PE is the most hated class in my school because we do lots of running and stretching. The standards of passing that class with an A is too high that only one or two students from the whole class of 50 something people could fulfill.
Push-ups are a killer to all students. Many student's strength aren't strong enough to do 15 push-ups to get an A. Most people could only do 2-3 push-ups. Running is harsh too. For the mile run, the passing grade is 8 minutes (guys) and 10 minutes (girls). Same thing, almost nobody can make it on time. Sadly, George W. Bush is the one who set those standards. Should the standards of PE be a bit lower (or at least based on effort, not how physically strong you are) so that everybody can fulfill it? QUOTE(peggysturr @ Oct 1 2005, 5:45 PM) Most students at the school could only meet the "C" requirementsfor PE. And the "A" in high school is really important for students who wanted to get into a good university.
IT MATTERS. MANY HONORS STUDENTS (like me) GET STRAIGHT A's EXCEPT FOR PE. Academic and social abilities are much more important than physical strength (you don't need to run fast/do push-ups in order to get into a good college, but of course, we need exercisng, but we can decide on how much running/push-ups we can do based on our strength). People from my school take AP courses because they want to bring up their GPAs due to PE. I try my very best in PE, but still my grade isn't good at all. PE grade should be based on your effort, not your physical strength.  This post has been edited by peggysturr: Oct 1 2005, 09:33 PM |

Fortunately, we only have to take P.E. in grade 9. Then it's optionable for 10, 11 and 12. All schools should do that..
And I do think it's ridiculous that they would have such high standards.. But it's not very hard to achieve it. At the end of grade 9, I did 40 push-ups and 100 sit ups, and we had to run 12 minutes and do about 5 laps of the field. The running part was a bitch.. But that's ok if it's in grade 9, because it doesn't matter for university. Only years 11 and 12 count in Canada. |
