I have to read the MSDS sheets and a danger report prepared by the lab tech then sign off for each bloody experiment we do in class. Lets see, 2 x year 12 chem classes, 2 x year 11 chem classes then there's years 8 - 10 AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH. The poor tech is pulling her hair out. She has spent most of the year preparing the reports
. We were using toluene, cyclohexene and cyclohexane as well as bromine water today (fresh and fumming, I tell the kids it will kill thier libido, they don't want to go near it) . This was the first organics lab with my 11's. Even though most work was done in the fume hood there was a lot of broken glassware and several stoned kids
. Some of my brightest and most responsible students regressed to the kindy sandpit
