The environment of Physical Ed may not be the best for every student due to the behavior of their peers, and the choice of sports and activities at some schools can be quite limited.

However, physical exercise is good for the body, that is a physiological fact.
Exercise is also extremely good for the relief of stress and can be fun when you find something you enjoy.

As a teacher of Physical Ed it dissapoints me when a student does not like or enjoy anything we do. As sport and exercise is an awesome thing, but everyone needs to find the activity that suits them. Unfortunately the environment in which I work doesnt enable me to have 100% success with every student as much as I'd like and in this instance I would feel I have failed that student. Fortunately I have not had a student who has not liked any of the sports/activities I have taught them, although I have had some who only like 1 thing.

There are other factors that do make students hate Physical Ed, wearing shorts and a T-shirt in front of their classmates can be percieved as very embaressing by some for what ever reason. Numerous psycological reasons.

So what?? Not everyone likes PE! I HATED PE at school, but I've always loved sports!

I always did my best to avoid PE, in the end the threat of leaving school at 15 if I had to another single PE lesson persuaded the school to let me 'legaly' skip the lessons.

I always did everything I could to skip P.E too: I'd forget my kit, I'd say I was feeling asthmatic, etc. to the point where my PE teacher had to call my parents and I also got Ds on my report. Some people just don't like it and I can see why!

P.S. Moving this to health and relationships as I think it's more suited there? Not sure though.

I love sport, but PE sucked at my school. 10 mins of the 35 was spent getting changed into and out of kit. Then 5 mins of getting a lecture from the stoopid PE teacher. Then 20 mins of jumping over wooden things and climbing ladders. What a waste of time :frown:

I LOVED P.E.

It always used to frustrate the hell out of me when the girls in my class just couldn't be arsed. It really ruined team sports, for a start.

PE = different to games. twas at my school anyway

Loved PE. Except gym. The moment the "horse" made contact with my balls was the day I decided not to be an acrobat. :dong:

PE was great at school... the one lesson I didn't like that much was gym because the hall was so cold, and rolling around on a mat whilst my extremeties began to die wasn't fun.

Ahhhh mat rolling...

I was like the last girl in class to learn how to do a proper roll; when I tried and it didn't work the mean PE teacher rudely pushed me over. Was scary!

:rofl:

And then I remember one day I didn't have a partner in gym, the teacher became my partner. Most embarrassing thing ever! :redface:

one aspect of PE is pretty fun at my school. they have this program called "project adventure" ( :rolleyes:

) at my school where the objective is to get the students to trust their classmates. example activity: making them climb up the side of the school (a rockwall)blindfolded with only their classmates giving them directions on where to put their hands/foot etc. next and having a classmate balay them.

My worse experience in PE was when I got cockey and angry, some people kept taking the mick becuase I was crap, so I thought right I will show you what I can do, so I kicked the ball in my own goal, one of the thugs got so annoyed me tripped me up, I sprained my ankle and was on cluthces(sp) for two weeks after wards.

I also got pushed into the girls changing rooms once, that surprisingly wasn't a nice experience either. I always much prefered messing about with solder, creating databases and learning about human settlement.

Surely PE was invented to give thickos something to feel proud about? If you're not thick and you enjoy it, thats just a bonus.

You may partly have a point, in one of my PE lessons when I kept getting bullied my teacher went mad and basicaly said they may be able to kick a ball around but thats all your good for. That made me feel a lot better, being good with computers is much more practicle than being able to kick a ball around, unless your're Beckham.

Stupid teachers didn't understand that not everyone wants to play rugby/football all the time. Why didn't I think of just endlessly scoring own goals :smile:

. I couldn't play football to save my life. And the teachers saying that I had to do games because it was a legal requirement to provide exercise for students or something was stupid as
a)I was 5 foot 9 and 7.5 stone (BMI safely in the underweight zone I think) so it wasn't like I was going to go hideously overweight if I didn't do games.
b) I was in a running club outside school where I got plenty of exercise anyway.
In my year 11 report the games teacher wrote "Failure to participate could seriously EFFECT his personal development". Says it all really.

I used to go to the gym instead : /

Or do karate.

Never really cared about team sports.
