| Conkers replaced by Iphones |
I have to write a quick rant about the fact that schools seem to be going way over the top with health and safety fears by banning conkers (FEARS OF NUT ALLERGIES?), leapfrog and even marbles in the school playgrounds! What about the handstands against the walls? I scraped my hand once doing that and had to see the school nurse! I loved playing marbles and conkers etc…
Who are these so called researchers? They all must sit around discussing how our children should behave and play, they forget that life in the beginning is all a learning curve.
OK, just cover them all in bubble wrap and roll them around the grounds for a while during their breaks…. or maybe not, they could be allergic to bubbles or get motion sickness. So heaven forbid if one eats a conker!
Cant kids be kids anymore?
