Greetings, bloglings. This week's blog prompt is the London Mayor, Boris Johnson, who's fighting for sport to stay on the school curriculum. When David Cameron and Michael Gove decided to scrap the two hours' of compulsory sports lessons that pupils do each week, because the PM said it was being filled with 'Indian dancing lessons' (no, really), BoJo publicly disagreed. In fact, said Boris, state school kids should do two hours of sports lessons every day - like they do at Eton.
Does this smell like political posturing to you, or does Boris Johnson have a point? Do you have fond memories of school sport? Did P.E. make you who you are today, as BoJo claims? Or did you hate sport at school and think it should be optional?
Cue some Olympic-medal-winning posts please. On your marks...
