**Warning: some may see this as not politically correct. I mean no harm by it.**
I want one of these for my classroom; a bigger one, of course. In case you don't recognize it, this is a pneumatic tube at the bank. You put your deposit into it, then it gets sucked up and into the bank. My thought is that I could have one with a long arm that is operated by a series of buttons on my desk. When a student is being disruptive or uncooperative to the point that none of my strategies work to alleviate the problem, I would push a button to position the tube over the student, then push another button to suck the student up into the tube and deposit him/her in the appropriate office (along the lines of Augustus Gloop in Willie Wonka)! Just think of the time this would save - no phone call to the office and no waiting for someone to get there to escort the student!
