I was at my sons school this morning (he is 6) and one of the other mothers asks how he is enjoying 1st grade so far (this is his second week). He says "I like it but the one thing I don't like is Recess". The mother and I look at each other confused. We're both thinking, what kid doesn't like recess. Well it turns out they don't let the kids run on the playground! Now keep in mind this is a huge playground. What are things coming too? I understand no running to and from class and things of that nature. But at recess no running? We always played and ran on the playground when I was a kid, and guess what I survived it!!!! Sorry about the rant, it just seems like they are taking everything that we as kids enjoyed away.
Venting done....
