#753 banning balls
many boys turn flashlights into sabers and popsicle sticks into ninja stars
whether we want them to or not

Treating people with respect is how you manage playground behavior, and healthy physical competitions. Banning balls is going to be about as useful as trying to ban sticks so little boys won't point them and pretend they're guns.
