This is cool

Lucky students get free T's, wish my school did this http://m.localnews8.com/news/tarantula-appreciation-week-at-madison-junior-high/38626020 . I don't agree with all the handling

I think that's great, a brilliant way of encouraging kids to overcome their fears.

Yeah thats pretty cool. As long as they r tell the kids the difference between a "handleable" one and like an old world or something. lol There was something else i didnt get. they told the reporter that they help keep hobo spiders out of the house?....what?

Here here @Enn49 . I did creepy crawly roadshows many years back at local schools.
Results:
Kids....interested and willing to learn.
Adults (teachers who should know better) ....already made their minds up to be scared!

Must admit, not seen many spiders in my house much. But we have had really wet and mild weather in uk so probably didn't need to venture in doors much. I had an orb spider set up home across my window. Gave it crickets. What a fat little thing that ended up being. Kids would come and watch me feed it, they were all interested in what it did. I think a bird took it eventually though

I used to take my snakes to my grandson's birthday parties and often found that the kids were not scared at all but their mums were. Quite often the mums would watch the kids handling the snakes without fear and their curiosity would win over and eventually they'd come over and ask to hold one. I had one lady that was terrified at first, she watched the kids from a distance but gradually got closer. She eventually asked if she could hold one, I gave her a Royal Python to nurse, by the end of that afternoon she had completely fallen in love with my 6' female boa. The joke was that her partner had always wanted a boa and she'd refused to let him, now she had to go home and admit to holding the snake as all her friends had taken photos of her to show him.

Interesting. That school is 3 hours from here. Lots more people up here keeping these critters than I imagined.
