    Why isn't there a section for Physical Education?
    I've been looking all over for a discussion just for PE and I can't find one anywhere?! Why isn't PE featured?

    PE is not a qualification (I know it is but not a real one, not in my book)

    Because very few TSRians study P.E. Feel free to go make a thread about the subject if you wish.

    TSR has a large population of bigoted students, bent on spreading the word of how good they are at more academic subjects.

    And as business rules state; no demand; no supply.

    I beg to differ.

    But there isn't actually a section for P.E, you can make threads but all other subjects have their own section!

    Most of the A level PE students discuss their work under the "Special Needs" subforum.

    That means you can use any forum - from Maths to Religious Studies!

    This is a privilege.

    ...without PE the large majority of people would probably be over weight, if not obese. PE reduces the strain on the NHS and improves health. It is an academic subject. The physiology side includes things that are on the biology syllabus such as the sliding filament theory etc and the psychology side involves theories and parts of the syllabus in psychology. The contemporary section looks at the history of sport and it's development through the industrial revaluation, urbanisation (something I've covered on my history course) as well as the Olympics ...I could go on.

    A level PE is as hard, and is like, GCSE Science.

    Cambridge doesn't acknowledge that Geology is an A Level.

    Who cares what Cambridge think? :mad:

    Very true. I hate Oxbridge too but that is probably every Russell Group University's opinion.

    Because there's no demand for one. The small few don't need their own section. Like I said, a thread'll do.

    It's harder than GCSE science, I did no revision and got an A in Physics at GCSE...

    Cool story bro needs more :turban:, a cliffhanger, an element of rape, a main character who gets aroused by roadkill, a paedophile who isn't really a paedophile but everyone thinks he is up until it is discovered his neighbour (a violin teacher) is and they dig up his garden and find thousands of skeletons belonging to penguins and also it should be set in continental Europe.

    It's not. See AQA Q1 January 2011 A level PE.

    There isn't a PE section because most of us would forget our kits and be unable to participate

    PE is not a qualification (I know it is but not a real one, not in my book)
    I'm currently in my A2 year and about to go to medical school and I have to say last years P.E was my hardest subject, despite doing well in it I found it more difficult than A2 Chemistry! It requires a broad range of understanding from the science of Anatomy and Physiology, the ability to study theories and case studies related to psychology and a good understanding of the world and cultures when studying sport in Australia and America. Also you have to be physically active to do well in the practical section of the course therefore it encourages good health.
    Therefore anybody who thinks that P.E isn't a real qualification think again!

    I think it's best to post in the Maths, Science and Technology forum as it includes discussion about Sports Science, which is the cloest you're going to get to PE.
