Since the Loonies took over the asylum , I reckon, Your Grace. Birmingham Council are experts at PC especially now that the immigrant population outnumbers the indigenous in the city.

Agreed, Andy - It is mad.

I was told by a School Teacher that they aren't allowed to use "RED Pen" on childrens work no more, as it may upset the child.

Ballcocks, I say. X(

:C

 

[revjames]

Yes indeed a few strokes of red pen could damage a poor little childs self esteem irrepairably!

 

[Andy™]

[AAAMUSEMENTS]

When I worked in education I often used to refer to the white boards as "Caucasian boards", just to see who had a sense of humour.

It's not even "Chalk Boards" anymore either. They either pens on white boards or a powerpoint via laptop.

Schools aren't even allowed to put a plaster on a child's cut anymore, for fear of being sued, if a child has an allergic reaction to it.
