School bans playground game 'tig'

Didge wrote:The popular playground game tig has become the latest game to be banned by teachers trying to protect children. The simple chase and catch game - also known as tag or it - is no longer allowed at Christ the King School, in Leeds, West Yorkshire, where the head teacher claims children have become upset at the rough and tumble. Flouting the ban results in being kept inside in play times. Parents have branded the rule change "ridiculous", saying pupils should be allowed to play the contact game and enjoy the fresh air in their breaks. One mother, Dawn O'Toole, 33, said her son, who attended the school until recently, had been disciplined for joining in the game.

Well that's what we used to do rags, when I worked in a school.
We watched and the children ran and sometimes they fell over. But then they got up and went on their way.....you know, as kids do... And everyone lived happily ever after.

This is just PC gone mad

No tig tag kiss chase allowed with didge today

As to the OP, yes "tag" or "it" rags, what a silly thing to do to ban a simple and harmless childhood game!?

What do they want kids to do, sit and discuss politics?

Sorry eddie i did not realise Didge 4/2 was free to demean people at will and repeatedly but he needs protected when its him getting demeaned as he has done twice now once when he threw his dummy out the pram over a signature  and now over what is obviously his inflated ego

well sorry as long as this ass hole continues his demeaning  jibes at me and others over a differance opinion i am just calling a spade a spade and say it how you see it

And if you feel i should be put in the basement for hanging a flag on it  that`s up to you
