That was my experience of PE teachers at school and in the school I worked in in Germany, plus all the schools I've ever visited... they just don't come across as people who are passionate about teaching; they just want to play sports and play them with people who are as good at them as they are...

..hmmm, I'm not sure really, I know a few PE teachers and they all set out to teach PE from the beginning...it's a strange one really Zee..I think that using your comparison to a geography teacher..or say a history teacher..?...obviously there's good and bad there as well as in everything but of the ones that I know, there is a passion for their subject and if they're good at communicating and conveying that passion, then the children will feel it as well...and sport in general is something that people often are passionate about (some sports..) so it should work the same there as well but in my experience it somehow just doesn't...there just isn't the same enthusiasm conveyed...

I think because there's an intolerance inherent in PE teachers for kids who aren't good at sports... whereas the same doesn't tend to exist in other subjects; history teachers want to inspire kids (again speaking in generalities here) to be passionate about history; PE teachers want kids to be good at sports and if they're not then they either don't care or they verge on bullying those kids for not being athletic... and often I think the saddest part is that with just a little bit of encouragement, so many kids who hated PE at school could have really enjoyed it if their teachers were more like the ones that the likes of Kyle mentioned up above...

A PE teacher at my school was so anti-male that you had no chance with her if you was a boy, awful human being...

Generally though (in my younger years anyway) I was a bit of a book worm, always did as I was told, never had complaints and my reports came back positive. I think because I was sometimes bullied quite a bit, I became a bit of a teachers favourite. Then Secondary school came and as the years went by, I relaxed a bit more and didn't do as great as when I was younger... was still given great reports mind.

I was practically a swot and got teased by people at School because I actually wanted to do well for myself , so got good comments from Teachers like ''he's a pleasure to teach or bright pupil who works hard etc''.

One thing I was guilty of was chatting too much and I did struggle in Maths and PE. Those two subjects were the ones I just didn't click with.

I liked all of my male PE teachers and hated all of my female PE teachers, not sure why it worked out that way, but it did. I think all of them were lesbians, and just liked picking on the boys, even the gay boys.
