Y'all,
Here is my two cents on push ups. When I was at Collinsville they said
no pushups. At Maryville for some reason we do some. However this is what we do
okay. Basically if a boy misbehaves he has to do 20 pushups. If for some reason he
can't do push ups, that is fine. He can do jump and jacks, situps, run around the
place where we have Rangers. Or if he want to try the push up, but can't do 20. If
he can only 5 hey he did them
