My response on is Dodge ball inappropriate for junior high P.E. is simply No. I say this because I think kids need to get healthy, heart cancer is one of the diseases for being obese. We can easily stop obesity with more active sports like dodge ball. People don't allow dodge ball in P.E. in school because it supposedly kills kids confidence and separates weaker kids from stronger kids. Instead they want to have imaginary jump ropes and air high-fives. This makes kids soft and continues for them to be weak, it also makes kids think that life is always a Win Win situation and it isn't.
