Or someone grabs the ball and kicks it away in the opposite direction. Or someone kicks the ball onto the school roof. Or the kicker ahead of you makes the third out. Or someone in the field dawdles along kicking the ball aimlessly, wasting the recess. Or the bell rings before you get your kick.
Accusations fly, blame, shouts, insults, anger, tears.
Disruption results when power is hoarded. Dysfunction results when power is imbalanced. When kids don't yet understand how to use the power for the satisfaction and good of all, the game ends. Not if we have a leader who empowers us to see beyond ourselves and our own selfish desires. I once had a teacher like that.
