Hi just like to get others opinion on the following please - DS is in year 2, he has been at his school since Nursery. After returning in September I discovered from him that he and some of his class mates are no longer taught PE by the boys sport teacher with experience in teaching rugby, cricket and football but by the girls PE teacher - who I should say has no experience in teaching rugby,football and cricket, this is so the other half of the class who are considered more talented can be taught by said boys PE teacher - with a view to representing the school in these sports. On taking this up with the school I was told that yes my DS is probably at a disadvantage as he is one of the youngest in his year but that essentially, too bad. They are very ambitious for the teams to do well and as such they will not change this policy. My argument is that ALL the boys should be taught by the boys PE teacher as he is the person with experience in the traditional boys sports. If they want to get a dream team together, good for them, but they should offer extra training for those boys and not disadvantage the boys less able. My DS is 6 years old and I feel that his sporting education has already been written off by his school. I should say DS is at an independent school that is - or so they say - non selective... Any words of wisdom or views would be welcome . Thanks
