Re: April Fools day???

some of the teachers here send their kids to that school, so they were getting the texts. There was one about 1am, and another about 10am...you'd think after the first the system would have been shut down! I did think it was funny at first, mainly because it wasn't my school. But shudder at the thou...

Re: Do we have to keep exhaust fan on 24/7

Leave it on 24/7

Re: senior science

our SS teacher burns the crap out of it..weighing it before and after - and thats the water content. He requests ham & tomato.
I hate it - it stinks out the place.
The other teachers don't think it is effective - but he wont listen...so burning it is!!!

Re: can you get dry ice?!

I purchased dry ice both mornings of conference from BOC at Marayong (Vardys Road)
They also opened at 730am.
I just rang the day before to make sure they had stock of it -as you can't order it as such.
