A special kind of sport


As you might figure reading the blogs, there are both similarities and differences between the Danish and the American school system. One main difference is that a normal public high school such as Hoggard High includes students with disabilities in their school program, in a special class though.
Today we played kickball with the students from this special education class. Kickball is a bit like baseball, where you just kick a large ball with your feet instead of hitting it with a bat, but the exact rules were irrelevant in our version, which was all about having a good time. We started with every ‘special student’ chosing a Danish partner, maybe two. Then the teacher separated us into two teams, and we started playing. Of course there will be different levels of disabilities when you gather all of the students with special needs in one class, and the amount of activity in the game also varied according to which student you had been given. The game didn’t really find a winner, but as mentioned previously; the purpose of the game was to give the students a good experience, which I think they had.
