I'm starting at a new school in September (I'm ateacher) and would really like to get a pet for my new classroom, but Idon't know what to get.
I don't want to get a bun as I wouldn't be able to give it the sameamount of attention as the boys get at home (sunday morning cuddles inbed etc) but am unsure what to get.
Also, I can get a pupil to take it home in the holidays to care for itbut it would probably be in school from around 5pm on fri to 7.30am onmonday on it's own. Is this too cruel? it would get lots of attentionin the week.Does anyone have any suggestions, I would likesomething that is active in the day that the children can watch/playwith and something small so that it can get most of its exercise in abig cage rather than running around a science lab!!!!!
ps I'm a secondary school teacher so the children are old enough to handle animals properly!
Any suggestions?
