Oh not me! I am not suttle about those things. I tell them before
they start that they are to produce objects with only one hole in
them, and that i am smart. I don't give any other comments on the
pot subject until i see one. Before it is even dry i pick it up walk
over to the child and smash it on their desk. Then I make them
start over if there is time or if there is no time I make them out the
clay back into the clay trash can to rewet and give them a big fat
"0" in the grade book. When they start to argue I just tell them i
won't talk about it without the presence of the principal and their
mommy. They shut up and take the 0.
 I know that's mean but I don't want them to waste my expensive
clay either.
