Just give the kid a hall pass, already

You know, I had a few teachers who were pretty strict, but none of them ever did anything like this:
A teacher was put on paid leave Tuesday while officials investigate why a student urinated in a lunch box during her class.

The Meadowbrook Middle School student urinated in a lunch box while hiding behind a classroom bookcase, Orange County school officials said Tuesday.

According to statements by other students in the class, school officials think that when the boy asked to go the restroom on Thursday, teacher Jameeka Chambers told him to hold it or use her lunch box.
I'm gonna go ahead and guess that wasn't a treasured lunch box from her childhood that she paid big bucks for on eBay. At least I hope not.
The boy took the lunch box, hid behind a bookcase, urinated in it and returned it to her, Frank Kruppenbacher, attorney for the Orange County School Board, told the Orlando Sentinel.

"I think we clearly know she didn't tell him, 'Go pee in this box,' in the sense of going to go do that," Kruppenbacher said. "That's beyond our comprehension."
Yeah, it sounds more like a dare that she didn't really expect him to accept.
This is a first-year teaching job for Chambers, who teaches sixth-grade language arts.
Something tells me she might not be back for a second year.
