Will it be considered bullying when fat kids are the majority and they make fun of skinny kids?
How many of them fail a comprehensive math test?
Well, look on the bright side. Maybe this means they’re also too lazy to have sex.
Idiocracy is now a documentary.
holy crap
when I was a 9th grader I thought that physical fitness test was so easy it was a joke
I see a ton-o-blubbers and lazy ‘goth’ types at my kids school though...
In my day they would have been in better shape just from running for their lives if they tried to walk around looking like idiots
That's what we do with academic tests, right?
Do we have figures on how many of these kids are black? Is this test racist?
The state has taken over both feeding (free lunch, breakfast, and dinner in some cases)and exercising kids. Why would you think the physical results would be any different than the educational results?
I suppose one positive from bringing back the draft, is it would force these kids to get into shape.
All by design, or is it by parental neglect? Where are the days where every neighborhood had a vacant lot in which to play kick the can, or softball? Where are the separate garages to play Annie, Annie Over with? Where are the parks with swing sets and swimming pools for kids to work off their energy? more states are bringing all day kindergarten into reality. Five year old babies for the government schools to mold into mediocrity! No recess to refresh the minds and bodies to do better work! While children are exposed to insidious lies about American History, replacing hygiene class with sex education and the advantages of homosexuality!
My heart breaks for the children, for the children are our future~ Morality and a healthy belief in the living God are mocked openly by Satan’s crew as the country is taken deeper and deeper into depravity. And it has been going on for several generations!
It is time to expect storms of discipline from on high, if
the Almighty Father can still love his errant children! Yes, America has it coming to her in spades. just hold on to your hats, and fall on your knees! Home-school those amazing gifts of God if you love them! Nothing is more important than a Judeo-Christian upbringing to preserve liberty and an abundant life.
Of all classes taught in pubskewl, gym or physical education is the only one I am aware of that only infrequently drilled to skills/capabilities and never gave even suggested homework assignments. Much of the time was occupied by sports for which any serious competing participant would train, but training wasn’t in the program. (Intramural sports were a different story.) Once in a blue moon they sent the kids on a half mile full speed run around the school yard, for which none were trained.
Yours truly, at that time beanpole skinny in spite of eating as much as I wished, and certainly not shy of play after school (I’d bicycle for miles around) viewed the program as little more than a humiliating curse.
If Barack and Michelle really wanted to volunteer themselves as good cheerleaders for student physical fitness (even though that isn’t in the job description of a president) then Barack would kick the cigarette habit for good, and would find a sports doctor who wasn’t crazy like the rest of his czars to come up with sensible voluntary self paced programs for all levels and stick it up on a DOE web site. And we’d see both Barack and Michelle on TV like the old Jack LaLanne shows (he has enough time to golf while the world burns, so why not this).
When I was in 9th grade, I was a size 3, 100 pound girl and couldn’t pass it. Mostly, because I gave up even trying. I remember the 50 yard dash. Start. The other person was far ahead of me and I barely jogged the rest of the way. Pull ups? Ugh! I have never had good upper body strength. Phys. Ed. just taught to loathe myself all the more.
So what! When I was in grade school through high school I was lousy in gym classes and did not pass their fitness tests. I did, however, complete Marine boot camp in early 1970 and passed all of their physical fitness tests throughout my enlistment. I took extreme pleasure in shoving that in the face of my fat-assed PE coach who said that I would never make it. School PE has long been a farce.
Not my baseball players, who also need a 2.5 GPA to play.
