Yesterday I wrote of an insane new rule imposed by a Mount Martha school banning touching of any kind.
Unfortunately, this school is not alone when it comes to over-regulating and implementing extreme measures for everyday problems. Let’s investigate some other shocking examples:
- There is the case of the teacher suspended for daring to give a zero score to students who neglected to even hand in their assignments.
- There is the student who was suspended for wearing a t-shirt that read, “Life is Wasted Without Jesus”.
- There was a school that decided to confiscate a 4-year old child’s lunch because it didn’t contain a vegetable in it.
- There is a school that banned ball games because it took too much space in the playground.
How can we be surprised when our children tell us they hate school?
