School bans whistle as "too aggressive"

From The Sunday Times.

Staff at St Monica's Catholic primary in Milton Keynes must raise a hand in the air to mark the end of playground breaks.

Christianity is under attack

Social Justice Yes!

Haha, we've done that at my school since the bell broke. It's works well but obviously takes a minute or two for the children to notice.

No no, they'd just ban any form of competition because if someone loses they'd have their feelings hurt.

Anyone in Milton Keynes should be brought up to be less sensitive than others to noise, as next year their franchise FC football club will hear a lot of noise when AFC Wimbledon visit.

I am so glad I left primary/secondary education just before it started going downhill.

It would be funny if it wasn't for the fact that these institutions are supposed to help prepare kids for adult life. For this reason, it's tragic when these cases come about. They're doing such a disservice to the kids.

These are the same places that hand out 'you tried' medals.

The triggering is real y'all.

Oh dear.

And how many are really going to take notice of that? As someone with sight problems, (I do have hearing problems too; but I hear better than I see) a noise is better for me than a visual prompt.

I really doubt this is leftist/progressive thing as this is a Christian school.

Its just that I can already feel the approach of an orgy of self-righteous indignation about PC culture or whatever and I don't think this is the right target.
