CLAPPING has been banned at a Sydney primary school which has introduced “silent cheering”, “pulling excited faces” and “punching the air” to respect students who are “sensitive to noise”.

FFS, where is the rocket ship to get off this fucking rock. I don't wanna live here anymore.

"Instead of clapping, the students are free to punch the air, pull excited faces and wriggle about on the spot."

That seems a much worse idea than clapping. A good way to get kiddies into fights with each other, what the fuck is wrong with clapping? To protect those sensitive to noise. Fucking pussies.

Seems hugging is also banned in some schools.

Autistic kids flip out sometimes bc of overstimulation/loud noise. Don't know enough about the school to judge.

Ay, Australians, is it normal for the school day to start at 9am there? Jealous af.

Good, claping is stupid

Imagine if they'd ask them to do the robot instead. Would pay to see that.

Is 9am considered late somewhere?

Guess they need designated safe zones for clape triggers

They should have designated clapping areas. And a designated clapper.

autistic kids should be kept in the closets where they belong. No point in bringing them to the assembly.

American schools normally open between 8:00 and 8:30, so teachers and staff normally get in around between 7:00 and 7:30. Pain in the ass.

Now that I think of it, I've interviewed at multiple schools where the school day starts between 7:30-7:45 and teachers are in the building by like 6:45.

Designate them as clappers.

When I was in primary school the day would start between 8-10am depending on the day of week, but I guess teachers would start their day always at the same time. Probably at 8am. The length of day would also vary between 4 and 6 hours.

In "high school" the day could start as late as noon, but that really depended on how your courses were arranged and it wasn't that common. The day could be 2 to 8 hours long, but I think 6 hours was the most common.

I learned to mistrust these Pussification of Society articles when i found out the coffee in that "lol-woman-sues-mcdonalds-cos-her-coffee-was-hot" was actually so hot it fused her labia together

tee-hee.

vaginas.

There's an insensitive joke that's eluding me for some reason here.

"Fused labia? What a pussy!" or something like that.
