[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with recognizing extracurricular sports as PE (which I'd love to see) is that they're not necessarily coached by teachers. [/quote]
This.  There would need to be an established set of standards, a method for assessment, and some oversight.  That's not possible with private clubs.

MCPS needs to increase its staffing for sports programs and teams to include non-elite players.  [/quote]

Why? Who cares? It's just supposed to be exercise- the kid can run around the track, walk around the track, whatever they want to do that gets them moving. Honestly, they could hire aids to monitor this (if they could find them). I also hated PE. Not every kid is athletically inclined and enjoys being humiliated during team sports like softball, volleyball etc., I think it's fine for elementary school but I would rather see the county spend more money on academic and special education teachers than PE teachers. All I remember is that our PE teachers in middle school used to stand around with a clipboard watching us do whatever the activity was. Not exactly a good use of teacher salaries.[/quote]
