AIBU to think the cardboard tubes from loo rolls are fine for school craft projects?

[RightUpMyRue]

They were asked to bring in cardboard to make instruments. DD goes in with boxes and tubes galore. Her stupid teacher said no loo rolls as they're dirty and unhygienic and she binned them.

OK, they may have been in a poo zone but haven't we all?!

I have heard this , it's elf and safety gawn mad if you ask me.

Oh dear Lord!
I despair!
And no YANBU!

It is to protect your child from the risk of catching something. How do you know someone hasn't had Dihhorea, a sickness bug, Gastroenterist?
I agree with the school on this one.

I thought empty loo roll cardboard whatsits were mandatory for crafty things

YABU. Yuk!

yabu.

I don't want my child handling some stranger poo-ey cardboard! Don't you know that spores of poo fly everywhere in bathrooms?

won't anyone think of the children?

I suppose egg boxes were thrown out too...

My dc doesn't accept loo roll tubes either, kitchen roll ones ate fine but loo rolls are a no, no!

spores of poo do fly everywhere in bathrooms, yes

this is why i insist on a change of clothing every time i even pass by the doorway, you know, just in case

Onehandflapping - they may well be, due to children possibly having egg allergies.

I wear one of these evey time I enter my bathroom

I don't tend to wipe my arse on the cardboard tube

Oh FFS, it's a bit of cardboard generally covered in paper when it's adjacent to the toilet (unless you have an empty roll storage facility next to your loo). Obviously the large number of documented cases of children being struck down by deadly illnesses from handling loo rolls, egg boxes etc means craft activity should be limited to sanitised brand new disinfected materials only.
Common sense & reasonableness is a thing sadly lacking from today's society, unfortunately replaced by DM style hysteria.

give over, would anyone send in a shitey tube?

what about kitchen roll tubes then? they could be harbouring salmonella etc

Apparantly they can be microwaved for a few seconds to get rid of germs, but I'm not sure I want bits of poo being cooked in my microwave.

I thought this had been going on for years? Dss are in comp and they couldn't take them at pre-school.

it's an urban myth, they are perfectly fine

YAB like, so U, even by just taking them into the school building, you have probably infected at least half the children with some terrible poo germ bourne illness, this will be taken home spread to the wider community and I would expect half of your town to be dead by Wednesday.

Obviously they are fine, it is madness, what somebody with the flu had sneezed all over the Weetabix box that some little lovely is currently cutting up? Germ fear has gone crazy.

DD ready for a spot of craft

Tissue boxes could harbour all sorts of horrible snot

not in our house usual

DD would far rather use her sleeve

usual

Just stop craft in schools! A paedophile could hide in a really large cardboard box and jump out at the children! Fgs!
