Ack, I am having major nostalgia for those little boxes of stars that teachers used to have in their drawers. I vividly remember gold, silver, red, green and blue metallic types The box was thin, square, white and red, with a star stuck in the center on the top. Anyone else remember these things? Do they still sell them?
I think all adult education would be better with little stars. If only they tasted better…
Yeah they still have those. ;-) Try Office Max, or something.
Once you find them, take a picture cause I have no clue about what you are talking about.
I was always partial to the scratch and sniff stickers on homework assignments.

we never had those…guess you went to a FANCY school! :P
Office Max online had none, Staples had sheets of adhesive ones…but I can’t find those little boxes…
You should be able to get those in any teaching supply store.
Scholar’s Choice comes to mind as the largest chain of teaching supply stores in Ontario. Apparently there’s one in North York at Yonge and Cummer.
How on earth do I know the name of a teaching supply store? I come from a family of teachers — I’m the black sheep.
– awh
I remember these stars… and I remember mocking them in young adulthood, “wanna gold star for that?”
I’ve seen teacher stickers at Staples, though I can’t say for sure if they had the stars. :P
They’re too important to have disappeared from the face of the earth!
would be better than what he’s done so far for education! :)
Now to find time to trek up that way…
Exactly why I want a box — so I can slap them on the forehead of my friends when they do something GOOD! :P
Like, “Hello, My name is ______, a teacher?” Or something else?
