Do you have a handbook it's covered in? Your contract might then reference the handbook.
No handbook.

Firing folded over paperclips from elastic bands was our thing. Bloody lethal things those were.
They are shoes and I work in a call centre. My feet at all times are under a desk when not in the business. When I say white I mean light shoes not pure white. They are just shoes. Crying over spilt milk comes to mind. I did go home though and followed the orders of the gods.

Can you imagine what would happen today. School would probabally end up being raided by an ARU CW Police Helicopter...
Tag or 'it' was recently banned at my son's primary school as well and a few of the kids have got 'yellow cards' for chasing each other with the teachers thinking they were playing 'it'. I was telling my son about playing British Bulldog when I was a kid and he couldn't believe it!
Tell her to ignore the stupid rules. They will never justify any real punishment for holding hands and clapping lol
It's the softy teachers who need a telling off. I'm guessing they are quite young and part of generation ****flake. Get angry and properly chew them out, make them cry. They clearly need introducing to the real world.
My school used to do bonkers stuff like sailing and judo. If you think judo was the dangerous one, you want to see what happens when you sail a racing dinghy at speed across a reservoir in a thunderstorm. Oh, and the time we took a half a dozen dinghys through Harwich harbour, the busiest container shipping port in the UK.
Today's health and safety would have a heart attack over some of the stuff we did in boats.
I did this too and that was in the 00s, it's a very modern thing where these things are being banned.We did man hunt at cubs/scouts too.
Didn't anyone have some black polish?They are shoes and I work in a call centre. My feet at all times are under a desk when not in the business. When I say white I mean light shoes not pure white.

In my adult life no one has ever shouted at me, chewed me out, made me cry in terror. I'm not sure how this would benefit anyone. Unless the real world you live in is a **** hole, in which case I guess you're part of the problem.

I have no desire to become a belligerent in WW3 here, or to dictate to anyone that they are right or wrong, but I think that I can see where Nasher was coming from.
I don’t think for one minute he was advocating REALLY making the teachers cry, he was probably over accentuating what he thought should be any parent’s reaction to this tosh.
My kids are adults now, and my youngest grandkid is 11, so this has never affected me, or my grandkids, but if it had, I think that either I, or my sons, would have gone nuts, and have torn the offending teacher(s) a new one.
I think that “making them cry” is a euphemism, or verbal evasion, for ensuring that the person(s) you are heaping opprobrium on, is totally aware of the depth of your feeling on the subject.
