I would think the 'Health & Safety' legislation would have done away with them - just think of the risk assessment (remembering burnt lines down the centre of the lab benches due to generations of students.....)! As for what was in some of the cupboards in the chemistry lab ... Porton Down would have been interested. It certainly had the effect of attracting my interest (perhaps towards the more 'energetic' reactions...), even though I ended up as a physicist. 73 Paul G8GJA -----Original Message----- From: g4gvw@aol.com [mailto:g4gvw@aol.com] Sent: 13 August 2008 14:58 To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org Subject: Re: LF: new cw yahoo group Hopefully, John, Someone or Something will do for them all one day! When we now have serious discussions about paying students to attend to the sciences and engineering studies then I would suggest that the politicians have already done for the sciences! By definition, this shows that there are no longer sufficient good teachers in the system to excite and motivate students at an early age. Paying students to be taught by the mediocre will simply produce more mediocrity. I just hope that the last good science teacher remembers to turn off the Bunsen burner as he leaves!
