At some point schools are going to start wrapping kids in bubble wrap.

At least one Canadian teacher frowns heavily upon a schoolyard game nearly every child has played.
David Kemlo received a letter from his six-year-old son’s teacher who expressed concerns about the child playing a “chasing game” during lunch recess.
“[Your son] was involved in a chasing game with other children in our class at lunch recess,” reads the teachers’ letter, which was published by Calgary’s Metro News.
Concerned with the activity, the teacher said she spoke to children in the class about the dangers of the “chasing game” and “we have decided to work on strategies together as a group.”
The teacher suggested other games the boy could play.
“Please ask your child about what happened today so that he can think of other ways to play nicely at recess, for example, freeze tag, imagination games, or use equipment,” the letter reads.
