Also Physical Education class has come along way from how it was just ten years ago. Today physical educators are trained to teach many more things then sports alone. We teach all sorts of skills needed to provide our students with the tools to be healthy. We try and give them a little of everything so when they get to HS they can choose what kind od physical activities they would like to pursue. Its no longer just rolling out the balls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198390912401056862.post-63793944397965680072009-09-12T14:22:21.751-05:002009-09-12T14:22:21.751-05:00Agreed.

Can't get the lazy snots off their computers long enough.<br /><br />I keep hoping that the fact that their nearly 50 yo MOTHER can outlift them will send my teenage, testosterone laden boys into the gym. I would think they'd be embarrassed down to their socks.<br /><br />So far, no luck.The Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157821003454766570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198390912401056862.post-60464176703622554532009-09-11T22:49:40.419-05:002009-09-11T22:49:40.419-05:00Amen!!!Amen!!!Jeff Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667419764890599092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198390912401056862.post-28798888370743010192009-09-11T22:38:56.355-05:002009-09-11T22:38:56.355-05:00That's a good point and I meant to touch on th...That's a good point and I meant to touch on that. My gym classes in high school stunk, were dull and taught me nothing. I did enjoy Judo in college and intramural volleyball. The only thing I remember from high school was a lot of running (which, with the volleyball) did a number on my knees. <br /><br />It's odd that the martial arts never gave my knees fits. Must have been the stretching.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198390912401056862.post-60359966335325867692009-09-11T22:25:08.866-05:002009-09-11T22:25:08.866-05:00But, the gym classes we have now are... lack luste...But, the gym classes we have now are... lack luster. Each period had about 45 minuets. We had 5 minuets before and after activities, but during the class time, to change. Then, about 7 minuets taking attendance. Then, we waited as the gym teacher from the 5 classes that meet in the same place discuss what they doing. If we where on the field, we had to walk down there and get equipment. <br /><br />I loved gym class in high school, but most of my time was spend talking or studying because of poor planning on the school's part. I wish gym could be a double period like science class.<br /><br />Or block schedules, those are epic.Aron Sorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09327072976517417107noreply@blogger.com
