Sports in School
註釋This lively collection of essays challenges the widely accepted notion that school sports necessarily promote character development, physical fitness, and positive educational and social values. The contributing authors are leading authorities, coaches, athletic directors, and varsity and professional players. They lend special insights and experience to the examination of the true relationship of sports and schooling and tackle such issues as: What sports represent today in the age of television and corporate skyboxes; Whether sports promote positive educational ideals; Whether sports as an educational vehicle are on the edge of losing their relevance. By exploring what have long been unchallenged notions about sports and education, this volume provides an important new look at old "truths."
