Interesting article on how to improve our physical education classes in order to make them more relevant in today's world. Much of it is common sense and the author does seem to overstate the problems with touching but all in all a very thought provoking article.
Excerpt
Current physical education programs are mindless. Most consist of learning how to play different sports and games every few weeks. Quite frankly, you probably won't play most ever again. If you do, then it's your choice, and it is learned informally playing with friends, and family or formally on after school sporting teams. It is odd that such a useless class is required. What about the exercise factor? We'll it doesn't seem to effective since there are more overweight & out of shape kids than there has ever been before. It's time for physical education teachers, and school board officials to get their acts together.
