[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 468756, member: 1991"] I'd take the geode in for him, then take it home again. that way it stays in your custody and won't get confiscated. difficult child 1 had a favourite stick. It was actually a fragment of Xanthorrea stem (grass tree - a moderately common plant here) and he loved it because it was smooth and straight. He took it to school and the teacher threw it away into the garden. difficult child 1 came home upset, we went down to the school and the teacher showed us where she had thrown it, said she hadn't realised it was a special stick he'd brought for show and tell, but sticks are not permitted inside. At least we got the stick back. It's still around somewhere... difficult child 3's pockets were always loaded with pebbles, sticks, bottle caps, interesting broken bits of glass and coloured plastic; I keep an ice cream container in the laundry and empty out pockets into this 2 litre tub. Sticks and stones that are not specific scientific specimens get put in the garden. Same with shells. Marg [/QUOTE]
