So what? I am not talking about any gay person. I am not referring to any gay person. If they want to be offended well it's on them. This does not change the fact you made a personal attack, period.
And they could break a leg playing on the monkey bars. Or break an arm playing teather ball. Kids are going to get hurt at some point. It is part of growing up. Taking prescausions are one thing, taking away games because someone might get hurt at some point? Why don't we have them sit around and sing songs for recess.
Schools here are not the same. Never have been and never will be. You don't seem to understand this.
First lesson of being a parent "kids get hurt" it happens.
Kids do get hurt and that's fine but as a parent I wouldn't be happy if my kid got hurt because of a game he wasn't even part of.
Not all schools have large playing areas and a ball game can take up most of that playing area. When my my oldest went to school in New England they had a very small playground and the grass was out of bounds in the winter/ fall because of the mud which meant they were restricted to the playground and the tarmacked area. If they were to play football (soccer), baseball, dodgeball etc it would of taken up a lot of space forcing the kids who didn't want to play or were afraid of being hit by the ball out of this area. So the school restricted ball games in the winter and the kids found other things to amuse themselves with. After school my son played football with his friends, played on a team at the weekend and the world didn't end.
No one expects you to. You however have to realise it can and does happen.
Our public schools for the most part have large playing area's. Again as I have been trying to say England can't compare to the US. It is smaller, more cramped and has a much smaller population of what? 53,000,000? The US has a population of 300,000,000.
A reasonable comparison in this situation cannot be made.
1.ok it was offensive because you used the word gay in a negative way and i'm sure gay posters on here would take offence.
2. Why is that moronic? An 11 year old me could easily break your nose with a football.
3. What is it exactly I don't understand about schools?
First life lesson for the kids " you can't always do what you want where you want"
I said New Engand....Sorry can't debate with someone who constantly neglects to read the posts. Good day.
You'll need to source that.
Why? Do you deny that more people doesn't increase the chance of something happening?
First of all, it seems that you believe that only or mainly conservatives or religious people homeschool. This isn't really true. While many people do homeschool their children for religious reasons, it isn't always because the parents are religious. It could be that the parents are concerned about the religious influence on a school within a certain area. Or they could have beliefs that are so far away from the norm, that they prefer to homeschool rather than conflict with the school while maintaining their own beliefs.
Second, all sorts of people sue other people for stupid reasons. It isn't just "liberals", despite popular conservative belief.
This is the generation we are bringing up now? Head to a play ground but keep your nose in your iPhone. Dont look around and for sure dont engage in any physical activity.
And if you get hit by a ball, run to mommy and daddy so they can sue the school district.
Circling the drain people, circling the drain.
Only 2 weeks ago there was another similar article and it was a joke this one now seems like its really happening.
Apparently they don't want the boys to have balls of any kind when they leave school, because masculinity is a threat to the Collectivist Vision.
My responce was to some of the other posters and their "play ground experience".Did any of you read the article, or just jump to conclusions?
My point is...did you read the article, or just jump to conclusions?My responce was to some of the other posters and their "play ground experience".
So what is your point?
Your statist tendencies are duly noted. Let's move on.
Did any of you read the article, or just jump to conclusions?
Your dodge is duly noted as well.
So...you have no idea how long this policy will be, the kids are still playing with the harder balls during gym class and the policy was only implemented once construction was going on at the school...but you're going to stick to your original position.Ya, I read the article... And while there is a "justification", this is just another piece in a long trend.
Ahh, good! There it is.Put it this way, when I was in high school
Name them.There's other solutions that could have been made.
There's no dodge, I've discussed this with you and you know where I stand. And for the record, you have fail to prove any of your assertions about law suits. Failed, and until you do otherwise there's nothing more to discuss.
My point is...did you read the article, or just jump to conclusions?
Holy **** your mom is my mom! This woman could give a crap about her own kids but her precious grandchildren are like fine china. Recently I took my daughter and nephew with her to a farmer market and the kids got balloon animals. Well my crazy nephew was messing with his, after I told him to stop, and it popped and he started crying so I told him to suck it up and stop and my mom said and I quote "a balloon popping is traumatizing for a child" a god damn balloon popping!!!!! I am never gonna let her live that down, that is some of the stupidest **** I've ever heard.
And a lot of kids hate math too. Sports are a very important part of education. Especially team sports like football. They teach teamwork, which is a very important skill to have when you enter the workforce.I'll probably be more successful than most of those people. You don't need sports it is bad parenting to stop your kid form playing a sport because you think it is unsafe not because the kid hates sports like I do.
:twisted: Say hello to your new home, whimpy!I do know that football players are all sissies(?).
And the left wing wussification of America continues. When I was in HS we played "kill the man with the ball" in the gym on rainy days for PE class. It was played with basket balls and you aimed for the head, those were the days! :lol:
