Presidential fitness award from below... Posted on August 1, 2025 at 02:37:11 PM by craig
I definitely have some mixed feelings about PE in schools. It was pretty clear that when I was in school, the primary goal of PE was to "toughen kids up," and to pretty openly encourage the jocks to bully the other kids.
(I wasn't the last kid picked or anything, but I was a skinny kid and a late bloomer in terms of athletic ability. I was probably around the median in terms of performing in PE.)
My kids' experience seems to have been not quite so harsh, but not so radically different, either.
I'd be all for a PE program that was actually about fitness for life, teaching kids the kind of physical/athletic activities they could realistically pursue as adults (so, probably wrestling not so much), and so on.
