A sixth grader sprayed nonpoisonous dog repellent on a cookie intended for her teacher and has been expelled, officials say.

Crikees....the worst I and my friends did was dump all our dirty jock straps on Miss Ruffolo's desk before she got to the classroom. (It was 8th grade English, and she made us read "Return of the Native" by Thomas Hardy...She was lucky we didn't commit mass suicide right there in the classroom...)

What is it about 8th grade? I was sent home for the last month, because earlier in the year, I had written the teachers name, along with a girls name by the picture of a jackass in the dictionary. She was not amused, since the truth hurt.

My Uncle Otto, in an earlier era, (though still 8th grade) was given the trash to take out and burn, (pre epa), He piled it up against the boys outhouse, then stood out on the road yelling, "let er burn." The teacher was trying to form a bucket brigade from an old hand pump.

The old two room school is now a community center. We have our family reunions there. The young kids all run up and ask Uncle Otto, now in his 80s, "please, show us where the outhouse was, the one you burned."
