Teaching the kids to make meth.

OOPS! Time to find another line of work!

Should have went to Hogwarts

...four flaming crucibles in the Upper West Side public school’s third floor chemistry lab instead exploded into a fireball that raged across a countertop...

"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a night.
Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

I remember when my HS chem teacher on the first day put metallic sodium in a beaker of water. (Lights were turned off at the time.) It kind of sat on top of the water and burned a bit but it started making a whistling noise. The noise continued up in pitch until it exploded sending burning pieces of sodium every where!

Fortunately we were all sitting down in our seats. She only had a light burn on the arm from a small piece of it.

I’d love to see that again!

The incredible sight of hundreds of NY lawyers circling in the skies over Beacon High can be seen at this very moment.

WHAT HAPPEN?

Make a man a fire and you warm him for a night.

Light a man on fire and he will be warm the rest of his life.

In 1968 my chemistry professor burned to death in a similar accident caused by a student who ran out of the building leaving the prof to burn.

“Kelp, parents dont like teachers blowing up their kids!”

[Doogle]

“hold ma beer, watch this”

[MissTed]

Horrible story. I hope the kids recover. :(

Reminds me of an incident with Bacardi 151. I was much younger.

[lee martell]

This sounds like an accident, but that teacher will never live this down. She many need to change school districts if not leave the state. I would be concerned if my child was sitting in her chemistry class.

[Bullish]

Our best and brightest obviously don’t go into teaching anymore.

[Timber Rattler]

What was she playing with? Phosphorus?

Similar event happened at a tony private boarding school
in northeast ohio a few years ago.

Large amounts of money will change hands.

My highschool chem teacher, Mr. Heron, loved blowing stuff up. I think He is the reason that I became a Chemical Engineer. He never injured any of us students, but did take out a big chunk of the T-bar ceiling in the chem lab one time.

I consider it a measure of the school’s educational prowess that they have tenth graders who are so ignorant as to not know how to pull the pin on a fire extinguisher...

Also, not guilty
