The Familyman
Let’s just get right to the point. P.E. is “schoolified” playing. It is a break from sitting in a classroom and gives students an opportunity to play something and stretch their legs. Now I know some would say, “Au contraire … physical education is more than play,” to which I would counter, “Baloney.”
How is playing dodge ball, wiffle ball, or kickball more than playing? Homeschoolers should be really good at playing. After all, it should only take a homeschool family a fraction of the time that it takes the institutional school to do book work and there should be lots of playing and free time left over.
Please don’t call it P.E., though. Somehow that feels like we’re playing “their” game. BUT if by state law you have to have P.E., count it all. Every time your kids run, skip, or walk … count it!! This summer you should have gotten a whole year’s worth of P.E. and then some.
That said, I just answered a question on this week’s Familyman Show podcast about teaching our kids sports. So if you want more on this topic, check it out.
Be Real,
Todd

“I look forward to THM every Wednesday. I really enjoy Deborah’s articles. For some reason, it must be God, she always writes about what I am needing to hear. Her ability to put scripture and God in the middle of all her articles keeps me coming back. I recently have been enjoying the Youngs’ [articles] because I have a young man (10) in my house. The encouragement of the Youngs is fabulous. I thank God for parents like them that pave the way for parents like myself and my husband.”
