yup, we used to play tag and hide and seek and skyeening (one word)

only rule was to be back by dinner time..

Classic, skyeening started as sky inning (in Haole), it got East side and turned into skyeening, got to Windward side and was sky heenie.

Yup, back before the street lights came on was our neighborhoods rule. 

What about Manapua Man going through every neighborhood.

Every body leaving their slippers outside the classroom at recess and running around bare foot.

So much Old School shenanigans and traditions would not be allowed or tolerated now days at all.
Can imagine your kid showing up at school telling the boys “Let’s play smear the queer”
No red rover or shambattle allowed in school any more.
No swings at the park or seesaws or even real monkey bars and real high slides.

Is that the one where you put the stick on the ground, then someone rolls the ball to hit the stick and then you have to catch the ball after the ball pops up in the air?

Yup.
Hitter throws it up and hits it.
Guy who gets the ball rolls it at the bat was is placed on the ground.
(There are actually more rules but that’s long story short)

Ya. Ok. I remember playing that. We lived on a perfect street for that game. Short side road, so not much traffic. Decent slope on a pretty straight road, so made it easier to roll the ball at the stick. Good times!

hitter got to hit until someone caught a fly ball and became hitter
if it bounced, whoever caught it got to roll it towards the bat
if it hit, the batter had a chance to catch it on the bounce so he could remain hitter
if he didn't, then the roller guy got to become batter

I went there only a handful of times before they closed. Remember their waffle cone ice cream was awesome.

Yes it was! 

I put a sad face on my post because Castle Park was so long ago.  I actually was going there for my kids when they were young.  They loved that park.  In other words I wasn't going there as a kid.  More like a parent, which makes me feel more old and alone, lol!!

How about the Checkers and Pogo Sky Slide?  Anybody remember that?  I think it was in Waipahu by the Wigwam store.

I bet some (all?) of you are wondering "Wigwam?"  WTF is that?!! :wacko:

I’m cool with many of the boomers on this board. They can take a joke and trade barbs without being all insulted.

Actually, I see more generational differences with the Millennials than I do with subsequent generations. I think it is just a generational thing.  :rofl:

I see it as the continuing conversion of the public education system into a leftist political indoctrination organ.  Just attending class is an achievement these days.

I have a good friend that home-schooled his kids, and they could not be more different than the high self-esteem drones public education cranks out. 
His daughter recently graduated with a Masters in Mathematics.  No "math is hard" from her.

Kids may be kids, but those having major influence over their behavior and viewpoints have been moving further to the left all the time.  That is what is changing, IMO.

I said I wanted to keep this thread light hearted. But I’ll add here that I still believe it’s on parents, as opposed to schooling. My buddies have teenagers who are going to public school. Yeah, I can see what is being mentioned, but my buddies sort of impose different after school and sports. One of the older is quite good as sports and it stung when his team lost in states semifinal last year. It crushed him for a day, but then he was wanting to train for the next season shortly there after.

However, while parents are a big influence, so are friends. Anyways, not a parent, so just what I see.
