Black Friday=Broke Saturday

For most people Black Friday is the time to do some serious Christmas shopping, even before the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving and it is one of the most major shopping days in the United States, falling anywhere between November 23 and 29. While its not recognized as an official U.S holiday, many employees have that day off, except those working in retail.

There are many people that are like me and know that getting a good deal on things you don't really need is not worth losing precious hours of sleep. Basically while other people are getting bags under their eyes, my face is as fresh as ever. I personally think that  Black Friday is not the best because there are a lot of stores that have sales that are better, then on Black Friday.

Can Someone Be Too Smart?

Many people learn a lot of things and sometimes people learn faster than others but that does not  mean there too smart.This article has some helpful hints about being to smart. A lot of times kids learn at different passes but, that does not mean that the kids who learn faster are too smart. Also sometimes kids are able to skip a grade and that just means they already knew or know the things they needed to know for that grade level but, it still does not mean there to smart.

Sometimes kids learn a little quicker than others but, it still does not mean that there to smart it just means that they understand the work better than some of the other kids. Also sometimes the kids who don't learn as fast as others does not necessarily mean they are not smart. Not everyone learn at the same speed. For in stuns if someone is smart in Math, but has a hard time in English  it dose not mean they are too smart nor does it mean that they are not smart. As I was saying everyone has a different pass of learning.

So in my eyes can someone really be to smart; I really couldn't say because I have never met nor do I know anyone at this time that I can say is really to smart.


Black Friday!

Black Friday is always the Friday after Thanksgiving. Many people like to go shopping for Black Friday to get all the good deals. Some people even go on Thanksgiving to wait in lines so they get in the store first.Sometimes they go a couple days before Black Friday to be first in the door. Most go after they have dinner with there family's so they don't miss Thanksgiving.

Almost all of  the stores have Black Friday. They put there items on good sales so people go to them. A lot of people go to Black Friday so it gets really packed in stores and some times it gets swamped in the stores so it makes it hard to get the items you wanted. This article will explain what happens on Black Friday and some deals. Also this article talks about some of the stores and there was some other things they talk about like where you can go ,some bad behavior that happened at stores ,and  the places that have the best deals. 

Black Friday has a lot of great deals with many different items and even cars. So if your planing on getting a new car remember that Black Friday is the time to start shopping. Also for any other items.

Black Friday

Black Friday is crazy! It is the worst but best day to go shopping. Black Friday, the day following Thanksgiving Day, traditionally the beginning of early Christmas shopping.On this day, most major retailers open extremely early and offer promotional sales to kick off the holiday shopping season.Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many non-retail employers also view this day as a holiday along with Thanksgiving, giving their employees the day off, and so it increases the number of potential shoppers. It has been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005, although news reports, which at that time are inaccurate, have described it as the busiest shopping day of the year for a much longer period of time.

 On this day stores open extra early and some people would wait a day before the following time to get the best sales.Black Friday shopping is known for attracting aggressive crowds, with annual reports of assaults, shootings, and throngs of people trampling on other shoppers in an attempt to get the best deal on a product before supplies run out. I observed on the news a man stating, "if anyone pushed me or my family they're getting stabbed." This is just way aggressive and over doing it. Your seriously going to stab someone over sales? Last year there were gun shots in a store and around five people were shot! Also, In 2006, a man shopping at Best Buy was recorded on video assaulting another shopper.Walmart shoppers at a store outside Ohio, quickly flooded in the doors at opening, pinning several employees against stacks of merchandise. Nine shoppers in a California mall were injured, including an elderly woman who had to be taken to the hospital, when the crowd rushed to grab gift certificates that had been released from the ceiling.

During this day, Black Friday, Stores compete to get the most shoppers, so they give out the best deals. These stores may get very competitive. I have heard people say, "Why shop on that night when its dangerous when you can go back the next day?" If you go the next day than all those really good deals are gone and the little deals are left. But some people are just fine with only the little deals, they say, "Its better than getting nothing."

In conclusion, Black Friday is a dangerous, outrageous day to shop. If i was you i would not chose this day to go shopping, even though the deals are great. Because it is very dangerous. I would do what everyone else that doesn't care for Black Friday, go on Saturday.



