As a current pe student, I was wondering when and if you ever learn about some of the non day to day issues a pe teacher may deal with such as breaking up a fight, dealing with parents etc. I am excited to learn everything I need to learn about how to run a class, but what about the real life situations that may come up? |

This is a very good question. As one would expect there might be some kind of animosity between teammates or other teams while engaging in a competitive physical eduaction activity. I do not have an exact answer for this, but there should always be control in the physical education class, although, not everything such as an unexpected fight will be controlled. The fight can be ended, but does the physical educator handle it, the principal, counselor, or parents? |

As a pe teacher for 6 years now in two districts with poverty, gang issues, and many kids for dysfunctional families, these childres have issues in dealing with conflict. My first responsibility to my students is safety. I emphasize safety rules which include equipment is not a weapon. Sometimes fights occur over an activity, but sometimes it's girls in the locker room or a child looking or saying something to another. Safety should include that the students keep their hands to themselves, but I make sure that I am available and that they are to bring conflict/problems to me so we can resolve them before it leads to physical contact. |
