Do it anyway. After hours extra credit :D

I like the way you think. Because it certainly can't be done (legally) in the classroom.

Here's an example. Our physics curriculum handbook (actually it's a big binder), sets out in detail what I must teach every day. No variations permitted! There are no lessons on torque. So I must not teach it! But torque is a key concept in physics.

So I sneak it in wherever I can. Fortunately, most supervisors who observe me know nothing about physics. So I haven't been accused (yet) of "infidelity to the curriculum".

Yes, that's the term they actually use. And it's a firing offense. Crazy.

“...There are no lessons on torque....”

What!!??!! Unreal...

Like I said, after hours extra credit, tie it in with a real world example such as lug nuts on a tire or something like that....

Good on you for sneaking it in!
