[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is harder to control the kids when they are spread out. Some gym teachers would rather not deal with unruly students outdoors. Also, when they only have 30-40 minutes, maybe they don't want to waste 10 minutes going outside.[/quote]

At our ES, PEs were 2 regular classes combined. Thus, a single PE class was around 50 kids. I can only imagine the additional challenges in lining up 50 kids for outdoor PE as well as dealing with a few strong personalities.

This thread has convinced me that PE should be inside. [/quote]

You rather have 50 kids inside one gym playing indoor soccer, maybe getting a 5 minute turn once out of the 35-40min - than outside playing on a full size soccer field?   :shock:

And since when is it a challenge to line up kids for PE or anything else?   :lol:   [b]Do teachers just not have a backbone anymore?  [/b]It is no different than lining up an entire grade to and from recess.   These excuses are laughable.

Also, why don't you have two PE teachers?  When we had portables, we received PT special teachers to help with the influx.  Why doesn't your school have that option?[/quote]

Are you in MCPS?  There is no way you are in MCPS if you don't understand the challenges that ESs face.

Teachers are in a really, really tough spot.  There is focus on PBIS, and a focus on not punishing kids.  So, there aren't really many consequences teachers can implement and the students know this.  Agree with the other PP.  If you've ever been around at recess, or volunteered for Field Day, it is insanity.  And, not much teachers can do.  We've had kids get into fights during PE!