A Little Bit of Black Friday

  For thousands of people, Black Friday is the day to do some serious Christmas shopping. Black Friday is after Thanksgiving and is one of the major shopping days in America. At this day many have the day off besides the ones who work at the big stores.
  Retailers began to give discounting prices after Thanksgiving to get a bigger crowd in the store. After that, the retailers began to see that the Friday after Thanksgiving was a day that many consumers went to stores to buy. The stores began to open from five am or even more earlier. They also began to send messages over the internet and in the newspaper to advertise Black Friday. And that is how people got into the Black Friday thing.
 Now, I might just gave you a little bit of information. That is because I, myself just researched a little bit of Black Friday. I already knew about it, I just didn't know a lot.

Black Friday and the sales and facts about it

Ah Black Friday. The week or weekend or day when half the population of California rush ravagely[sp.] and viciously into stores and malls and rip heads off and shove others just to get an item[s] for a GIANT price off. You probably want to know what Black Friday is, why they have huge ridiculously large sales, how it all started, and what Black Friday's "Black" is. Well, I don't know alot about it but I'll try my hardest to explain it to you, with the help I found from this article about it. So, first question: What is Black Friday? Well Black Friday is basically the day where they have HUGE sales for the most known 2 favorite holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas. Why they have these sales is because, well, think of a sweep. EVERYTHING MUST GO. Or, think of a store, with tons of items that are not being sold, so they make their own Black Friday and put REALLY low sales on it and BAM!!! People start rolling in and taking they're stuff! Just like a sweep. Now how it all started and what the "Black" means, you have to check out my article. But that is all what Black Friday is though.

people think their better than others


Have you ever thought about they people who are made fun of are less fortunate than the person their been pick on by. Well if you haven't now you can read about it in this post. So people who have more stuff than others for example money, clothes etc. tend to make of those who don't have as much as them. Why is this I think to myself? Then I came up with the idea that people who think are better than others make fun of people because they think their most powerful person. Then the people who are made fun of think this too because they see that the other person has better things than they do. But people shouldn't think this because everyone is equal no one is better than anyone. Yet, people still thinks this and its because they don't have any confidence in themselves to think that they are perfect the way they are and no one has they power to say that they aren't. For people who make fun of people, well they should just stop thinking like that because if you grow up thinking that one day you will realize that you don't always will have better things. But then it will be too late because you will look for in people and the will not help because of the way you acted. See it’s not good to mistreat people because they are less fortunate. I, mean imagine yourself in their place and think would you like to be made fun of just because someone has better things than you. Also you never know if you’re always going to have better things than others because maybe that other person might be more fortunate than you in the future. Then you’re not going to have nothing to say to them but to say that you’re sorry. So it’s not good to make fun of people because they are less fortunate than you are.

Bad or Good

  Animal experiments are necessary to medical science. Is it really necessary or is it animal cruelty. I agree and disagree that it is both bad and good. Personally I think that this is good. Many may disagree and some might agree with me. I do see where they can say that this might be animal cruelty. But I see it a different way than they do.
   The bad part of the animal experiments is that they get innocent animals and they do different tests on them and use different drugs on them. And they can even really hurt or scar them for life. And this is why a lot of people get angry or are irritated by knowing that. Not only do they test new medicines on the animals, but people also test cleaning products and cosmetics on the animals too! And I think that everyone  can say that they should only be tested for good reasons.
  But the reason why I think its good is because they can test and discover new cures for different diseases. Such as cancer. There are many children that are sick and need the cures. Some might say,''But what if the cure doesn't work and it kills the animal.'' Then, we know what to use and what not to use. And then they can try to come up with another cure. Because I know you don't want them to do the tests on humans. I'll rather want a animal to die than a human right!
  In conclusion I think that they should only be tested to find cures, not for cleaning products or for cosmetics.

