Teacher Fired For Letting Pupils Go Sledging

[QUOTE=Negrul1;27353362]what?
sledging is when you get like a plastic or wooden tray type thing and put it on a snowy hill and sit on it so you go down the hill uncontrollably

What a wimp. The best way to slide uncontrollably downhill is to find a parking lot/basketball court/asphault that's frozen over. Walk on every inch of it until you can determine the most slippery patch of ice. Remove that chunk via any means necessary. That is your sled. Now you just have to find a suitable hill and slide. I did that when I was living in Washington. It had snowed a lot, but they didn't close school since it was indoors. All they did was keep using machines to make a big hill of snow (which became ice after everyone started playing on it). There was a basketball court that was frozen over and made my sled out of that. Combined with an ice hill (which was hard, but not impossible to climb) I got ludicrous speed and gained enough momentum to slide halfway across the playground (which was 3 by 2 acres if my memory serves me correctly).

high school is officially gayed up

We aren't allowed to play dodgeball, my gym teacher gets around this by calling it bombardment instead. It's literally banned for us in Philadelphia, all sports with any physical contact to another person or object.

Shouldn't he be able to debate it though?

Maybe the school system should set the first example and put seat belts in school buses, until then, they should shut the fuck up about safety

[Jurikuer]

I bet the hill was no taller than 10 feet and no steeper than 30 degrees. What ever happened to good old fashioned fun?

Meanwhile the rest of the pedophiles and directionless husks of failures that populate the school system keep their jobs.

[QUOTE=SamRinny;27353685]This is such cottonwrapped bullshit. He shouldn't have been suspended or fired.[/QUOTE]

he should have actually been praised for doing something different that kids enjoy, if the kids weren't complaining then the school should have STFU imo

its overprotective bullshit like this than will ruin everything fun eventually.

Through most of the article I thought they were talking about this:

As I'm sure many other American FPer's thought, until they started talking about safety features and a braking system.

But these cases of people getting in deep shit from breaking stupid politically correct rules is getting ridiculous. Now day's you can sue someone for practically anything, unlike back in the day where if you were a dumbass and got hurt you took responsibility for yourself, instead of ruining someones life and making money with a lawsuit.

Hell if they were my kids id be like "did you have a good day son? oh you went sledging? nice hope you enjoyed it! your teacher sounds fun!"

[QUOTE=Bryanrocks0;27354704]Can someone make a greasmonkey script that translates sledging to sledding?[/QUOTE]

var words = {
"sledging":"sledding"};
String.prototype.prepareRegex = function() {
return this.replace(/([\[\]\^\&\$\.\(\)\?\/\\\+\{\}\|])/g, "\\$1");
};

function isOkTag(tag) {
return (",pre,blockquote,code,input,button,textarea".indexOf(","+tag) == -1);
}

var regexs=new Array(),
	replacements=new Array();
for(var word in words) {
if(word != "") {
regexs.push(new RegExp("\\b"+word.prepareRegex().replace(/\*/g,'[^ ]*')+"\\b", 'gi'));
replacements.push(words[word]);
}
}

var texts = document.evaluate(".//text()[normalize-space(.)!='']",document.body,null,6,null), text="";
for(var i=0,l=texts.snapshotLength; (this_text=texts.snapshotItem(i)); i++) {
	if(isOkTag(this_text.parentNode.tagName.toLowerCase()) && (text=this_text.textContent)) {
	for(var x=0,l=regexs.length; x<l; x++) {
	text = text.replace(regexs[x], replacements[x]);
	this_text.textContent = text;
	}
	}
}
