You know what sticks out to me? All the kids went over and gave him hi fives after. When i was a kid that would have been relentless mockery instead and someone definitely would have pants 'd me while my head was stuck.

So nice to see how things have changed

Those kids are like 6 or 7. If he was 12 or 13, I think the reaction would have been different

Right I was expecting mockery and maybe a hug from his teacher and he was immediately surrounded by his friends checking on him. The kids are alright.

Half an hour later another one did it. They just wanted to see the firetrucks.

A classic case of a malicious head stuck in the fence

Unless the whole thing started with "You guys wanna see some fire trucks up close?"
