In England, there’s a school that actually allows the students to self-harm…if they wish to do so.

Officials at a special needs school in the town of Godalming are facing disciplinary action after they gave a student razorblades to cut himself intentionally.
The “controlled self-harm” policy was instituted at the Unsted Park School, which is an education facility for children and teens with Asperger’s and other forms of higher-functioning autism. It was implemented only for a small time in the school last year, but that was enough to cause an uproar among staffers.
According to Gawker:
The unnamed student’s mother was also allegedly involved in designing the policy, which involved providing the pupil with access to sterilized Bic safety razor blades, and escorting them to the bathroom, where they were permitted to cut themselves while teachers waited outside.
The wounds were then cleaned and dressed by staff members.
“This was a short-term, local procedure introduced by the head teacher and school principal who genuinely believed it was in the best interests of the pupil,” said a spokeswoman for the Prior Group, the school’s operator. “However, they accept that the procedure should not have been implemented without further approvals having been obtained from key stakeholders and senior management prior to its introduction.”
The police aren’t investigating, stating that there was no criminal offense.

But the Department of Education released a statement calling the experiment “deeply worrying.” The investigation is now being handed over to the Teaching Agency for review.
The hell is going on in England!? I smell someone about to get fired!
