I was asking because I've never seen a fume hood in a school. Where I went the most exotic piece of equipment was a bell in a vacuum chamber (to demonstrate that sound doesn't travel in a vacuum) and I think the most spectacular demo was Na in water or burning Mg. The teacher was pretty good but hamstrung by a lack of resources. (We had to make touch powder ourselves
.)
On the other hand my boss went to an exclusive North Shore school and had his own petrographic microscope. I'm not bitter (and know that others didn't even get the chances I had) and wouldn't be him for quids but so much for equal opportunity.
