“CNN is carrying a story about a school in Boston which has have banned kids from playing tag, touch football and any other unsupervised chase game during recess for fear they’ll get hurt and hold the school liable. According to the article, some elementary schools in other states have similarly banned “unsupervised contact sports”. A parent was quoted as saying that her son feels safer now and that she’d witnessed enough “near collisions”.”
I’m all for “safety first” and all… but TAG??? what kind of kids are they planning on raising? “horseplay” is a part of growing up. Soon they’ll ban basketball because it’s too “racy”, and baseball because it promotes swinging a weapon-like object. There’s a line when it comes to safety, and tag is nowhere close to it. really, banning a playground sport because people are _almost_ getting hurt.
Is this a public school? I guess they’ve decided that they don’t need funding from taxes anymore, since they’re clearly going way outside the norm of what is acceptable for a public school.
i bet they still let the popular kids call their chubby classmates “pigs” and piss on their belongings.
oh wait, i bet this isn’t catholic school…

Yeah, pretty much anything goes at those sketchy places.
Tag is the best game ever. This is a damn tragedy. People are stupid. ;_;
