    Thank you, Geoff Black for writing in detail everything I was about to. I
    think, Jen, especially since you are working with middle schoolers you will
    be facing some very frustrating situations.

    Here is another idea. You say you have experience working with slides.
    I've never used the Polaroid Day Lab, but a former student of mine loves it.
    It is a little hard to explain, but basically what you do is put a slide in
    and it is exposed onto Polaroid sheet packs. The day lab itself costs
    between $300-500+ depending on the size. Polaroid packs are expensive. But
    this allows experimenting with Polaroid transfers. I'm sure Polaroid has a
    web site.
    The Kodak web site is great. They have lesson plans for B & W, I'm not sure
    about color.

    Do you have to do color? Was someone doing it before you? Black and white
    is so wonderful and the experience is so gratifying.

    > but as I used to tell my students...."Do you really want to stick your hands
    > into something the local fire department considers toxic waste?" .... and
    > ... "It doesn't have to hurt you to kill you."

    I tell my students if they put their hands in the chemicals their babies
    will have two heads.
