#19: That’s Quite a Pickle
It’s no secret how much teenagers are connected to their cell phones. Unfortunately, this can be a massive headache for teachers who can’t get their students’ attention. How in the love of academics can you compete with teens’ excitement in texting their friends? This teacher had to think outside the box (or the jar, in this case).
As tempting as it may be for a student to whip out their phone to text a friend, they might not risk it just for the thought of seeing your precious link to the outside world forever destroyed in a jar of pickle juice. You know, back in our day, we would pass handwritten notes to our friends – at least pickle juice was no threat for us!
