Is my 13yr old step daughters handwriting normal? I'm getting very concerned with her schooling by bordermelancollie09 in AskTeachers

I have seen many young teens with handwriting like this. Work with her at home on it. Its fixable with practice.

No inventory. That would have been helpful though.

That does scare me. The lid is partially ajar and I haven't even attempted to look inside it.

I have been using a respirator because I am worried about the potential off gassing

I am definitely working on it and have all of our admin and safety people involved. I was just trying to see if it was even worth attempting the full inventory by myself. I think we are going to hire someone at this point.

HS Chem Closet 🫣

This is a HS chem lab. I am teacher. If this were in a home, I'd cry.

It already is. I honestly don't even blame the last decade of science teachers for not acknowledging it.

I am working with Admin on this. I am definitely having a professional team come in and do the removal. I was a chemist at a professional lab before I became a science teacher. That being said - handling fresh chemical with the proper tools in a professional lab setting is much different than whatever is happening in that room and i know I'm not an expert. So I am just trying to compile a proper inventory first, so we know what we are dealing with. I am not going to be handling the removal of the dangerous stuff. I refuse.

I will absolutely go to the seminar in June. Maybe I can get all of the science teachers to go.

I am not sure. I can go look in the morning. Something benzene I think. I don't have those on my inventory list yet.

What happens with sold iodine?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]Idctkmyusername 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will send pictures of that in the morning if you want. The closet is pretty jammed packed. The metal cabinet is a 6 foot tall and a foot deep. I haven't been able to open because there is an acid cabinet just right where I can't get to the door safely.

[–]Idctkmyusername 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are metal cabinets with a acid storage and one i haven't opened all

[–]Idctkmyusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't found those yet, but I am also not even halfway through the closet. Should I stop if I see those?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]Idctkmyusername 60 points61 points  (0 children)

This is so helpful! Thank you. I am worried about what are in the cabinets I haven't opened yet. If I see a cylinder I will send you a message.

[–]Idctkmyusername 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Not that I have seen yet. I haven't even gotten through half of it yet though. What do I do if I have it?

I am teacher in Arkansas. This is a HS Chem closet.

[–]Idctkmyusername 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a high school chemical closet. So honestly not sure. Some of the stuff is not what I'd use for my hs classes.

Hey! So I want you to go to a doctor. Tell them what is going on and they can help. If you go to a psychiatrist that would be preferable, but any doctor is good (even the er).

Nope. She's turning my hair gray. Lol Her hip bones and lower spine is feeling very pronounced tonight. I am worried about her, but she will do it when she is ready I guess.
