Fact that generated fidgets, considering the exit of this teacher, in 1995, was supported by the justification that the read and write teacher received knowledge necessary for the teaching physical education classes in your professional formation. Then, we ask will be that the professional formation of the read and write teachers was the main reason that cause the exit and the return of the physical education teacher? Or will be that the department of Education had other reasons as economics or politician for such changes?
