http://mrwendler.files.wordpress.com Why can’t we skateboard in the halls? I think we should be able to skateboard in the halls because then we would be more active. It would help us get to class quicker. We could learn about teaching by demonstrating how to do tricks to younger students. We could have competitions with other schools. It could be part of gym class. Some kids who walk to school could skateboard instead so they won’t be late as often. We could help teachers too by helping them move things using our skateboards. Students should have permission to use skateboards in the halls.
