I have a theory that all the fat kids and geeks who were put in goal at school because they were crap at sport now run the whole workings of the education system.  |
Interesting point, I hated sport,(when I did do it) because I hated playing football. PE teachers are obsessed with the game, they think it's the only PA that exists. I blame the teachers for being cr p. What I don't think is that PE should be took off the curriculum. I think they should have decent teachers, that give a variety of activities and make sure that every kid is enjoying them as much as they can. Not stuffed in goal because they're crap. They know thats why they're in there, and thats why they don't wanna play.
I never really did sport when I was at school, it wouldn't have been very practical. I used to sit i the library bored out my mind. when I was at middle school I enjoyed rounders, I was good at that, so maybe I'd have enjoyed cricket. Shame I never really got to try.
