"We simply can't have tennis balls flying around and kids knocking into parents and babies. People would get hurt otherwise." It seems headteachers, administrators and principals are the same the world over.

Then they are going to bitch and moan the kids are fat.

The Nanny State swoops in to heal the nation’s “owies”. All thank the Nanny State.

And we use to play a game where the point was to throw a football into someones groin.

Why don’t they just keep the children at home so they will be really safe? Wait a minute though, accidents happen in the home too. Why not kill the children so we don’t have to worry about it.

Jeez
Yeah, I cried when I got mauled by 8th graders playing football in the schoolyard. It happened twice; I even called my dad one time asking him to bring me home. But it wasn’t the end of the world, and I had some nasty cuts when I went down.

There’s some stuff you just don’t do.

I have friends who lived in London for several years. They told me about the one school their son attended where they locked the kids OUT of the school when they placed them on the playground. It was because it was a pretty rough school and area and so forth. Unreal.
To: beaversmom
Well, if drugging them into submission doesn’t work, that’ll be the next step.
To: freekitty
Yup! They are nuts, National Union Teachers.

Tennis balls are damned because they’re a safety hazard. But as long as these kids attend Multicult 101 classes and learn to bow down and face Mecca five times a day, everything will be just fine. Britain’s death spiral continues...

This kind of craziness has infected us over here too. The other day a teacher told my son to quit throwing his stuffed animal to his brother. I guess she thought an eye was going to get poked out.
My oldest went to a private school last year. A male teacher of Lebanese descent was letting the boys wrestle around during break. Some idiot parent complained and soon put a stop to that.

Next week we'll be reading how the 15 min. before school are to be spent kneeling on a rug facing east.

And too restless and full of energy in the classroom, no doubt.
Well, now we gotta drug them all with Ritalin.

The UK is no exception.
I weep at the demise of dodgeball. My ideal school would have trees and ropes to climb ... rifle club and scouting ... archery and hatchet throwing.
