H...Dr James must have an interesting story to tell. How did he go from being 'a proper scientist' to teaching school kids?<BR/><BR/>We had a science teacher called Mr Barrow. He looked sad all the time. He looked particularly sad when he was teaching us about genetics and lamented the fact that it was illegal to 'really interesting' experiments on humans. I will never forget the suddenly awake/startled looks that went around the class when he said that.Cocktailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06091341579556869010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065300364042643121.post-18427908830913203782009-02-23T10:13:00.000+00:002009-02-23T10:13:00.000+00:00C&M: it's my first year Science work book ...C&M: it's my first year <BR/>Science work book Dr James' class (1R). Dr J had a hint of Fu Manchu about him to our minds having a longish tash and dark looks. I fear we use to do a less than pc. impression of him. He was a proper scientist and once did experiment that went wrong and produced clouds of deadly gas, life was simpler back then!BLTPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564846497205095201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7065300364042643121.post-24731251512709473692009-02-23T10:07:00.001+00:002009-02-23T10:07:00.001+00:00Zaphod: That allsounds very elaborate; stationary ...Zaphod: That allsounds very elaborate; stationary is important to kids!<BR/>Elaina: thanks for your comments it's good to have you along.
