Joanie, Sam and myself (Kathryn,) have been mommy friends for 15 years. We have seen our kids go through various school functions together, from fundraisers, to art class to soccer practice. We each have kids above 15, above 10 and above 5 and we noticed a disturbing trend in the public school system, the demise of Physical Education. While we don’t believe competitive sports is the route every child should take we are advocates of positive physical activity for children.
If no one says anything the day will soon come that you are paying the same amount in property taxes and your children will be without PE, Music, Art and basic Math, English, History and Writing are done on the “as long as you feel good” standard.
We are 3 moms for Physical Education in Schools.
