I don't think that we can blame teachers for the drop in sport participation.
Mrs Choirboy and I are both retired teachers. I taught in a secondary school and did extra curricular football, athletics and cross country on wet cold winter lunchtimes! Mrs choirboy and I both worked very hard in fulfilling jobs. Now our two daughters are both teachers and I have to say that they work even harder than we did in our day! The 'Squeeze' on teachers time is just too much these days and the pressures to jump through performance hoops is simply excessive! Mrs Choirboy came up with a comment more than ten years ago that...."Children these days are doing too many screen based activities".
Sounds a bit like us 'owd codger's here on Accy Web too!
