Wow catapults in the classrooms, years ago it was common practice, an elastic band around two fingers, firing a piece of ink sodden blotting paper was common practice in the classroom of yesteryear.

They will soon be discovering that chemistry lessons, wood work lessons and domestic science lessons are far too dangerous for our children.
Think of all those lethal chemicals, those very sharp wood work tools, not to mention those very hot pans, irons, and extremely sharp knitting and sewing needles.

When I went to school it was quite a dangerous undertaking. To get to the school we had to pick our way through an alley bordered by brick walls topped with concrete in which was embedded shards of glass. When we arrived at the school it was surrounded by an iron fence which had the uprights adorned with a spear point. The playground surface was covered with cinders with a grit of about 10. The interiors of the still standing bomb shelters were booby-trapped with broken bottles and other menacing discarded items. Also the nuns had all taken a course in the lethal use of the ruler. The majority of us survived.
aog - that has already happened - A level biology - we had to be able to dissect out arterial and nervous systems of rats, dogfish etc - this they don't do now and prospective doctors only start using a scalpel in seriousness at the 1st year of Uni - a bit late to find out if you have/or have not the necessary knife skills. I would suspect that Sqad would go bananas over this.
Incidentally, our trek to school was fraught with danger in the respect that we had to find our own way there and back by walking, busing, or biking: I never saw any anxious parent lurking around the gates or rumbling vehicles awaiting to engorge us and whisk us safely home. I think that we all survived and repeated the same arduous foray the very next day.
