I'm a teacher (third grade) and I promised my class that if they collectively read 100 books before spring break, we could get a pair of class pets.

To my surprise, they actually did it (Judy Moody and Captain Underpants have a lot to answer for, in my opinion), so now I have to ask—rats or guinea pigs? Anyone have experience/thoughts/advice?

Rats are cuter than anyone ever admits.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bWC-BnC7IA

From:

They're as cute as mice, anyway. They're smart too, so I thought we could study them in a science unit.

From:

That's so fun!! You sound like a great teacher.

From:

I try to be. Keeping promises is important to kids.

From:

And you taught them to love books!

From:

Or to force themselves to do something for profit.

Don't do it, man. It's really hard to find replacements with matching markings. And they will die.

From:

I was sort of hoping the kids wouldn't be too observant...maybe if I went with albino ones?

From:

nola_joshlyman

You'd have to. Someone will notice, and it'll be the sweetest kid, and it'll crush you both.

From:

Speaking from experience, huh?

From:

nola_joshlyman

Oh yeah. I understand why so many teachers go goldfish: less attachment, easier to match, you expect the loss.

From:

Not much of a reward, though.

From:

Captain Underpants is a great name and I can't believe it's not my name.

From:

I'm sorry to tell you this, but I think it's trademarked.

From:

What a bummer. (heh, bummer)

From:

nola_eleanor

I will call you Captain Underpants if it makes you happy.

From:

Elspeth. It would make so happy.

From:

nola_eleanor

Yes, sir, Captain Underpants!

From:

It makes me tingly.

From:

nola_eleanor

Gonna make an ASMR channel that's just me calling people different names and titles from books I haven't read.

I'd buy tickets to Hamsterton.

I'd still cry at the end.
