Crack-the-whip was explicitly prohibited at my school. I wonder what the story behind that was. Looking it up now, I can’t find any allusions to it being particularly dangerous.Report
Well, in this school starting fires seems like a perfectly normal recess activity, so it might be on par with that.
Edit – oh never mind they’re clapping erasers, lol.Report
There are at least 40 kids out on the playground and 10-12 erasers that need clapping.
I want to say that this isn’t from his childhood memories in Wisconsin but from seeing kids play when he was an adult.Report
If played correctly, someone was getting injured.
Of course, our school yard surface was entirely asphalt, so…Report
