    Sid, the answer to your query is really quite straightforward. It`s all down to "Health & Safety" for the protection of the "elderly" teacher.

    In the UK, as distinct from other countries, there is a fear that when a teacher reaches a certain age there is a rapid decline in their reactions.
    Therefore, once the ability to duck and dive sets in, the poor soul would have absolutely no chance of getting out of the way when being pelted with various missiles by the "students" whilst attempting to "teach".

    So it`s for their own good you understand.

    ( At least, I can`t think of any other valid reason! )
