someone has designed a new untippable school chair so that children can't tip themselves backwards when rocking - why can't they just properly in their chairs ffs ?

Quite.

pregnant schoolgirls - sod sex education, why can't they just keep their legs crossed?

mass murderers - no need for prisons, why can't they just keep their hands to themselves?

swinging on my chair kept me awake in History

at a friends ds school a child was recently attacked with a chair-im sure if they were the non tip ones it still would have hurt..maybe they should do away with classrooms and have padded cells

Really good invention and much needed!

DS2 is Dyspraxic and swinging on his chair is what he does best at school. After a recent epic visit to A&E to get his forehead stitched up (corner-of-a-table-sized hole in his head from toppling forwards after he had swung back) I was delighted to hear of the untippable chair. "Just sitting properly" is a major achievement for some kids.
I think (may have imagined it) that some school was sued recently following a kid tipping backwards onto one of those old giant radiators, which may have increased interest from schools in these chairs.

fair enough for dyspraxic children or other special needs
