Physical Education in Public Schools

[gorillahung]

With the number of obese kids on the rise I think schools should put more emphasis on physical education. When I was in school 18 years ago, physical education was a joke. Nobody actually got a good workout. By the time the teacher took role the class was half way over. I also think that sports should be expanded to add more junior varsity teams. There are many kids who would like to participate in a sport but lack the talent to play on the varsity squad.

Thoughts?

We don't do government very well. Considering how badly our physical education programs have failed, how do you think our classroom-style education has done?

You can see the result of one, but the other result is largely hidden.

I enjoyed the break P.E. provided from the daily academic rigors conducted in the classrooms.

It's the communal same gendered showers after P.E. I never fully adjusted to.

just sayin'

If by "P.E." you mean your male gym teacher making you tuck your genetalia between your legs and sing "I am woman, hear me roar", then yes, I believe you.

They could put stalls in the showers with curtains.

The "communal" arrangement in boot camp that included pinching off one without the privacy of a stall was pretty unsettling too.

It's a good thing you weren't born in Sparta circa 400 BCE.

Pinching a loaf without a stall is very different than being brutalized as a training principle.
