I wonder how the Internet has affected safety culture in schools. I can do a simple search and get all kinds of crazy school stories-- and then use those to justify any rules I want, if I had happened to be a school administrator.
- marvin 17y agoWe joke about this in my flying club. The official rules say "safety first"...but if safety really came first, we would be at home watching TV. Life is dangerous. It is important to take controlled risks, so that you can learn what risks are acceptable and which are not. Besides, perfectly safe translates to perfectly boring. Adventure and fun always come with an element of stress and danger.
