Dear God

Please, please don't let me get like this with my kids or students...On the CBC website today, there was an article about a school in Massachusetts that has banned "Tag" at recess, because it can lead to injury and maybe lawsuits...Maybe we should just get rid of recess entirely, so kids won't trip on their way in and out of the school. Better yet, let's just have them all stay at home nice and safe and teachers can't just lecture to empty classrooms.

I recognize there are risks in this world. And you're talking to a pretty risk adverse person. But there has to be a point where we ask if it's worth stopping living in order to marginally decrease our risk. *sigh*