Black Friday


Everyone knows about Black Friday. Well for those who don't know what it is it’s the day after thanksgiving and stores have many sales that day and lots of people go to buy things. So I read this article on Black Friday and it says people surprised retail researches for 2012 as national numbers set sale records. I read that their survey says that approximately 247 million people went to Black Friday. It says on average individual shoppers spent about 243 dollars during the Black Friday weekend. People say that shoppers were more particular this Black Friday. There’s even a person who owns a store and says that her store was strong in men shirts and ties and jackets and sweaters for women. Another thing she said was that mostly her customers were looking for good sales and mostly shopping for themselves. There is another store owner who says that when she accumulated her numbers they were down from 2011 Black Friday. The numbers were low but they still did well. She also said that her store was busy on black Friday and her store offered buy one get one half-off and people tended to buy a second item because of the half-off they would get. But she said mostly they were just shopping. She agreed that people at black Friday seemed to watch how much money they spend but they still seemed interested in buying things.  A target manger said that there were approximately 2,000 in line before the store opened.  The things that were big selling were electronics. Now you see that there are many sales on Black Friday.

Are your friends your friends no matter what?

People say that your friends are ALWAYS your friends no matter what. I give that a 1. [which means I strongly disagree with that]. I don't think that your friend are your friends no matter what because, well there are tons of examples why I don't think that is true. Like for one example, and this is the most used to end friendships, RUMORS. You know how your friend says, "You are my BFF no matter what!" Boy, was she wrong. After she said that, she trusts you enough to tell you a secret. She tells you that she likes this boy everyone knows. And she also told you NOT TO TELL ANYONE. So, after a while, you think,"It won't be that bad if I tell my friend." So you tell her not to tell anyone, and then she does the same thing, and now the secret is all over the school, all because of you. You're not a trustworthy person at all.  So your BFF finds out, and asks, "who spread my secret?" And the friend you first told, is pointing to you, saying, "She did!" And guess what? BFF girl turns to you, in tears, shouting,"WE ARE NOT BFFS ANYMORE!!" And runs away. You see, friends can not be, or are not your friends no matter what in these kind of situations and more. Friendships can end at the snap of a finger whether if it's rumors, drugs, car accidents, and many more. So that is why I do not agree.

Take a Stand.

It is time for us children to take a stand. Stand up for what you believe in and trust in yourself and what your doing not what others will think or say about you. If you have something deep in your heart that you just want to express about yourself then let it out, it doesnt matter what other peope will say. Dont let them get in your head. Thats their opinion and it shouldnt matter to you. I know that people will try to say things about you, or push you around, bug you whatever. But the point is, stand up for yourself and just brush them off your shoulders. If your trying to achieve something than do it, dont let anyne bring you down.

A lot of people will try to put you down. Say you want to get a scholarship and go to college , be a lawyer or the president. When other people find out some will say to you, "yeah right, you are crazy you cant do that. your going to fail." Honestly when they say that, they're probably just jealous that they cant commit them selfs to their goal like you can. Or they want to put someone down because once again they cant achieve their goal. If you realy love what you believe than go for it, take a stand. Prove them wrong.


You may not be the only one trying to do that one thing, or believe in it. There are other people out there that are just like you and want to achieve that goal and believe they can. Thats why when someone tells me they want to be a doctor or something like that i don't put them down and say mean things, i encourage them and say go for it! Because usually when someone says a negative comment to you about what your trying to do it brings you down and if you hear it a lot then your eventually going to change your mind and not do it anymore. But everyone has to have confidence in what they do and do it the best they can to prove people wrong, to live their life long dream.

In conclusion, don't let go of what your trying to achieve, go for it, do your best! Ignore what everyone says to you about it, brush them off your shoulders. They got nothing on you. Take a stand.

Thanksgiving

In 1621, the Plymouth colonist and the Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of  Thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn't until 1863, in the  midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving day to be held each November.

A big roasted and stuffed bird is the main event at Thanksgiving for most Americans. The feast shared by the Pilgrims and the Native Americans consisted of venison, various wild fowl and seafood, along with grains and vegetables of the harvest. While wild turkey was likely among the wild fowl it was not the focus of the meal. So how did this tradition come to be? It is speculated that a large amount of wild turkey wandering in the colonial America made the bird a popular choice for subsequent harvest feast.

A lot of people say that football is a huge part of Thanksgiving for most Americans. Whether its seeing the local rivals square off on the High School field on Thanksgiving morning, the NFL game in the afternoon or both, watching football is an essential part of the day's festivities for millions of people. The tradition began in 1934, with a game between the Lions and the Bears in Detroit, although there were games played on Thanksgiving as early as 1902. The first televised Thanksgiving game aired in 1956, prior to this, game were broadcast on radio.

