Not a problem. You are welcome.
Sometimes there is a question, or a statement which poses a question, my muse kicks in, and I won't get the monkey off my back until I have the answer in.
I'm mainly saying that there are legitimate grounds for understanding it that way, especially considering some of her other actions. I haven't built the case for excluding other understandings, and don't know that I have grounds to.
I reflected on some things of importance to me, so I got something out of it also.
I was thinking of thanking 'Brother ClassicDrogn' and 'Brother drakensis' for the learning opportunity.
(I had the opportunity today XXXXX Sunday to discuss my conclusions with a party I more readily discuss that side of the topic with.)
I like talking, and I like finding or refinding new things worth talking about. Helps me think about them better.
Considering how much work you must be putting in to this, I still feel like I am receiving, on net.
Oh, and when I was rambling about the chemistry, I'd forgotten that it was a single tear per however many units paint. Keeping that in mind, my head canon is that he was using egg white as part of his medium, and adding a little bit of water for magical purposes. OOC, I'm sticking with the whole 'trying to remove entirely things one dislikes robs verisimilitude and tends to create pablum' symbolism.
Relearned yesterday (Tuesday) that Dr. Doom's full name is Victor Von Doom.
Given my ranting about classical figures, this means one more suggestion along those lines. Victoria. Romans considered her a cognate to Nike.
Plus V.V. has some good jokes that could be made with it. Or, really obnoxious, Victoria Iago Vandom. V.I.V.
Note that we get Athena from the Ionian way of saying the name. Sophia comes from the Doric. IIRC.
I'm gonna have to go with Collins as evil, possessed, replaced or cursed. Shame. I thought Will could've used additional positive adult attention in her life. Not to mention her sister. Double the adults means double the chances to find her, and it'd wouldn't be good for her if she managed to make it to adulthood without getting adult attention in her own identity.
Her answer seems fairly good, I dunno why he'd count her off, unless he doesn't know the material.
peasents maybe should be peasants
"Well I think there's a simple remedy here, Will." There was a mischevious look in his eyes before he turned away and I glared death at the back of his head. "Today we're going to move on to deal with the Renaissance period but you can also write me a report on the state of the man during the Middle Ages. Thirty pages should do it."
maybe 'state of man during' instead?
I can see mischievous if she has a poor eye for people, or if he doesn't know what he is assigning. Of course, I don't have a good idea of reasonable assignments for that age. Certainly speaks to being ethically dubious, especially if this is Collins in his own right mind. Yes, Will and her sister shouldn't sass him, even if he does like their mother. However, this smacks of abusing his position to further his personal interests.

Tardus is Latin for idiot. Hmm... Worker kinda works, but again is probably not something that is long term healthy. Te is a Latin word for you, as well as being one of the roots, I think meaning fist, of Karate. (If wiki is to be trusted, there were several {placename} Te martial arts.)

*Safety Jerk Powers Activate* They'd better be wearing proper PPE. Safety glasses. Probably long sleeves. Certainly close toed shoes. They should have instituted procedures for chemistry class. Like, all communication that is not vital can wait till after.
Also, Acid to Water, just like you outta. (I've been sitting on a very bad joke based on that for a while. I've had it written up with the rest of my stuff, waiting for the right time.)
Algebra is great, and they should be more aware of the wonderful things it can do.
Anyway, I'm enjoying this, and still looking forward to more. Hopefully I will keep on top of things better than just now, but I have a few reasons to say that I can't make promises.
Do you have an idea what reaction or reactions they are running?
Classic,
Worse things could have happened. She will have missed some of the safety lectures, so she might've tried to fill the pipette by mouth suction. (Never, ever do this.) *Remembers the video they showed of a pipette, maybe broken, being jabbed into a hand* Anyway, back in the day they tried to make really sure I knew lab safety.
