Subject: RE: BS: Health and safety gone mad
Rap has it best. Some of these things y'all are bitchin' about are simply a bit of caution in an increasingly dangerous and litigious world. But my actual point goes more to this. Let's assume one of the 7 year olds on the field trip is killed or injured. If I'm the teacher I feel bad but I also question myself as to what might have prevented that from happening. If I'm the parent and find the teacher or school has not taken proper precautions, I'm fuckin' pissed.......and I want a large piece of someone's ass!

I just sent two sons out into the world and watched them as they went through school go on many field trips. They were never overprotected but the schools took reasonable precautions. The boys are of very divergent intelligence and emotional levels but neither is a shrinking violet.

Now if those "silly" yellow/green jackets are so silly, why are they worn by everything from highway crews to bikers anymore? I despair that your head is stuck deep in your ass! On the other hand, even from that location you were able to see those silly jackets.
