School administrators have little sense of humor.

Barium, Carbon, Potassium, Thorium, Astatine, Arsenic, Sulfur, Uranium, Phosphorus





Frankly, I am more impressed with the student.

I agree. The student was clever, the administrators were less than clever.
Someone misspelled the words Uranium and Phosphorous. Perhaps the person who transcribed this.

I can't help but think that this was inspired by the  way that the opening credits of Breaking Bad used the Chemical symbols.

That was one helluva great TV show. I saw it all on Netflix, without a single commercial. The artistry of the production is horribly ruined by those goddamn commercials.
