You're right, Bernadette.
The schools are so scared of being sued that they daren't do anything remotely risky, which isn't always a good thing.
It's such a shame.
Everything has to be assessed, approved and a parental consent form filled in before any activity. You can't just spontaneously decide to take a class to the park these days.
It's not the teachers' fault. They're as frustrated by it all as we are.
It's the world we live in.
