Over zealous enforcement of the rules. As far as I can see there was no victim here and the whole picture needs to be considered.

Physics teachers that can inspire young minds should not have their careers destroyed for taking minor risks - in life accidents happen, we must accept it as fact or we end up a very poor species ("the man who makes no mistakes, makes nothing")

Protect practical science and help any teacher like the great Mr West who does safe experiments with unsafe ingredients.

As an ex physics and chemistry teacher, even after taking every precaution, accidents do still happen. This is the real world people.

This has to be one of the best reads in a long time. Usually one only hears about teen children abuse teachers in school. In my opinion, the are loads of little Morgans running a mock and parents are always quick to find fault. The injuries kid, good on ya. You'll be more ex tactic with 'this good deed', more so than chasing for compensation.
