I was a physical education teacher for 20 years and I am now an administrator. What the teacher is doing is a form of physical abuse. Essentially, he is conditioning your son to dislike exercise.

You need to contact either the supervisor of physical education or the principal immediately. Physical education is extremely important and all of the children need to develop a positive attitude toward fitness.

Physical education is not about developing athletes but rather, developing healthy lifestyles. (Smoking, drugs, alcohol, diet, physical fitness)

If you need any additional advice or assistance, feel free to contact me. My email is egibbons@patmedia.net
