I'd like to know this instructors credentials:
WOODRUFF, S.C. -- An experiment gone awry in a Spartanburg County classroom caused some scary moments Thursday morning, reported WYFF-TV in Spartanburg, S.C. Spartanburg District 4 Superintendent Rallie Liston said that an instructor at Woodruff High School was trying to demonstrate the creation of sodium hydroxide when the sodium and water exploded in a dish.
"People were screaming, and like, hysterical. I mean, we were just all shocked. And then some people were cuttin' up about it, laughing about it, but mostly people were like, 'Are you OK?' I can't believe that happened," student Kristen West said.
Kristen should pay more attention to her English classes.
Fifteen students were hit by debris or chemicals from the reaction. School nurses treated two students immediately, but the others didn't seek medical attention until after class. The district superintendent said his office is investigating the incident and whether proper safety procedures were followed before and after the explosion.
I'm presuming they must have all had safety glasses on.
"Even if the teacher felt confident that the problem was taken care of, let's be overly cautious. If we're gonna make an error, let's make it on the side of, 'Hey, we took another 20 minutes to look into this,'" Rallie Liston said.
Rallie doen't care much for cliches.
Liston said the district intends to interview the students who were in the classroom on Friday. No action has been taken against the teacher.
