Did You Ever Hear The One About A Banana

Since I live in a Columbus, Ohio suburb I keep my eyes open for stories from the area that catch my eye.

It seems there's a middle school, Starling Middle School, to be exact on the south end of town that employs an art teacher who is deathly allergic to bananas. Students, faculty and visitors are greeted with a sign as they enter her classroom to keep all banana products out of this room.

Kids, being kids, decided to 'prank' the instructor. Eight or so of them got banana juice on their hands and spread it on the classroom door knob. Said instructor grabbed the door and had an immediate reaction. One epipen was administered but to no avail. Her throat began to close so another epipen was injected. Thankfully the teacher recovered.

According to the news the students could be charged with attempted murder.

One of the parents was interviewed(don't know if he/she was a parent of one of the kids)and said she realized teachers have a tough time. Now, I don't know what this has to do with anything but the parent then went on to state that some of the kids think the teachers don't like them. I'd say after this episode it might be 100% true.
