Sports

Middle/High School Students

FYI:
  1. Every student in the class must post.
  2. Posts must be (5) five or more complete sentences. 
  3. You must give a (reflective, thoughtful, opinionated, enlightening) response to one other students post in the forum.



Sports are awesome and beneficial in many ways, or are they? That is a debate amongst many parents, former athletes and ordinary people. Some individuals see the value in school and team sports and others do not. What are your opinions on sports? Good or bad opinions, views and thoughts are welcomed. Remember we are bringing about conversation, thought and new perspectives. What do they teach us? How do they help us develop? Is what we learn in an organized sport, valued? Can we take and utilize the information and experiences we learned through team sports and apply it to life?

  1. I personally believe sports in school is a necessity. Having technology at my fingertips, sports are the only thing that really gets me to come out of the house and exercise. Not only does it do that but it motivates me to go out and do outdoor activities as these are some of the first I participate in. Also, the best bonds I've had with people come from playing sports and getting to know them on the field and off the field. My last point is that they teach you not to give up, sports are psychically demanding and you have to make and have motivation which leaks into other things i do in life. Having personal success in these activities leads to success in the work force and in life.

  2. i think sports are awsome and beneficial in many ways because they could help learn differnt spratigys, i think that the sports are awsome some students play some dont want to but unlike myself i dont play because i had a job after school to pay for insurance for my car and other things.they help use become better listeners because you have to listen to the couch to know how to play.i think that sports help apply to life because you become a listener and for a job ect you have to listen to your boss or you would get fired. that is my thoughts and opinions on sports and how they help use develope.

    1. You brought up some great points, but I must point out that your grammar is not up to par. It negates your post due to your lack of effort in reading over your comment before submission.

  3. I think having sports is great. Playing sports in school help teach an individual a lot of important skills. Managing school work and sports for instance, for some people it might be difficult to balance multiple tasks at one but you also need to relize you have a commitment to the sport you're playing while having to get good grades so you need to work hard and not fall behind, which also teaches you responsibility, time management, and problem solving. It will also help with social skills and team work. You have to talk to your teammates and interact with the opposite team. You have to work together.

    2. I agree with the responsibility aspect because you have to manage yourself and your work for many aspects and know what's really important to you

  4. having sports in a school environment is great. it doesnt just allow students to have fun, but it pushes them to be fit and keep up the grades. Also sports keep the community together and can get you recognized into bigger places. sports can help you get a scholarship to secondary education for little to no cost if you are good enough to do so. so i see sports as a great way to get students active and get them some recognition that they deserve.

    1. I too like your addition to why sports are a great thing in a community and in school. However your grammar is not acceptable, you are better than that! It removes value to your post with such a mistake.
