I find that unfair because children need a right to play games with out getting suspended for doing so. Children should also have the right to be allowed to play and be children without getting punished for everything. i also find it unfair because rules and laws shouldn’t be so strict with children.

Can you make sense of this?
A school disciplines a 3rd grader, creating a permanent record in his school file, for making “burp guns” (finger guns, burping when you pull the trigger) with his friends,
but yet endorses laser, machine type guns in a laser tag game at a school sponsored event.

We just got an email from my 5yr olds school that…
“We are having trouble in Kindergarten with students using “gun hands” to point at each other.”
I have 2 boys and they always play cops and robbers, or even avengers where they use their hands as guns or blasters. I don’t understand the tunnel vision that teachers, administrators, or even other parents have that 5y/o’s playing this way is “aggressive or ill intended” in any way.
I am pretty sure that some of the teachers at the schools have played some of the same games with their kids and understand the nature.
