Hey, i actually had an experience with a glider and school! first of all, let me say that if your glider gets nervous around other people, it's best to leave him at home. my little dude was really cool with others, but he'd always jump to me after a bit and just hang out on my shoulder.

ok, to the story. one day junior year in high school i got permission from my physics teacher to bring him to school. so's i did. i kept him in his pouch most of the day, and he slept through just about every class (like me). i pulled him out and showed him off in physics, and all the chics really dug him ; ). anyways, once spanish class came around, he wasn't at all sleepy (or he had to pee or something), so he began crabbing right before i got to class. my friends told me to put him on my shoulder and walk in... see what the teacher would say. like an idiot, i did just that. figures the first thing one of my jerk friends says as soon as i walk in is, "OHMIGOD!! JOSE, WHAT'S THAT THING ON YOUR SHOULDER!!!???" well, mrs. patel took one look and just totally freaked out! jumped a mile out of her chair and started yelling obscenities with a thick spanish accent! basically, it was the funniest thing i've ever seen in my life.

to make a long story short (well, less long, anyways), i almost gave her a heart attack, causing her to send me to the dean of discipline, which caused him to give me quite a few detentions. if i hadn't had my physics teacher's permission, i would have been totally screwed.

MORAL: it's not completely undo-able, but be smart, and put your glider's mental well-being first. my dude was totally cool with it, and even seemed to have bonded more with me afterwards, but yours may do the total opposite.
