What is the world coming to ? That is utterly ridiculous!
I used to love choosing my "new" pencil case before every term so it's sad to hear of them being banned.

A school has banned children from taking pencil cases into class in case they are used to hide sharp weapons. St Anne's Primary School in Denton, Greater Manchester, took the drastic action after a boy was cut with a letter opener by another pupil. Paul Starkie, nine, suffered minor cuts to his chest and leg when he was involved in "boisterous play" earlier this week. Teachers discovered that the letter opener had been brought into school hidden in a pencil case and have now banned them. The decision was branded "ridiculous" and "extreme" by education campaigners.

Imagine how ridiculous this could get. You could get bans on pens and pencils because they could became a weapon. They could add bags etc due to the risk of injury if someone was hit with one. You could have quite a list trying to remove everything that could potentially cause injury. It's a crazy world we live in today. |
