myrmepropagandistgen x broke all the lab equipment and now the school won't replace it. So everyone has to make do with that super boring "PH" experiment.
apophis@futurebird @sollat boosting as an xennial who's seen the damage firsthand
David Smith@futurebird @sollat on the plus side, this meant I got super good at field-repairing ancient centrifuges!
LucyKemnitzer@futurebird @sollat Gosh no, in so many schools we never had a coherent set of equipment & anyway instead of maintaining the supplies the districts are required to buy whole new sets every time a new curriculum is adopted, and then they can't afford to get whole sets so key bits are missing from the get
Bill D@futurebird @sollat That was a Boomer thing. But thanks for noticing us!
Virginicus@futurebird @sollat My high-school physics teacher used to refer to broken equipment as “studentized”.
