484 1109607821 years, physical educators considered different public school teachers. ’s just teach gymnasiums open air. ’s belief offer class focuses body brain. Believing physical activity skill development important, ’ve happy teachers assume responsibility academics. Physical education, argue, valuable doesn’t need be justified any contribution reading, writing, arithmetic. Unfortunately, attitude behaviors associated results negative consequences profession. Consider example, primary mission public schools. Physical educators overlook fact improving children’s health central school’s mission. School boards administrators held accountable student health. school officials argue children’s health parental school responsibility. Today’s schools judged student test scores. environment ’s surprising school administrators eager find ways increase time spent developing basic academic skills. physical educators country learning, reducing PE time easy way boost “academic” time. ? reasons already noted, wrong response ignore ways support academic curriculum. example, absent students perform anything. Unhealthy students school . point PE potential improve health decrease absences connect academics. long ago, California schools fitness data suggested relationship physical fitness academic performance - another opportunity connect classroom. evidence supporting brain-based connection physical activity learning remains speculative, ’s probably point possible relationships. Finally, common sense standpoint, need remind school officials perform physical activity breaks. sense expect young people – already physically stressed turmoil growth development – learn effectively kept inactive long periods time? addition making academic connection also reflect behaviors undermine respect public school physical education. example, physical educators - • Attend fully involve staff meetings discussions about academic curriculum? • Participate , provide leadership , school teacher committees? • Accept class sizes be permitted regular classroom? • Allow encourage students call “Coach” name ., ., Ms? • Fail switch street clothes outside gym? • Grade student performance effort participation achievement? • Teach lesson plans, choose activities personal favorites, fail follow written, sequential K-12 curriculum? consequences different concern . Classroom teachers look PE teaching easy option. don’t see assessing, grading planning lessons ’s easy understand perspective. Unfortunately, lack respect translates lack support PE programs face axe. freedoms physical educators long enjoyed – primarily accountability student learning free choice subject matter come price. look future ’t help wonder different continue afford.
