BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

Houston teachers are forced to use benches to get elementary school students to safety after Tropical Storm Imelda flooded the city

Teachers at a Houston school flooded by Tropical Storm Imelda had to get creative to ensure their kids managed to traverse the halls and get to safety.

After nearly four feet of rain fell onto the beleaguered city, Durham Elementary School staff turned benches into elevated walkways to allow the children to walk without getting wet. The benches literally acted as a bridge over the troubled waters, enabling the students to reach the cafeteria for lunch and escaping the ankle-deep puddles.

Indeed, one teacher filming the bizarre improvised scene can be heard to say, 'No one is going to believe this!'

See, teachers can be creative. All they need is the freedom to innovate.
