Bud the Baker Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I was gonna use the title Health and Safety gone Mad or something Game of Thronesy but you can't trump ex-heedie Geoff Barton.................. Quote Snowball rules needed to stop 'winter anarchy' in playgrounds Strict rules are needed to stop playground snowball fights descending into "winter anarchy", a former head teacher has said. Geoff Barton, a head for 15 years and now general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), said snowballs were a "part of childhood". But he said they "can be dangerous" and rules needed to be in place so children knew what was acceptable. His comments come after Ges Smith, head teacher of Jo Richardson Community School in Dagenham, appeared on Good Morning Britain to explain why he banned pupils from touching snow on health and safety grounds. Mr Barton, who ran King Edward VI school in East Anglia, said staff needed to monitor the action "so we could have a civilised day of children hurling snow at each other rather than winter anarchy".

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 It's utterly freezing here with snow coming down sideways due to strong winds. What's it like in Paisley town. Game will be off on Friday I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
