@drseanmullen I never โ€˜trust the scienceโ€™ - just look at the historical disasters we have had across the world (particularly with unethical medical practices). Science is supposed to be questioned. And as a MD perhaps you might quantify what you mean by โ€˜masksโ€™? N95 and changed how often?

The UK NC in PE really does need a re-think: "A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities". Why does it have to have "competitive sport" placed first? And "succeed"/"excel"?

Here's a new Irish PE case study that might interest some of you. In Ireland, the first 3 years of secondary PE is taught within the broader programme area of #wellbeing , which influences the aims and objectives that need to be achieved. #physed #pedagogy

@3dancingfeet @5Naureen It's fine to be proud of getting your PhD through hard work at the academic chalkface, but appointing yourself the arbiter of what is and isn't a '*real* research conference' makes you seem a bit weird and controlling.

Genuine question here. How are movement competence & confidence spoken about here & holistic learning different from quality PE? Try as I might, I donโ€™t understand PL & think it distracts us from our core purpose in PE. We canโ€™t measure PL, we *can* teach & measure quality PE.

@GillianKeegan Hey Gillian. Where is your research coming from? Happy to have a chat about this misguided perception you have of PE. Back in the 1980s Talbot and others were talking about this gender issue. An activity-led or sport-led approach in PE is not best practice.

@aquaholic_bee Yes I'd keep them. They have other skills that are valuable. We need to broaden PE to include generalists and not just team sport specialists. The pipeline from PE training to teaching is often dominated by sports bods. This is why we have the problems that we do in PE pedagogy.

@melissacreate15 @MissStanleyYr6 @OGTeaches The purpose of PE is not keeping fit. And I would argue that โ€˜teamworkโ€™ is actually about learning how to collaborate (social skills) through a range of physical activities, in groups and teams. The language of PE is very, very important. Too much emphasis on fitness/sport ๐Ÿ˜ณ
