Our principal sent the picture and the text, "So, what do you have in your parking lot?" to some of the principals in a nearby city. One of them replied, "Nothing but drug dealers."
I think there are a lot of different ways a principal could have responded to students leaving horses in the parking lot, and I respect him for the way he handled the situation. He didn't make a big deal out of it. He asked them why they rode the horses to school, and they told him they wanted to save gas money. The next time I drive by the high school, I'll be checking the parking lot for horses.
The story made me think about how I deal with the unexpected in my own life. When I can laugh at a problem, it makes everything easier and more enjoyable.
That's scary and sad :o(
ReplyDeleteNiki, I think you read my post before I finished it. I guess I shouldn't post to check the picture until I'm done writing it.
ReplyDeleteWhat the other principal said is scary and sad. I'm glad we don't live in Vegas.
haha I do that as well. My spacing always seems to go wonky!
ReplyDeleteYeah, why does the spacing go wonky! I didn’t see it here, but it happens to be all the time too.
ReplyDeleteHow cool to see a bunch of horses in the parking lot and what a great way to handle it.
LOL! How I love small towns. Our parking lot is usually full of big trucks and camo jackets. Not animals... unless they're dead in the bed of the camo-guys' trucks.
ReplyDeleteI need to be so much better about dealing with the unexpected. I usually freak out, and then no one's happy. Great reminder!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely hilarious! Those students are very creative. :)
ReplyDeleteGotta love Logandale:) (Or hate it, I guess, since I'm an honorary Bulldog now.)
ReplyDeleteHow creative of them to save gas money. Yes, he handled it well. I would hope to be that gracious.
ReplyDeleteHey, as long as they clean up after the horses and they are tied up correctly, I see no problem. Good for the principal.
ReplyDeleteA local high school here has ride-your-tractor to school day. The parking lot is full of tractors. I like the horses idea, better, though even if there is more poo.
