Celeste, your comment about your son feeling safer at recess because tag has been banned prompts me to recall the admonishment that Paul Newman gave to the owner of his hockey team at the end of Slap Shot. Unfortunatley it would get me at least 2 minutes in the Penalty Box if I posted it.
Another Willett parent, Celeste D'Elia, said her son feels safer because of the rule. "I've witnessed enough near collisions," she said. How is this mother witnessing anything that happens at recess?
BTW, my two daughters go to this school.
It has one of those old metal slides, metal swings and a playground made from old telephone poles.
No safety issues there...
