ANSWERS
MY OPINION IS THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT HAVE TO COMPETE IN
OUT OF SCHOOL HOURS SPORTING ACTIVITIES. I
THINK THIS BECAUSE CHILDREN SHOULD MAKE
THEIR OWN DECISIONS AND ALSO IF THEY ARE
INJURED OR ILL, THEY SHOULD NOT BE FORCED
TO.
MY OPINION IS THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE
IN OUT OF SCHOOL HOUR SPORTING
ACTIVITIES. I THINK THAT CHILDREN SHOULD
HAVE A CHOICE IF THEY DO IT AND NOT UNLESS
IT IS IMPORTANT.
DOES ANYONE HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS?
