Reports on the situation in school labs

At times the apparatus is of very poor finish and design. Then the girls have to clean it. The laboratory does not have a conducive environment. If we have rats in the lab, are they well confined and the place does not develop foul smell? User:Romutujju

This is really too bad!
How about constructing rat traps with the children? That stimulates a lot of creativity!--GünOss 10:25, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
