On 11 August the head of Blåbjergskolen in Nørre Nebel in western Denmark sent a message on Aula, the Danish school intranet, telling parents that children under ten should not be out alone. Pupils are asked to walk in groups and to sing on the way. The recommendations follow guidance from the Danish agency for green land use and water environment, issued because a so-called problem wolf has been moving through the area. In the preceding week a wolf walked into three private gardens where children were, and days later it was seen near a family restaurant a few kilometres from the town.
The head, Lene Korsgaard, says she is deliberately not whipping up a mood, and that pupils and staff are calm about it. A seventh-grader put it this way to DR: it is fine that the school wants to look after them, but people should remember that they are not prey, and that you keep your distance from a wolf in the same way you do not feed red deer.
So…:
What have you started writing rules about that never needed rules before?
