Now that I think about it, the first two sentences are closer to what I would rather implement than Risottia's.

Thats why PE curriculum needs to change. Use weights rotate muscles worked kick ball day will become an event once a six weeks.
Also grade children on their lfiting ability. You should be in the top 10% of you lifting ability to finish high school with a 4.0

In my area schools generally have a total of 1.5 hours of PE per week but I would welcome this being increased to 5 hours per week (i.e. one hour per day) with classes taking place at the end of the academic day. I'd like to see a strengthening of regulation against sick notes from parents with any request to be free from PE requiring a doctors note if more than one week off is surpassed. Ideally these classes would be supported by removal of vending machines from schools and provision of only healthy options in the school canteens.

I haven't taught PE for the last couple of years, as I'm in a learning support role at the moment, but back in the day PE cost virtually nothing. The equipment we had was good quality and built to last - we bought new balls every other year (they tend to get lost), and replaced everything else as needed. It was one of the smallest budgets in the school.
Yeah, I don't really remember gym class having too much equipment that seemed to need replaced all the time. I mean, they had some complicated gymnastics stuff, but that probably just needed some start up money and then very little maintenance after that.

In the provided syllabus, gymnastics is a single outcome for each stage level, and it's not a very in-depth one. I've seen schools get away with just mats and a springboard.

Fair enough. I remember at least one of my elementary schools had some sort of setup that had monkey bars and could have rings attached to it and some other junk that folded into the wall. They also had mats, a spring board, a balance beam, a horse (I think that's what it was called... this thing that you jump onto from the springboard) and I dunno, some other stuff.

Lunalia wrote:I'm not sure if my school handled PE the same as you, but in my school... a large amount of the PE course was tied up in handling mandates to "tie course subjects to other subjects." We had to sit and take written tests every other week. When we played team games, the least popular members of the team were never given the opportunity to play. I wasn't good at many sports, but in soccer, I was actually capable of making the ball go where I wanted it to, but since I wasn't very popular, I was always made to be the goalkeeper. Standing in front of the goal waiting for a chance to make a save while baking in the sun with no sunscreen does nothing for one's physical fitness. In the "let's play baseball" unit, there were so many people in the class that we had time for everyone to swing the bat once... and then class was over.
With that in mind, I think that if it were possible to divide PE into smaller time blocks, but to have fewer students in each time block, so that you don't end up with far too many people in the class to reasonably play whatever game they're supposed to be playing, that students would get more exercise than the current system, involving shoving thirty to forty students onto a field and saying go at it.
edit: I remember the one time I was actually able to play a game... during the volleyball unit, I ended up serving, and my team mates realized I was good, so they made sure to be in my team again the next day. Then I was hit in the back of the head with a ball from the team that was playing behind us, and the rest of the day was a dizzy blur...

You mean that brief part of a child's calorific intake for a day, if the school provides it at all?
If children are receiving poor nutrition and no exercise at home, scrapping PE will not solve this. Like, at all.

I have no problem with selling people those in schools. Water is something that the school should be providing for free, without exception. The thing about bottled water being healthier is mostly or entirely bollocks.

Tap water is free. Because some people want to drink bottled water doesn't mean that school must start providing bottled water for everyone.
