I hated P.E. as well. I think the majority of kids did.
We had NO choices. Everyone did the same thing, at the same time, in the same gym. Period. So it was NO fun.
But, I survived. We all did.
I think it's important, not only to teach kids about getting and staying in shape (because some kids have NO clue), but also because simply having to do it builds some self-confidence sometimes. I think having to do things that make us uncomfortable sometimes forces us to broaden our horizons and become a little stronger. And everyone needs that.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
