Astonishment? Hmm.. let's see if I were a kid in school, and somebody
told me I could wear this little tag and NOT get called on or have to
answer questions for the day, I wonder what I'd do.

I'm surprised there was ONLY 300 -- I guess the others probably
couldn't read and/or weren't paying attention/listening.
