Mrs. Harper was unique. When she was teaching basic machines she had an old
Crosley engine that she would assemble and crank up in front of the class.
When she taught centrifugal motion you had to stay awake or you might get
hit by a flying ball. And what she could do with a neon sign transformer
was awe inspiring to a 9th grader. :-)

No way she could do that in a class room these days.

Gee, Why can't teachers keep kids attention anymore?
Science was FUN! Look on EBAY at the old science kits and
all the damage, er a fun that you could do with one!

I'm sure Mrs. Harper would be serving time for a explosive device
detonation nowadays.
