Today we made gunpowder and smoke bombs in the classroom.

And yesterday they dissected fetal pigs in the Biology class. There's only one way in or out through the chain fence, and it's locked. My food cache here is worth a week for me, and I've got enough gunpowder and glassware to make about 5 lbs of smokebombs and gunpowder. Oh, and the students brought in 4 cans of butane for the spud gun; we've got enough.

The students seem smarter, today, somehow...

Subtle, dude.

Amazing when faced with the threat of real, honest to goodness DEATH, the students stop trying to be bad-asses and just try to survive. That's when the chemistry teacher who knows how to make zombies go 'boom!' is suddenly very popular.

Because they finally realised you're the only one who will get out alive.

Er, considering the insane social environment re: schools and the merest suggestion of violence, do you think you should write a header on the post so that someone clueless won't think this is nonfiction? Wish it weren't so, but I'd hate for you to get in deep kimchee.

Since I won't be teaching again,

AND there is no violence and nothing but actual truth in that post (seriously--the final chem project is to make gunpowder and smoke bombs, we have made a spud gun and a student DID give me 4 cans of butane for my birthday AND we can make it fire with Axe spray, anyway) and now the campus is locked down and I'm the only one here...

No, really, all the truth.

Ah yes, explosions and gore! Always crowd pleasers for that intellectual age group. Unfortunately schools are too cheap or lilly-livered to fund science at a level so such experiments could be year-round, and, thus, have kids actually learn science.

Well, yeah; they've got lots of experience with explosions.
