Chemistry Experiment Blamed For Woodstock School Fire
By MARK SPENCER | The Hartford Courant
2:23 PM EST, December 16, 2008
A fire at the Hyde School in Woodstock Monday was caused by a chemical flare-up while a chemistry teacher and three students were working on an experiment, a school official said in a statement today.
John Rigney, assistant head of school, said the fire was extinguished immediately and fire and police officials were contacted.
Two of the students were sent to Day Kimball Hospitall in Putnam. One has been released with minor burns while the other student is still being evaluated, Rigney said.

we need teacher accountability but the unions wouldn't stand for it.

You're kidding, right? We take what for now is considered an accident and use it as an opportunity to attack teachers' unions?
I guess some people will use anything as a reason to attack teachers.

Was the admission for a psychiatric evaluation, perhaps? Afterall, it IS the Hyde school! "Alternative" schooling for the rich and wanna-be famous......

Silly person, Hyde is a "private", altrenative boarding school for troubled/wayward teens. They have no teachers union represntation there at all. It is sooo liberal however, that the deliquents attending the school may have been permitted to form a "union"..........

Somebody local should INVESTIGATE. Did this teacher KNOW what he was doing? Hyde School routinely hires teachers "qualified" only by their adherence to the Hyde School character education cult. Some of them might not even have their bachelor's degree.

Some??? It's not a requirement for this school to teach.

Well, thankfully there were no fatalities (although it sounds like one student is still in the hospital). Though I'd sure like to know why they were conducting experiments at 8:45 PM... And also: just who exactly was the teacher that was allegedly supervising this? Was it the regular Chemistry teacher? Or just someone who was supervising study hall? Since this apparently occurred during study hall time...

I'm sorry, but I am a current student at Hyde... and it has done wonders for my family. The students are far from inept. I think that those individuals who bash Hyde are completely ignorant. Hyde can get stressful at times, but in the long run, Hyde students are better prepared for life in general. I do not personally know, or know of, a single Hyde graduate who has grown up to be a useless deadbeat. The teachers here are plenty qualified and would do anything for their students. The teachers and the students at Hyde have better relationships than most teens have with their parents. I know that I can personally rely on any faculty member at Hyde... especially the Chemistry teacher. I spent a good portion of my summer with her and she is a strong, independent, and smart woman. Hyde is not for snobby rich kids.... my parents have made many sacrifices to send me here and they work equally as hard as I do within the Hyde process. I am not offended by the false and ignorant comments made towards Hyde because I know that personally, I am over all more well rounded than the beholders of the ill comments... I mean, I am only seventeen and I have been offered multiple internships which peruse my future careers, am in the process if a book publication, and selling photography via an art gallery, on my own.. Just to name a few things that most internet blogging junkies or humans in general, will not accomplish in a lifetime. There are no mentally unstable students attending Hyde. No students are mentally ill, crazy excreta. The students at Hyde work twice as hard as any normal high school teen. We definitely work harder than certain cyber-stalkers s who spend their free time uselessly blogging their days away......

Oh my word, dear child, do please lower your voice! ...And "excreta," btw, bears more relation to the word EXCREMENT than it does to the phrase ET CETERA, which I do believe was your intended choice... (much as I like the sonorousness of your actual choice. :D)

I have it on good authority that Bear is payed as part of an Evil Nihilist Cabal bent on keeping America from embracing Charter culture. He is payed by the syllable and the web hits he drives. So there is no free time involved.
