Lol that’s terribad
Bahahahahahaha I was first! I’ve never been first! I feel so, well, ok I’m over it.
Why do you keep using that word? I do not think it means what you think it means…
Were you just having a conversation with yourself?
lol burned
There was a comment in there I swear, hah they need to leave a “comment was deleted” thing in there or something lol.
Walking…. yup…. and justin bieber is a boy
I’m quite confuzzled about this random phag(not to be confused with homosexual person,see south park episode#? for more info) calling other ppl noobs
south parks sucks lol
Dr. Strangelove’s granddaughter.
-.-
first
To fail.
I wonder where they hired that teacher.
the teacher is probably handicapped as well
In that case, maybe its a motivational reminder?
Keep walking.
this picture fails to amuse me
It’s not funny because it describes a violation of rules in basketball called walking or traveling (just the same for wheelchair basketball)
It is funny because of the double meaning of the word. If there were no valid explanation, it would just be stupid.
Is this even a classroom wall?
The kid is clearly walking (aka travelling), which is a violation in basketball.
Exactly! She stopped dribbling.
in wheelchair basketball, you can push your wheelchair twice in any direction without dribbling, but a third time without dribbling is traveling.
I do not see anything in the picture that conveys information about the number of times she has pushed without dribbling.
But that’s probably the fail.
OK, now I’m interested–how DO you play wheelchair basketball?
It’s very similar to stand-up basketball with a few modifications for the wheelchair. Baskets are the same height, game clock and shot clock the same. As stated, you can push twice without dribbling, a third time is traveling. The chair is considered part of the player, and based on that normal rules of contact (for calling fouls) apply. Also applies for how you determine out of bounds, thus, if you have the ball and one of your wheels touches the out of bounds line, it’s a turnover. There are classification rules, so that the game is not dominated by people with mild disabilities. If your footplates touch the floor while you have the ball, it’s a turnover. And you can’t leave your chair to chase the ball; that’s considered an unfair advantage over players who are unable to do that. Physical advantage fouls can be called.
When pushing twice in any direction, are you alowed to let it roll out? Like two strong pushes and you can roll to the other side of the field?
Yes, that is allowed.
Oh, one other thing. The double dribble rule does not exist in wheelchair basketball.
Heck of a cow catcher on the front of her wheelchair!
I am Wheely disturbed by the padding on the walls.
If you see padding on the walls then you are in the right place.LOL kidding.
out of your restraints again are we?
Trying to figure it out makes me tired.
Sorry, I hadn’t realised you spoke!
We had the same padding on our walls in middle school, because we shared a wall with another classroom… I promise I wasn’t in the loony bin.
You keep telling yourself that.
As the girl is obviously sitting, the word “walking” probably refers to the wheelchair instead.
Most likely altered by the photographer, like so many pictures on this site.
Who would be that stupid to make this mistake?
*headdesk*
ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
Where is everyone?
*tickes Jules*
(your sudden appearance scared the “l” out of me)
*flees*
Burma.
Avoiding the classroom humour ^
*rubs Ms B’s back in little circles*
(I used to do that for my babies, helped them sleep)
fail
The placement of the word “walking” may be a fail, but that wheelchair drawing is a WIN. Nice to see a drawing for kids depicting a modern sports wheelchair instead of an old clunky E&J Standard.
This is cruel
Wow, I can’t believe these are still being used in gym classes these days. They had those sets 20+ years ago.
btw, interesting timing for this entry. the National Wheelchair Basketball Association held its 2010 championships in Denver this past weekend. The Dallas Wheelchair Mavericks won their record 9th title in the Championship Division (the highest level; formerly called Division I). Cleveland won Division III and the University of Alabama won the Women’s Division (roll Tide roll, literally.
) There were also Varsity, Junior and Prep competitions. For full details go to nwba.org 
You idiots dont you see that there is velcro. that means any douche bag would do that thinking they are they are slick
I hate that kind of artwork. I can’t stand it NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I don’t see the problem. I’m in a chair and my daughters and I go ‘walking’ every day. My friend who is blind always tells my girls how happy she is to SEE them…don’t make this into something it isn’t.
Looks more like she’s throwing.
I fail to see how this is a “fail”. The teacher obviously wanted to show the kids how people with disabilities do the things other people do. It was intentional, I’m sure. No sense pointing and laughing at a cartoon character in a wheelchair saying, “Haha, you can’t WALK!”. She can get around just the same. It’s her own way of walking. I commend the teacher for trying to teach kids that “different” people really aren’t that different from the rest of us.
My daughter is disabled and non-verbal, yet when she grunts and coos and squeals, I say she’s “talking”. If someone laughed and said she wasn’t *really* talking, I’d probably hit them. She’s communicating in her own way and quite effectively at that. She’s talking, even if it’s not in the same way as those blessed with the ability of proper speech.
I love this blog, but sometimes you guys can really miss the mark on what is funny.
Clearly, the fact that you are all argueing with passion over something that is a very gentle humor is the true fail in this convo box.
it’s a big fail..
Walking is fun if you have feet.
almost…
Damn this political correctness shit!
Ooooooooohhhh damn. I can see the backlash from this fail coming.
XP
We have that same thing in the daycare I used to go to XD
I’m in a chair, and walking is my preferred term for how I get around in the world. If I’m moving quickly, then running may be a better fit, but it’s pretty accepted language in disabled communities. Much lees awkward than say stating I’m rolling, which conjures up entirely less accurate mental images. ..
