What
is the problem?

I think
the problem is that Steve got to the 4 square first and John is
mad because John wanted to be the server but Steve got to the spot
first. Janisel
The
problem is that Steve is always the server and he won't let any
one else be the server. Mason

I think
the problem is that Steve keeps hogging the ball and being really
bossy. Jessica

I think
that in the second part it is a different problem because in the
first part the problem is John wants to be the server first instead
of Steve. In the second part the problem is that John thought the
ball was on the line but Megan said John was out because he missed
the ball and it wasn't on the line, it was out.

What
could someone do differently?

I think
someone else should be the server because Steve got to go the first
time and now someone else should go like John. Patrick
I think
if he doesn’t like the rules when they are playing four square
he should go find another game to play. Or he could go play with
his other friends. Or John could make new friends! Alicia

I think
that John should take his ball and leave if the kids don't cooperate
with him. Elena

Elementary School • Grade 5 • Halifax, Massachusetts:
I think
that if he doesn’t like the rules he shouldn’t play
four square or he could play another game with another friend or
he could meet some new friends and he could ask them if he could
play. John could just get along and play nice or they all could
make new rules so everyone could play four square. Katelyn

I think
that I would just leave and let them deal with it. Besides it doesn't
matter who serves. John should just stop being a jerk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think
that John shouldn't have yelled at his friends at all. Steve and
the two other girls should have just left when John started yelling
at them. John should have just gone with the line foul and everything
would have just have been fine. Jimmy
I think
that John should have asked nicely if he could serve, or he could
take turns with the others. Jacob

I
think that Steve shouldn't be able to be the server every game because
it doesn't give anybody else a chance. But I also don't think that
John should have stormed off with the ball.

Steve
should stop being bossy. I think that if Steve is going to be bossy
they should start a new game and they should say to him if he is
going to be bossy he can’t play. Natalie
How
could the situation be helped?

I think
that John should know how to play the game before getting into a
problem because he is going against the other people when he does
something wrong. Anonymous
I think
that Steve has to let other people be server because the day before
he was first. If Steve and John don't agree they should play ro,
chan, bo which means rock, paper, scissors, shu. Nelsmarie

Steve
should be a little nicer than he was being.
Alyssa
I
think Steven should take turns. Meghan
I think
that Steve should have let have let someone go first because he
went first the day before. Natalie

I think
that John should just play by the rules. I also think that Steve
could let other people have turns and not just have rules for who
gets there first. Michael
I think
that the boys should just get along. Alina
I think
that Steve should be server for the first half of recess and John
should be the server for the second half of recess because John
had to go get the ball so he didn't have time to call server. Elena

I think
that since Steve was it yesterday, John could be it and take turns.
This would be fair in my opinion. If this doesn't work they should
consult a teacher or coach for advice. Callie
I think
that Steve should have asked if he could serve the ball. John should
not have changed the rules without asking the other players. If
they both just started playing they would have never had that fight.

might
improve things for another day?

I think
that a way they can solve the problem is that they can have an adult
watch them play that knows the rules to make the game go smooth
and stop calling John names about being a sore loser.
DJ
I think
that if you asked a teacher to help it would be a lot better. I
think that the people wanting to play should take it to a teacher,
and have he/she decide what should be done about the problem. Then
they couldn't complain about someone being unfair if that happened.
Anna
I think
that they should take turns or they could ask a teacher what the
rules are but they should possibly switch off like one day one be
the server and the next day another and follow that pattern. Austin

I think
that Steve should go to John and ask him if he wants to be server
the next day instead of him. James

I think
that he should see what happens the next day, and if he still doesn’t
think the rules are fair he should play another game with some more
friends so he will have fun with friends that give him turns at
their game. Sarah
