It no more: The game Tag is being dropped from some schools here in the US. Willett Elementary School in Attleboro, MA dropped the game last week and other schools in South Carolina and Wyoming have dropped the game as well. The reason: It could give kids low self-esteem, not to mention kids could get hurt. Other chase games such as touch football have also been dropped. Some advocates of Tag say that the game is good for children who are overweight; these are the same kids whose self-esteem are hurt because they are always "it" because they are overweight and get caught easily. It's a vicious cycle!
