Joey and boxing;  Joey had a very good day at school today.  But there was one incident at lunch.  Not sure what started it but it seems that Joey was more sinned against than sinner.  But then over-reacted, not in the sense of crying but in squaring up to the other kid and taking a boxing stance.  It seems that there might well have been a fight had not a teacher intervened.  It also seems that a kid might get expelled for getting in a fight like this.  Not like in my day where if we were caught fighting and refused to make up, we were put in the boxing ring to sort it out.

Mrs H thinks that Joey should stop the boxing.  I am reluctant but understand.  I think that boxing is good for Joey and still believe that a boy/man does need to be able to look after himself physically.  You never know what might happen, and it is good for confidence.  Particularly if you are on the small side.  But we cannot risk Joey getting expelled so, sadly, I will take Ahmed that we will do the boxing no more.  A pity, as I was looking forward to using it to get fit as well!
