Of course I do. DUH!

Lt. Pike is a chem teacher now?

Menopause turns women into crazy biatches.

Yes.

New Bukake-scented Pledge!

Fail them.

Yes, and fail them too.

What, no pepper spray?

While many will find fault in the teachers actions I would suggest she reached the pinnacle of perfection in the teaching profession: She demonstrated the importance of safety glasses using a real-life situation that will never be forgotton by any student in attendance.

Comet's always smelled like that.

What part of "put your safety glasses on" did you miss? Do as you are told or suffer the consequences. It's a science lab, and if something goes wrong and you neglected the safety regiment, you could have a permanent disfigurement. We don't tell you this stuff for our benefit.... Idiot kids. That's what you get. Parents: teach our kids to follow directions, and then they won't get sprayed with lysol.

The importance of safety goggles was reinforced for me when doing a simple deposition experiment in chem class. We had mothballs in solution that we were evaporating with a bunsen burner and depositing on a watch glass with ice. The watch glass was Pyrex but when I flamed the sides to re-evaporate some stuff off the sides of the beaker and hit the watch glass it cracked which sent ice into boiling hot water and shattered the beaker. What should have been about the safest experiment you can run in a chem101 class turned into something that could have blinded someone. After that the TA never had a problem with anyone in that section wearing their goggles.

She should have kept them from finishing the assignment and then failed them. Chemicals are not to be fooled around with. I almost lost an eye while cleaning with a caustic substance. If the label says, "Wear safety goggles", people, please use them!

Do you see, Larry?!

That's why you *never* remove your safety goggles.

Lysol? what a douche.

video man: Ugh. I hated having to wear safety goggles in high school. They would steam up, and I couldn't see shiat. At least in college I can drill ventilation holes into the top of my own pair.

Much safer to just pay the extra buck or two for the ones with the vents built in...

You'd think a spray bottle filled with water would be enough.

It's enough to get the damned cat off the table.

At my high school the honors chemistry class was notorious for not wearing the protective equipment required of them. The teacher set up an experiment with a harmless chemical that splashed easily, instructed as usual to wear gloves, safety glasses, covered shoes and even the gowns provided and as usual he was ignored. At the end of the experiment everyone in the class was covered in little gray freckles that did not go away for 7+ days... harmless but a life lesson... listen when someone tells you to protect yourself from a chemical.

There are easier life lessons.

Like, do you get a real job, or vote for Obama and hope for "free" money? Lately, more people are getting "free" money that I pay for.

D. Spray bottle full of your piss.

C) sounds bad, but you get the point across. I never wore a seat belt until I smacked my head on a dashboard. That'll learn ya.

My neglect of putting a pipette from a strong acid beaker into the equally unlabeled strong base beaker and the resulting splashing and text books being ruined, encouraged many to wear safety gear. Of course this was a biology lab, so it wasn't nearly as up on the wear your gear talk as the chem labs, and apparently not on the label your beakers or pipette rules.

Well better than a stick in the eye.

/Wimpass kid and his dopey dad, for not pressing charges for the attack.
//Nurse should get a hero badge for sending the kid to the hospital via ambulance, so there IS a record of the assault for the police and guvment,(plus insurance, should the kid's eyes react badly to the chemical).

My middle school woodshop teacher once started a lesson by giving a safety demonstration that started with "Don't ever do this...". Anyway, a drill bit ended up in a kid's forehead. Hilarity and lawsuits followed.

Teacher kept his job. He's still drunk at work as far as I know.

Or do you D) kick them in the box and shove them

The 47-year-old science and math teacher resigned last Thursday, after admitting that she sprayed two students with Lysol when they refused to keep their safety goggles during a science lab, according to police reports.

I hope she updated her resume 'cause there not many places that would employ a 47-yr crazy b*tch.

D) Methlab

The person who wrote that is named Heather Leszczewicz.

LoL.

Best one I could find.

CSB: My highschool chemistry teacher managed to set my arm on fire after he screwed up a sodium metal demonstration and it exploded. Then again, he was a Young-Earth Creationist, rather than a scientist... The dumb asshole's explanation for the explosion was "God did it."

/Nobody sued and he kept his job - amazingly.
//He's in medical school now, and he's still a Young-Earth Creationist.

Dammit.

Yep. This would've been how I'd have approached the problem. That or just sending them out of the lab area after one warning and letting them flunk that lab.

Personal horror stories help, too. I know I got a lot more tolerant of obnoxious laser goggles after my advisor went spontaneously blind in one eye for a day. Turns out he never wore his goggles in grad school - until he took a hit almost directly to his optic nerve in that eye. Could've easily been instant total loss of vision, and it was still at high risk of detachment. Luckily it didn't detach that day, just reminded him it could. I took eye safety a lot more seriously after that.

Whatever man, Lysol is barely toxic to humans. Farking puss kids these days.

Tergiversada: Chemicals are not to be fooled around with.

So you wear goggles in the shower? Never know when some dihydrogen monoxide contamination might get into your pipes.

I know what you mean, but please be a little more specific than "chemicals".

I can't believe someone here defended the teacher, saying kids should learn to follow directions. Following directions is terrible advice. (Source: German empire in World War II and the Milgram Experiment)

And the logic of teaching a lesson this way is like cutting someone's breaks if they refuse to wear a seat belt. The students could have very likely been completely safe not wearing the goggles, and the teacher did to them the exact thing she was allegedly trying to protect them from. Lysol's probably more caustic than whatever they were working with to begin with.

And those goggles are a racket, just like the class rings, and 2 TI calculators we had to buy in high school (one year it's the TI-83, the next we needed a TI-83 plus or something--single purpose devices that cost a fortune). You know what wasn't safe? The math teacher passing around a knife she had us use to carve our initials into our calculators in case they were stolen (like one kid was going to steal another's when we were all forced to have one). We were only allowed to buy goggles from 1 company that had an agreement with the school. They were expensive, and you couldn't see anything through them because they no ventilation and thus steamed up. And I can't remember ever making anything other than sugar crystals in high school chemistry.

I think this Lysol-branding teacher had just been to one too many conventions put on the goggle industry and wasn't about to let the students show they could successfully do the experiments without the goggles, undermining the cut she was getting off the goggles. Typical public school chrony corporatism.

This sort of shiat would be easily fixed by a simple policy.

If you are told to wear your safety equipment and you refuse to wear your safety equipment - you fail.

Troll much???

Amateurs. My roommate (lab partner) and I managed to partially sterilize a lab full of students, and seal the room off for a week while the stench of flash-boiled pyridine was pumped out.
