In more extreme cases, schools have done away with recess altogether.

New school policy: Teachers will be issued pillows and duct tape. Prior to recess, children are to be restrained with the duct tape to ensure they do not do anything dangerous like walking. Place the pillows strategically in case a student should fall over...

Educating to the LOWEST common denominator. Public Schools suck and are teaching our children to be good communists and feminists.

Now we wait for the 'Why are our children obese?' story.

And then they'll sit around wondering why kids are getting fatter. Insane!

ATTLEBORO, Mass. - Tag, you're out! Officials at an elementary school south of Boston 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.

How did I EVER make it to 44 years of age?

I'm a freak of nature!!!!

Next time my 3 homeschooled kids - *gasp* - wrestle in the family room (sometimes TOO CLOSE to the brick fireplace!) or rip through the house chasing and tackling each other in various places (sometimes they pass TOO CLOSE to sharp countertop edges!), instead of catching my breath at the near misses and yelling at the miniature herd of elephants, I think I'll just sit down, think of these poor kids in Attleboro, and smile at my own.

It says unspuervised games however, teachers are to be out in the year supervising every recess so isn/t tag now a supervised game?

I wonder what they do to the kids if the kids just played tag anyway...

Hope the country's happy with the "litigation" society we now have. There's a ambulance chasing lawyer behind every tree just waiting for the chance to represent some poor victim in a financial lawsuit.Could be someone who smoked for 35 yrs., got cancer and decided the tobacco companies were the blame or a fat guy who overate at McDonald's and decided to sue Micky D's for making their food too easy to buy. Now it's kids playing tag in a school yard. It may be a free society but these freedoms are getting awfully expensive !!!

They would really scream about playing splits with our pocket knives when I was in elementary school.

"Mass. elementary school bans tag, touch football..."

JFK (not the Frenchman, but the real Irishman) is probably rolling over in his grave.
