http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/10/07/long-island-middle-school-bans-footballs-other-recreational-items/ I applaud this school district for taking this step. Recess has become a nightmare at some schools. I do not send my child to school to become a football player. He is sent there to learn. Footballs, baseballs, and other hard objects have no place on the playground. |
Except they didn't ban them out of some philosophical belief that children should be pressured to become football players. They banned them because they are afraid a kid will get with one and get hurt.
I don't know any elementary schools in the area with baseballs at recess, just basketballs and rubber kickballs. Jesus, let the kids have some fun. |
Let's also replace pencils with crayons so the kids don't poke out an eye |
Please OP stay in MD and don't move to VA. |
Thanks but I think I will stay here. Don't have my Confederate flag to fly. |
