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...

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.
