    I remember how terrible they were when Imwas teaching. Bet there are many many still in the same terrible condition.
    I always held it until I could get to the teacher’s lounge, And now I have freequent right UT Is I feel from holding it so much. But when you are teaching in a trailer and can’t leave 5th or 6th graders alone, youHOLD IT.
