I am an elementary music teacher, and I get very frustrated seeing little girls wearing crocs, flip-flops (with pedicure), even heels to school. Running IS an important part of school, and important part of child development! Children, as well as puppies, kittens. . . all of God's children . . . run and chase when they play. It is so sad to see a little girl try to flee someone chasing her when she is hobbled by her "cute" shoes. What does it do psychologically to a child to always be caught, always be "it" and never able to tag anyone?
