nativetexan Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Don't know if any of you guys knew this or not, but here is the update from Fox News Political Grapevine.. You're It! A couple of quick follow-ups to earlier Grapevines. The principal of an elementary school in McLean, Virginia, has rescinded her ban on the game of tag during recess. The Washington Post reports Kent Gardens Elementary Principal Robyn Hooker relented after some parents called the ban draconian — and one student got 160 signatures on a petition and planned a playground protest demonstration.

stevebeilgard Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 someone needs to inform that principal that recess is for fun and exercise, and that maybe children should pick whatever game they like. it sure would be nice to put some common sense back into our leadership, at all levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nativetexan Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I've always kept in the back of my mind that the people that are making these decisions are the ones that when they were young were: 1. Picked on or bullied 2. Never picked for sports or when they were, were "poor sports." Thinking back, this is why our coaches never got along with school admin. Or at least maybe part of the reason.

johnf Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I was small and unathletic. I stunk at sports and always got picked near the end or last. I seemed to have a target on my head when playing dodgeball. I make more money then those guys did teaching band and growing more band nerds who will make more money then the obnoxious kids of today.
