Middle Childhood Play Memories

I really enjoyed my middle childhood it, was a time of my life where I was on top of the world. I enjoyed recess and lunch time. I was a very atheltic child. My favorite playground activities were tetherball, handball, basketball, track, and badgamon. I was a tomboy and I loved playing and competing with the boys. My mother hated that I was very athletic. She would make me wear dresses thinking that they would keep me from running around and playing. She would get so mad when I came home with my dress dirty or ripped and my hair a mess she would ask what happened and I would just say I don't know. Finally she got the message that I was not going to change so she stopped making me wear dresses. I was in love with basketball and my favorite team was the Lakers. I went to Laker games reguarly and I wanted to be the next Magic Johnson. I enjoyed playing with my friends and most of them were boys. I wish that I could go back to those days for they were really fun.

The interests that I had as a child such as basketball and track I still have a passion for. I played basketball up untill high school when I had an injury to my knee and ankle. I could have still played but they did not have the WNBA back then if they did I probably would have tried out for it. I still play now with my sons and I am still a fan of the NBA except my favortie team is the Boston Celtics. I still love track and I enjoy watching my children participate in track. I am still a big sports fan I enjoy watching football, basketball and track. The only sport I participate in now is swimming and walking. I wish that I could have played for the WNBA but I guess I have to settle for watching it.

Teacher and Parent

There is a girl in your class named Amy. Amy's mom is a very dramatic person who always seems to blow things out of porportion. One day the children are outside during playtime and Amy is riding a bike. While she is riding the bike a boy named Johnny comes up to her and wants her to get off the bike. Amy tells him no that she was on it first. Johnny gets mad and pushes Amy off of the bike. Amy falls down and she scrapes her face, knee, and elbow. She cries for a little while then stops crying once the teacher has cleaned her wounds and talked to her. Johnny is benched and told he will have to stay in tomorrow during playtime. The teacher also tells Johnny that she will have to tell his parents what happened when they pick hime up. Johnny starts to cry and tell the teacher that he does not want to get in trouble. The teacher explains to Johnny what he did was wrong and that he should apoligize to Amy. Johnny apoligizes to Amy and later on in the day they are playing together in the class as if nothing ever happened. When Amy's mother comes to pick her up she sees the scrape on Amys face and says oh my god what happened. She starts ranting and raving wanting to know who did this to her her daughter. The teacher asks her to come down and tells her it is not as bad as it seems. She tells her what happened and tells her that it is all settled. Amy's mom states that she wants to speak with Johnny and the teacher tells her that she can not allow her to speak with Johnny. Amy's mother starts cussing and telling the teacher that she is not leaving the school untill she speaks with Johnny. She then states that she is going to sue Johnny and the school for what has happened to her daughter. She is yelling and carrying on and other parents are starting to come in the school and see this. The teacher sees that this is starting to get out of hand and goes to get the director. The director comes into the room and hears all of the comotion that Amy's mom is causing. If you were a director how would you handle the situation with Amy's mom?
