My dd (7) brought home a letter from her PE teacher last week saying that she needed to have a gum shield and football boots. This seems totally OTT for a not very sporty 7 year old. Why the gum shield? I am now worried that they are being so dangerous in games that she is in danger of being injured. dd said she wont wear one and will just 'forget' it and the boots to miss the activities they are needed for. Anyone else have to supply these items? Oh, its a state school she's at.
