I was a Varsity football player in high school and the proud father of two. I do not object to playing tag. I do not object to recess.This school district is not banning play. They are banning what they see as potentially hurtful play. In this increasingly litigious society, they are hedging their bets and taking no chances.That's what they all say as soon as they realize they've lost the argument.This is one school district in one community. Yet you see "cookie cutter kids". You want school districts to have control over their schools. And yet when school districts exert such control, you want to step in and have your say, as if you were a Washington bureaucrat.
If you want your child's education based on what happens on a playground, I contend that your child will be severely disadvantaged in the market, unless you're raising an NFL tailback or linebacker. What happens in the classroom is what counts. And as long as the school teaches science not mythology, reading, writing, mathematics and the arts, there should be no problem.
This is over your head, go bother someone else
I never lost anything, I said we send our children to private schools in order to escape lunacy such as this, they also go to escape it from the classroom also. The left needs to get past this BS that children belong to society, they don't, they belong to their parents. WE will make the rules regarding how they are raised. The left is totally fucked up....the last thing I want is them around the kids spreading their BS
It's the classroom that counts. So long as science, math, reading and writing are taught, where's the problem? Or do you insist on Conservative political indoctrination? Myth rather than science? A white washed version of history? No arts classes?
Let me guess, you hated sports and was always picked last..that's ok but I guess you have never been a parent...
But trust me you will be one day.
Children need exercise ...they need to explore and go out and have fun...
But, this school district made this decision, I assume, on insurance costs and potential lawsuits. Reading more into it, political motivations especially, betrays a mind too shallow or too narrow to conceive of any other scenario. A mind trapped in a narrow political template that dictates one viewpoint over any alternative.
