Every year, physics teacher David Lapp brings his Korean War era M-1 carbine to school, fires a shot into a block of wood and instructs his students to calculate the velocity of the bullet...We can't have teachers being:
The rifle demonstration would not even be an issue if an anonymous parent had not complained.
a. Independent-minded;
b. Innovative; and
c. Actually educating their charges.
Jeez, what do they think this guy's teaching, physics?
And the indignant worm of a "parent" probably "feels" totally justified...

There; it is fixed.
Peet...
Wow, I wish my high school physics teacher had piqued my interest in the laws of physics by performing such experiments.
Hopefully the teacher can take the exercise off school property and turn it into a "field trip."
Why are you attacking Mill Valley Schools? Tamalpais High School is in Mill Valley but not part of the Mill Valley School District. Tam High is part of the Tamalpais High School District. The principal at Tam High as previous ones have done have approved this demonstration since 1992. No parents have complained until this one. I took the course, the demonstration is great! As is the course.
