Answer 1

1.0 Relays come in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the game's mechanics.

One type of relay involves a team performing the same work with each member of the group (such as a 100 meter relay). A different type of relay is a series of different challenges in which one (or more) members of the team must accomplish each stage before moving on to the next. This is more akin to what you could see in many Survivor team challenges. If the game requires that all players complete the same task, I would exercise caution. I'd either excuse the child so they wouldn't have to participate, or I'd encourage the child to join in a "do the best you can" manner. If the challenge is to run and the child does not believe they can burst into a full sprint with their prosthetic, it is entirely acceptable for them to merely walk, and I urge them to do the best they can without endangering themselves. If the task was something like jumping hurdles, which was impossible with the prosthetic, I would instruct them to weave between the hurdles like cones, and I would encourage them that this is an equally viable and equal form of participation. Rather than simply excusing the child, I want to create alternative methods for them to engage in some capacity. Excusing them separates them from their colleagues and perpetuates the notion that they are incompetent. Many people suffer physical obstacles and nevertheless manage to accomplish incredible feats. I'd like to instill in the child both the belief that they belong among their peers, that they are capable of working with others and having fun, and that when faced with challenges, they should always be prepared to do what they can and try their hardest, rather than giving up before they've even started. When I was at school, I remember seeing a child in a wheelchair. When we were performing Presidential Physical Fitness, we were advised to do push-ups, but he couldn't since he couldn't move his body below the waist and couldn't do push-ups. He didn't have to do them, according to the teacher. He informed his teacher. You don't let me know what I can and can't do. Then he wheeled to the end of the line, put his hands on the armrests of his wheelchair, and lifted his body up and down out of the seat, effectively doing the "dip" exercise instead of push-ups, but very much taking advantage of the chance to show off the amount of upper body strength he had built up by being in a wheelchair and doing everything with his arms. We tallied his dips the same way we counted his push-ups, and he was one of the class's top scores, impressing everyone with his dedication and ability. When there are numerous duties, the alternate way of relay is to choose the task that is best suited for a person with a prosthetic limb and allocate it to them. 1. one individual completes a 100-meter dash,

2. Next, a rope is climbed and a bell is rung.

3. a third person throws balls till they strike a target

4. The final individual crawls to the finish line on their hands and knees via a series of obstacles.

Even if the youngster instantly responds with a "I can't do that" in response to the description of #1, by instructing them to patiently wait for all instructions, they might be staged in position #3 for their team with no problems.

2.0 I'd start by conducting a background check on both candidates' past behaviour.

Example: Based on their conduct, both Biden and Trump have "Narcissistic Personality Disorders." (I've worked in mental health treatment for 30 years and know many patients hide things because they become confused quickly.)

I'd look into both candidates' political backgrounds (how long they've been involved in school politics) and compare all of the facts about what they've done to boost our school's educational quality.

I would vote for the candidate who has done the most to improve our school's educational years for all of our children. I'd vote for the candidate who has the fewest unfavorable attributes.
