The Cotton Wool Culture...

Children are being made to wear goggles before handling Blu Tack, to prevent them rubbing the common adhesive into their eyes in one school.
In another school, teachers are given a five-page briefing on the dangers of Pritt Stick which must be read before use of the glue within the classroom.
Do you remember making the rockets, castles and boats with the empty egg boxes when you were younger? Well, now many schools have banned these for fear of salmonella poisoning.
There have also been reported bans on footballs, snowball fights and conker games in playgrounds across the country.

Here we have another clear example of hypocrisy on the behalf of the government and authorities...

On one hand, the government encourage families to adopt an active lifestyle with the "Change 4 Life" scheme, yet they are restricting children being able to do this through ludicrous health and safety laws within schools...

However, whilst the government enforces such ridiculous acts; it seems to me that Michael Gove is the real health and safety problem for our children...

After mistakenly promising 25 schools that their new building projects would go ahead, Michael Gove now risks further unpopularity through cancelling the Labour government's £55bn Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme and suspending projects in 715 schools.
Leaving some pupils sat in schools which are quite literally falling down around them...

Suddenly being hit by a snowball seems kind of trivial...
