I'm not sure how to make a cut on LJ, so here's the highlights.

"Children are being made to wear goggles before handling Blu Tack and are forbidden to run in the playground as a health and safety culture sweeps through schools.

Pupils at one school are forced to put on goggles before using Blu Tack to prevent them rubbing the common adhesive into their eyes."

...maybe I went to an incredibly gifted school, but I can't remember even the slower kids RUBBING BLU TACK INTO THEIR EYES. How does that happen? What's the thought process behind it?!

In another, teachers are given a five-page briefing note on the dangers of Pritt Stick before they may use it with their charges.

...it makes your hands kinda sticky and makes you sick if you eat it. That takes up 5 pages?
