22. Ha!

I went back to college when I was 30 to get degree in medical field. Never had chemistry before. Huge class in one of those huge tiered amphitheater-type lecture halls. I think it was the 2nd class... walked in and most of the lights were out. Once everyone was seated, the Prof turned the lights out and struck a match to the big helium filled balloon above his head. Kaboom!
Turned the lights on and told us our assignment was to write the equation for the reaction that just occurred and then dismissed us. And I mean it was a huge Kaboom. Most of the students were, of course, right out of high school. And let me tell you, it got their attention. It was a great class, and no, we didn't have anymore explosions like that. Got a B+ in the first chemistry class of my life.

And no, what happened to this high school student was way too harsh, I don't care what the circumstances were. This country is going backwards, I tell ya!
