No Touching!

A Minneapolis elementary school has banned touching during recess. We wouldn't want to hold accountable the bullies, the hitters, the pinchers, would we? That might damage their self esteem. So, let's just show our power by making a rule that all the kids will have to follow.

I showed this link to my kids. They thought it was "stupid." "Does that mean we could not give someone a goodbye hug?"

And they claim schools are not biased against boys?

THe more I read stuff like this the more I realize our society is doomed. Kids need to grow thick skins. I was small (still am) and got beat up regularly (by boys) and survived to be pretty tough and thick skinned. It has served me well in my career.
