Wrap them up in cotton wool.
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this reported on BBC1 just a few minutes ago...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/ne...00/6356189.stm So I checked the website and sure enough, it wasn't a joke. The headmistress said that she wanted the children in her charge "to consider what might be appropriate". At five to eight years old...what might be appropriate...what is happening to this wretched country??????

Re: Wrap them up in cotton wool.
For goodness sake!!!! Who in their right mind appoints these idiots into highly paid jobs. No wonder the state of education in this country is appalling when the headmistress of an infant/junior school has nothing better to do than make stupid rules about playing tag. No doubt I would have spent a hell of a lot of time in detention had I been at her school.
I loved playing contact games at school and had injuries as a result (including a fracture). Children learn by playing games, at the very least, they learn not to make the same mistake twice..

Re: Wrap them up in cotton wool.
How bloody pathetic.
I'm glad the little angels didn't go to my school QEGS, where I was the undefeated British Bulldog champion for many years running. They'll be banning eye-spy with my little eye next, because it puts the dyslexic at a disadvantage.

Re: Wrap them up in cotton wool.
Folks, it is only one silly administrator who grossly overreacted. There are always a few twits in any profession. This one has obviously fulfilled the conditions of the Peter Principle and reached his/her level of incompetence.

Re: Wrap them up in cotton wool.
Electric wires into sockets? I managed it with Dad's keys! Once, only once!
. . . Still have the curly hair that resulted!

Re: Wrap them up in cotton wool.
Does this mean that sports are going to be given up as well? I broke my foot when i was 11 playing netball - thats a contact sport more often than not and what about football and rugby etc?

Re: Wrap them up in cotton wool.
How silly. Life is full of little accidents. All kids get bumps and bruises. What next? Tie them to a chair so they can't trip up when standing up?
As a child I loved running around games like tag. I can't remember ever getting seriously hurt when playing it. I have had broken bones but due to other experiences.

Re: Wrap them up in cotton wool.
Makes you wonder what sort of parents the children have if they aren't doing anything about it. It's about time we started objecting to people like this ruining our establishments and country.

Re: Wrap them up in cotton wool.
According to the main BBC news site Kiss Chase is banned as well!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/6356865.stm This is the only exercise some children get, running away from the girl with the snotty nose, and a mouthful of coldsores.

Awwww, I used to love playing kiss chase at infant school. I was the girl who used to stand still but never got caught..  It was nothing to do with my snotty nose, I was just an ugly duckling.. There was only one young lad who used to try and kiss me, he had terrible eyesight and was uglier than I was.. It was probably the only time that I used to run..

Re: Wrap them up in cotton wool.
The other thing is that they moan about children being unfit & not getting enough exercise then in another breath they ban good sources of exercise
 Blumming give in one hand take away in the other as typical of this stupid country - about time for some rebelling!!! |
