I will get off my soapbox now...


Before you do, what about the schools that are banning playing Tag now?

If I ever get a surplus of time, I will write a book detailing all the
things that happened to me in elementary school. People think I make this
stuff up. They are horrified. And it was just a typical country school
where I grew up.

Example; If a ball went over the fence, we needed three guys to retrieve it.
Two to keep the angry, territorial bull distracted. And one to recover the
ball. Needless to say, the two bull distractors were are fastest runners.
And the reason we used two was if one fell down.

And the fact that almost no one at our school had money enough to wear those
fancy tennis shoes to play soccer. We just used our regular work/logging
boots.
