I don't understand, why the low grade? I find it hard to believe an honor student excelling in track would make a low grade. Sounds to me the teacher did use her authority to put a bad grade on her record.

I think so too.

Personally, I think P.E. (and health) classes are a waste of student time and taxpayer money.

My daughter's peers (9th grade) have been taught to brush their teeth, wash their hands and how to put a condom on a banana. The culmination of their class was caring for electronic babies for 3 days and nights.

My daughter (homeschooled) instead has a Red Cross Baby Sitting certificate, Food Handler's Card, State Certification as a Lifeguard which includes her EMT certifications in CPR, etc.

And yes, she is already employed for the summer.
