At least the Aussies call them state schools. None of this "public schools" rubbish.

Thank God I’m through with child rearing,and my grandkids aren’t really children anymore either.

Some of these people should have been kids in the 40s like I was. You have no idea! :-)

Exercise is dangerous for children, we must stop them from exercising. Next we need to institute studies on why they are getting fat.... sarcasm

“...officials banned unsupervised playground cartwheels and handstands to prevent injuries.”

Which will, of course, result in a proliferation of cartwheels and handstands.

Wow. Try enforcing that in the hood, where kids like to play “zipper” on the swings. Yep, they actually alternate swinging back and forth with the kid next to them while one kid stands on the side then runs through the swings like a zipper trying not to get hit. Of course, the kids on the swings always speed up or slow down to try and catch him.

I fell out of bed when I was 3 and I slept on the floor for 15 years.

I choked on an M&M once. From then on, Mom would only give me an M.

Girls doing cartwheels was often the best part of recess for many young boys.

Time to end flatulence. This does contribute to global warming, it is dangerous to the other peoples lungs. So let’s outlaw this as well in public schools, as well as smoking..

Bubble wrap and sedation. Children won’t be “safe” until they eat nothing, drink nothing, sitting there wrapped in bubble wrap and sedated with drugs.

These “Panzie Parents” need an ass kicking.

You have to ban running, too. Thousands of children fall down or run into things while running.

“the “silly rule” is designed to suck all of the fun out of school”

School? Fun? When I was a kid, I hated school with a passion. Recess and lunch didnt make it any more palatable. It certainly didnt put “fun” into school. The less time I had to spend inside the school building, the better.
