Teacher dispatches raccoon with nail gun

Anyone who reads the article should be put at ease, it was no big deal. The parent brought a live raccoon in, obviously knowing that the teacher would have to dispatch it. It didn't happen in front of the students, no dangerous weapon was involved, and it was part of an agricultural assignment. The teacher is popular with the students, they enjoy his class, so what's all the fuss?

Yeah, agree, but i'm a bit surprised that high school students need to know how to skin animals, even in Arkansas. Do they get banjo lessons as well?

I would have to assume that the purpose of the lesson is to teach about anatomy, not how to skin a raccoon... but it is Arkansas after all so who knows?

... Lievsay said no students witnessed the raccoon's death...

If you dry a male raccoon’s member it makes a neat keychain fob or you can sharpen it & make a toothpick. If you get a couple small ones you can make your lady a pair of earrings. Betcha didn't know that.

What would John Boy Walton have done?

Well, if they have "skinning squirrels" on their State Standards, then you have to wonder...

Maybe that's what an unintelligent person would have done like you, but an intelligent resourceful person would have taught something else by using their initiative. If he is not capable of improvising what would he have done if no animal had been delivered at all?
