ATTLEBORO, Mass. - Tag, you're out!
Officials at an elementary school south of Boston have banned kids from playing tag, touch football and any other unsupervised chase game during recess for fear they'll get hurt and hold the school liable.
Recess is "a time when accidents can happen," said Willett Elementary School Principal Gaylene Heppe, who approved the ban.
While there is no districtwide ban on contact sports during recess, local rules have been cropping up. Several school administrators around Attleboro, a city of about 45,000 residents, took aim at dodgeball a few years ago, saying it was exclusionary and dangerous. Modified versions now include softer balls and ways for children to re-enter the action.
Elementary schools in Cheyenne, Wyo., and Spokane, Wash., also recently banned tag during recess. A suburban Charleston, S.C., school outlawed all unsupervised contact sports.
"I think that it's unfortunate that kids' lives are micromanaged and there are social skills they'll never develop on their own," said Debbie Laferriere, who has two children at Willett, about 40 miles south of Boston. "Playing tag is just part of being a kid."
Another Willett parent, Celeste D'Elia, said her son feels safer because of the rule. "I've witnessed enough near collisions," she said.

Lol, Rack Smear the Queer. It got banned at my elementary school in the Spring of my 6th grade year, after the PE coach told us to pile on this one dude. We all got in trouble and the PE coach (Bob Strausser) pussied out and let all the kids take the blame.

Not very PC I guess.

You say that like it's a bad thing.
We always called it smear the queer, too.
Due to the fact Sissy is still alive, I'm guessing it's known by a different name in the Greater Tampa Area.

It's "roughshod," you education-smack-running stud.
Comes from a word that meant a farrier had left the nails slightly protruding from a horseshoe, to increase traction on slippery surfaces, such as ice. And if a roughshod horse were to trample you, it would cause even more injury than a normally shod horse. Hence, "to run roughshod."
