Why do some kids hate PE?

[Enid]

and shouldn't we be encouraging them to enjoy it rather than helping them bunk off?

enid's thought for the day.

and vicky steer broke her leg

LOL. Thank you ladymoof, that's made me laugh

Roberta Hornibrook fell off the stage during modern dance and had to go off in an ambulance

at least you werent dicovered climgin over ht ehuge school gate to o to watch quadropehnia att he local cinmea.
not me but a contemporary

the worst thing about vicky steer was the teaher sayiong" go on stand on it" and hten hearing the crack

lol at the County cinema?

I went though

and to Breaking Glass

oh yes
she was expelled.

harsh

because in our school you had outside hockey when you wearing small shorts suitable only for a tahitian beach holiday when in fact it was november and about 3 degrees if you were lucky
because the people who excelled in sport at our school were usually the less academically successful bullies who would gang up on you and try and smash your face in if you got on the netball team
because the showers were very cold and communal and for a teenage girl, that pretty much sucks

tons of reasons to hate it.

lol dd

Do they still have communal showers?

My old school does not have communal showers any more, but that is mainly because an irate ex student burnt down the sports block.

dilly put the matches away

but the light flickers so prettily

Has anyone ever done a survey to find out if there are a disproportiate number of loonies who teach PE? We had fairly benign ones (although she did once try to tell us that wearing tights while playing hockey would make us sterile, thus undermining all our biology teacher's efforts to take a rational approach to sex education), but at a time when flares were simply not available in shops, they managed to have flared track suit bottoms. We used to wonder where the hell they got them from.

Lol at mad DD!

In our school, teachers always had to teach two subjects so all the PE teachers taught geography on the side (very poorly too I must say)

because PE teachers are sadistic. they mke you do cross country in shorts...in the winter with a biting wind and driving rain.

they also make you play netball when its freezing so if you catch the ball with the tip of your fingers if fkings murders.

sadists sadists the lot of them

Yes I will never forget Bitch Renshaw. She left a legacy of shame with me. The worrying thing is, this was only 10 years ago, she wasn't very old, she could still be 'teaching'!

She tried to bully a friend of mine with a heart defect into doing cross country!

Why are they all so mad?

Wlil read the thread later. We were FORCED into hockey 3 times a week even at 6th form, and I LOATHED it. Couldn't get the ball to go anywhere, froze to death in the north of england with stupid gym skirt and hideous gym knickers. So always skulked at back with friends, talking, getting no benefit out of lesson. BUT loved swimming, tennis, rowing, netball, ski-ing, badminton - having a range of options would be SO much more beneficial than giving everyone a stupid stick and ridiculous boots that bring home half the hockey pitch.

this thread is making me lolol

cod - you should have mastered the rope climbing - you don't know what you missed

oh yes - JoolsToo had 3 stitches in her head cos Carol Tierney couldn't bear the thought that I was going to score a goal in lacrosse so she floored me.
