Default 'dangerous' triangular flapjacks

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education...flapjacks.html



An insider at the school said the pupil went to the first aid office after the triangular flapjack was thrown across the canteen last Wednesday, and while the area around his eye looked “a bit sore”, it “wasn’t life-threatening or anything like that”.

I loved the way the BBC reporter held up a triangular flapjack, then showed the safe square version.


Just wait until you cut it in half - you'll then have two dangerous flapjacks

Its worrying when a head teacher decides that altering the shape of a flapjack is preferable to tackling a behavioural issue. What would have happened if they'd thrown a shoe?

That's what I was just thinking!

Answer: they would forbid shoes and children would have to go to school in flip flops.

Yep.... and despite assurances in the run up to the election Cameron is doing nothing to dismantle it.... in fact what does he do other than talk about what he might do?

What hope have the next generation got when this kind of stuff is being OK'd by people who should know better. God help us over the next 20 years if someone doesn't get a grip on this kind of stuff.

Common sense has no place in modern society, some of the HSE related p1sh we put up with at work is a ******* joke.

christ we used to use chewed up jotting paper rolled into ***** dryed on radiators then blown through plastic thermometer tubes, like a blowpipe. simon lavercombes was a awsome shot with one, he once shot david ellis on the forehead and left a red mark, you can guess what ellis got called for weeks, ah those where the days
