In 2005, two elementaries in Falcon School District 49 adopted a
structured recess program, Trouble-Free Playground, that did away with
chasing games in favor of other activities that cut down on physical
contact. Evans and Meridian Ranch elementaries said the program helped
reduce playground squabbles.


I almost get a chuckle out of this.

Short of basically any physical-fitness benefits of recess, I don't
see how recess itself could be retained under this kind of formula.

Maybe they should just ban recess.

Yeah Mike! These are the same dumb-asses that won't allow taking
score in little-league soccer/baseball/etc. "Everyone's a winner!",
they say What a crock of crap!!!! These little *******s never learn
how to *loose* like a competitor should. Congratulate the other guy
and take an honest look at your own performance. It just makes me
want to spit!
