Should dodgeball be allowed in schools?
Article Toolsby Daphne Elzie
No, I do not think dodgeball should be allowed in school. It is a dangerous game, for kids to play. The ball is too hard,the kids should play something that takes more thinking behind it. Throwing a ball with intent to hit someone is not what I call a game kids should play. I do not see what the challenge is behind it. Children today need to play games and sports with some thinking behind it,like golf. That's right I said golf,atleast there is some thinking behind it,like practicing and choosing the iorn to swing with and oh yes how far can you hit the ball. There are even bully's who play because they want to hurt someone on purpose,that is a sad fact but it is true,which is why some schools have already banned dodgeball, not even for PE time is it allowed. Many schools have yet to take dodgeball out,but for safety reasons,I feel they all should get rid of dodgeball.