Thanksgiving isn't just about food and watching football it is mostly about giving thanks for what you have and appreciating everything and everyone close to you. I love Thanksgiving because I love spending time with my family that i haven't seen in a while.I personally can't wait for thanks giving because it is the one day a year that everyone is mostly nice to each-other and appreciates one another.

The Thanksgiving delight!

Thanksgiving is a good holiday. There is many traditions that family's have.Also there is many things people do on thanksgiving day, like say what there thankful for. This article says many things about thanksgiving.

Most of the time family's have dinner together and the traditional food which is the turkey.Also the delicious pies.There is many other foods that go with the dinner like mashed potatoes, beets, or cranberry,  yams and many other very good foods including corn.

Also thanksgiving is a holiday that people say what there thankful for. Many people say what there thankful for on thanksgiving like how thankful it is to have a healthy family and thankful that we live in a safe country and all of this thankful day started many years ago long before I was born and yet I am thankful that we can enjoy being with family, enjoying good food and eating tell we cant  dare take another bite.

Another thing to be thankful for is watching my family prepare that golden turkey and the smell of sweet pie's cooking in the oven. Oh how good it will be when I get that first bite of apple pie, mu...mu.
         
This is why I am so thankful for thanksgiving; the good food, great family time and the time to have a reason for gaining a couple pounds.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a holiday many people celebrate and its a day were people give their thanks to the world. As I read in Wikipedia thanksgiving is mostly celebrated in the United States and Canada. In Canada its celebrated the second Monday of October but for the U.S. its celebrated the fourth Thursday of November. Our U.S thanksgiving history goes all the way back to the protestant reformation. This thanksgiving became very important during King Henry VII rule. So as you can see thanksgiving was very important back then as it is now in this time.
 
Thanksgiving for us is spending time with you family  and getting to catch up with whats being going on their lives. Some even go really far away to visit family they having seen in years and its because they want to see them to tell that hey are thankful for having such a great family. Another think other people do that care for everyone is holding food drives for people who need to eat and have no family to sit down with and celebrate thanksgiving. I bet these people feel cared about when people come to feed them because these people could probably be spending time with their family. But instead are hear feeding some one in need of it. So now that you know these things I hope you do something for thanksgiving that shows what you thankful in your.

Thanksgiving Traditions

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

In many American households, the Thanksgiving celebration has lost much of its original religious significance. Instead, it now centers on cooking and sharing a bountiful meal with family and friends. Turkey, a Thanksgiving feast , all over it has become all but the same with the holiday, may or may not have been on offer when the Pilgrims hosted the first feast in 1621. Today, however, nearly 90 percent of Americans eat the bird—whether roasted, baked or deep-fried , on Thanksgiving. Other traditional foods include stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. Volunteering is a common Thanksgiving Day activity, and communities often hold food drives and host free dinners for the less fortunate.

Parades have also become an official part of the holiday in cities and towns across the United States. Presented by Macy’s department store since 1924, New York City’s Thanksgiving Day parade is the largest and most famous, attracting some 2 to 3 million spectators along its 2.5-mile route and drawing an enormous television audience. It typically features marching bands, performers, detailed floats conveying various celebrities and giant balloons shaped like cartoon characters.

Beginning in the mid-20th century and perhaps even earlier, the president of the United States has “pardoned” one or two Thanksgiving turkeys each year, sparing the birds from slaughter and sending them to a farm for retirement. A number of U.S. governors also perform the annual turkey pardoning ritual.

Why Have P.E?

Recently I have read an article that talks about weather or not schools need to have P.E. Personally I don't think P.E is necessary. Of course some people will disagree with that and say that its helps you stay fit and a bunch of other things like that. P.E is a complete waste of time and the teachers are way to strict. They have many unfair rules. Students also never get to have any fun activities or games.

One of the reasons why we should not have P.E is because it actually has no point. Now some people might say that it helps you stay fit and decreases child obesity. It actually doesn't because all we do is run around in circles. Either way kids are going to get the exercise they need because they are always active and moving around. Anyways, if parents have a problem with there children being obese then maybe the parents should set a better example on how to eat healthier. P.E won't even help you stay fit because we only have so much time in a class period.

