We just found out that there are small rats in the classroom at my field placement. It's pretty disgusting. The exterminator came one day and put down a bunch of glue traps. The next day, there were large dropping and blood on one of the traps. Needless to say, the janitor called the exterminator back.

They think they know where the rats are coming in from--my hope and prayer is that they can stop them.

I also wonder about the safety of the kids in the school because rats carry diseases. Currently, they are convinced that the rats are only in our classroom...but I am not so sure.

Let's just hope that we catch the rats and that they don't wander to any other part of the building.

Question: What would you if you found out that there were small rats in your child's school? I am interested to hear your thoughts.

Good luck on finals.
