We must work in the same place. I wrote something about the same thing a few weeks ago.
The way I see it, I think gym is great for many of our youth, where more and more of them are just going home, getting on myspace and their ps3s. It's not the alpha and omega, but it's a nice blip to a healthier lifestyle. Wish I worked harder in gym, that's for sure.
I hated gym when they made me take it. In retrospect, I wish I'd taken it more seriously. Maybe then exercise wouldn't seem like such an awful chore.
I spent two years in junior high doing nothing in gym class. Well, except for watching the gym teachers wait until the hoodlums stopped carrying on like lunatics. Eventually the hoodlums would realize that we were about to have no gym class yet again and they, the cause of the trouble, would roam around intimidating everyone else into shutting up. It was grand.
I vaguely remember a revelation about gym--In high school there was a rumor that if you never showed up, the teacher could never identify you. Therefore, several proponents of this theory maintained, they'd managed to pass gym for several years without a single lap or give me 20.
Unfortunately, I'd already started attending and therefore never got to test it out. I hated gym too, but started exercising anyway when my belt holes began to become uncooperative.
Our gym teacher is morbidly obese. What kind of example does that set?
I just had to take a "P.E. for teachers class". After much complaining on why we had to take this class because we were not going to be p.e. teachers our teacher explained that we would not be able to teach kids who were having heart attacks in five grade.....
