Optional PE
« on: February 10, 2011, 08:23:58 PM »
ok No, this isn't another islamotroll thread, this is a serious one  :autism:

I just saw a thread about this on wp. About muslims not wanting their kids to do PE. What do you think? Me personally, I have no problem with it as long as it applies to everyone - ie a non-muslim kid could opt out of it too.

In secondary school anyway. In primary school I don't think they should do

When I was in grade school in Nebraska, I tried to opt out of Square Dancing that we did for PE, I felt it was degrading. That didn't get too far.  :-\

I think it's because of doing it with boys as well as girls. Which isn't a very good reason imo though. Also getting changed in front of people maybe. I understand that, seems fair

I believe that PE should be mandatory for all Brits. How else are they going to lose all of that excess weight?  :autism:

There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.

I'm probably going to be unpopular by saying this - but I think kids under 15 or so should have PE in school.

I do not thinking they should have to shower together, and there should be "options". Like a a person can pick a sport or maybe just advanced walking lol. I think that kids need to be taught excercise is important.

I had to have PE for my Freshmen and Sophmore years in high school. We were always looking for ways to hide behind the bleachers to blaze joints.

eris - That sounds faair to me, although I'd maybe lower the cut-off point a bit - perhaps 13

Together with encouraging kids to be more active and making CHOOSING sport more attractive to them

When I was in school (up till 16) we were forced to do it twice a week. The second one was totally pointless as it was only 35 minute lesson, and when you take into account the time to get changed before and after, what is the point? Pretty stupid

Also we were segregated by sex for all PE aged 11-14 and for most of it aged 15-16.

Not to mention we had to do alsorts of complete shite, which I really didn't want to do.

We also had to get a shower after the bigger lesson, even when we were 16 and that lesson was the last class of the day so I'd be home in five minutes and could shower there if I'd wanted to

Thankfully we didn't have to shower together though lol, doubt I would have survived high school if that had been the case :laugh:

Getting changed was pretty bad though. So glad I no longer have to do that

I had pe every year of HS  :laugh:

and when I was a senior, there even was a "final", it was like an obstacle course  around the whole school. and you had to run a mile too. No time limit or anything but you had to complete everything. And if you didnt do it - you didnt pass.
