I'd like to see how long it takes for teachers to just ignore the rules because they have to deal with overactive kids in the classroom all afternoon

I've got it!

Just put every kid in a bubble, pipe in all their nutrition and mental stimulation. 100% controlled, no risks. Done right, this will also make them completely submissive gerbels for the government to control.

Yeah, that'* the ticket...

I have this problem with my 7 yr old daughter'* mother. She babies her over every little scratch. I got a call one day last summer after she went back to her mom'* and she was like "you have to be more careful with her" because her knee was scratched up. I was like "f*** that, she is a kid and she is gonna play and she'* gonna get hurt, that'* life."
I was hurt all the time when I was growing up, but I lived. I broke my foot once and was skateboarding 1 week later.
Kids are wusses now a days.
I say let em beat the crap out of them selves and each other and they'll be better for it when they are older.
