I was sickened how society prevents children from growing up or learning how to
cope with life. That is until I read about Lenore Skenazy

Good morning Martina,
I've been following the various replies, and I agree wholeheartedly with the
sentiments expressed about stupid attempts to reduce risk to zero.
We all have our favourite stories, but I think that these examples will top the
list. I understand that one of the largest mining
reason these sundials are being banned,
and it better be a good one.

Martina:
Do you have any documentation (letters, newspaper articles, policies, etc)
that show these decisions? I can't find a reference on the web.
Thanks!

Hi Martina,
How about contacting the Health and Safety Executive (think that is what
they are called). I have heard that they get a bit annoyed with being used
as reasons for not doing things. They sponsored the conker championship
after people were saying it was too dangerous for children. Ask

Dear Reinhold,
You write...
Create a wall of shame with lots
of funny comments...
Your story is full of drama. There is
good news...
...Herr Kriegler sei der beste Lehrer an
der Schule...
Then the bad news...
...da hatte dieser Satz die Wirkung eines
Stichs in ein Wespennest.
So
It has little or nothing to do with controlling the students, or even concern
over their welfare. It all comes down to liability.
Should some child be injured in a schoolyard scuffle, or 20 years later develop
a skin cancer, some shyster lawyer WILL find a way to hold the school
responsible!
Those are utter rediculous reasons for not having an analemmatic sundial at school. Do these schools have no control or supervision over their students? It is great to get students outside to learn. Many people learn better by hands-on-learning. I had planned to make an analemmatic sundia
worried the dial would provoke fights over using it, or just because
it was there.
These sorts of things.

Did any of the schools ever mention what the danger is of an
analemmatic sundial?
