Schools announce ‘We suck’

This is one of those moments when you don’t know whether to laugh or cry. A school in Ohio has suspended a pupil who tricked the fans of their local rival school to hold up signs saying ‘We suck’….. So being very clever (either than or the other kids were remarkably dumb) and ingenious gets you punished, that’s one life lesson I think really needs to be taught. How about another one - A school in Colorado Springs has banned Tag because some kids felt they were being harrassed and chased against their will….. how can you chase someone against their will? That has got to be the most boring game known to mankind. I stand there and you tag me, I can’t imagine that being top of the Amazon.com lists in the near future. Kids have an attention span of 15 nano-seconds before they get bored and move on…..unless they are just antagonising and bullying the other kid. Bullying is a serious issue, but rather than address the actual issue, the school bans the game….