Another reason why we should not have P.E is mostly because of the teachers. Teachers are not really that fair. For example most teachers come out later than students and the students that are late still get in trouble. Teachers are way to strict ,they tell you to try your best and when you do it is still not good enough. Most of the time that students have in P.E is mostly boring because teachers can't or won't come up with really fun games.

So , there you have all the logical reasons why we shouldn't have P.E.

P.E. Really!?

P.E. is good for public schools. Other people might have different opinions on P.E. and if it's good or bad for schools. My opinion is that P.E. is good for kids in public schools. There are many reasons why P.E. is good for schools like it helps kids with physical endurance and to help kids get in some exercise so they don't get over weight etc...

P.E. is very important also. This article  tells you about P.E. and why it is good for kids and how it helps kids know why P.E. is good for them. Every school has P.E. for many reasons. Some students don't like when they have to do P.E. because they don't like to exercise daily and some don't like to run a lap or the mile. Others just don't like it at all but they don't have reasons why they don't like it they just say they don't.

Some kids might like to do P.E. more if there were more activities. Some kids say there P.E. classes need more activities in there P.E. classes like add some other sports that kids might like. Most P.E. classes have basketball, racket baseball, and volley ball. Sometimes they let kids pay racket baseball or flag football. If they let kids choose what they want to play instead of telling them what there playing they might enjoy P.E. a little more. I don't really know why it matters what you play or what activities you do in P.E because it's good for kids to play different sports or activities.

Some people think things in P.E. should not be played like dodge ball. A lot of people say dodge ball is bad for kids and it traumatizes kids. Others say that dodge ball is good for kids and helps them learn to be self-confident.

P.E. is very important so schools should have it every day at school. The more kids do P.E. the better they will be. There are many advantages for kids to do be. They will have a better physical endurance and physical motivation.

Some kids get motivated in P.E. when they have competitions with other classes. Also when they have different sports to play and activities they enjoy doing.


Gum in School

   Gum in school.I always see someone with gum in school at least five times a day.Students like gum because it has good flavor, doesn't leave crumbs on the floor and you just have to chew. Than just holding it or getting it with a fork or spoon. But teachers don't like it. Because its sticky, hard to get off the floor or under the desks. NO, not orAND under the desks.You think that  a teacher or a custodian likes to pick up old or sometimes wet, sticky gum that came from someones mouth? That's why there are rules at school. I really don't know that the students are going to follow the rules.And I don't know the rules also. Because I don't take gum to school. But I did hear that if you get caught with gum, you have to serve a after school clean up. Either you have to pick up trash or get a can, a full can of  gum. You have to scoop up the gum from under the desks or outside. I personally think that,that is disgusting. But they could avoided that I they didn't chew the gum in class. Than instead outside after school. Even that students know the consequences, I still think that the students are still going to chew gum during class or any time during school.

Do We Really need P.E


YES P.E is necessary for every school. Its helps people who are over weight get exercise. I read this article that talks about if p.e should be mandatory and there's one who agrees and one who doesn't. The one that does agrees says it should be mandatory because it teaches kids the importance of being healthy and I agree with that because you wouldn't want a kid to be unhealthy because they don't have p.e? No you want a kid to be healthy so they can live their life's perfectly. Some say they don't need p.e because they exercise outside of school. Like i said some not all and for all we know they might be lying to us and when they go home they don't exercise but waste their time on something else. So its better that we have p.e in school that way everyone exercise. Even if you don't like you will thank your teachers that you exercise and know your not overweight having health problems. Now some might be already saying this doesn't apply to because your in good shape and don't exercise. But if you don't exercise and your in good shape you can gain weight easily because your not exercising and its harder to lose weight then gain it. when you don't exercise and are in good shape you will gain weight and that really easy but when you notice your body is changing you will try to lose weight. Then that's hard because you have to have exercise a lot for along time. Also when you gain weight some might find you unappealing and make fun of you. So its better that you start exercising in p.e now before you realize you want to exercise but then not to late I guess but it will be harder. Now you know all the reasons why I think p.e is necessary and hope I changed the minds of people who think, p.e isn't necessary.

P.E. is Good Man!!!

