So.. if they are so dangerous why didn't the school use safety precautions?
A school would legally have to over here in the U.K to cover their asses just in case a student had a reaction to them.

Maybe you are talking about different oil pastels?.... because the ones that I have always used or seen being used have NEVER been dangerous enough to warrant gloves or anything!
At my school the rep from Windsor & Newton came and straight up told us that it was the worse shit to use and extremely dangerous. That's where I learned it, so I guess it wasn't really from my teacher either.

I am talking about oil pastels. There are also non-toxic ones, but they aren't the same quality.
