only 2 down, now 2 more to go for mike koh's ipe, haven touch values yet...
I have nothing but RESPECT for mike koh, never seen any one who is so passionate abt his profession.
U could practically see the fire burning in his eyes when he talk about PE and the drive in him to raise the standards of the profession.
I can understand his frustrations when he see PE teachers in schools conforming to the academic demands and not guarding their lessons zealously, who failed to remember the values taught to them, who forgot their dreams of wanting to be a PE teacher who'll engage children in Physical activities and instill in them the love for sports, who gave up their philosophy in PE instead of aligning them to MOE's desired outcomes and fight for their beliefs.
It is a really sad situation out there, its a losing battle not becoz PE is not valued by schools rather it is caused by Deserters of the PE Philosophy.
i would say he is one of the rare lecturer who inspires me. i could feel that his passion for PE to be just like how i feel for Atheletics. He inspires me to be a PE teacher who'll want to inculcate values in children and develop them physically , cognitively and affectively, last but not least nuture their enthusiasm for sports.
Because i believe that it will help to build a strong foundation for children to continue enjoying sports or take part in it competitively to become elite athletes.
He helped me changed my perspective in coming into teaching as a career. At first i came in so i could train for my 400m everything else is secondary.
Now Running is still as important but so is being a PE teacher.
