Sports in schools (James)

 

1.  Should girls be allowed to play boys sport’s teams?  Why/ why not?   What could a girl bring to a team?  What problems could it cause?  What would could be learned from it?

I don’t think girls should play sports because they could get hurt and most girls are smaller than boys and then the girls parents would want to sue the schools or something. They would have to get another changing room for girls because they can’t change in front of the boys and they whine a lot and sometimes boys and girls don’t get along

2. Americans put a strong emphasis on sports in schools, some people think almost too much.  Should we have sports teams in schools or should we get rid of these teams?  Why/ Why not?

I don’t think they should get rid of sports in school because it motivates some kids to keep their grades up so their eligible to play.

3.  Many people think athletes get it easy in school.  Do you think many schools take it easy on their athletes (easier classes, nicer on grading, etc)?  Or rather, do you think it’s harder for athletes in school because of all they do after school?

everybody else?  What is the good thing about that?  What problems can it cause?

I think they got it just as everyone else because in my middle school football team players were always ineligible and some were eligible so it is depending if you do your work or not and I don’t think its harder because you need to train to get better at a sport so you can become good at it. It can cause kids to take their personal time and go to practice.
