Found out she hadn't turned up to PE for the last 4 lessons when she had always loved pe and sports. She told me now it's because she hates her legs and showing them with the short PE skorts,she's a size 8 to 10 and all muscle.
I took a soft approach as I'm worried about her self esteem issues but told her not to skive it anymore. Should I have taken a harder line with this?

She's got 62, bet she could do it ad a paying job and still never get bored of it

Wow, 62?

She was playing on it when she was skiving wasn't she.

Tetris was more my thing.

Hmm precisely, so I suppose she has had an unfair advantage, no doubt she's also been practicing at the back of her maths lessons

I must've been a real freak in school then (well, I was anyway but regardless) - I had four weeks off PE after tearing my thigh muscle and I really did spend those lesson times doing homework Grin

YWNBU to take a soft approach; PE when you're self-conscious is horrendous.
