Either I've never experienced it or I do not recall it fully from the olden days<br /><br />However, from your description, it seems like a likely candidate for retirement from physical education class. Using children as targets in physical education is never a good idea. It can single out the less skilled and less developed children and could potentially lead to injury. For this same reason dodgeball is banned from many curricula. A lack of physical activity is another big problem. We want all children to be active and not just a select few or for just a short while. If any modifications could be added that would help improve the game.<br /><br />As we go out into the schools and become teachers, we will realize what games can and cannot be used in physical education class. It is up to our discretion and that of our peers to decide this.Jack Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849144709305983015noreply@blogger.com
