IN THIS QUESTION, THERE WERE ONLY TWO ANSWERS.THESE ARE SHOWN BELOW.MOST PEOPLE SAID THAT PEOPLE SHOULDN’T MISS SCHOOL FOR SPORTS AS YOU LOSE EDUCATION TIME.

Do you think all matches should be played in school hours? If no, please explain objections.

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.

MORGAN’S OPINION

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.
