One of the rules the Board had for shop teachers was you couldn't allow students to make weapons. So when I got several project proposals to make swords, I was forced to make some teacherly decisions.
As in, "hey Billy, I can't approve a sword project, but why don't you call it a letter opener and we'll be good to go."
That worked out till that fateful day I was called away to a football game or something. When you're a new teacher they load you up with all kinds of coaching shit you don't have a clue about. I get back, and am mightily chagrined to be called to the office.
Apparently, the supply teacher had reported that my students were having swordfights with their letter openers.
