<><> With all due respect, I think I'll have to disagree with this
[ignoring painful thumb]

So will I.

But Jay has played and dealt with students for some time now, and I
doubt that he meant his post to say what it appears to have said. It's
OK to tell a child "Don't make a big thing of it" when you're removing a
splinter or applying iodine to a scrape, but pain should not be blindly
ignored --- especially when it is persistent or there's no obvious
external injury.

Cheers,
Bill
