I think it ridiculous that adults push their kids, and players to a limit they can not handle. I think that the adults are trying to live their dreams through their children, which is wrong. It is wrong because their child may not want to even be apart of the sports program. Kids should be […]

The essays were very interesting to read. I never thought of the various sports teams that have native american names offended people. I can definitely see the persons point of view. The other essay about kids and sports is a sad reality and should be stopped.

The first readings seemed to be a lot of common sense knowledge.  Things like where and how to study.  I am sure that will be more challenging in future readings becuase I think that it was more of an introduction.

I really enjoyed the readings along with the rest of the readings for the rest of my classes!

I really enjoyed reading these articles. The different view points were very insightful and interesting.

These readings showed a different side to arguing and how to do it the right way. Overall it was interesting.

the readings were very interesting, they made me think about my life. i hope to read more of them soon

I definitely think that sports are taken too seriously at a young age. As a child some sports were incredibly competitive. P

The biggest part of this essay that grabbed my attention was when the author stated how a parent set the opposing teams jersey on fire on the pitchers mound hoping to intimidate them. I think parents with their kids on sports teams are crazy, especially if their team is not winning. I related to this […]

I think that the two articles provided a good example on how to write an argument. “Children Need to Play, Not Compete” demonstrated a good way to show the side you take. She had a lot of credible sources that made her story seem legitimate. The “Stick and Stones and Sports Team Names” at first […]

I thought that the arguments were interesting. All though I did not agree with the arguments I thought that the arguments were very good and well written. When I read the first paragraph of each I just thought that it was dumb but as I kept reading I had to think about it a little […]

GSW 270-279 Reading the essay “Children Need to Play, Not Compete” was really a blast from the past for me. In High School I played every major competitive sport, Baseball, Basketball, and Football. I completely understand how the author says that it can sometimes become like a job because I got that same feeling. It […]

After reading “Children should play,not compete” I realized  from the article I found myself looking back onto my childhood life. I played football and my coaches were really competitive and wanted to win. I tried really hard to get better and found myself with a broken arm. People do not look into children’s sports like […]

I found both articles very interesting; however I took a particular liking to the reading entitled, “Children Need to Play, Not Compete”. I have a very sport oriented family, so naturally my brother and I grew up playing if not attempting just about everything. As well as my brother and I being a part of […]
