I have been teaching Physical Education for over 25 years and I was not trained to be a reading or writing teacher. At the present time when cardiovascular disease and diabetes are on the increase as are other chronic disease an emphasis should be placed on Physical Education, Our students should learn lifetime activities that can help them to naturally combat these problems. Yes there is a place for writing and reading and its in the classroom.<br />This is a plan against all Physical Education teachers and Art and Music teachers to include them in the rating process when the test grades drop in their school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-7857108006712562002014-11-15T20:52:08.440-05:002014-11-15T20:52:08.440-05:00No. Math and ELA skills, as they are used in all ...No. Math and ELA skills, as they are used in all other subjects fall under the CCLS.

The problem is not that these things are bad. (They can in fact be a positive addition to PE units) The problem is that PE teachers are getting written up for not implementing these things to the likings of admins who know nothing about PE. Incorporating language arts and math should be at the discretion of the PE teacher, not some suit who has no background in PE. Lastly, PE teachers should not have to reinvent their programs to fit the desires of the hedge fund goons who are pushing common core. Kids spending their PE classes writing, reading and doing math makes about as much sense as playing kickball during an algebra class. We need to let kids be kids and let PE teachers be PE teachers who work with these kids so they can learn to PLAY better!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-88820650699591085362014-11-13T13:01:47.083-05:002014-11-13T13:01:47.083-05:00Common Core will break the public school monopoly....Common Core will break the public school monopoly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-77236404484147462332014-11-13T12:55:02.029-05:002014-11-13T12:55:02.029-05:00The question is, Who's telling them to do this...The question is, Who's telling them to do this?
