PHILOSOPHY OF MODERN EDUCATION

I’m a well-rounded child!

Teaching is no longer thought of as the teaching of subjects but the teaching of the “whole child”.

That the teacher’s main concern is the proper growth and development of the young individuals who are in schools full of hopes and desires.

Reasons Teachers does not as effectively and dexterously teach PE as they have taught academic subjects:

Root cause of all these malpractices: the utter of the much needed materials for a variety of activities!

A Quote to Remember“Physical fitness is not only one of the most

important keys to a healthybody, it is the basis of dynamic and creative

intellectual activity. Therelationship between the soundness of the

body and the activities of themind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet

understood. But we do know whatthe Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill

can only function at the peakof their capacity when the body is healthy

and strong."-President John Fitzgerald Kennedy
