SCHOOL CUSTOM

AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, OR AT CHRISTMAS, THE
STUDENTS ALL BRING CANS OF FOOD TO SCHOOL. IN THE
MIDDLE OF A LESSON, AT A DESIGNATED TIME, WHILE
THE TEACHER IS STANDING AT THE FRONT OF THE ROOM,
EVERYONE ROLLS THEIR CANS DOWN THE AISLES AT THE
TEACHER. THE TEACHER GETS TO KEEP ALL THE CANS.
