RE: [teacherartexchange] Permission to use tools - parent form

Ok..........this is a perfect time for me to ask this question. Do you
think a GOOD group of 6th graders (I'm in a private school and there's
really not a discipline problem in the bunch) are old enough to use
little exacto knives?
Thanks,
Shannon

When the Industrial Arts teacher has parent permission then I will too.
There is an implied permission granted when students sign up for
classes. As
long as the tools are age appropriate and students have been instructed
in
their use then you should be protected. And if you are a member of NEA
then
you have that protection if your district fails to back you. I would be
careful about getting permission forms for regular classroom tools -
even
pencils can cause injury when not used properly.
