Trust the News


"Teachers ordered not to risk touching children."

Teacher: can I speak with Ms. Smith.
MS: This is she.
Teacher: Rachel just had a little accident, and until the ambulance arrives, I need your consent to treat her and stop the bleeding.
MS: Sure sure, what happened? Is she OK?
Teacher: She’s losing some blood, so can you please give me your email address so that I can send you the forms so I can touch her.
MS: just go and treat her
Teacher: I am very sorry, but I need a waiver. You see we are restricted by legislation from touching anyone without written consent …

Sounds ridiculous?  Tell it to the good policemen that did not save drowning child, as by doing so he would have violated health and safety regulations.
