What my students know

i freakin wish you were my teacher!!! ugh.

my gym teachers are idiots. they make us "do the machines" instead of the perfectly usable weight room we have. -_-
 
who the heck? i guess band geeks offend them -_-'

prejudic3
 
I didn't have to take PE in high school either, only in jr.high, b/c of band. We had 2 wks of summer practice, the 1 & 1/2 hour long class a day during school, plus afternoon practice from 3-5. I think that counts well enough for PE.

Oh, and pos rep for you. :)
 
Solid. How old are the guys you're teaching? I'm suprised at the amount of stuff you've been able to teach em. Some of that stuff probably belongs in the biology classroom.

They're 6th-12th grade. I basically took all my notes from my various kinesiology and nutrition classes and the various stuff I've learned through other texts. I then revamped it slightly so it's on more of a basic level that doesn't go into it being a biology class.

I do really like lecturing, but I keep my lectures to 30 minutes and under at a time and then let them go play an activity for the day-basketball, badmitton, flag football, dodgeball, scatter ball, etc

If I'm correct it's a joint PE and health class, right evo?

Yup. This is why they have to do a 1 week food/drink diary in which they log kcals, carbs, fat, and protein. They use fitday.com to track everything. Then they write a 1 page analysis on their dietary choices and how they can improve. A lot of them were actually surprised how badly they ate.

I also make them write me a 2-3 page research paper on a sport, physical activity, or health concern...I think this is English teacher in me begging to come out. :)

But I teach at an arts and science charter school that's ranked 17th in the nation. (Classen School of Advanced Studies). So, the parents, administration, and other teachers are more than happy to see me pushing them a bit.

Can you believe someone gave me neg rep for that last post?

This Rep system is not so accurate anyway. I don't consider myself an expert but I'm in decent shape and there are people who have a higher rep than myself and all they do is compain about why they're not losing weight eating 50% carbs and hardly working out...

...end of my semi-rant LOL...

How do you know what they say anyway? (comments)
 
Lol

Very funny... Someone changed me from 3 to 19 :eek:

(That made me literally laugh out loud! Had to pretend I was coughing so people at work wouldn't 'know' I'm not working but messing around)
