Stabs 3 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 PE over here is taken very seriously and kids have to do theory, which is biology and nutritional based studies, which they are graded on, as well as the actual PE itself. As a nation, they are obsessed with sport. I was lucky in that I went to a proper "old school" school, and I played cricket for them, rugby, football and cross country. I also played football for the town as well as rugby, and in my experience there was always lots of opportunity to do sport outside of school as well as within it. Our YMCA ran a lot of sports and I started martial arts there. RE was compulsory up until 14 I think and we learned loads about front wheel skids, and Buddhists, although we did get to watch some series with Lovejoy playing Judas. Load of shite if you ask me. Did it teach me to respect others religions? Probably taught me a bit about why "Paki Phil" couldn't come to assembly, but that's about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Cutting the funding doesn't mean less sport. Bout time they found more inventive ways to exercise, since when does kicking a ball round a field or running cost money? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bout time they found more inventive ways to exercise, since when does kicking a ball round a field or running cost money? Or walking to school? I walked to school and back when I was a teenager - 45 mins each way in all weather, free exercise and time to chat with my mates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
