Those are utterly ridiculous reasons for not having an analemmatic sundial at school. Do these schools have no control or supervision over their students? It is great to get students outside to learn. Many people learn better by hands-on-learning. I had planned to make an analemmatic sundial on my school bus lot this year but it will have to wait until next fall. Our principle and teachers are excited to have it because it will be used for several different lesson by the entire elementary school. My environmental club made small sundials and learned the basics, next year will be the human sundial project. Roger Bailey and Mac Oglesby, I have not forgotten you and still all everything you gave me to help make the sundial at school. It will happen. I would think the ones banning the sundials should be more worried about the weapons, drugs, bullying, stealing, and anti-social behavior of their students instead being out in the sun too long or fighting over the sundial.

Dear Reinhold, You write... Create a wall of shame with lots of funny comments... Your story is full of drama. There is ood news... ...Herr Kriegler sei der beste Lehrer an der Schule... Then the bad news... ...da hatte dieser Satz die Wirkung eines Stichs in ein Wespennest. Some people suffer a kind of allergic reaction hen they see an Analemmatic Sundial. This eaction sometimes results in serious brain amage. There must be an evolutionary explanation? Perhaps, when seeing a user standing on an nalemmatic sundial looking up and down at is own shadow, these people are reminded f a Cobra about to attack? This brings on a desire to destroy the nake and its environment.
