Can we just discuss how unimportant this class is? Instead of actually learning something relative, we're forced to fake through years and years of gym classes, cause let's be honest, who the hell actually puts effort in gym (!)

I'm just staring at my gym theory books right now and wondering why they're teaching me to replace my meats with lentils, like mdsjsdfasf ok sure, Cheryl


And wtf is a gym teacher as a profession, like omg you're teaching gym get out!!!!\\

I used to DREAD gym. But then I discovered the locker room after 8th grade.

you sound overweight

Gym was absolutely useless in grade school (1st-8th grade)...we'd just play kickball or soccer.

Gym in high school (9th-12th grade but you only had to take 2 years) was a bit better because yeah we played sports but there was also sex-ed and some human anatomy stuff.

Unless your teacher was a hot closet-case daddy who you hooked up with, it's completely pointless.

I'm underweight

actually, quite featherly

I applaud them for trying to make fatties less fat

It's pointless but i did like it (most of the time)

Wow you pretty much summed my thoughts on the whole thing

I was that kid who didn't mind doing theory tho and would pick theory over practical any day

the only thing gym has taught me is that a lot of people have horrible hygiene sry lmao

It ain't useless. It's always consistently my highest grade in all my subjects.

I think it's useless if you went to a poor school where there's no money for sporting equipment.

Gym was so fun for me because I played tennis all the time

As it currently stands, I think it's pointless and it can turn people away from playing sports (like me).

But I think a more general health class should be taught in schools so kids and teens know how to take care of their bodies. Teach them what they need to eat to build muscle/lose weight/feel healthier and more alert. Give kids a variety of choices of sports that they can partake in instead of forcing them to play sports that they hate.

I only really became interested in taking care of my own health AFTER leaving school and I had to research into it a lot. Schools should educate kids this information.

I liked it Junior and Senior year because instead of the dumbass basketball/soccer/baseball cycles I was given more options to take Ballroom, Rollerblading, and Step Aerobics which were actually fun. Still such an annoying requirement though

Up to elementary school or perhaps middle school it's not a bad idea to encourage kids to be more active but having a PE requirement in 12th grade is so annoying. If you're not active by then nothing is going to change. PE has always been the class everyone doesn't give a damn about

And how many of you guys had to take that fitness gram every year? That pacer test

PE during 9th and 10th were so pointless We never did anything but play basketball/football and since I sucked at both of them I always ended up sitting out
