Students Can Now Take Gym Classes Online

:wtf:

MINNEAPOLIS -- Some public school students in Minnesota are taking their physical education courses online.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune said the courses offer a way for busy students to work in both their state-required academic courses and the electives they want to take.

Historically, Minneapolis school district students who take part in two varsity sports could waive PE. But that policy ended this spring, just as the district's online physical education classes started up.

One PE teacher said the point is to start at whatever fitness level the student has and try to improve that. The course begins and ends with face-to-face meetings between student and teacher.

Oh yeah-I was pretty good at PE so I can't complain. It kept up my GPA.

Would have been nice to take it on line.

either. So it would have done me no good.

:loveya:

aren't you carrying his child?

Go figure.

It was in gym class that she got to really check out all the hot chicks (including the 8th grade babes who were dating the HS sophomores with the hot rod cars), had to get butt naked in front of everyone (who here doesn't remember that first shower), and learned-directly- your strengths weaknesses and what role you played in the social hierarchy.

Those kids are missing out on one of the keys to a well rounded education.

They're taking all the emotional abuse out of highschool.

Too late for me.
