Hello, I was asked to give my kiddo's preschool some advice on whether they should adopt this little guy, and they sent me this photo. Can anyone ID? They said it was a "tortoise" but I couldn't tell from the photo. Pretty sure I would advise a preschool is not a great situation for any species, but wanted to know what they had, to start with....Thanks!!

Tortoises should not live in preschools. The animal suffers and it's carers don't get the chance to really learn its care.
