A teacher created a special area where the kids could go to fart, and the internet went wild when they got wind of it

Be as high-minded as you like, but if there’s one thing that unites people, it’s laughing at farts.

A teacher in Georgia, USA, gave the internet a hell of a laugh with her idea for creating an area in her classroom where the children (aged six and seven)) can go to fart. She calls it ‘the gas station’.

The fart corner gives students a place to pass gas without leaving class — and helps normalize a very normal bodily function. https://t.co/dVsGGaKJiN

Candy Sydney-Browning has very wisely positioned an air-freshener in the fart space, and she claims the children have accepted it, and are using it rather than just farting where they sit or going to the toilet.

She may change her mind when one of the kids misjudges their gut rumblings.

These responses captured the mood.

I guarantee that if we had this in school, we'd all have scored each fart like old school Olympic diving judges.

As a former elementary school boy myself, I can promise you this won’t normalize anything and nothing will be funnier than when a kid gets up to fart in the corner https://t.co/Cgmx402kRt

Has nobody farted before? It doesn’t stay in a designated spot. https://t.co/2SfxXDExyy

Bro… I taught middle school for 12 years.

If ONE boy gets up to use this stupid “fart corner” he will be known as the “fart corner dude” for the rest of his life.
