Games banned from School Playgrounds!!!

What will they think of next??
I mean really in truly why would games such as Dodge ball, tag, soccer and touch football be banned from school yards?? Run around a field tagging people? What are they thinking, they could scrape their knee. Dodgeball was banned because of safety issues and injuries that are sometimes involved in the game. Throw a foam-filled ball at another student to get them “out?
These were common school yard games when I went to school and never recalled anyone getting hurt or breaking any bones.
Banned games of tag, saying they violate a no-touching policy. Seriously!! I think that is ludicrous. Kids can still play tag in physical education classes, however, where they’ll be closely supervised by a teacher.
Aren’t teachers suppose to be supervising recess in the first place. They most certainly did when I went to school. Not just a select few teachers on the playground but all of them. Give me a break.
If contact sports or touch sports are so hurtful for our youngsters then why not just go ahead and ban all adult sports as well.
Say football, hockey and perhaps soccer as well. Injuries occur and fights break out.
Seems to me that our country is over doing things a bit much. Don’t YOU??
