Step away from the beaker, Mr. Communications Teacher, especially if you suffer from science envy.
Galena Park High School students, 150 or so, had to be evacuated when a beaker of chemicals burst in a communications class, notes the Houston Chronicle.
Why was a communications teacher doing chemistry? Students learn how to express ideas in such a class, sometimes using visual examples or talking about life experiences, said Craig Eichhorn, spokesman for the Galena Park Independent School District - including such learning includes how to yell for help when chemicals go into the air. “We’re going to get to the bottom of it and find out how it happened.”
Want to know a good reason why teachers and classrooms don't have enough money? Because school districts have spokespeople.
