Immediately, the solution is the school board. Appeal to them and organize your fellow school parents to petition the board. It may not change anything for now, but remind them that, come election time, they can change almost anything they want by electing the right people.

The principle culprit here is most likely the insurance company that handles the liabilty insurance. With a new school board, set up a super fund to self insure for liabilty and then tell the insurance company to take a hike! The more independent you make your school system, the more you are free to do it your way. This is true for all our local political organizations. Remember, it’s your tax dollar, spend your way.

I guess the recess staff would have to be trained to intervene quickly if any teasing starts, which, I believe is almost normal for this game. Doesn’t, “Ha, ha, you can’t get me….” almost seem like a natural taunt?

If the ban is at your school, ask the principal or superintendent if early intervention by the recess monitors or a character initiative plan for the children may be a better response than banning tag.

Why on earth would they do that???

I mean at least that they are using it right the only thing that should be band by TAG should be when they bring it to school…
