11:30 – Some Quebec elementary schools are letting their students play rough. Two schools have announced pilots which will set up supervised “rough play zones” where students can shove, wrestle, grab, and generally roughhouse. There are plenty of rules in place to keep things safe, and teachers say students are calmer and more focused in class. Do you think this is a winning idea, or would you prefer schools keep things as safe as possible for their young learners? Do our schools coddle and overprotect their students, or will encouraging “rough play” lead to bullying or injuries? Give us a call and share your take!
