One has to wonder what level of outside supervision schools have if it overlooks a game involving “dry humping”. For this to be stopped only after a complaint from a parent suggests that some teachers should put down their mugs of coffee and actually observe the children during yard duty.
A disturbing playground activity has parents riled over what is going on during recess at an elementary school.
Washington Elementary School in New Ulm, Minnesota, is at the centre of controversy as it was learned fifth grade students had played ‘rape tag’ during recess.
The game is very similar to freeze tag, except to unfreeze someone, a student would have to simulate a sex act on the frozen person.
He added: ‘Part of that experimentation is that they do things we wish they wouldn’t have done.’
There is a great level of trust that parents bestow to teachers and schools. They expect, amongst other things, that respect for women and girls is inherent in all activities both inside and outside of the classroom. These parents have been justifiably let down by a school that overlooked the obvious and acted reactively rather than proactively.
