So now... they are going to ban recess, because there is the possibility of someone getting hurt. All rooms will be padded because anything can happen and a child can trip and hit their heads on the desk?

Of the only 2 times (surprisingly) I have gotten injured requiring stitches (knock on wood) neither time was at school. They were both during incidents over the summer. (And no, I'm not gonna even attempt to say let's ban summer recess to prevent injuries to kids). I wouldn't wish upon a lack of summer recess for any kid.

I say if you want to prevent injury to people, ban life itself....

Alas, most of my injuries in school were emotional scars from being teased or made fun of for different things like having red hair or being the slightly odd one out.
I still am the odd one out most of the time, but who cares anymore?
Not to say I never got injured at school, but those mostly minor injuries were mainly from other kids being bullies, and not playing tag or falling on the playground or what not.

The failed attempts to slide on and falling in the half-frozen-but-not-quite-yet-completely-frozen mud "puddles" were of my own doing though...
