OMG...I opened this looking at your tags thinging the Snarky Purple Fairy nailed you the way he/she so loves to nail people. I'm thinking you would have a tag that said "found you again, nanner nanner boo boo" or something.


Sorry, let me respond to your actual post...

I agree with Pop Daddy. What's next? Only reading or board games are allowed during recess?

For pete's sake -- they complain are kids are obese and don't play outside enough -- but then they can't run and around and play tag????

It's going to be a generation of weenies.

Unbelievable. Be prepared...dodge ball will be the next form of harrassment.

Wow, ridiculous. Kids can be harassed in just about any situation. It just doesn't seem like a reasonable solution.

I'm gonna guess dodge ball is out and out assault -- not just harrassment.

WTH? That's the easy way out. I mean why can't they (parents and teachers) be turning it into a learning experience and helping the kids with conflict resolution. Just because they're stopping the games doesn't mean the problem is going to go away. It'll just manifest itself in another situation.

It's already banned at my sisters school. I asked her if she even knew how to play and she said no, b/c they're not allowed to play dodge ball at all.

but Tag? COME ON! That has to be the silliest thing I've ever heard. Don't these kids know how to say "I'm not playing" and then just not run?

With a deadly weapon no doubt!

Good grief!!! As long as they're not hurting each other... I would think any child has the right to not play if they don't want to play. (((sigh))) What's next?

Tag was boring anyway...I always liked Duck, Duck, Goose better.

I liked TV tag....doubt that they let you play that, can't encourage TV watching.

Did you play murder ball? That was a good one, or squish the lemon.

That might promote impure thoughts.

I always liked TV tag, too. And freeze tag. And red light/green light. And Mother May I.

Duck duck goose is out because it's hurtful to the goose. You don't want to make the goose feel unwanted.

Four square is out, can't promote a social hierarchy.
