magnetic letters, while others fought over whose turn it was to play
video games.

In the corner of the room were several teachers who were apparently
trying to color each other with magic markers! Sarah spotted an old

teacher who was sulking because another teacher stepped on his
drawing.

“Mr. Nussbaum?” Sarah called out in bewilderment.
