When You Play… Rough!
April 30th, 2010
Is it ok to play rough with your friends? (Applies especially to boys)
Well, YES, it is… Only IF you learn HOW to play nicely.
Take a look at the list of “Unwritten Rules” and think about it the next time you decide to play rough with your friend…
Unwritten Rules of Rough Play
- Engage only parties who “agree”.
- Be careful with weaker/smaller/female opponents.
- Avoid dangerous situations
- Expect that you might get hurt (physical/verbal) & don’t get too mad if you do get hurt.
- Be aware of when to stop! à Don’t wait for someone to get hurt to stop. Just have a little fun)
- Hold back your complete strength/words that might potentially hurt.
- Don’t offend/scare/others around you.
- Be responsible if things go wrong.

choose
what happens to you,
But you can

Books, paper certs, & money
can only take you so far.
We should really be
exemplifying and teaching
our children ATTITUDES
on how to live life
successfully.

Fantastic video on the progression of information technology, researched by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Brenman.
Points to ponder after you’ve watched the video (at least once):
How does the rapid, exponential progression of information technology affect
- how we learn in school?
- our future career choice?
- how we decide what information to gather?
- our life choices?

and it puts itself in our hands.
It hopes we’ve learned
something from yesterday.
