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?

I'm only on my fifth year, so I can only imagine. If you ever want to grad coffee or something and vent, let me know.

I might just do that. Don't want to crush your spirit, though.

I'll just reassure myself it's different in elementary and stress eat for a while.

That was my coping mechanism in my ninth year and it was not pretty.

Pardon my language, but: yikes.

Woah, buddy. Calm down.

Sorry, should've tagged it NSFW.

That's okay, I can handle it. I'm tough.
