get a brain....

You certainly are right at that.  You are the perfect school board member to oversee the creation of shallow, obese members of society.

Rick....

I am more qualified to sit on a school board than you are, you neo-con ......

You are clueless when it comes to school related issues.....you are like the

scarecrow in the Wizard of OZ......If you only had a brain........

You can't carry my gavel.......

This is not suprising.  Just look at who gets elected to school boards! Some of them even frequent Internet Forums.......

Why is there this obsession with keeping children from all risk of harm, both physical and emotional?  Why is there such a desire in this country to create a bunch of obese, shallow adults?  My philosophy is to let children fall and get hurt-they then learn the consequences of their actions.  I also want to see them experience failures- it makes them appreciate true success.

No, but look for some school officials to place basketball on the banned list in their schools.

Some schools have already banned such games as tag on school playgrounds.
