B.C. school bans kindergarteners from touching each other | CTV British Columbia News

Do people think any more?

Oh, brother! Someone was actually PAID to make that decision?

ok class after we`ve had our milk and nap time we`re going to discuss different positions homosexual and heterosexual partners enjoy. There sees to be real skewed view as to what is age appropriate and inappropriate in certain schools

Typical. The entire board-of-education system is geared towards avoiding litigation. Boards are so scared of lawsuits that a disproportionately large percentage of policy making, resources, and effort are directed at limiting liability. If there's one thing my years of research into public education has revealed it's that the entire board system is an ineffective, inefficient, incompetent and corrupt monster that should be slain.

You think the Senate is a problem? If the public had any concept of the inner workings of boards of education they'd want the whole system blown up and those in control lynched.

it took you years of research to determine that ? i`m sure your wife could have told you that in the time it took you to type this

Yeah, but since when do any of us listen to anything our wives have to say?

Zero tolerance polices came about to remove the potential for people to think about anything.

So in the hundreds of years kids have been playing games like red rover, or tag in schoolyards this just became a problem this year? Why?

Do these idiots even listen to themselves talk.

I guess they figure physical contact with others might interfere with the kind of crackerjack, progressive indoctrination...er, I mean education they themselves received. Either that or they just like to show what bigshots they are by moving little kids around like puppets and interrupting the natural order of things.

You'd be slaying a hydra. The heart of the hydra is the culture of risk aversion. The culture of risk aversion is inculcated from the very top (even as they start off their latest cynical "Innovation in the Workplace"). The very top benefits from a predictable system, because predicatbale situations can be manipulated.

Of course, they are not prepared for a Black Swan event like this (an unforseen consequence that goes viral). We all get to laugh at the cringing stuffed shirts in front of TV camera light, pinned like an insect to a wall. A sacrifice is made, as low down the chain as the elite think they can get away with, and the the system becomes even more bigger and more bureaucratic in order to prevent that particular Black Swan event from happening again. Something like "The Board will be hiring a new policy review team. From now on, any new policies must be thoroughly vetted ands approved by this team. Also, November is Innovation month..."

You mean that we're led by cowards?

People with control issues would be a better descriptor, I think. Based on psychological profiles, they are usually egotists as well. We teach kids that these are bad traits, but even though we don't recomend them, we reward them.

That all adds up to: Bully

Good point. It's nearly a laugh but it's really a cry.

My interpretation is that it takes a nation of cowards to elect cowardly leadership. Oh, and don't think I'm not including the USA in that comment.
