Ok this all started when i was in my country the teacher told the whole class to do an art project we needed 5 candles (we had to buy these chemicals and melt them in like a tea pot or somthing on the oven) we had three days to do it the first day i thought well i have plenty of time and my friends didnt know how so i told them to come over and ill help them since i did 3 already so on day 2 a person in my class came and told the teacher my kitchen shelf got burned and i burned my hand from it the teacher like didnt care she said oooh really and that was it well the third day came and since my friends were coming over so i could teach them somthing awful happened somthing went totally wrong and it came on my hand and i freaked out so then it came on my face half of my face was burned! i was screaming and yelling and crying my friends were trying to help me i cooled down so wen i went to school thats wen she said noo more candles so what im asking is is it my fault that i was burned?

the reason why i think its my teachers fault is that she gave us the asignment to do although there were girls in my class telling her ooh i got burned so why did she ignore that and give it for us to continue?

You should not do laboratory projects unsupervised and in a home setting. You need a lab, you need a teacher present. What kind of school is that? It sounds illegal. What country is this? I feel the project should NOT ever have been assigned to you to do on your own. It is not safe. They must stop this type of project.
Accidents do happen, but prevention is better than cure. I don't think it was your fault, it was an accident. However, I think you should not have been told to do that assignment. That was bad judgment.

Lab experiments done for school projects need to be supervised. As one of the other posters said in a lab setting not on one's own where there is no supervision.
It sounds to me that from the point of giving the assignment the way it was it's the teacher's fault. This incident regardless of who is at fault should be reported to the school principal and higher officials in the education system of your country.

I think by the third time you did it you wanted to show off and impress your friends and you did something wrong and it blew up, literally, in your face. I'm sorry you got burned. But I don't see how your teacher is at fault.

It sounds like it was nobody's fault. It wasn't your teacher's fault because he/she wasn't there. And it wasn't your fault because you didn't do it purposely. Accidents happen. I'm sorry you got burned, but I think your teacher learned a lesson and was smart to say that there would be no more candle projects.

Projects that have a chance of becoming dangerous should only be done in a lab setting with proper supervision.
