Home, Sweet Home – Making Our House Into a Home

My 3rd period class eats 2nd lunch which means that we have 45 minutes of class, 30 minutes of lunch, and then the remaining 45 minutes of class.  Oftentimes, students think they have enough time to leave during lunch, go to a local fast food place, pick up lunch and return to class without being late.  Generally, they have more than enough time.  I know they skip, but unless you’re willing to track them down and catch them in the act then they don’t get caught. 

There’s one student in particular who has made some sly comments about his lunches and has even said that he’s been doing it for 4 years but has never gotten caught.  Until yesterday.

 After his class left for the day, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor.  I picked it up and the receipt had the restaurant name at the top.  As I continued to look, I noticed the time 12:48pm (during 2nd lunch) and the date Oct 16 (a school day).  When I got to the bottom of the receipt, I started to laugh because I realized that this student had used his debit card to pay for his meal and the receipt still had his name on it.

Needless to say, he got busted.  Maybe next time he won’t brag about not getting caught.
