Ramblin’ Educat came up with a new way to keep her students engaged -- turning handouts into would-be paper airplanes, with kids answering one question, folding the paper and launching it in the general direction of a classmate, who’d unfold it, answer the next question, and so on. Of course, the best-laid plans...

You just can't ever pick what part of a lesson will fail, do you?
You'd have picked the throwing of airplanes, no?
No.
We can't fold airplanes. They asked if they could just throw the paper.
