Yes it's back PC Madness

I guess Konovalov was the first to get the point then, and in chronologic order.

Jewelry are no greater health & safety hazard than a pencil. I would tell you in how many different ways people can kill each other with pencils but that would be a bad idea because of these combined reasons: 1) it's against the rules of the forum, of good behavior and of self-preservation; 2) it would lead to a pencil ban in Britain ; 3) If there's any reason why people aren't already killing each other with pencils it's probably because they don't know how to do it just yet.

So, considering there are hundreds of far more lethal and dangerous objects in a school other than jewelry and little chains (tables, chairs, laptops, electric cords/outlets, lamps, plumbing, doors, alot of glass, removable metal bars, heavy bags, heavy books, stairs/ladders, sport equipment, shoe laces, everything inside the first-aid cabinet, scissors, rulers, compasses, pencil sharpeners, highly toxic ink, ties/random clothing fit for suffocation, illness, germs, bacteria, boredom, useless knowledge, lack of any learning, slower passage of time, indoctrination, brain washing, etc.) there must be another reason (hidden) for the ban other than sheer stupidity: it's the politically correct way of saying "we don't want jewelry in this school, we won't allow you to wear it, but we'll make it sound like it's for your own good while in fact it's only for our own good since you actually want to wear it. How clever we are! You can't possibly disagree, afterall, who would disagree with health and safety? We universalize a particular issue so that in order to impugnate it you have to speak against health and safety as a whole instead of only about this particular case at this school. Fools. As The Noob would say: we pwned you idiots!"*. That's not necessarily the non-politically correct way of saying this, it's just how people who allow such lies to be carried away deserve to hear it.

Of course, the motivation may be something greater than a simple policy of no-jewelry, like preventing law suits as Kono suggests. The malice above still applies either way. This just makes what was bad even worse. It aggravates it. The real motivation is still hidden afterall and presented after being artificially sweetened and falsely fortified with the shield of health & safety, a fortress made out of toothpicks that is menacing enough in appearance to discourage a reaction from the parents of the jewel-less kids.

This school is safe from any lawsuits on the field of health & safety lawsuits alright but it couldn't be more fit for an improbity lawsuit.

*: For futher evidence, and on the same line of the post above me, if the intention was eliminating hazard why would Deputy head teacher P. Jackson state that "we would allow a lapel badge to be worn." considering that this replaces a harmless chain and blunt object for a sharp and far more deadly needle? Sheer stupidity or the direct opposite of it, cleverness: have it your way while making everybody else believe it's for their own good.

You're joking, yes? Sometimes I can't tell on this forum.

You say that health & safety is just a cover. Have you ever been punched by someone wearing a large gold ring? Or had a necklace pulled tight around your throat from behind? There are legitimate H&S reasons to ban jewellery. Of course there are other reasons, the appearance of pupils for example.
Just like any school that requires a uniform, this school is perfectly within rights to be regulating the appearance of its students. Look harder and you'll find school officials are some of the least "malicious" people around.

Bloody hoodies. I think that two year old should have an ASBO put on him.
Disgusting.

I can understand the shop having this ban but to enforce it on a two year old that's just plain nuts.
