There have been similar plans like this. Teachers are working to control how children behave, even at recess. In the past, some schools banned 'best friends' at school and forced students to play with other children and discouraged them from having favorite playmates. Many common games are banned because they think it somehow traumatizes children to be "it" in a game of tag.
Now a Minnesota school spent a lot of money hiring recess consultants who will watch children play and guide them on how they should go about it. It's more forcing children to play with others that they might not have hit if off with.
This is getting insane. We should be spending that money on books or other things for education. It's not up to the state to teach everything. They are trying to take over the role of parenting as it is.
Crazy that now they don't think children play the right way, so grown ups will hover over them and probably stop them if they don't like the way they are enjoying their recess time.
It's one thing for parents and teachers to preach about getting along with others, but the child has to make the decision on their own. Forcing things will likely end up with children resenting the authority figures. Or worse, the weak children will be so used to being told what to do every minute of the day that they'll grow up to be idiots who only know how to obey commands. Some are treating our children like dogs who need to be controlled.
I didn't put this in education because it has nothing to do with education. Schools have taken out cursive writing because it's too hard for some of the kids and then they shove Common Crap down their throats in an effort to dumb them down. Most students find the Common Core math even more confusing. Instead of teaching them the skills they need to be self-sufficient someday, they are working on creating an ignorant class of obedient little wussies.
