I'm an earth science teacher in central VA. While I don't cover reptiles in my curriculum, I would still like to be able to have reptiles in the classroom to get the students comfortable with them. (Exposure is education, in my experience.)

Despite the incredible amount of material I've given him, the experience I have, etc., my principal will only allow me to bring in some small lizards. That's IT. The county rules do say that the Principal is the final say, so I really have no recourse.

Any other teachers out there that have had this experience? What did you do?
