SCHOOLS hiring their grounds out to laser skirmish companies have come under fire and even have the Prime Minister scratching his head.

A skirmish company website which promoted some Queensland schools as perfect "killing fields" has hit a sour note with a public already reeling from the recent schoolyard stabbing death of 12-year-old Elliott Fletcher.

Now debate is ranging as to whether laser games should be allowed on school grounds.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd today questioned its validity as a way of raising money for schools.

Hilarious stuff... it's all over the local news at the moment.

Unfortunately, a 12 year-old student was recently stabbed to death in a QLD school. It's a rare piece of extreme violence in Australian schools and it allowed everyone to play out the 'fear' card for more than it was worth.

Given that, there's a lot of backlash about some schools hiring out their grounds for laser-tag style games.

Laser-tag is fun! It's all harmless. I'd rather have my kids running around playing laser-tag, than sitting in front of a PS3.

It seems that the days where kids run around the streets, shooting each other with plastic guns, are obsolete.
