It’s not the schools or the kiddies that are at fault. Rather it is the litigious parents and the lawyers who make the issue a financial one. If we – as kids – scraped a knee, or fell over, or got rough-housed in games or sports type activities, then so be it.Man up (or grow up whichever), and keep going. A little pain never really hurt anyone, and allowed everyone to experience what the real world is, and it isn’t the namby pamby, cotton wool wrapped, place it is rapidly becoming.
