Physical Education is Physically Incapable

Yes, yes, this isn't a normal topic for this blog, but everyone's entitled to their own rant once in a while, right?

High School Gym class.

I don't think there's another class in the entire school that I've taken that was filled with the amount of incapable "students" crammed into one space. Generally, gym class is filled with slacker students, probably because of the unwillingness to take a sport (guilty). Every new term of gym class starts off the same way: I hope there are actual willing people in my class, gym class starts, and the dissapointment settles in. Sometimes I get lucky and get SOME competent people in my class, but it doesn't happen too often.

Luckily for me, my class only has ~20 students in it, as opposed to the normal 40 or so crowded into the gymnasium. As another added bonus, I have it at the very start of the school day, when half the people are subdued from lack of sleep, and the other half skipped because they didn't care about their failure of every other class. Credit for gym class is given for dressing out and doing the set warm-up routine, of which requires nearly no effort to do; despite this, only 4 of the students dress out, and about 6 do the warm-up, while the other lazy (insert words here) walk on the sidelines. The "teacher" (or whatever gym supervisors are called) doesn't even care. Granted, he really shouldn't because it's their problems, but if I ever find out that they're still getting credit for being lazy....

There's other things I could rant about in gym, but I'm pretty sure that they'd break some sort of privacy rule about offending people. Then of course, I'd be pulled into a corner and be interrogated.

Things like that.
