[QUOTE=McNab;39587881]Ultimate frisbee is basically soccer with a frisbee instead of a ball.[/QUOTE] How the fuck does that even work? Did that mean you could throw it and hit someone in the face without getting into trouble? On an unrelated note, am I the only one who done laps [I]while[/I] smoking? It gets interesting when you race people who hate it and blow it in their face while ahead, it's like the squid power-up in Mario Kart.

my pe teacher is a former marine things get quite strenuous
When I was in P.E., we changed, sat down and took role call for 10 minutes, 'ran' (people were mostly walking) around the gym for a few minutes, set up nets or brought out basketball equipment, played for 10 minutes, got changed, and left.
[QUOTE=1LUV;39590883]my pe teacher is a former marine things get quite strenuous[/QUOTE] Fuck that, like most of the teachers from my high school, the PE teacher was a Catholic from the troubles.
P.E was just walking about pretending to play rugby I once got shouted at for hiding in a cabinet in the changing rooms trying to avoid it
[QUOTE=Coffee;39587779]I loved PE, because my group was essentially unfit nerds and the only girls who didn't pick dance, the teacher we had basically let us play tennis, ultimate frisbee and table tennis for 3 years.[/QUOTE] I used to have classes like that, on my last years. The teachers were always huge bros. You could even skip class and sit on the bench, but mostly, they just wanted us to do something, so we played soccer almost every class, which was great.
P.E in the winter Yeah, there's some things I'll never miss.
Our P.E was pretty strenuous, but that doesn't help much when there's only one session or so per week, and most of that is spent with the teacher wanking over the people that had history in sports and leaving everyone else to do the stuff as best as they could without guidance.
My PE teachers always liked me because I was one of the only few students who actually took advantage of PE to work out. Hell, my last year of high school I took a walk for fitness class and just used the whole period to run the whole hour, I'd rather not walk for an hour doing jack shit. But they could do a lot more with PE, the miles seem to be the only thing that require the most amount of physical activity.
[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;39591385]P.E in the winter Yeah, there's some things I'll never miss.[/QUOTE] Our school did a winter camping thing in PE, we got to build shelters out of snow and stuff Just a note: if you forget where you're sleeping and you get up too quickly you'll hit your head on it and collapse it. Did some ice fishing and cross-country skiing too, was great
I like PE, my football coach is the teacher and I can show up whenever I want, and I just do my homework/ type up papers in it. IMO they should just remove PE completely, no one actually exercises in it.
I remember in Year 9 my dance teacher told my parents at parent's evening I was only achieving a level 3 in Dance, which was below the level 5 expected for all Year 9 students. My parent's response was: "Who actually [I]cares[/I]?"

PE is ~physical~ education, no mental involvement. :downs:
I never had "bad" PE in high school (can't remember how it was like before) , we just played dodgeball or floorball. If winter, we went ice skating but as I can't ice skate I pretended I forgot my gear and just took a long walk during the lesson. Even in the military I managed to avoid the really strenuous shit. As I was in an artillery company we had a run every two weeks or so, and a 5am morning run once a week. Basically we did jack shit, only when some officer was watching the NCOs pretended that we had a 10 km run when really we ran only 3 and everyone walked back to the barracks at varying paces.
[QUOTE=Map in a box;39593169]PE is ~physical~ education, no mental involvement. :downs:[/QUOTE] That's kind of a dumb attitude to have (I know it isn't yours, you're being sarcastic) PE shouldn't just be exercise, it should teach you the right way to exercise and how to be healthy
I remember when I still did PE for my GCSE years that I had really terrible health at the time, which basically caused my teacher to treat me badly until I got taken out of the lesson, and spent the time doing homework, reading, or just playing games. When we eventually got a new teacher, my health hadn't really improved, but this teacher was a lot better with it, so I was actually in the lessons, though all I did was help get equipment in and all that sort of stuff. Admittedly, when I did do stuff, I did have some pretty fun times. Like when we played rugby once, I managed to get the ball off of someone, but then got tackled by about 3 people. Luckily, I was right near the try line, so I moved my arms over my head to place the ball behind me, and managed to win the game for the team.
I have tests in PE wtf
[QUOTE=SweetSwifter;39585445]I remember P.E. being quite strenuous here in the Netherlands. We got mandatory shuttle-run tests that you had to pass, a certain distance you had to be able to run within a certain time, push-ups and sit-ups and a whole bunch of other tests you had to pass in order to pass P.E. As long as you showed improvement and effort, you'd usually pass though, even if you didn't meet the exact mark.[/QUOTE] That's how they do it in the states, at least where I went to school.
We also occasionally go to the weight room and lift.
My freshman year P.E. was fairly strenuous. It involves a weight lifting unit, track unit, and varied sports. At one point during the year you are running on the track and then going back and doing stuff like pushups in the weight room in the time you have left. A lot of the running is building you up for the freshman four mile, which is (obviously) a 4 mile run. For the running you where graded on improvement.
PE is pretty worthless at my school you get credit for changing and standing around in the general area that other people were doing shit in. If it required you to actually do anything roughly 90% of the females in my school would have failed it.
I agree, but being forced to take PE in Illinois, I hope it doesn't change. :v:
our school's P.E. curriculum consists of walking down to the bowling alley/going bowling and yoga it's fucking sad
One time in PE; I was forced with my class to play rugby in the snow in our shorts!
[QUOTE=Soleeedus;39594652]our school's P.E. curriculum consists of walking down to the bowling alley/going bowling and yoga it's fucking sad[/QUOTE] Do you go to my school or something
The gym class I had was pointless. Every now and then we had to run a mandatory mile and it was a pass/fail grade. All you had to do was get less than 13 minutes. 13 fucking minutes. Even if I walked I would probably get 10. When I ran, I got around 7, which I don't really care for because I'm not a runner. Really, the only hard thing we did was the constant tests in our swimming course.
[QUOTE=RainbowPillows;39585263]I wonder how US schools compare because I don't remember doing much of anything. Maybe kicking a ball, playing some tennis. What with how fat everyone is getting you'd think by now there would be some mandatory track and push ups or something. You guys are not alone.[/QUOTE] In my school we usually do just about anything football, basketball, badminton, ect and occasionally run the track for a mile. We also have fitness tests. Even then I feel high school PE is worst than middle school PE since we no longer do warm ups.
