If you get hit with a "paper dart" your reflexes aren't sharp enough.
You know things have gone seriously downhill when the school and teachers eliminate/restrict the activity of the students, and then complain that the kids are getting overweight from lack of activity and crappy school lunches (which probably are past expiration dates).
No more running, no tag, no ball throwing, no kickball, no dodgeball, no activity except sitting and eating sub-par lucnhes between classes.
Once we let schools dictate students' total health and well being, and the parents silently gave up the right to parent, this is the kind of mindless crap we are dealt. Instead of dealing with scraped knees and bruises we are dealing with childhood obesity, diabetes, ADHD, ADD and a cornecopia of "new" food allergies.
We are on a path of self-destruction, and our children are leading the way!
