It’s a fair bet that most camping trips you spent as a child were spent in poorly constructed tents, battling the elements and eating awful food. So, spare a thought though for the boys of a junior school in Idaho who were made to play strip poker with their gym teacher.
Rather than teaching the kids the basics and showing them how to enjoy the game, Andy Armstrong, of Coeur D’Alene, forced the boys to take off items of clothing every time they lost a hand.
The incident occurred between April 24-28 when the school took a trip to Camp Mivoden on Hayden Lake. Students were told not to tell anyone what had happened.
Thankfully, one of them piped up, and Armstrong has now been removed from his position at the school by the board of governors. There is no news of criminal proceedings, but it’s a fair bet that these kids won’t take kindly to poker or camping in later life.
