One of them I think was never an athlete but does coach and the other was an athlete and is a coach (neither coach Nico's sports). I think one of them might be retiring. How about you come teach in Wheaton and set the other one straight. :)AnnMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02152506646344966212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5919129287380410170.post-15398502195608451752011-11-20T06:40:45.279-08:002011-11-20T06:40:45.279-08:00Sounds like the PE teacher is trying to get the ki...Sounds like the PE teacher is trying to get the kids to do his job for him. Isn't the teacher the one who should be on the lookout for bad behavior in the class? Why should it be a child's responsibility? Good grief. I can see why you're frustrated.Kendra Marevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15632083876800892636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5919129287380410170.post-90920523495586500092011-11-20T03:34:02.200-08:002011-11-20T03:34:02.200-08:00I have worked with PE teachers like the one, you ...I have worked with PE teachers like the one, you describe. Many are former athletes who are 1) still living their "glory days", or 2) living vicariously through their students and teams. These are the folks who are teaching so they can coach. Their daily focus is really on the next game, season, team, etc. Being a physical EDUCATOR is just something they do to scout, recruit and groom the students for their programs. Its not right, shame on administrators who look the other way. Most admin leave thePE dept alone because they are not familiar with best practices in that curricular area. So sorry Nico ( and you) are dealing with this. Its just so unecessary. Pleade let me know how I can help!Caramonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11539546121450604525noreply@blogger.com
