Have N/C as outing and don't want my other posts linked. Fully prepared to be flamed.
One of dcs teacher teaches three subjects. Two are academic, one Is PE.
A new topic started after October half term and they are now doing boxing using the normal PE teacher.
I have no issues with martial arts and think it is a great idea but they don't seem to be using any protective equipment bar pads and from what dc has said there is a lot of silliness and being too rough which imo a good coach should be able to control. Each week has resulted in a child being hurt/hit in the face or head etc.
All I can gain is that the PE teacher used to do a martial art in the past. My friend is a martial arts teacher and has to have all kinds of coach training/safety training and special insurance to teach given the nature.
Would you be happy? Would you check? Can PE teachers just teach anything?
Admittedly I'm guessing PE teachers teach a variety of subjects like rugby or football which they might not hold specific coaching qualifications in but they don't involve punching to the head which feels a bit different.
I'm fully open to being told I am being precious and unreasonable by the way.
