The whole idea of PT & PE is to help make pupils healthy and develop an interest in physical activities.
It is not so that a teacher can indulge their own personal ideas on the so-called talented few.
It is to educate all to the best of their ability.
Because of the useless gym teachers who could only indulge their football/rugby fantasies, fat lads like me got nowhere.
It was only upon leaving school that I could discover my potential.
From a kid who could not run 50 yards I self-taught myself long-distance running and discovered the delights of fencing, riding, golf etc. Subjects that were not even in our school inhibited imaginations.
Judging by the physical state of most youth today, nothing has changed.
