Speaking as one who’s endured several ‘procedures’ for cancer of the
scalp, it seems to me the solution for school kids at risk (Slip, slop,
slack, March 31) is two-fold.
As St Patrick’s College rector Neal Swindells says, you plant trees - which
should be selected with expert advice as the best for shade potential with
regard to the micro-climate of each school. But then Swindells says, ‘We won’t
force kids to wear a hat’.
Why not? Because secondary school age kids think hats aren’t cool. But
they’re ‘forced’ to wear uncool uniforms, aren’t they? Shouldn’t the teachers
and parents responsible for their health and welfare require the little
darlings, as part of that uniform and under pain of punishment, to wear hats?
