Health & Safety
A good example was when a famous guitarist was doing a workshop in a school that specialises in Performing Arts. The kids missed out because of H&S issues - they only had to walk 600 yards!

As a direct result of stupid health and safety policies enforced by schools, a lot of kids are missing out on some valuable educational experiences. Is it me or, or have things just gone barmy?

| 03-9-2006 | I've only been in school for 11 years, but for my wished career it'll be another 14 years before I leave it all behind.

| 27-6-2006 | Paperwork of any sort that slows down the process of educating young individuals is a bad thing. We're only storing up problems for that generation later on in life. Well said! | Lewis |
