Im not sure if its the same in other countries but in england i think its getting ridiculous!!! In science we're not allowed to do loads of experiments in case we "hurt" ourselves! Does anyone else reckon its getting stupid now or do you agree with it?

well, people should watch out FOR THEMSELVES. it's none of the everyone else's business whether we're healthy or not. but it is the school's job to keep kids safe (mostly because they don't want to get sued)

It has become ridiculous. There are all these risk assesments and shit yo gotta do for everything now. Like when were in France on a school trip we weren't meant to be allowed anywhere near the sea. But thankfully, as it was so hot, we were allowed to paddle in a couple of inches of water and we had a huge water fight.

It has gone a bit far, but its not the schools fault. Its beauracracy (sp?). It's like competitive sport being banned in state schools. I mean thats just plain stupid.

its pathetic. in scotland, if a football game gets to 8-0 before half time the score gets cancelled!! and in some schools, sports day has been banned because it might upset people if they dont win!! i know thats not really health and safety but...y'know

in a way, health and safety has to go as far as it had, because people are claiming compensation on extremely stupid things nowadays. So people have to be very careful.

were allowed to play them, but its not supposed to be competetive, because aparently the losing kids will be mentally scarred for life.
