We are a bit
more careful with the school sodium these days. We keep ours in a locked cupboard in a chemical store which itself has an armoured door and only give out a bit at a time. The sodium is not quite as nasty as the potassium though.
The title for scariest school chemical would go to the sodium hydroxide granules (far more caustic than the conc acids we use, one of the few things I will actually put gloves on for) or the potassium chlorate (google for the screaming jellybaby experiment)
