6. Dodge dodgeball "Human target games (e.g., dodgeball) and drills that promote aggressive behaviors by attacking and overpowering other humans are not (to) be permitted," the standards say. "That's a personal pet peeve for me," Comeaux said. One, the whole point of the game is to eliminate children, who then wait on the sidelines, inactive. Two, "many children get hurt," he said. The Society of Health and Physical Educators points out in a position paper that children are taught not to hit each other. Dodgeball "contradicts the goal of creating and maintaining a positive school climate." Plus it doesn't burn that many calories, especially once a child is out. It "serves only to alienate many students from physical activity."
Thanks Obama

What a fricking joke.

If you're in LA public schools, this should be the least of your worries.

I am listening to Walton and Johnson talk about this.
They said no competitive games for 5th grade and under

You can take my dodgeball but you can't take my popping small kids with rolled up towels in the locker room.

I have no problem with dodgeball being played by miss at school, but there's no doubt it was the most injury causing game we played in p.e.

I went to a small parochial school, and in 7th grade we used to play a variation called battle ball. A senior on the baseball team was in my gym class. He nailed me in the head. I just remember waking up on the floor.
While I still had fun playing, I was certainly an easy target with that kind of age discrepancy.

Rule #2:
quote:
Through fifth grade, "highly competitive activities should be discouraged so that students of all abilities will experience success and self-confidence," the standards say. Teachers should avoid "putting students on display" and having children choose team members. Furthermore, "expectations for students' fitness levels should be established on a personal basis rather than setting a single standard for all students at a given grade level." The point is for everyone to embrace fitness and find it fun.

Weak

Dodgeball at Shenandoah Elementary back in the early 90's separated the weak from the strong. Is kickball next?

Ridiculous

You sashay up to the line to grab a loose ball and take two or three shots to the face

One kid had to go to the er to get a contact that was shoved back into his eye. Another was knocked out when he was backing up and fell back into the concrete gym wall.
I didn't say it was rugby or anything.
