: Thank you for your opinion! I did not ask for people who are trying to go against what I asked, I asked for stories! Nobody ever did this to the woman who told about the glider coming to work! Jease! I'm only 13. Give me a break.

Jessica,

I'll tell you a story. I have brought my glider to school. I'm a college senior, in a class full of people at least
22 or above. Well, I can tell you that all of these people, even some I don't talk to normally, came
up to me wanting to see my boy. He did get stressed out, and just wanted to be left alone, but how do you tell people not
to crowd around the cute animal? Well, it's hard. So, I only brought him to class because I took him to the vet right after.
Otherwise, I don't take him to class unless I need to leave directly after and am taking him with me. So, instead of giving you
advise, I'll end with a moral to this story. Gliders are sensitive creatures as we all know, and no one (of any age) can resist wanting
to look,touch, or hold them. OK I have to give pseudo advise; If grown adults ooh and ahh and coo around a glider, how are your young
friends going to act? I remember being thirteen with something cool. Please just think long and hard about taking your pet to school.
Don't take offense to this, because I'm just trying to help. But, since I'm older than you, I have to put in my opinion. It just happens
to us old folk:)
