She is an intelligent, kind, and capable woman. There is no way that she 'helped' students ingest chloroform (and in fact one of the three students in question confirmed that she knew nothing about it). I imagine what happened here is that some kids got caught doing something they shouldn't have and panicked. All a student has to do is accuse a teacher of anything, and their career is completely ruined. The small amount of nitroglycerine is no more dangerous than other explosives routinely used in chemistry demonstrations, and it was being kept for a student project.<br /><br />Japhia is doing all she can, despite media sensationalism, to retain hope that the justice system really works in this country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
