Today an email was sent to a select few in my office. It was a request. A simple request .. but none the less a bit troubling.
A co-worker said her daughter's pre-school was requesting that folks save the paper tubes from toilet tissue and paper towels. It has apparently been deemed that these items are "safe" for children to use when creating art.
OKAY !! Let's step back a few generations when kids used blunt scissors; ate glue; licked the tempra paints off their fingers and used salmanella laced egg cartons for arts & crafts. WE DIDN'T DIE .... we just built up immunities.
So .. it seems we need to keep things "safe" for today's children ... fine .. seems rational .... except ... Why are we giving them fecal laced cardboard toilet tissue rolls and salmanella laced kitchen paper towel rolls with which to make "safe" art ...?
Just curious..... ummmm, maybe because they have no sharp edges ?!?!?
