Was dodge ball really removed from gym class because children
were having issues with losing...?
And their feelings were being hurt?
Answer
The playing of dodge ball was not removed from all schools in the us. and yes it was because their feelings were being hurt.people think that kidren must be protected from any type of physical harm, even a skinned knee so they used that as the excuse. (this causes kidren to be afraid of e little thing)but if you followed the news reports and interviews that were being done, you would have heard those people in favor of removing it say that because kidren were getting picked last and were humiliated at having been hit out. that this game was detrimental to their self esteem.we are raising a generation of wimps and whiners. that do not know how to compete in the real world.getting a bruise or scrapped leg will not destroy a kid (it will make them emotionally stronger if left to stand on their own) unless we continue to coddle and sympathize with their hurt feelings.
