PE HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY

from The Long Road · host Ron Jones

I don't know how many decades I need to talk about things so important while being ignored, but here we go again...I also don't know how many hundreds of books I have in my personal library at this point with amazing introductions and chapter sections that basically highlight the way out of the darkness of total destruction looming ahead in our immediate future.Bluntly, I criticize how a "sport-based" PE program is complete crap. I also cover overuse injuries in single-sport youth athletes playing travel team sports. I also go over playground design and playground equipment and how under the cloak of safety--playgrounds have been largely ruined. The real problem is not that the masses are not listening--it's that the people in control want us to be stupified so we pay attention to shit that does NOT matter.Here's a brief book review on PE philosophy from 1969. Enjoy.Source: "The Curriculum in Physical Education" by Carl E. Willgoose, Ed.D., Boston University (1969)
