Did you ever wonder why you can’t play handball on the Room 14 handball courts? I interviewed many kids and found out that lots of students were upset with this rule. The adults doing yard duty also said they didn’t like the rule either! “To me, at lunch recess I would let them play handball there, but during kickball, it’s too crowded,” said Sophie.

I observed that kickball, which isn’t that crowded, is disrupted by mobs of 4th grade students playing tag. Kelly, the other yard duty, said “I think they should be able to play at lunch recess.”

But I also found out that some people say there is just not enough room. Many more people say they don’t like the rule and there are not enough handball courts to play on.

“If handball is too crowded, I would like to play on the other two courts near Room 14,” said Eric, a 5th grader I interviewed. When I talked with the other kids, they all agreed that they want to play handball there, too. In conclusion, kids were eager to play there and want to be allowed to do it.
