I saw this on the news this morning and I already saw the video posted by a friend on Facebook. It’s a topic that I wrote about a few years ago in my post, Recess Is So Boring Anymore:(
My feeling on this is that kids need to be kids, yes, they will get hurt sometimes, it’s inevitable, but for the love of the guy above, banning all sport balls???
Watch the video below that aired on CNN this morning and see what you think.
Do I think this is going to far? YES
Do I think it’s ridiculous? YES
Have my kids gotten hurt at recess? YES
Did I sue the school and the family down the street because my kid was pushed by his friend and twisted his ankle? NO
Do I protect my kids from every little thing that MIGHT happen? NO
My goodness, schools around the country are following suit with their recess rules and it’s driving me bananas. They are ruining the one thing that the kids actually look forward to everyday.
I used to run out of school after lunch to be the first one on the monkey bars. Today, the kids have to walk slowly to the texting table to have a little fun.
This mom refuses to raise her kids in a bubble and have them grow up to be a bunch of pansies. For goodness sake, have families sign waivers that states, “what happens at recess, stays at recess” to cover your a**.
Instead of banning balls, these schools need to grow some!
I am one irritated MommyWarrior today, can you tell?
