Does anyone else feel that rugby in schools is a bad idea?
These days schools go overboard with health and safety in so many ways. It therefore seems bonkers that they have compulsory rugby and force many unwilling children to go out and play rough games. Does anyone else agree that rugby should be done only in optional clubs? Another thing, children often do rugby tackles on each other outside PE classes, ie in the school corridors etc, despite being told not to. Teaching them rugby tackles can't be a good idea.

I agree. Although I do believe P. E. should be compulsory, I also believe rough sports (rugby, American Football, etc.) should be a separate class that can be opted out of. Everyone needs exercise, but not everyone is rough-and-tumble.
As for the tackles, Our school is preK through 3. Our students are not allowed to bring or play football at school because it always ends in fights, etc. This has been the rule for years, and through 3 principals.

It's compulsory? I was on the team, but I would never advocate forcing anyone
