On my Familyblog I posted about Basketball being the only thing they do in PE. I want to post that I wrote to the state person in charge of policy about the PE policy. Hopefully I will recieve an answer.
I actually was so angry about my child's time being wasted 3 years ago that I put together a comprehensive plan myself. No I don't have a degree in Physical Education. I don't have a teaching certificate. I found and compiled rules, diagrams, scoring information and charts, and detailed instructions on playing over 24 sports that could be done in a school (field trips to bowling, skating, and swimming). I did three complete units and made packets that included tests, quizzes and the entire teaching unit. I outlined the other 21. It was not rocket science. I didn't do a lot of research. I compiled stuff that was free and available on the internet. I was really proud of my packet. My husband was running for school board at the time and suggested I ... don't... so I didn't... but now I am still mad at myself for not... giving it to someone who cared. If there is such a person. Because the PE program is, if anything, worse now. And not scheduled to improve, despite front page articles on Louisiana children getting a grade of D in activity. What I did was what I expect every single PE ... supervisor (I can't bring myself to call them teachers!) to do. It wasn't hard. It just took some interest. Teaching is hard work. It's not sitting in your office while the boys shoot baskets.
