School Bans "Lethal" Flapjack

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

When I was at school, people used to sellotape needles and pins from the textiles classroom onto the end of pencils and stab at people as they walked down the corridors. I'd much rather be hit with a flapjack!!! stupid wimpish children. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
Banning foodstuffs simply because of its shape? Right. Let's ban Twiglets because they are shaped like spears. Let's ban solid chocolate because it's heavy and therefore increases impact. Let's ban curry because the small minority can't handle it. Let's ban ketchup because it looks like blood.

HSE gone mad if you ask me.
 
I just read this story on the BBC site. The quote is amazing:

A spokesman for the Health and Safety Executive said: "We often come across half-baked decisions taken in the name of health and safety, but this one takes the biscuit.

I think this is absolutely ridiculous.

The school should focus on its behaviour policy and why a food fight was allowed to occur in the first place.
It's a shameful way out of finding a way to make the kids behave properly.

As a teacher, I'm left distinctly unimpressed.

Like many things of this nature it's got nothing to do with HSE, it's all about people using that as an excuse and hiding behind the HSE to try and justify and put weight behind something.

It's about hiding behind HSE because they've got no control over their pupils in the canteen. Shambles.

Where did you go to school, Borstal?

I'd argue square flapjacks are more dangerous as they have an additional edge.

Round would be the best for the risk averse confectionery consumer. :D

This is BS since a circle has an infinite number of edges therefore by your own logic the most lethal of all.

Mind you, triangle is worse since it can penetrate into eyes much deeper.

In all seriousness I have no problem with this. Children need to be taught that sharp things are no joke and can be a lethal weapon. Anyone using a sharp flapjack to maim or kill is a cause for concern. Safe environment should rightfully be the number one priority of a school, the learning is second priority.
