If you suck at a certain sport, you play with the other kids who suck. That's what I did for basketball in the winter. But hey, when spring came and they did soccer, ultimate frisbee, etc I'd just go join the elite games. That's what you gotta do man. It doesn't take a braniac to figure that one out.
For a pimple-riddled kid who has no friends and can't play any sports, it doesn't resonate.
I don't know what to say about this. Should we accommodate them and make life all fluffy so that their feelings are cared for or show it to them like it is...life is a bitch and then you die.
And then they shoot up the school...
Then again, didn't the boomer's go through the non-PC gym class, in which dodge ball was the game of social separation and identity? Last time I heard they didn't go shooting up schools.
No but at the same time you should not possibly impair thier future becuase YOU think fitness of the body is as important as fitness of the mind. At the end of the day a smart man with the right degree can make a good living and be woefully out of shape.
You would not force a straight a student to take a acedemic class they know they will get a bad grade, like say a math wiz forced to take AP English, would you? Then why is it different for PE?
