Parkour
June 28, 2008I find it odd how so many students are reluctant to integrate their hobbies and interests into their studies – particularly the arts. One of my AS Photography students recently showed me this show reel he edited of himself free style running (aka Parkour):
Perhaps it is the fact that so many of our students view school as a training ground for exams and such out-of-school activities, which they consider to be “fun” should not become confused with school work which is an “obligation”. However, there must be a better way that schools can draw on these non-academic skills and interests, providing a platform for sharing.
