Dodging and Evading Objects

If you'd like to know how the kids are, here are excerpts from the PE sections on Brady and Liam's report cards, issued by the Australian International School. Funny what skills are measured nowadays.

'This term Liam has exhibited an acceptable understanding and practice of running in a variety of directions, while changing pace and speed. Liam is continuing to develop the ability to dodge and evade objects while moving and whilst stationary. Liam has shown an appropriate performance when leaping, skipping and jumping in both vertical and horizontal directions, as well as landing with a variety of feet patterns.'

'This term Brady continues to work on the ability to dodge and evade objects while moving, and whilst stationary. Brady has started to show some success when leaping, galloping and jumping in both vertical and horizontal directions, as well as landing with a variety of feet patterns.'

Does evading objects whilst stationary strike any of you as a cruel sort of assessment?
