"ok kids it's time for recess. Go outside and play. But you better not be running around. You might get hurt. In fact, everyone just take a gameboy with you and sit in the grass and play Pokemon for 20

I wish that's why my teachers had told me when I was little =)

You have got to be kidding me.

If you don't want to play tag as a kid, it means you're a pussy. Kids get hurt, they cry, they get up, they stop crying, and they tag the next kid (because they were only fake crying just to get that kid to see if they were ok anyway).

Next, let's ban talking to other children so that they can't develop social skills.

What is wrong with these people?

My brother is in 4th grade and they have this little behavior system where everyone has a little paper kite thing on a bulletin board with 3 or 4 little bows on the tail. They take off the little bows when kids act up as a warning, and if you lose all of them, your parents get called. But if you only lose some of them, the punishment is that you have to WALK AROUND THE TRACK at recess for 5 minutes for each little bow you lost.

Let me reiterate that. WALKING is now a PUNISHMENT.

Most idiotic thing I have ever heard.
