School was classic tonight! We were in the middle of the lesson when all of a sudden my students jumped to their feet and ran to the back of the room screaming. Grown men and women. Well I figured it must have been pretty bad to cause such a commotion, so I joined my students at the back of the room. “What is it?” I demanded in trepidation. My students fearfully pointed to the front desk, and, brave leader that I am, I walked over to it.
Based on the pitch and frequency of the screams, I was expecting to find a tarantula or poisonous snake.

It was a gecko. A gecko! Grown men standing on their chairs shrieking like little girls.
Seriously.
I scooped it up in my hands and set it free outside. “Honestly guys. Based on your screaming I thought it was something really scary, like a spider or something.”
I used a red board marker that night, and by the end of the lesson we were left with a pink board in place of a white board. I don't think the resident teacher will be too impressed.
Don't worry, I stayed behind to clean it.
