....""" Across the country, schools are policing
and punishing the distinctive, assertive
sociability of boys. Many much-loved
games have vanished from school
playgrounds. At some schools, tug of war
has been replaced with “ tug of peace.”
Since the 1990s, elimination games like
dodgeball, red rover and tag have been
under a cloud — too damaging to self-
esteem and too violent, say certain experts .
Young boys, with few exceptions, love
action narratives. These usually involve
heroes, bad guys, rescues and shoot-ups. As
boys’ play proceeds, plots become more
elaborate and the boys more transfixed.
When researchers ask boys why they do it,
the standard reply is, “Because it’s fun.”""......Tug of peace?! Really?! Way too much Oprah these days...smh
