Do our expectations of sport in schools reflect "folk wisdom" where we think "students will eventually engage with something they like, hopefully sufficiently to pursue it now or in their future"?
If so, shouldn't we working to get sport OUT of schools?

Backing up: some on the outside of schools & education might still anticipate finding engagement with a "Multi Activity Curriculum" that gives pupils a "bit-of-this" & a "bit-of-that"... perhaps because that's what so many of us genuinely experienced ourselves so very long ago!
Of course, if that had worked well back-in-the-day... we'd be a nation of sporting nuts, having each found our own way of making some sporting-pastime or another a major stabilising influence on our life - & the world would never have needed "Towards An Active Nation" & the rest.

Count the number of women standing as candidates or elected to office, speaking at events & writing articles.
Challenge parties, organisers and media outlets when they are not representative.

No one should miss out on education because they can’t afford sanitary products.
So buy extra when shopping & donate to a foodbank.
And write to your MP to ask them to support girls all across the UK getting free sanitary products in schools, colleges & unis.

Why do I care so much about getting a copy of #Inferior into all schools? Because I don’t want to just tell girls they can do anything. I want them to read it, be empowered, and join our fight for equality. #thisgirlcan justgiving.com/crowdfunding/i…
The @PhysicsNews Improving Gender Balance Report includes recommendations to challenge gender stereotypes. #Inferior provides evidence, engages readers with the issues and educates students and teachers in their own unconscious bias. Read it: iop.org/education/teac…
Why do I care so much about evidence? In 2016 @RAEng revealed that UK STEM Education landscape is chaotic, confusing + expensive. Instead of spending heaps on evidence-free 'STEM' outreach, we should be working to challenge school culture. Read the report: raeng.org.uk/publications/r…
