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?!

With the best will in the world, if you have hundreds of families at a school you have no way of telling how quickly those empty rolls are removed from the bathroom.

Even urine creates a kind of aerosol effect as it leaves the body, so it's perfectly possibly that if not removed and bagged up immediately wee/poo spores could cling to the tubes and be transferred.

It does seem a bit OTT, and I would use my own ones at home as I know they'd been removed from the bathroom as soon as the last bit of paper was used, but I really can see the sense in banning them from schools.

Having endured an 8 day bout of norovirus a couple of years ago I will admit I am a bit paranoid about catching it again.

So are toothpaste boxes banned to incase the toothpaste was stored in the bathroom before use? What about empty bottles of mouthwash or shampoo are they acceptable?

It's rediculous and their is no logic to it at all.

But how will they be able to make these?

And the CHILDREN have also been in the poo aerosol bathroom, and poo actually comes out of them. Yet they're allowed in the classroom

Ooooh when mr maker uses something thats obviously a loo roll, he says "half a kitchen roll". Now i know why. The world has gone mad.

What? Ridiculous. Kids are covered in poo spores.
