People sure do over react about every little thing now a days. If a kid hiccups too much, they have you pick up from school and take them home. My daughter banged her head on the playground last week. There was no bump, bruise, blood or anything. I actually got a phone call from the school nurse to let me know, and a note home. When I was a kid, if it could be bandaged you went back to class and got to explain to your mom why you had bandages when you went home.
Now, I don't blame the schools per se. They are terrified to get sued if anything happens. I blame society in general, with our over use of warnings and protecting against any tiny little thing. You can't cushion everything, can't prevent everything that could possibly cause harm. Kids will get hurt. It's how they learn not to do that again.
