This week’s podcast explores the idea that we have “disavowed our tradition which focuses on and values the physical as experience” and suggests that, in doing this, we have focused on ology’s and not actions. It argues that we need to either put the physical back into university physical education or reconsider what we teach in schools. Maybe, given our degrees, we would be better off teaching our grade 2 and 3 students biomechanics rather than basketball – after all that is where our expertise really lies. Finally it argues that we are more similar than we know and, as such, as teachers, are eminently replaceable.
