Cluelessness in the schools
You are a high-school student in Chemistry class. You fail to follow proper lab procedure and get a burn. What is the thing that you need to do next?

Central Valley student sues over chemical burns
A Central Valley High School student and her guardian are suing the Gateway Unified School District and chemistry teacher Gary "Roy" Bergstrom after a chemistry lesson allegedly left the student with chemical burns.
The suit alleges personal injury caused by negligence and seeks more than $25,000.
In a cause of action document filed in Shasta County Superior Court on June 17, Bethany Pearson and her guardian ad litem, Robyn Ellis, allege that on May 21, 2008, Pearson suffered chemical burns to her face, arms and legs in Bergstrom's class.
There are over 40 comments and one theme that runs through them is this:
Anyone who knows Mr. Bergstrom, knows he is an excellent teacher. My kids have had him as a teacher. He can teach them any day.
Wow. I had Bergstrom as a teacher in high school three years ago and he was one of my favorite teachers.
Aww. Bergstrom is definatly one of the better teachers there @ CVHS. He loves teaching and he loves those kids.
I hope the judge tosses this one into orbit and fines the family court costs...
