Myth: Adults can’t put plasters on children’s cuts:
“We’ve often heard of teachers, volunteers and carers being told to ask parents for permission, or even requiring parents to drive over and put the plaster on themselves. This persistent myth causes a lot of unnecessary hassle and worry.
There is no rule that says a responsible adult can’t put a plaster on a child’s minor cut. Some children do have an allergy to normal plasters. If you know a child is allergic you can use the Hypo-allergenic type of plaster. The important thing is to clean and cover the cut to stop it getting infected.”

‘Conker canker’ outbreak – icWales: May 18 2008 by James McCarthy, Wales On Sunday
“IF HEALTH and safety killjoys don’t stop kids playing conkers first - a highly contagious plant disease might.
Half of the nation’s two million horse chestnut trees have ‘conker canker’ which makes the trunk split and ooze sap.
Trees can be wiped out in just two years and there is no known cure.
The Forestry Commission’s plant health head, Roddie Burgess, said: “This is an unknown bacteria and at this stage we have no idea how it got here, why it affects certain horse chestnuts and not others, or how long it takes to kill a plant.””

TES – Teaching jobs, resources & ideas from the Times Educational Supplement: “Some say boxing is a knockout sport for promoting discipline, wellbeing and self-confidence, but it has many critics
In an age when school trips and even games of conkers are being curtailed for fear of injury, boxing, the ultimate contact sport, seems to buck the trend. In its Fifties heyday, thousands of boys boxed at school, but the practice largely died out in the Sixties. Since then, schools have baulked at the idea of legitimising violence, but an increasing number (4 per cent nationally) have found that it promotes discipline, wellbeing and self-confidence – in line with the Government’s respect and healthy schools agenda.”
