Another person of privilege whining over at Salon. However, this woman, whining aside, actually does the right thing for the right reasons for her kids.
Disclosure: I never won at dodge ball, although i loved the game. At my school the coaches would occasionally snipe from the sidelines and take out players that were doing too well, so there was always the possibility of winning.

Dodgeball

I was pretty good at the dodge part. Much to the irritation of our PE teacher. I would drag on games by being the only person out there and no one on the other side could hit me. They'd even synchronize their throws to get me and couldn't. That led to the teacher sniping for me, and failing. Then he'd put more balls on the court. Which sometimes would do it. But usually allowing the other team to come up to the free throw line for basketball to then throw was usually my end. Being pummeled by the upper classmen.
I wasn't the best at hitting anyone with the ball though. Though my response to those pummelings was retaliatory. For those that were determined to rip my head off during the game, always throw for the groin. Watch when some one was throwing at them and then throw at the groin. Bounce shots into the groin. (doesn't get them out, but hurts like hell in any case.) Nasty? Damn right, but these people were intentionally trying to hurt me so I had no issue in intentionally trying to hurt them.
As for targetting the weak or clumsy. Never did. I had too much of a desire to knock out the ones that were good first. Knock out the officers and sergeants first, and the rest are sheep to the slaughter.