Photo Credit.
Alot of kids say that P.E. sucks and it's boring. Those are fat, lazy people and THEY suck! P.E. is Good man!! It keeps you in shape, it is energizing, and most of all, it's FUN!! P.E. is good for alot of things. First, Excercise. That is the main reason why kids should have P.E. . It keeps you in shape, it is healthy for your body, and it will give you strength, endurance, and energy and stamina! [ You fat kids better be listening to this! ]
        Another reason why, is the sports! P.E. can't be P.E. without sports. There are Tons and thousands of sports that you can choose from. Fastball, Football, Dodgeball, soccer,basketball, kickball, track/running [ my absouleute favorite, ] Etc. ! Even body building! No matter which one you do, it's fun as long as you know the rules and your ready. Those also help you and your body! [ You fatties taking notes? ]
         The last reason why P.E. should be allowed, is because of the communication! Alot of sports takes teamwork, stradegy, sportsmanship, and help! P.E. activities with partnership helps you communicate with your peers and also helps you get to know that person. It takes good partner and sportsmanship to make plans and stradegy. [ Hope you fat and lazy kids got this info! ] P.E. is really good for everyone. To me, the only thing that I hate about P.E. is going to the Gym and doing nothing, and Hot weather. Everybody else hates P.E. period. I don't get you lazy fat kids. And some alot of other kids say it's the teachers. They're only trying to help you guys. YOU'RE the ones giving them a hard time! 

Pe For Schools?

Should students have a PE class? Yes, they should. Because PE is a good exercise for those that do not exercise at home. A lot of students disagree because they're too lazy to get off their butts and do a few stretches or run. Its just one period, you will survive. A few suggestions for PE is that maybe it should be an elective, like recommended, or an after school program.

If Pe. was an elective for schools, then for those kids that don't want to do PE only have to do it for one semester. So this way they still get the excersize they need that year. And for those that do want to do Pe can retake it or become an Aid. An aid is someone who is like the teachers helper. They help but basketballs away, help with the students ect. This way they don't have the hassle of getting dressed or being late for class all year.

Another thing that would help is an after school program of PE. This way its on your own time, and you wont have to worry about rushing so your not late for class, or anything related to that. This way if parents want their kids to be more athletic they can just sign their child up for the after school program. And all the kids that have the desire to do PE can sign up and have their free time of excersizing. 

Or maybe even play activities with the kids that they like. For example, tag, baseball,football etc. Have the class choose so its fair on what was chosen to play. Although one game I highly recommend that you do not play is Dodge ball. Dodge ball is a very dangerous game. some one can get hurt easily. This game also conducts violence. Some PE teachers think its a game that gets the children going. You cant stay in one spot and its enjoyable. Well, what about all those kids that get hit? Imagine how left out or hurt they feel. Like what if you choose teams and this girl is on the same team as her friends and theres a girl on the other team that they dislike. So they start playing and the girl and her friends decide to team up on her to hurt her or are looking for the perfect moment to just deck her in the face with the ball.

In conclusion, PE should be aloud at schools because its good exercise for those that don't play at home. If not as a regular class then an elective or after school program. Just as long as any kind of moving activity is involved during school. Activities wise, team games are acceptable except dodge ball. Dodge ball is a game of violence and injury. Therefore it should not be aloud.

PE... Good or Bad?

Is P.E. good or bad? Personally I think its good.Because its good exercise and it keeps you in shape.Also its good so that its good so that kids can have a less chances to be obeised. So let me tell you this. Would like to stay outside to run and play games or stay inside to do work and study indoors. I would like to go outside and do some running or exercise than being stuck inside being bored and doing work.

Now about the games. There are many kinds of games. For example : soccer , flag football , track and field ,  baseball , basketball, etc. These are entertaining, fun and good exercise games for students to play with. Also students like these games. If we played these games there will be less students wandering around. There will be more students playing.they will also be having more fun than just running laps and doing stretches. Also these are good games to practice so students can be more active and it will be good games to use to practice running. So the students can be ready to run a mile. And will be more fit than before.

And now the game that people like and dislike. DODGE BALL. Many people like it because that game is active. And you can catch , dodge and throw the ball. And that is why some people don't like it. Because of throwing the ball. I agree about that. Some people throw the ball to hard and can hurt other people.  But that doesn't mean that I don't like the game. I just think that it should have rules that can be more logical. Like not throwing towards the face.

As you can see , I think that P.E. is a very important class for every one not just for the ones who need it.
