Kids always have and always will get hurt. This micro-protection that's being practiced is over the top. You can keep them safe by having them stand around the playground staring at each other but at what cost? Let them learn to deal with life and its consequences. The lesson is at least as valuable as any learned in the classroom.

]]> Thu, 21 Jan 2010 08:24:01 UTC 6872426 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6872390?utm_medium=rss Let's let some common sense rule. We can't bubble-wrap our kids all the time. Give them back the balls and let them be kids.

there is a chance that you can get hurt from playing sports. but with everything comes possibilities, and we can't just over look everything and let these potential incidents get in the way of our time to play and to just be kids. Anyways i hope we all make a difference and bring the balls to D.Roy Kennnedy! :)

GET THE BALLS BACK!!!!

All ive been doing latly is standing and talking and it is the most boring thing ever. Sure i get some good laughs, but playing sports is just what recess is about! The princible said something about a cuncussion, the injury occured from a boy hitting the kid. He's one of my friends and hes started a group on facebook...join it!

]]> Thu, 21 Jan 2010 04:05:52 UTC 6871263 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6871152?utm_medium=rss This solution shows a total lack of creative problem solving. This is the lead teacher the "Principle". Students/childrem look to their teachers as role models and examples. This is a knee jerk reaction that provides a poor behavioral model. I would be surprised if taking balls away does not lead to an increase in the number of incidents involving pushing, fighting, and bullying.
Glad to see you boys giving it your best shot!
Perhaps she'll have the balls to admit she is wrong.

Why would any respectable adult try to disuade them from doing that? Guess what? They can get hurt from running around without balls too.

Everything done in the winter is covered in snow and pebbles. That's just a reality of life.
This is happening because a kid got a concussion? That could just as easily happen in the summer. What are you gonna' do when someone gets hurt in the summer? Ban balls all year long? Kids get hurt sometimes. It's an inevitability of life.

]]> Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:20:08 UTC 6870577 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6870538?utm_medium=rss I grew up in Canada. I have fond memories of Canadians allowing us to be kids first. Now that I live in the US, the schools are trying to protect kids from EVERYTHING. It has gotten ridiculous. I expected better from the Canadian schools.

And yet here we have a principal banning good, old-fashioned schoolyard play. OUTRAGEOUS!
