Hood of recalled the days when he was a member of the little league baseball executive Milton It made me apprecnle the amount of work that gees on behind the scenes he said owe these people a Hood told the dinner of the fun he had playing amateur sports with his high school learn in Milton One of the things about minor sports is that you very seldom sec any kids gel into trouble when re involved in sports he said Acting Mayor Russell Miller brought greetings from the own of Hills The Catholic Women League entered for the din guise by Eric Ontario education minister Thomas Wells stuck to Ihe centre of the curriculum highway in his revised education policy for secondary schools That too bad for Ihe kids The pendulum of change In education the ministers symbolism t In my opinion swung quite far enough the other way Physical Education ought to be reIntroduced Into the core curriculum along with English mathematics Canadian history or geography and science SomebriefbockgroundfirsLAcoupIeof weeks ago Mr Wells announced thai grades and 10 students must take credit courses in the above mentioned subjects creation of a core of subjects was as he put It The first and Improve tht quality of education in Ontario secondary system Subjects such as French Health and Physical are to be urged on students by school principals Mr Wells says The school heads would ensure that the student was given all possible encouragement and guidance in making them an integral part of the curriculum the ultima to decision In choosing these subjects however would rest with the student in consultation with parents The choice of dodging Phys Ed should be denied until kids have left school In high school where we do a good bit of our physical growth kids can learn skills and lessons which will last them a lifetime Physical Education is so different from Academic Education because it combines both thinking and doing that it d be a shame lo have kids miss it Some of the values that are taught In Physical Education unique to that subject however in the rough and tumble few hours kids would get of it some of those values may become clearer more secure and meaningful to the youngsters The team work that goes into a large science experiment be reinforced through Physical Education Kids realize that other people are relying on thorn todoan activity that afreets those people Team sports also force kids to get along with one another that is to learn tolerance Distance running Push drive or endurance is one valuable quality which I think comes very much from physical activity How far can I push myself For how long A kid gets to know himself and his limits In such activities as say long distance running I m not overlooking the private and town sponsored activities like lacrosse hockey soccer and baseball that are open to adults and the kids after school or during the summer But some sports like archery tennis volleyball curling basketball and bowling would be missed In later life by post secondary school people if the schools don t offer them to everyone All students though should be exposed to these team and recreational sports so that they have an opportunity to select better some activity that going to suit them once they start working I think high school kids should have to take Education and then if after they leave school they don t like what they ve learned or the people they ve met they don have to continue The choice ought to come once kids have left school not when they re still there Mr Wells the education minister opened his remarks to the House by saying that the Introduction of a core curriculum is the first step In improving the quality of education in the province The next step Mr Minister is to Include Physical Education in the core Take It Mr Wells re to do so AHS VARSITY MEMBER Wendy Brown prepares to toss the ball into White Oaks end before an opposition player can give her the chop AHS took the visiting
