    It couldn't have been worse then Cyril Jackson Senior High School...
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Mt Lawley actually. I'm pretty sure it routinely made the bottom quadrant in TER scores, the roof sort of collapsed on one of the rooms (I was in it at the time) and we did have that guy come onto school with a machete, among other things...

    They started rebuilding it the year after I left.

    Mt Lawley was a league ahead of CJ.

    Maybe so, but it still wasn't a great school (despite what our principal reguarly told us). But given that it reguarly got ranked in the bottom quartile of schools in WA at the time I was there, I'm using it as my reference, and saying that even if you are at a school that is regarded as being bad, it is still possible to do well under the australian schools system.

    We really only talked about evolution in two classes: Social Studies 9 and H Bio. When we talked about evolutionism as the birth of our existence the teacher told us in a nice big preface THIS IS ONLY A THEORY...SOMETHING BETTER MIGHT COME LONG...AFTER ALL, PEOPLE USED TO DRINK RADON


    Put the above two ingredients in a ceramic pot, (maybe add some oxygen rich compound to give a bit mroe fuel but it's not really needed), use a magnesium strip as a fuse (to get the required temperatures), and off it goes. But don't do it inside, from memory the reaction is at about 3500 degrees.

    Don't expect to use the pot again either, liquid iron is formed out of this.
    I almost miss AP Chem...no I don't, but I do miss doing this when we were bored in class

    My sister went to Mt Lawley.

    CJ was in Ashfield, it became a senior campus after I left. Despite that my brother still got over 450 in the TEE.
