

An email was sent to parents asking them to collect their children after the alert at about 1.30pm.

The device was taken to a nearby field while 250 pupils gathered at a safe distance.

Army bomb disposal teams were called and decided the device posed no danger.

A spokesman for St Margaret's Church of England School said: "We take the safety and wellbeing of all students extremely seriously.

"We took the precaution of calling police community support officers and then followed their expert advice."

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.
