Here's 2 things I just thought after reading a few of the posts for this thread.

1.) Since the schools are restricting the activities of the kids to the point that they will be repremanded for "running", why not turn around and sue your school and school system for promoting/instilling a sedentary lifestyle for your kids?
The kids are told not to run and play as kids would "normally" do. They have to put so much time in preparing for the MCAS testing, they don't have time for physical activity they so desparately need for normal development.

2.) If companies enforced a policy that stated "If you leave the company (voluntarily/unvoluntarilt) prior to xxxx date (after date of hire) you will required to reimburse the company for time spend training you and your replacement. Then thy would have to fully enforce it! It pisses me off seeing so-called college grads hop-scotch from job to job. They'll come in, usually at entry level, stay for the "probationary" period, and then start job hopping. My current employer has a 12 month probationary period. It's hard to instill a sense of loyalty when people "jump ship" when they get a whiff of a better offer elsewhere. I figure that if I stick with it for another 20+ years, I can retire and enjoy myself.
