Heard From A Co-Worker

As Dad drops off J and W he says, “What a great day for recess! What do you do at recess? Play football?”

Stone faced they all replied, “No, we can’t play football.”

“What then? Tag?”

“No, we can’t play tag.”

W, stone faced: “We can’t give high-fives.”

Hahahahahahaha How ridiculous is that? They can’t give high-fives because it is considered “hitting”!!! It’s true, too, because their piano teacher was subbing and she requires the fifth graders to shake her hand before entering the room in the morning because they are so disrespectful. One of the girls refused to shake her hand. Fine, then you have to at least give me a high five. The class came unglued! “YOU CAN’T GIVE HIGH-FIVES, THAT IS AGAINST THE RULES!”

I know their school is a little rough around the edges and this new principal is doing all he can to restore some order, so I’m not going to argue with him, but wow!
