I’ve noticed a lot of bullying on the basketball court and kickball field. For example: I witnessed somebody say, “you can’t play, because you can’t kick”. No big deal...Wrong! Of course, he or she will tell the teacher and the teacher will say, “Let him play”. Don’t you think
they should deal with it another way? I mean the bully will say that all the time if the teacher doesn’t handle it right. This is what I think the teacher should do, first, ask why the bully did that, (there should be no good reason) then tell he or she to walk the fence.
