School bans tag!
Permalink  

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A Colorado Springs elementary school is banning the game of tag on its playground -- after some children complained that they'd been chased or harassed against their will.Assistant Principal Cindy Fesgen of the Discovery Canyon Campus school said running games will be allowed, as long as students don't chase each other.Fesgen said two parents complained to her about the ban, but most parents and children didn't object.

Two elementary schools in the nearby Falcon School District did away with tag and similar games in 2005 in favor of alternatives with less physical contact. Officials at Evans and Meridian Ranch elementaries say that encouraged more students to play games, and helped reduce playground squabbles.Colorado Springs schools are not alone. Schools in Cheyenne, Wyo., Spokane, Wash., and Attleboro, Mass., have banned tag at recess. A suburban Charleston, S.C., school not only banned tagged, but outlawed all unsupervised contact sports.

I wonder which school here does that? It is lame. Teach your kids right and wrong and how to stand up for themselves. But most of all- LET THEM BE KIDS!

I couldn't have imagined growing up without dodgeball and king of the snow hill! Now if you excuse me I have to go put Little A's pads and helmet on her so she can play Barbies....

You LET her play with Barbie- what is wrong with you! Besides the fact that Poopy pick up Barbie was recalled- Barbie is anti girl! UNREALISTIC expectations arise from playing with her. She will SCARRED for life- want bleached hair, fast cars and a man to do everything! QUICK sue Mattel before Little A turns sour!

jakes school hands out agenda notebooks with all the rules and policies...

the only way i can sum it up is that they are so concerned about all the little insignificant things that they won't ever see something big coming....

oh, and i am ashamed to know that it is my generation making issues out of every stinkin' little thing that comes along!
