I remember back in high school my friend brought his potato cannon (gun just doesn't do it justice) in for a science project.

We used to toss Nerf footballs around in Jr. High and High School. In fact, it was the only ball that Mom allowed my sister and I to toss around inside the house! My Himalayan cat, "Pearl", loves the mini-Nerf balls. We spent many hours having fun, me tossing the little Nerf balls and the little fur-ball chasing them. Maybe the school bureaucrats should just lighten up and concentrate on education? Is that too much to ask?[cerberus];3234349 said:

Actually, it depends on the school.
In elementary school, my kids' teacher (IIRC 3rd grade) asked me to bring in a bow and arrow ("I figured you'd have one, out of all the parents," she told me![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")
) prior to a Plimouth Plantation trip. I checked with the administration to make sure all was cool. The vice principal saw me leaving with the bow, and said, "I can't wait for the calls about this!" and laughed.
In Middle school, my kid made a pneumatic potato gun, and, with prior permission, brought it in.
Not all school administrators are a$$hats.

Well, if your kids are going to do that, they will be expelled from school anyway. Why not just go for broke. Build a homemade 60mm or 81mm mortar as a "science project" and fire it in the schoolyard. The police response and the criminal penalties will likely be the same.So a physics class project - building trebuchet and firing

God dammit. I'm not that old. I remember
1: classmate using a cap gun to shoot another classmate during a presentation on Al Capone
2: teaching fourth graders to build and launch rockets as part of an after school program
3: launching rockets as demo for class
4: explaining how to make black powder to my class
This was all between '95 and '02
What the righteous **** happened?!

I remember metal shop in 7th and 8th grade, we make all kinds of weapons, hash pipes, lead fishing sinkers, etc. (late 1970's)
Exactly.
