Dr. Turco concurred. "And he's probably okay, eating an ice cream cone someplace."

I think he was saying that people want to believe that he is eating ice cream somewhere."People want to know the child is going to be okay and that there will be a happy ending, " said Jensen.
Dr. Turco concurred. "And he's probably okay, eating an ice cream cone someplace."
Thank you - that was me.
See, now that doesn't make any sense. Science Fairs are ALWAYS set up in a big room and not in classrooms. First when you put the board on a desk - it takes up way too much room. Second, its easier to centralize the projects for the judges and for the tours - rather than going in and out of classrooms. I think that picture was taken the day before - all the kids brought their projects in - put them on their desks and then were taken "in groups" to the gym to set them up there. I'm probably wrong - but after reading the school's newsletters today - it seems they "got their chit together" when it comes to stuff like this. The gym makes sense. Frees up the classrooms for the kids to have a place to sit. Keeps "visitor" traffic to a minimum - only going in and out of the gym, etc. etc.
Ok - I'll shut up now.......wish we could get some verification of something here!!!
O/T....but in case anyone has been following this "minor", 16 yo CA teen Abby Sunderland who has been attempting to sail solo around the world since January was reported lost at sea last night. She apparently manually activated 2 emergency beacons and now they are searching for her in the Indian Ocean.

Hey swag, I too thought it was odd that the displays were in individual classrooms that would need to be "toured" rather than the gymnasium. I just chalked it up to it being a smaller school in a smaller community. They seem to do a lot of things diferently than the larger city schools.
The photo of Kyron wearing the CSI tee-shirt in front of his display shows his clasroom full to overfowing with his and other displays. I agree, the gymnasium would have afforded more room and it was not the decision I would have made, but who am I to say.
