Re: GEN:Magic Cards - requesting food for thought

Julie,

I had a similar experience 3 years ago at a small rural school I have since
left.  The students playing "magic" were guiet and well behaved and came in
during lunch and played.  A teacher passing through saw them and complained
to the principal.  I researced articles on the game and presented them to
him.  He decided to ban the game.  It was my first year there and I
subsequently learned he was going to retire in 2 years and didn't want any
problems his last years.  The students later started playing the same type
game with "Babylon 5" and "Pokemon" cards and there was no problem.
