In the Forum, Lescrim writes: I just received my Family Fun issue with article on you. The article was a Godsend. ohmy: Yesterday I spent an hour and half trying to persuade the principal of my son's middle school that the PE program was failing him and he needed help. I guess they are doing a perfect job and Joe's breathing problem - one third lung capacity and neuromuscular problems making running a disaster - were simply things he needed to negotiate with his instructor and he just had to go out on that soccer field and suffer.
Oddly enough when I said that the real problem was he went out on the soccer and no one passed to him ever - was a thing two out of three of the other adults present had experienced. Their faces shifted - "I know what that's like", their faces shouted. But they seemed to view it as a right of passage or something - and the only suggestion was that maybe he could ref.
Your view would be to make up new rules that let everyone play. And I thank you. I'll soon I hope be reading your book but wow - yes - it makes total sense. |
