Sometimes, you just got to hand it to the kids. This is one of those times. A group of 29 students in New Jersey, upset over shortened lunch periods, decided to pay for the their lunch in pennies ... 200 of them ... for a total of 5800 pennies for the 29 lunches. The superintendent initially decided to punish them, but has since changed his mind. On this one, the students just got the better of him, but in a cute and acceptable way.

That's why I love this job working with schools and students. It is something new everyday. Students will always find new ways the push the envelope, sometimes they will win, sometimes they will lose, but it is always interesting.

And, sorry, I can't help myself but to post the Seinfeld episode this reminds me of, enjoy:
