Texas Teacher Gives Birth in Class "An elementary teacher gave students in her early childhood development class an unexpected lesson when she gave birth in her classroom. Rhonda Schafer was able to get her students, ages 3 and 4, out of the Bear Creek Elementary School classroom on Monday and then called for the school nurse. The nurse arrived just in time to help Schafer as she gave birth behind her desk about 2:30 p.m., about five minutes after the first sign of labor."
