The lip balm thing is obnoxious as shit. Constant interruptions for kids applying, borrowing, or requesting lip balm. But banning it? C'mon, school bean counters and beuracrats, do you really have nothing better to do? And now, as distracting as lip balm was, now teachers in that district are going to have to be lip balm police. Thank god I'm in the union, too: I can foresee teachers facing disciplinary measures before the end of the school year for not enforcing the lip balm ban stringently enough.
