People Can't Contain Themselves When This Dad Live-Tweeted About His Trip to the Museum with 60 School Kids

What started as a good deed turned into a nonstop parade of bus drama, toilet emergencies, travel sickness, and the kind of group energy only school kids can create. By the time the trip was over, Simon had more than 100 tweets worth of material and a very different view of what teachers deal with.
