I just heard the most ridiculous thing. Putting door handles high enough so children can’t reach them does indeed mean they can’t escape from school. But isn’t it also a fire risk? And if we can’t have doors open on warm days (because the windows are jammed and don’t open anyway, do they ever?) what are we supposed to do? Just swelter in the boiling heat? Turn the classroom into a human greenhouse and then note down the results of our experiment?

And, anyway, aside from this – I have never, ever had a child attempt to make a desperate break for freedom – they’re too busy working their small socks off to make ridiculous government targets and pass another SAT.
