I've been asking for your animals on campus stories, and so far you have not disappointed.
Cheryl writes, I taught at a rural K-12 school and a student brought the science teacher some eggs he had found.
The teacher, who was a stereotypical absent professor type, put the eggs under the chemical hood and forgot all about them.
That is, until they hatched, not into chickens, but into several bull snakes, which slithered down the hall, creating chaos.
So if you have had an experience like that, let me know if you have photos or video, even better.
But we're going to continue featuring animals on campus just for fun here on the EduLeadership show.
