They've banned... TAG?!

[Ammer]

Took me to realize what tag was, I thought you were referring to the spray on deodorant or something.

In any case, banning this game is the stupidest idea I've ever heard. And I know stupid, look at the first sentence of this post.

This is ridiculous. I used to play it all the time and I found it FUN. What they're doing is preventing the children from doing something that isn't dangerous or inappropriate but FUN.

I can say because of this, my girls and I have played a lot more tag recently. lol

but your girls are HARD CORE!!! I've seen one of them get smacked in the face with a solid plastic chair/swing and not even cry!!!

Woah...Carny blood in her family tree?

What, exactly, do they expect kids to do during recess?

Why, sit and stare at a brick wall, of course. That's fun.

Of course, little Johnny might dry his eyeballs out and be in slight pain from that. Never mind.

Sure, staring at a brick wall is like party time to these kids today, but you definitely don't want to get involved in one of those lawsuits where they're asking for their eyedrop bills to be paid. After you add in pain and suffering to the Visine bills, we're talking about $40 million dollars here.

If it makes you feel any better, I thought so when I first saw the title, too. I could get behind banning those noxious fumes.

In the situation that you're rubbish at tag, and don't want to play and someone tags you, it's pretty simple.

You just go 'sod this' and don't tag anyone.

Ahhh but Igg, clearly that sort of common sense can't possibly happen with children...

XD That comes from being in a family with four children. Falling and getting bumped does not phase them. They just pick themselves up and move on.

[DM was on fire!]

I thought you were talking about the spray.
That sucks. A lot. I loved playing tag and freeze tag when I was younger.

[On a Rubber Duck]

This idea is just silly.

Kids play
Kids fall
Kids get hurt.

But that's all a part of growing up. Who has a better chance of being happy in life, the pampered, overprotected kid, or the kid roughousing in the dirt?

I know, and at school, this kid gets like 3 cans of that stuff and sprays it all over the lockeroom. It is awful, and he does it all the time. They could and should ban that from ever spraying it in air, or anywhere else for that matter. Especially because little Billy will get bullied and sprayed in the eyes with it like it was mace or accidentally breathed it in on school property and is going to sue the school.

Whatever you do, don't let this kid near an asthma sufferer. We've had a kid knocked out for spraying Axe by an kid with horrible asthma at my high school. Oh, and beware kids with Tag and a lighter.

Unless of course you're in gym class and would lose participation points for it. I remember a lot of the stupid games I was forced to play in gym...bleh. Gym is evil.

Oh, and beware kids with Tag and a lighter.

Or most any other aerosol body spray and a lighter, for that matter. Many a fun time has been had at our high school with makeshift flamethrowers. Never as a weapon, mind you, but I wonder why aerosol body spray hasn't been banned at my school. I guess the students are just good at picking the teachers who don't notice large tongues of flame in the classroom.

Last year, some stupid guy that sat behind one of my best friends on her bus sprayed a lighter with a can of Axe, and he caught her hair on fire. Luckily, another guy in the seat quickly put her hair out. The guy that had the lighter and the can got 3 months in juvinelle hall, but I swear, if I was there on that bus I would've caved his face in. I think school's should be worrying more about things that are serious like that, instead something as stupid as a GAME.

I can't imagine something like that (Tag and lighter) happening at my school, a girl with a knife already slashed another girl a month or two ago, and something like that would destroy our school's reputation as a "safe" school to be at. Then I'd be afraid to go back with all the fights happening now.
