00:00 - 00:05I’m administering the Ohio Math AIR Test and Libster comes running by
00:05 - 00:07The fire alarm goes off and everyone looks at me
00:07 - 00:10I was just as surprised as everyone in the room.
00:11 - 00:16We get everyone out and start looking for answers to what’s happening
00:17 - 00:21Turns out, Libster pulled the fire alarm
00:21 - 00:24Libster
00:29 - 00:31Libster
00:31 - 00:34He "accidentally" pulled the alarm coming in from class
00:38 - 00:40Libster
00:41 - 00:47Everyone at Edison is now standing outside in disbelief at what just happened
00:47 - 00:50All eyes move to Joe and he just stands there
00:50 - 00:56He looks scared and starts sweating like he stole something
00:58 - 00:59Libster
00:59 - 01:01Pulled the alarm on the day of state testing
01:04 - 01:06You should have seen everyone’s face
01:06 - 01:08Standing outside in disbelief
01:13 - 01:14Little Joe
01:14 - 01:16When it all settled down
01:16 - 01:20Joe was trying to justify the situation
01:21 - 01:27I think he got sick of students laughing at him for what he did
01:35 - 01:36So he came up with this
01:36 - 01:39well rehearsed speech about the situation
01:41 - 01:44“I had a guest speaker once in health class tell the kids the importance”
01:44 - 01:47“Of moving around to help with brain function”
01:47 - 01:49“So I gave the kids a brain break”
01:50 - 01:53“The math department should be thanking me”
01:54 - 01:56Only he can think that way
01:56 - 01:58We should be thanking him
01:58 - 02:02for screwing up testing and putting everyone in a panic
02:05 - 02:07Sometimes I just don’t know about him
02:10 - 02:11The video of him
02:11 - 02:13after the alarm went off is classic
02:15 - 02:17He is sprinting down the art hallway
02:17 - 02:20yelling for everyone to go back to class because it was an accident
02:21 - 02:28He goes outside and starts waving his arms around frantically, cause he knows that everyone will never let him forget this moment.
02:29 - 02:30Did you guys let him have it
02:30 - 02:32Of course we did
02:36 - 02:39We sent him over 300 text messages over the next few days
02:40 - 02:42Everyone got into the act of reminding him what he did
02:50 - 02:55Students would walk down the hallway, look at him and just shake their head
02:56 - 02:58How do we stop him from doing this again?
02:58 - 03:04Someone brought up the idea of putting covers on all of the alarms in the building
03:04 - 03:09Or even just the ones that he has to walk by daily
03:09 - 03:11We are still looking into other plans
03:16 - 03:20like raising them higher on the wall
03:23 - 03:26I'm sure we'll come up with something
03:31 - 03:36But there probably is no way to Libster-proof Edison Middle School
