middle schools should not have sports . for example kids could be inside working on school and sports could distract them . also sports could take up time that you would have for study/work time , and it would mean you have less time to work . middle schools should not have sports .

I think middle schools should have sports . for example you have a opportunity to try out a sport, and it can bring out self respect , over achieving things , self esteem , and exercise . wouldn't you rather ur child playing sports instead of inside doing school, or on their phone or even just laying down . middle schools should have sports .

I think that middle schools should not have sports because it could hurt students or distract them from class and that would put a lot more pressure on the teachers to keep there students paying attention on the class instead of whats going on outside or how they could win the next game or whatever thank you for your time.

Have you ever seen a movie or T.V. show where there  are middle school sports teams? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have sports teams at your middle school? I think middle schools should have sports because school sports help with weight loss, problem-solving skills, and self esteem.

First, middle schools should have sports teams because the sports can help with weight loss. As a student, you are always spending time doing things like hanging out with your friends, homework, or watching a movie. Having after school sports would help students get active.

Second, sports can help with problem-solving skills. As an athlete, you are always put into a situation where you have a defender on you and you need to make a fast decision. You quickly make a move around the defender or pass to a teammate. You also can wind up in a situation with a player on the other team. The player may be rude to you or another one of your teammates and you have to stand up to them.

Last, school sports can help with self esteem. When you win or score a point for your team, you can get super excited and more confident in yourself. That can feel really good and build up self esteem.

I believe that we should have sports, because they can make new friends, and they can get there daily exercise but more of there daily excursive!

# data[].attributes.body
Middle schools should have school sports because then they can be on the same team and make new friends from there school. Another reason is that you can earn more money for the school to do fun things like upgrade the technology. Also you can add clubs. My next reason is that you are able to exercise with friends and can be ready to learn the next day. Having school sports can be bad or good because kids could get in a fight and also they could be a big argument. This is why I think that middle schools shouldn't have sports.

I saw other points of view, and i discovered other peoples beliefs. Though I think we should have sports in schools I was asked to talk about the opposite of my opinion. This helped me to see why some people don't want to have sports in schools. I commented on someone who had the same claim has me, and i commented on someone who did'nt, i made a counterclaim has well. I think overall my claims and statements, and comments were strong, yet convincing and respectful at the same time!

I think Middle Schools Should not have sports for a few main reasons. To begin, After school sports can be a high risk of injury. 90% of students that participate in sports, have some sort of sports related injury. Another thing to note,  some students may do too much sports and will result in stress and falling behind. Doing too much is also a huge risk of injury. No student wants a sport that may overwhelm their life. In addition to the risk of sports, often times the extracurricular sport can get quite pricey, which can lead to and upset kid. While I understand that kids can get more physical activity and benefits from the sports, it is a high risk of injury or some traumatic accident. And while some people may think that sports can boost a students confidence, I must say that it can oftentimes stress kids out when they do much of their sport.  Theses are my few reasons why I think that Middle School Sports should not be allowed.

Most people will say that sports are good for kids because it gives them something to do there are some downsides of this two. My first example is kids may lose intros in there sport quickly. Some kids will want to do a sport or will be forced to do a sport but if you do school sports there is only so many options. If a kid wants to do wants to play football or soccer than school sports will support that, but if they want to play a different sport that isn't as common then middle school sports will most likely not support that. I personally play hockey and I don't think that a middle school has money to blow on a hockey rink so that won't be available. My second reason is injury. Statistics show that 90 present of kids Who play sports have some kind of sports related injury, So if middle schools have sports then basically just promoting kids to get injured. Some injuries even have a mental effect on kids like a concussion witch can lead to like I said learning problems and even not being able to go to school. witch brings me to my text topic profession sports players. Now yes if you are good enough a sport to " go pro" Then you should but people who are forced or introduced into sports by school to drop out of school for those same sports just seams wrong to me. My final reason is mental health. I talked a little bit about how some injuries like concussions can cause brain damage but I am not talking about that here, I am talking about mental health such as anxiety and depression. I speak from personal experience when I say that Sports can give kids anxiety because I have a light for of it. Nerve racking sports like soccer and football can give you mild forms of anxiety and Depression, So if school sport are giving kids mild forms of anxiety than that's probably not good, you don't really want kids walking around your school with anxiety and depression. anyway I think that middle school sports are bad for kids.

Yes, middle schools should have sports. i know that other may not like my choice but here are three reasons i think that middle schools should have sports. one it gives kids time off of schools to take a break and have fun. two it helps kids get to get a better friendship with people they dont know. three it gives them exercise instead of being on a electronic all day long.

Yes, Middle schools should have sports. I realize that others may believe the opposite, but the kids need to get active, playing sports also prevents anxiety and depression. Suicide rates will drop if more middle school and high school students play sports. Playing sports gives people the opportunity to become something more, it gives them  a light at the end of the tunnel, it gives them happiness. Also, sports can lead kids to better character building, this goes along with teamwork and leadership skills. It also keeps kids healthy, not just kids anyone can stay healthy by playing sports. Last but not least, playing sports is FUN!! You must allow your kids to play middle school sports.

 I understand that many people may believe that playing a sport has many benefits such as social interaction, high school and college credit, and activity being incorporated into their routines, we see that these activities are expensive, harmful, and distracting. It also pressures students to feel as if they are compelled to do well, if that's winning a game, scoring a point, or even just playing. Importantly, playing a sport can lead to anxiety, depression, mood swings, and professional management may be advised. it would be best for you to keep out of doing these sports , or if you're a parent interested in letting your child participate in school sports keep them out of these activities. Scientific studies have shown that playing a sport can be pressuring, stressful, and depressing. Tests have shown that these sports are expensive, harmful, and distracting. Your child will have to move things around in their schedule, and even drop out of classes just to continue as they progress. DON”T LET YOUR CHILD PLAY.

Middle schools should have sports because kids need to get out an exercise. Though schools might have gym it's better for them to enjoy themselves than getting told what to do by teachers, and it's important for them to get outside because being cooped up sitting in a chair would bore them, or get them super energetic to the point where they can't focus.

Middle Schools shouldn't have sports because of how dangerous and how much it costs to get equipment. Most of incidents from middle schools are because of kids rough housing around with sports, like tackle football or something else that involves shoving, or pushing. I also say this because some schools might not make enough money to buy the required equipment to add sports to their school.

Middle schools should have sports because they are a very good chance for teachers/students to  interact with other people. Sports are a way to bond with students and they even boost your mental health. Students tend to get more fidgety without something like gym or an after school sport. They also may get more agitated knowing that there is nothing for them to do after school that they enjoy. To conclude, sports make kids more responsible and they help to build leadership skills and the students may feel more confident about themselves if they do well in a game/match.
