Just to redress and discuss "political correctness" and its accomplices "Elf and Safetits."
With some dropped jaw - I made the mistake of picking up the tabloids over coffee with doughnuts the othr morning and read about
1. The school who decided to hold some staff jolly in Spain - leaving closing the school early in the essential learning curve of a new academic schoool year
This was called off following an outcry from the parents - but still paid for from school funds
alllegedly
2, Then I wasted
what was a really good cream and jam filled doughnut by almost choking on it as I then read about the school which has scrapped all homework and related tests which require the seven year olds to .. er .. learn how to spell - on the grounds that it is "far tooo distressing" to expect a child to memorise some basics.
Of course - it is frustrating when you spelled the words correctly to Mum and Dad .. and then forget when tested in class... but hey - that's part of life. Wildy
frequently got marked down, served out many a detention for "not bothering to learn her spelling and talking in class" - but apart from a tendency to type words as they sound to her - it does not seem to have caused much "negative effect" as regards the rest of her education.
Making excuses then is not only patronising - it feeds that "sense of failure" and an inability to learn or wish to learn more.
But then we came to Poliically Corrects pals "elf and safetits"
4. Cast your minds back to a tragedy whereby an estranged husband shot dead his ex-wife and her sister. The politically correct decided to allow bail the man - with a history of violence. (As they did with a certain policeman who took his own life after murdering his mother-in-law whom he believed to be the main witness for the prosecution case against him at the time
.. and as they did with the thug who kicked to death a man in Warrington - just because he asked him and his pals not to damage his wife's car
) .
Risk assessment of actual danger comes when deciding just how dangerous a person may be .. and should be based on the material evidence the police actually provided with THEIR recommnedation of remand in a very objective review of public safety and interests at the time.
But no.. we (police) got hammered in the press by preventing the paramedics from treating the sisters as we needed to 100% sure of their safety. Such healthy abd balanced consideration was Health and Safety as opposed to their pretend "wannabes" of Elf and Safetits.
Elf and Safetits undermine Health and Safety and the fabric of healthy lifestyles to a despairing degree of bleak future ahead and obliteration of tried, tested and true common sense and traditional fun as enjoyed by our culture throughout history.
4. If I wish to play conkers - I have to wear safety goggles and wrist padding less the conker split.. blind me and break my wrist
(It seems a Cumbrian school is the culprit for the war on conker championships.
)
5. Such daftness has been played out by the zealots and the ambulance chasers who have created fear of childhood games in case of injury and also a fear of "proper risk assessment"
In fact - we now have folk scared of allowing their child to walk to school - let alone bicycle ... just in case some camera toting adult pops out from behind a lamp post and takes their photo!
Such is the level of paranoia that school foreign language "exchanges" are out of the question as the French/Geman/ etc family need to be CREB checked
. So far this has not become a requirement for the now "obligatory sleep over at the best schoolpal's house"
6. Which leads us to David Cameron's rant that teachers are no longer allowed to place a plaster on a child's grazed knee. A result of the fear culture which makes any adult male or female wary of touching any child in their care or within sight - lest the word "abuse" is screamed at them in a shrill voice with pointing fingers
7, Elf and Safetits appear to be the only growth area in a now failing economy. There's money to be made in it. >banghead: For example - the Catholic church in Surry which has to pay £1300 in scaffolding each time a light bulb needs changing. In the many years of its history with electric lighting - no priest or monk has been killed changing a bulb there.
Or what about the old dears who have Meals on Wheels services. Paper napkins are "out". The old dears may mistake them for "food and choke on them"
We then have the parent who turned up at the local swimming pool with her three children. She was refused entry because she could not give each child "one-to-one" constant supervision The pool claimed the Instutute of Sports management had advised them... and they charge each sports facility a whopping £255 for a Opertating Procedures Manual and £235 for the Risk Assessment book - plus a few thousand for in situ advice plus umpteen equally expensive courses.
Yep... Elf .. Safetits .. Greeny cults and whims. Rather lucrative businesses and sadly the only ones now making money and profit
I am waiting for this industry to go from boom to bust .. and perhaps then I can make my millions by selling "common sense"
