Assuming it's real, how could such a record be anywhere close to acceptable? I can't remember anyone injuring themselves throughout every lab project I had in high school and university.

Right, imagine putting up those kinda numbers in any sort of workplace, OSHA would be shutting it down.

Hot glass looks like cold glass.

Ooof, my lab's safety officer would have loved this. And by love I mean gone absolutely ballistic.

I'd say it's the opposite. 4th period knows how to party responsibly

When I see this meme I always remember the glass rod I stuck in my thumb when we learned to do some basic lab glassmaking.

Teacher here. I can explain this as: at any given time only about 1/2 the class is listening to instructions. I’m guessing that 4th period is a smaller class, but they did well because the teacher could better monitor what they were doing. I’d be willing to bet that 7th period is the largest class.

Plot twist: 4th period was the teacher's prep period. The teacher burned themself while trying to work out how to keep students from burning themselves.

Half of the students in second period probably aren't even awake yet. I normally wasn't awake/functional until about 3-4th period. Half the time I would sleep through second period 😂

My theory:

4th period everyone just wants to go home so they get er done without horsin’ around

The other periods they have to be there anyways so lots of horsin’ round to make the time go by faster

I suspect 7th period is not the teachers favorite class

Plot twist! 4th period only has one student.

Might also be the teacher wondering why there are so many injuries and doing the experiment himself.

Nah they are barely waking up. I know I was.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That's what I posted above "only half of second period is actually awake"
