Nah, purely resistive loads in that class. Was pretty basic since it was a required course. Electronics in high school, an elective… yeah there were some dipshits that earned the Sparky nickname.
Now tech school, where we were left unsupervised for lunch… yeah there were a lot of blown out voltage regulators from using our hand-built power supplies to pop capacitors in various ways and degrees of safety. What can I say, some guys just love the smell of burnt peanut butter.
Did you also have the group that had competition to see who could hold hot glue the longest, wacked eachother with metal rulers held over bunsen burners, and snorted citric acid when you made sherbert?
If those kinds of things happened I wasn’t around to see it.
Did have a guy do some embroidery on his palm during sewing class though (we got the kitchen sink thrown at us in middle school, was actually kind of neat). Same guy intentionally turned the oven up to max while making pretzels in home ec. Not the brightest bulb.
I must have got the crazy science ones while you got the crazy home ec - worst we did in home ec was accidentally turn the whipped cream into butter… oh, and made a rum (flavoured) and rasin ice cream.
