some of you may have heard about this

Anyway Mr. Rea was my honors physics teacher junior year and even wrote my college recommendation letter. The whole even from thursday is rediculous and by now means he deserves any kidna punishment. The physcs demos were the best part of the class, its what made it interesting.

Anyway if you feel the same way i do, please sign the petition


On the side note i bought saverea.com, the site will be up as soon as master DNS servers refesh :)

My comment on my signature:
Caution is one thing, but treating a teacher with twenty years of experience this way isn't caution, it's just anal! Come back to planet Earth.

Best of luck to your teacher, but he is kind of lucky just to be placed on leave. With all the zero-tolerance bullshit going around, I'd have expected him to be fired - if a student had done that they'd be expelled at most schools around here.

Done

"When you take away experimental illustrations from the students in already difficult classes like physics and chemistry they will loose even more intrest than they already have. America is already lacking in the sciences, why put an additional roadblock to learning?"

Circulate a petition on paper at the school, it will probably hold more weight with the administration. Also take it into the local community. Get parents and neighbors to sign it.

Ahh those were the days way back when. My junior highschool science teacher and a demonstration of a "potato gun" type of experiment. Afterwards we were allowed to make them in class and fire them out side. :)

We still do


About 15 years ago a kid brought in an Old Fashion Musket and actually fired it off with a 1/3 charge and nothing happened...

If he was a big enough idiot to walk into a school carrying a rifle without telling anybody first... causing a major police incident... I think his punishment is well deserved.

If you walk into a bank with a BB rifle, you think everybody is going to laugh and say "Hey, look at that cool BB gun!"? NO! You're going to get your ass shot... this guy is just lucky.

Holy Christ... are you people really that ignorant?
