On the premise that any game declaring a winner makes victims of everyone else? (Also: discriminatory toward the hearing impaired.) (Ok, "hearing impaired is offensive. What's today's PC euphemism?)

Sad, but true. But SOME kids will get the "we live in fear" message - I've already had to deal with some, for whom every little thing is SCARY!

Sad, but true.

But SOME kids will get the “we live in fear” message – I’ve already had to deal with some, for whom every little thing is SCARY! It’s very, very sad.

Banning tag will not give kids the message that “we live in fear”. More likely kids will get the message that they’ve been receiving for generations: grown-ups are jerks.

Teacher bans on playground games will not end them anymore than they will end children’s spirit of life and adventure – something that I, at least, believe has always proven sturdier than the paddle or playground rules.
