I think the 'no blackboards' is a health and safety thing. Too much dust for asthma sufferers.
Baa Baa White Sheep

Baa Baa white sheep,
Look over there.
See all the nanny goats
Going to the air.
With white coats and white tails,
And white curly hair,
See all the nanny goats going to the fair.

nanny is ageist...
i thought 'black' was the latest pc word ... so what's the problem?
Nanny is a female goat.



I worked in a haberdashers in the early seventies and we had to relabel reels of thread called a particular shade of brown too, this is nothing new.


Re the 'Black Sheep' - black here is more than a colour rather an indication of dark deeds done against society and the family not any reference to a person's colour.

definitely a health and safety issue, teach could do some serious damage throwing a blackboard rubber at an unruly pupil at the back of the class
They had a good aim didn't they ?
Didn't they just Mamya, Mr Markham my old maths teacher had an uncanny knack of working away with his back to you then spinning on his heels and launching the blackboard duster at you, i know, I took many a clonk on the nut. Lol. X
