Toronto school bans most balls from playground.

Even a nerf ball can hurt if thrown hard enough. Especially to the head.

This is so freaking retarded. They want kids to get more exercise, yet you limit what they can do in fear that they'll get hurt. Might as well ban gym altogether because, hey, a kid could get hurt running. Or all sports like baseball, basketball because a kid could get hurt. They're setting an extremely bad example for these kids. People already hate exercise; it's not fun. Take away activities where kids do get exercise then they'll never want to exercise.

If they couldn't get the kids to stop throwing balls in the wrong direction, like towards the daycare, then you should be punishing the child(ren) who disobey like not being allowed to play during recess.
 
Yeah, I think that's a little extreme. They also mentioned that its actually always been a policy, just never enforced. I wonder how many other schools have this policy already. I've got two years until my son is in Kindergarten. I sure hope they don't ban running by then. =/
 
that is so messed up they just keep taking and taking from these kids its sad

Keep that political crap out of the general discussion. You should honestly be unable to post here if that's all you ever talk about.

Yes mom! even though politics are at the roots of virtually everything that happens on this planet, ill be a good boy and behave. dont want you crying in your oatmeal. :peace:
 
If they really want to keep their kids safe, maybe they need padded cells for them all. :rowfull:
 
It is ridiculous! I remember playing as a kid and getting all kinds of scrapes and skinned knees. I survived and I have a lot of great memories!
 
We should make the kiddies wear crash helmets, knee and elbow pads, safety nets around every playground, and certain weights and controls to make sure one kid doesn't outperform the other kid, or thought police to ensure junior doesn't offend junior 2.

Jesus Peter Clemenza Christ what's this fucked up society coming to?
 
Well, ....who started this policy?

What political persuasion are they?
What do they believe?

Do they believe in political correctness, or are against it? (Obviously they do.)

Are they Rush Limbaugh fans or hate him? (He railed against this story, so we can assume they're not fans of him or his belief's, which happen to be conservative.)

Nothing happens in a vacuum.
 
Good for them, we need to keep our staff and students safe. Now we need to ban playgrounds.

Will someone please think about the children????!!

Liberalism, conservatism, realism - who cares what kind of -ism it is, the point is that it's freakin' stupid. And what's this bullshit about a small, walled playground? Of course someone's gonna get hurt. Plan your surfaces a bit ahead of time and let the kids have some space, jesus christ!

Ew, don't even joke. lol. They actually did that back in BC for awhile. Only someone decided that wooden playgrounds were unsafe, so they tore them all out and replaced them with metal and plastic ones. :crazy:
 
Let's at least get to what's really behind it. It's not about liberalism and it's not about worrying about the children. It's about fear of getting sued! That's behind a lot of the nonsense that's going on in the schools. And of course, there are people out there who look for every excuse to sue.

Stupid people are horrible, horrible liabilities. If Natural Selection was applied to modern society, half of our population would have died from sticking forks in outlets.

Can you really blame 'em?
