No more seesaws?

As a physics teacher, I find that appalling!

Best way in the world to explain first class levers!

Oh, I agree. Also, you can teach your playmates about gravity and acceleration if you suddenly jump off. It's no fair, though, unless you scream, "32 ft/sec/sec" as you jump!

And the longer the lever, the better it works. ;-)
