We going to school to learn…

Assistant Principal Cindy Fesgen of the Discovery Canyon Campus school said running games will be allowed, as long as students don’t chase each other.

I guess this takes out most sports or games as you usually chase after the person with the ball. No soccer, basketball, football, frisbee and so on.

What is the school doing to these kids? Now they can’t run so of course they will get even fatter right? Aren’t they trying to promote a healthier lifestyle? What running game is left? Track? I can’t remember finding a track race all that appealing in grade school, unless you wanted to proove who was faster… but there is two problems with track… someone would win and the other kids feelings would be hurt and you are actually chasing after the faster kid…
that breaks the rules!

Here is the link to the story….

Would you stand for this if your kid was in this school?

How do they think kids are going to fair when they have been coddled their whole life and then have to enter “the real world”?

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult in order to accept the responsibilities of a 6 year old. The tax base is lower. I want to be six again.

I want to go to McDonald’s and think it’s the best place in the world to eat. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make waves with rocks. I want to think M&Ms are better than money ’cause you can eat them. I want to play kickball during recess and stay up on Christmas Eve waiting to hear Santa and Rudolph on the roof.

I long for the days when life was simple. When all you knew were your colors, the addition tables and simple nursery rhymes, but it didn’t bother you because you didn’t know what you didn’t know, and you didn’t care.

I want to go to school and have snack time, recess, gym, and field trips. I want to be happy because I don’t know what should make me upset. I want to think the world is fair, and everyone in it is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible.

Sometime, while I was maturing, I learned too much. I learned of nuclear weapons, prejudice, starving and abused kids, lies, unhappy marriages, illness, pain and mortality. I want to be six again. I want to think that everyone, including myself, will live forever because I don’t know the concept of death.

I want to be oblivious to the complexity of life, and be overly excited by the little things again. I want television to be something I watch for fun, not something I use for escape from the things I should be doing. I want to live knowing the little things I find exciting will always make me as happy as when I first learned them…..I want to be six again.

I remember not seeing the world as a whole, but rather being aware of only the things that directly concerned me. I want to be naive enough to think that if I’m happy, so is everyone else. I want to walk down the beach and think only of the sand beneath my feet, and the possibility of finding that blue piece of sea glass I’m looking for.

I want to spend my afternoons climbing trees and riding my bike, letting the grownups worry about time, the dentist, and how to find the money to fix the old car. I want to wonder what I’ll do when I grow up, and what I’ll be, who I’ll be, and not worry about what I’ll do if this doesn’t work out. I want that time back.

I want to use it now as an escape, so that when my computer crashes, or I have a mountain of paperwork, or two depressed friends, or a fight with my significant other, or bittersweet memories of times gone by, or second thoughts about so many things, I can travel back, and build a snowman, without thinking about anything except whether the snow sticks together, and what I can possibly use for the snowman’s mouth.

I want to be six again.
I wish I could take credit for it, but a friend of mine sent it to me, yes it is very nice.
