Piglets, hairpieces and jello shots: Teachers reveal the weirdest things kids have taken to school
Parents and teachers know kids will say the darndest things. They will also do some pretty crazy things.
So when a teacher asked her colleagues to reveal the most 'unhinged' items their students had brought to school, it was sure to elicit plenty of funny responses.
A teacher who goes by the name of Diary of Ms Shay on TikTok asked viewers, "Teachers – what's the most unhinged thing a student brought to school?"
"Not a TV remote. I'm talking grandma's dentures. Give me something jaw-dropping," she clarified.

And they didn't disappoint, with piglets, a baby goat and a cicada among the animals haul, as well as alcoholic beverages, a wig and even their father's ashes.
The post by the special education teacher, from the US state of North Carolina, has so far been viewed more than 1.2 million times and drawn 9000 responses so far. And the answers do not disappoint.
Animals were a popular contraband smuggled into school.
"High school. It's homecoming. We're having an indoor movie night," wrote one.

"I see a kid sneaking around. I can tell he has something in his jacket. I assume booze. I get a dean to track him down. Not booze. It was three baby pigs. He was smuggling piglets."
"We found a cicada on the floor of the classroom. Kids were screaming and crying," another said.
"My students all blamed another girl in my class, and she pulls a cicada out... and goes 'That's not my cicada, this is my cicada'."
"My student brought me a baby goat to bottle feed because its mum rejected it. I taught all day with a baby goat in my arms," wrote another.
"A kitten he found on his walk to school," said another.
"His parents found it hilarious and they adopted the cat!"
Alcoholic beverages also made it onto school campuses, with a drink known as 'Twisted Tea' among the haul.
"Once confiscated a twisted tea from a 4th grader. Kid packed his own lunch and asked mum if he could bring tea," a teacher explained.
Another revealed a student brought "weeks-old Jello shots from Mardi Gras" while another handed out suspicious brownies to fellow students.
Some kids did it to mess with the parents, with one teacher revealing a student brought his WiFi router because "he was mad at his mum and knew she needed it for work".

Teachers also reported receiving some interesting Christmas gifts, including a bottle of wine, half-used bottles of body wash and shampoo and even "grandma's wig", which they clarified was "the good one".
Speaking of hair, another student arrived at school with his mother's hairpiece.
"[He] got off the bus wearing it and we couldn't stop laughing. Called mum and she came storming in and grabbed it."
There were also a few X-rated items, such as a copy of the erotic novel, Fifty Shades of Grey "for the book swap" and Kama Sutra – a book of sexual positions, which they asked the teacher read to the class.

But while the majority of answers were funny, some were heartbreaking.
"A student brought their dad's ashes on Dress Like a Dad Day," revealed one teacher.
