My 9yo DS last year report from school had great scores for all subjects for achievement and effort except a single fail for PE.
As we get the reports on the last day of the year before summer, I didn't have chance to talk to the teacher and tbh I assumed it must of been an error. After all how can you fail at PE ?
However caught up with the teacher today, who said it wasn't an error. Despite good effect he failed.
I asked for more specific and I was told that he found catching and throwing a ball hard. Didn't concentrate or do teams properly. Specifically said he wasn't cut out for competitive sports and he should try archery !
Also cautioned against joining football teams at school, as the other boys are so much better than him.
I am torn between saying sod it, it is only PE, worrying or signing him up for loads of sporting things.
