What the fuck are people thinking???? We are by nature......very competitive!!! We compete for jobs, school, sports, food, games, and in everything in our lives including sex!!! Tag is like the hallmark of all competition games, and it is harmless.........if you don't want to play.......you go somewhere else on the playground. To the kids that were complaining........oh you just wait to later in life.......you are in for a rude awaking!!! To the school officials that banned tag.......our tax dollars would be better spent on your unemployment checks!!!
Have adults forgotten what it's like to be children? You can't sanitise growing up. It's healthy playground behaviour to make other children feel 'harrased'. It's a life lesson. Genrally the children will have forgotten how annoyed they were ten seconds later.
Schools should focus more on educating, and less on controlling the youth. How dare they be young and carefree.
It's the Mr. Rogers effect. He told us that EVERYONE was special, when, in fact, not everyone is, and so everyone wants special treatment.
And you know, banning anything competitive will make they begin to wonder why it is that they did not make it into Harvard with their 2.213 GPA...
Competition? what?

Yay! You leave Mr. Rogers ouf ot this; that man was wonderful. You can attack Elmo if you want....but leave Big Bird out of this too (we have the same birthday )
I remember when I was in elementary school and the game to play was Smear the Queer, (we were only kids, none of us knew what 'queer' meant so don't start). Basically, the game's played out in the fields with the whole school. There's probably one, maybe two balls, and it's pretty much every kid for himself. Object of game: last the longest running with the ball without being tackled by the whole school. Everything went in that game: tripping, hitting, fishhooking, kicking, biting, clotheslining, just so you could smear the kid with the ball and steal it from him. Man those were the days.. Course all the parents started to worry about their kids coming home all bloody and bruised, so it was eventually outlawed. Sad cause it was so much fun!
Kids are being turned into whiny little brats who don't know how to back up their words with actual physical force..
