Playing Cap'n Crunch Toss

POTTSTOWN PA – This can’t be what the Pottsgrove School District has in mind when its administrators talk about making education more involving for students.

A substitute teacher apparently filled in during a chemistry class at Pottsgrove High School, Kauffman Road, Pottstown PA, presumably earlier this month (June 2011), and a student who identifies herself as “The Twisted Ultimatum” on YouTube – the web’s most popular video site – was in attendance with a camera.

What she caught on film wasn’t a chemical reaction, but instead several human ones.

While the substitute and other students also watched, two classmates tried to toss pieces of Cap’n Crunch cereal into each others’ mouths across the room. “The Twisted Ultimatum” taped it all, for more than 3 minutes. “This is what happens when we have a sub at pottsgrove high school,” she added as a label, when the video was uploaded two weeks ago (June 10, 2011) to YouTube.

On the video, students laugh and enjoy the show being put on in the classroom. The substitute doesn’t appear to be doing much of anything.

“The Twisted Ultimatum” also filmed members of her class playing something she called “Bottle Ball,” in which students play a kind of baseball using a large plastic bottle as a bat. That’s in two video parts of more than 2 minutes (find it here) and 5 minutes (find it here), respectively. They were labeled as “more fun in chemistry when we have a sub.”
