Dodge ball is certainly NOT an inappropriate game. Schools that have changed the rules to "dangerous games" are just teaching kids how to be little punks when it comes to the real world. They are making these little games and rules to where were going to end up soft as marshmallows. Sooner or later we are all going to end up in hover chairs communicating through computer screens because "words can be hurtful".Yes, with dodge ball you might get hit in the head once or twice but come on, it is a ball, it wont kill you. Do you see basketball players go and cry to there coach after they get hit in the face. No, you don't, they suck it up! Taking away this game, is like taking away basketball, because we might get hurt with A BALL. Do you see anyone complaining about other games? No, didn't think so.
They say we need to move around more, but look around in dodge ball, duck duck goose, tag, red rover,etc your running! Last time i checked running was exercise. Now P.E teachers are coming up with some very interesting games like: duck duck duck, and upsy down. Hm... No exercise.
The physical department is all trying to cure obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, well making those types of games is never going to do the trick.
We created these games to have fun right? Well taking them away is just siding with the kids who hide in the corner doing nothing. I don't want to be that kid who never tried and was to afraid to play.
No pain, No gain.
