what ever happened to kids being allowed to take foot balls in to school!!!!!!

my son  has just got in to foot ball and so as u do we brought him a football.  He went to scool all happy and was told at the schools gates he cant take his foot ball in for health and safety rules.

what is the world coming to when ther not even allowed to take their own ball in to school!!!!!

I work in a secondary school and the kids are allowed footballs there. Think it's down to the Head Teacher, every school have there own rules. Why not go in and ask the head why footballs have been banned. At another school where I worked footballs were allowed but only on the field away from windows.
