Dodgeing wrenches

I think dodge ball is fun but for some people, or most people, is boring or feared especially for the people who aren't in good shape. Since they don't like dodge ball they don't participate in fear of getting picked on because it's just boring to them because everybody else has an advantage over them. I guess if i would pick a side it would be against it, except that their view on it is like "oh no it's a parasite everybody's gonna be fat you don't want to let your children be hit with balls and exposed to violence." photo credit goes to vvvracer

Dodge ball Is A W E S O M E ;D

Okay, so there is this website all about how Dodge ball should be ban. I think it is very dumb how people want to ban a great American game. There might be movies that show dodge ball is horrible but really, it is a great exercise. Some people may not try, that is the only way it is easy to get out. Dodge ball isn't hard, teachers say that they should ban Dodge ball when really a lot of kids LOVE dodge ball. Yes, some kids may be stronger than others and may hurt kids, but there hasn't been any broken arms or broken jaws from rubber dodge balls. (None that I heard of at least.) :D

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.

Dodge Ball Okay or Not

Dodge ball is a great game to play if you are having fun. If you are competitive you don't have to go all out and throw the ball so hard it sends someone to the nurse. If you are a soar loser the you souldn't really be playing any type of competitive sport. But dodge ball is a good game for teaching kids and getting them tougher for later years of their life. That doesn't put them through wussification. It might make them cry if they get out first but that makes them tougher in later years like I said in the last sentence I wrote. So I think that dodge ball is good.

Dodge-ball appropriate or not?

There has been a debate about dodge-ball being appropriate or in-appropriate. I think its very appropriate. Many peoples debates are such as what if they get hit in the head or what if they get hurt PERIOD! In my opinion those parents are going to turn their children into little wimps. Children have to man up. In the future parents arent going to be there 24/7 anymore so they cant rely on them forever. If their really really wimpy then yes let them sit out while other kids have fun. Kids sometimes are really scared of a ball but not enough to ban it from being in P.E anymore. They should just man up once again and just play and learn from it. Another reason why they want to ban i,t is because if you lose it embarrasses them. I totally disagree. It doesn't make them losers at least they tried. If you don't play that makes you a bigger loser because you didn't even try! Thats why I think dodge ball is an appropriate sport for physical education. To see more about dodge ball debates go here dodge ball debates.

DodgeBall Levels

Some say that dodgeball is for strong kids that have confidence in thereselves . An that weak kids with no self esteem should not have to go through getting smacked in the face with balls by stronger kids. Well i say that they should have different levels.Like they should ask the stronger kids to have a seperate game from the weak kids.If the weak kids feel bad that they are concidered weak then they can join the the stronger kids game. So now its equal.Iron sharpens iron.                                                                       

P.E Games Appropriate or Not?

So apparently some p.e. games are not appropriate, cause injury, or embarrassment, and so people are having a debate about whether to band them or keep them. Games like tag and dogeball they say should not be played for p.e. I belive that banning those games is ridiculous just because they can hurt someone or embarrass some.

No matter how over protective you want to be sometime in life you'r going to get hurt and if it so happens in p.e. then it does because accidents happen and its not like the teachers mean for us to get hurt. So for those who say we shouldn't play them because they can be hurtful, well sorry to break it to you but many things in this world are hurtful even the simplest p.e. game so suck it up and stop making excuses. So unless you want us to wrap ourselves with bubble wrap, in which case we might as well be on the safe side and do nothing but sit and become fat for p.e., let us play the games we have always played even if accidents might occur.

Just like people might get hurt, people might get embarrased. It happens to everyone even if its just because your not an athletic person, not everyone is. So yes embarrassing things happen no matter what game your playing so don't take the game away just because it can embarras someone, thats just another sorry excuse.Things happen but thats no reason to be over protective and take fun games away.
