UK man can't high five kids without being acused of pedophilia

There you go.. I was right..

Crossing guard - Wikipedia

 

Shit job though

 

I wouldn't do it..

 

Ugh...I woke up one morning and it was paedogeddon

 

Lol

 

I heard kids in the UK can't have best friends either, so...nothing surprises me.

 

Well it started in a private school in London, and spread to the US.. can you actually see that working, or even being possible?
I can't, especially in the north of England!

 

No, and I also don't understand the point. Based on the article I read the argument seems to be this: Kids shouldn't have one a friend; they should have a group of friends. And I couldn't agree more. It's important for social development. But when I was in school, I had a best friend and a group of friends. Still do. It's even the same best friend. So, it's weird to me, because it seems to be based on the pretense that someone's best friend is their only friend.

 

Imaginary friends are banned to - can lead to schizophrenia

 

Mine always seem to show up when I have pot!

 

This has been happening moe and more recently.

However, your post reminds me . . . in the UK, crossing guards are called 'lollipop ladies and lollipop men' because they hold up a sign whose morphology resembles a popular sweetmeat. However, does that little kiddie title really confer the sort of dignity these oldsters might well seek? Why not call them crossing guards which is generically what they are. I noticed when I worked in Britain that tons of things had nicknames from primary school days - it was a bit confusing at first

However, this doesn't undrmine your key point in any way - you're right, dude
