Shouting at the class has never been OK | Brief letters

I think this idea about teaching sports in schools is kinda cool . Like, think about it - kids are already playing sports with their mates on the weekends, so why not get them involved in school too? It's all about teamwork and discipline, which can actually help 'em focus better in class . And let's be real, who doesn't love a good game of cricket or footy? Plus, it could be a great way to encourage kids to get active and healthy, especially if we're always talking about how important that is for their future health and wellbeing . It might not be the most conventional teaching method, but I think it's definitely worth considering .

I'm all about balance, you know? I mean, we're talking about teaching methods here, not just relying on shouting instructions all day. But at the same time, can't we acknowledge that some activities, like sports, can actually be super beneficial for kids? Like, think about it, team sports require communication, strategy, and teamwork – skills that can definitely translate to academics. And let's not forget about mental health benefits from physical activity... I'm not saying we should ditch the lecturers who stand at the front, but maybe give some room for creative teaching methods too?

I totally get why people are saying it's never okay to just stand in front of the class like that ... I mean, think about it - kids need to feel heard, understood, and respected, right? But at the same time, I'm all for exploring unconventional ideas... have you seen those vids of elite sports teams? They're all about teamwork, strategy, and discipline! It's not just about winning, but also about developing skills that can be applied to other areas of life... like, did you know some people find that playing sports actually improves their focus & concentration? So yeah, I'm down for giving physical education a try in schools maybe it'll help kids discover new passions or find their tribe

I totally get why some people would think standing in front of classes shouting instructions is never ok lol I mean who wants to feel like they're just being talked at all day? But for real though, as someone who's been out of school for a while now, I can see how those old methods might not be the most effective way to keep kids engaged. On the other hand, sports and physical education are totally underrated in schools imo If we're talking about teamwork and discipline, it seems pretty obvious that participating in sports could have some serious benefits for kids, both on and off the field. Plus, I think it's awesome that there are people out there who are pushing for more creative approaches to education. We should be exploring all sorts of ways to help our young people learn and grow

I gotta say , I'm all about that old-school teaching method . Like, let's be real, kids get restless easy and need some structure. Shouting instructions might not be the most conventional way, but it gets results . And hey, if a bit of discipline and authority can help 'em focus, who am I to argue?

And yeah, cricket in state schools could be a game-changer (pun intended) ️. I mean, think about it – teamwork, strategy, physical activity... it's like a one-stop shop for all-round benefits . And let's not forget the social aspect – it brings people together, fosters camaraderie and whatnot .

So, yeah, maybe we should give those old-school teachers a break and appreciate their unorthodox methods . Who knows, maybe we'll raise some world-class cricketers in the process ️!
