Most kids, when they get thrown out of school, it’s with paperwork. Other times it can be somewhat literal, with the cops coming and dragging the kid out. But Eloise, well, she kind of set her self up for it. when the woodshop teacher asked the class to build birdhouses, she built a fully functional trebuchet, siege engine. Well, the birds can nest in the basket, but I wouldn’t recommend it, she said. Two of her classmates were horsing around and sure enough one ended up splattered across the basketball courts.. the principal was rather impressed, but the authorities weren’t.
