WTF!!! What a bunch of fucking idiots. A sloth that fucked a sea urchin covered in marmite would be less retarded than that!!!

They are missing the point completely! It's too dangerous for kids outside so we will imprisson them in their homes unless they want to travel so far away from their homes to play that they are ACTUALLY IN DANGER unless their parents go with them, and in today's society we all know that parents cant travel to a park with their kids to play EVERY DAY which is roughly how often kids play outside.

Let kids play outside, so what if it's dangerous, kids learn though hurting themselves. if they graze their knee, at the time they may think they are going to die from blood loss, but after that they will graze their knee and keep running around as if nothing happened. If they almost get run over thyey learn to stay out of the road when there are cars.

Your class deserves medals and applause. Seriously, most kids these days have been taught to follow rules and regulations blindly without assessing, or at least understanding, them first. I understand that some rules are necessary in moderation, but not in excess.

Kids are definitley too shelterd these days. From the age of 9 I was allowed to roam the village with my friends provided I checked back in before 6:30 and I believe it made me a more responsible person. Honestly, if parents ban their kids from doing anything more dangerous than using crayons how will they ever learn to be independent? Getting a few cuts and grazes is part of being a kid, for god's sake!!!

I think the issue is in two ends here. Over protective parents and legal system - America got a legal system in which anyone can sue almost about anything for as much as they want, it is missing common sense. And when government and institutions are missing common sense the residents start to loose it too.

Soon we got a cry how videogames aregetting hold of children and no one plays outside - why? Because it was banned -.-.

Ill just wait for the cries about videogames and health issue to start.

Haha, thanks :p We didn't.. We got held in at lunchtime, scolded by the deputy head (who tried to run the place as if it was hers) and some what congratulated by the head.. It was mixed feelings in the teaching staff. Yea I know what ya mean, for example it's fine if it's say.. No climbing trees (we had that rule as well) but even that got taken to extreams when everyone got banned from our climbing frame/jungle gym. It was torn down when I left.

I remember when my elementry school banned tag because one of my friends fell off part of the playground face first onto another part of the playground... and by face first I mean "broke his jaw on a metal bar."

Good times... good times

That is just awful.Isn't part of childhood playing outdoors? Why would they ban tag under the guise of "safety"?

I broke my arm and severly grazed my head when playing tag.
It wasn't the game that did that to me.
It was the arse hole who shoved me to 'tag' me. He never appologised, the pathetic chavy man who will die alone.

Great idea, kids are obviously not fat enough so you need to take the only kind of running they do.

Reference is fine and all, but are these sources reliable?

And one more thing:

[...] despite your claims the average IQ score is rising.
Well... you might have forgotten to read this one [http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient#Problems]: IQ =/= Intelligence.
SonicDoctor was talking about what the kids were taught (or not taught), and the concepts the society is shoving into their heads (actively or passively). IQ is a scale to measure mental capability, so I suppose it plays some part, but it's not the sole governing factor.
Not to mention the fact that the average tested IQ score may be rising, however that doesn't take into account all of the people in the world who haven't taken an IQ test. Remember, statistics don't always tell the truth.

You know, if stuff like this caries on then for the first time ever we will have a generation that is physically incapable of doing anything. Personally if this kinda stuff caries on then i'm looking forward to being stronger, faster, smarter, and healthier than everyone's grand kids when i'm older.

If you're going to keep children from making mistakes by sheltering them continuesly.
How will they learn to deal with mistakes when they grow up.
Besides sue everything in a 100 miles radius.

PFFFT! Parents these days...

In my time and age, parents allowed us to have fun and get rough! I remember when I fell down and cut myself on a piece of glass. Did my folks freak and banned me from the outdoors?

NO! They told me to clean the cut and bandage it! To suck it up go outside and stop loafing in front of the TV! And you know what? I did!

When I was little, I ate sand and grass and dirt and licked shiny rocks and the walls in the garage! And they tasted delicious.

Thank you, parents. Because now I only get sick once every 2 years, around the flu season.

I'm not bringing kids into this world. Fuck it, they don't deserve this bullshit and it would be cruel of me to expose them to it.

football (the European one)
I think it's more correct to say the "non-North American one" rather than "the European one" as football is quite popular in South America.

It's hard to think of organizations today more worthless than political committees, but school boards have done it.
