Chapter
10 – Put Me In Coach
While students are
required to participate in physical education, they often do not get the time
necessary allotted to do so. This can be for a variety of reasons. Sometimes
the teachers do not want to take the class to do PE. Other times, the class
doesn’t go to PE because they are being punished for misbehavior – either as a
class or even just an individual’s actions. Whatever the reason, neglecting
physical education is a grave mistake.
Students need to
be exposed to physical activity, and also to the values that come along with
team sports and games. In order to be effective, physical education must be
executed correctly. Rafe explains that his main goals when it comes to PE are
as follows:
1. The students will get daily
exercise.
2. The students will learn the
importance of proper fundamentals.
3. The students will exhibit
outstanding sportsmanship.
4. The students will learn the
value of teamwork.
5. The students will apply the
lessons they learn from sports in other areas of their lives.
He
achieves these goals by selecting quality activities, allowing students to
practice independently, keeping score, records and statistics, and even taking
his classes to watch live sporting events.
