IN THE CLASS BEFORE TIME
Teachers roamed outside of the classroom, grazing on grass and waiting for the meteor to strike. They spent their time in hunter-gatherer societies, scavenging for food and running away from their natural predator – the dinosaur. For MHS’ sake, let’s hope they make it out alive.
