Appalled at
a half-dozen fifth-graders' exclusionary and unsportsmanlike behavior
on a new basketball court, a resourceful principal intervened next
recess to pick teams and set rules. Everyone was allowed to play.
Arguing, teasing, and intimidation resulted in benching. Eventually,
about 40 children of both sexes and all sizes were playing in two
mixed games daily. (MLH)
