I would have liked PE a lot more if it concentrated on exercising rather than sports. I was never one who could hit the ball when we played softball and many others weren't either. I think participating in sports is particularly difficult for some and as a result may even lower their self esteem. I think some plain old exercise or aerobics would have been more beneficial for me at least.

I completely agree. Although I still wish I could have gotten out of it! I was in marching band for all 4 years and trust me, that's enough exercise in itself!!!

We had to take gym every year of high school. I hated it. Gym class was the only class that made me feel like a nothing and a loser.
