Conkers culprit confesses

摘要

The headteacher who made pupils wear goggles while playing conkers has admitted to starting the myth. In an article published in The Guardian on 9 December, Shaun Halfpenny said that a child had originally asked if they could wear goggles.rnHe said his decision to alert the media to the story was "tongue in cheek", and that it was largely during the 1980s and 90s Tory administrations that the health and safety culture was brought to bear in schools.
