While looking around the internet and reading dirrerent articles, I
have realized that many people think that P.E. teachers are not doing
thier job. Have you hanged around kids these days? I think you are
being a little harsh when talking about Physical Education teacher. Do
you know what some students do once they leave school? It is hard to
become healthy when you are only active for 30 mins at school. Sitting
in front of the T.V. and cooking mac & cheese is not a way to live your
life. It is sad that it every got to this point, but it can not be
blamed on the school staff. No matter how much the teacher cares, it
will have a small effect on the students. We have a great gym teacher
at our school, and we still struggle with unhealty students.
Thank you
