Granbury, TX Teacher Loses Job After Setting a Student’s Hands on Fire During Science Experiment
Teachers have to get pretty creative to keep kids interested these days. But this is taking things a bit too far!
Last Friday, a middle school teacher in Granbury, TX wanted to show kids how cool science can be and decided to do it by setting their hands on FIRE.
She put hand sanitizer on their hands and lit them on fire as part of a science experiment. She did it with multiple kids in several classes throughout the day.
Unfortunately, one 12-year-old boy ended up getting burned on both hands badly enough that he had to go to the hospital.
It’s not clear how bad it was, but doing that with hand sanitizer can POTENTIALLY cause third-degree burns.
The school says the teacher resigned and is “no longer an employee of the school district.”
We don’t know her name, but we do know she’s 37 years old.
It’s not clear if she could also face charges, but police are looking into it. But, once Granbury police complete their investigation, the findings will be turned over to the Hood County District Attorney’s office for review.
