One of the best investments I've made as a teacher

I don't often write reviews as I rarely find a product that exceeds my expectations. However, these little microscopes deserve a mention. I'm a substitute teacher and one of my passions is bringing things into the classroom that kids just don't see. Stressed teachers are so obsessed with tests, deadlines, general bullshit, rebellious parents, disrespectful students and the like that they don't have the free time to push their limits and show the kids something new, and they don't have no budget. .With my own money buying when they go on Hot Deals I have now bought about 40 of these microscopes. They turned out to be an extremely valuable (and almost indestructible!) investment. Those audible sighs when a child first realizes that an entirely different world exists are absolutely priceless. The scopes have decent magnification for beginners, they are made from a durable plastic body and the batteries take a long time to wear out. I know this because my kids so often clean them up with the lights on. Easy to use and portable. I know they're a hit because every time I bring them to class, several students ask how they can get one. Overall one of the best returns I have ever received.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
