THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT!

THAT'S THE WAY TO GET KIDS  INTERESTED

Not like here ..UK...  the only interest is the number of state ( and
sterile)exams passed .... no enthusiasm for the real stuff
The FAIREST thing we can experience is the MYSTERIOUS

It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle

of TRUE ART and TRUE SCIENCE

He who knows NOT mystery and can no longer WONDER,

no longer feel AMAZEMENT is as good as DEAD

>FELTON, Calif. -- "The Boom" is bouncing around the classroom like an
>overgrown kid. With his bushy gray eyebrows and mad scientist's grin,
>he's demonstrating the density of methane to 25 rapt teenagers at San
>Lorenzo Valley High School. "Again?" gasps one girl.

>Explosions are nothing new to Preston Q. Boomer's physics and chemistry
>classes. Neither are flash fires, electric shocks, spark-spitting
>transformers or deafening gongs, sirens and klaxons. He begins many

>
>It's the Boom's Big Bang Theory of teaching: Noise is fun, even
>instructive. But his wacky experiments can go awry. One day the cops
>showed up as a result of a half-baked Boomer stunt. The teacher was
>testing whether a 1.5-million-volt Tesla coil could shoot a spark across
>the room. In the process, he cut off all police radio communications for
>miles.
