While a ban on hard balls had been in place at the school for more than a decade due to the small size of the schoolyard, staff only began to enforce the rule earlier this month.

1. Wow. A ban because one person got hit? If that's not overreacting,

(PS: Interesting headline from CBC. ;-) )

2. No more Dodge Ball?

Awesome game.

3. I hope nobody trips, falls and chips a tooth...

They may have to ban floors if that were to happen.

Gimme a break.
