what mess is the country in plz?
In the kind of mess where kids are not allowed to run in playgrounds. Where teachers have to wear protective glasses to write on blackboards (Except you aren't allowed to call them blackboards) Where you can't take a camera into a nativity play. Where you are held responsible for your kids behaviour, but you're not allowed to smack them. Where I can't pick up litter in my village because I don't have insurance....
our definitions of mess are different. i went to a nativity play yesterday and everyone had cameras btw

This is just my definition for this discussion.
Nativity plays are great fun. (excruciating fun sometimes) Who did you go to see?
Any pics?

Teachers are being trained, by an anti bullying charity, to 'not interfere' when one child beats up another one. They are to wait until the incident is over and then deal with it. This is to protect against law suits.

As with Reds post, it's not like that in most places.
Teachers have specifically had it clarified that they can physically restrain pupils, and legally there's no other way they can do it.
If any LEA is instructing teachers not to intefere until after a fight has finished then they're leaving themselves wide open to being sued for neglecting their 'duty of care' to the pupils - and that is a far, far stronger legal standpoint then anything that could arise from restraining a pupil in any way.

Why do people need to be warned to be careful on a slippy surface?
This mentality is why the country is in the mess it's in. Someone successfully sued our local authority after climbing a fence and falling into a pond on a wildlife reserve.
His argument? "The fence wasn't high enough to prevent me climbing over"
Wasn't there a case in the US where a woman sucessfully sued a furniture showroom because she fell over some children who were running about and injured herself and they were actually her own children?
There is also legal precedent in the UK that people have a duty of care for themselves. In theory this should stop most of the stupid claims, but I know it doesn't always get used by either the defence or the courts.

As a lot of the American justice system was based on ours you would think that they had the same approach. Ridic that they don't appear to.

It's ok, the chances of us having enough to pay you out are zero.
