[quote=Anonymous]My kids are pretty engaged in middle school PE—they do play the sports and get some exposure. Pickle ball, archery, weightlifting and volleyball were all popular, and my son liked flag football too (but my daughters hate it). Soccer and basketball were all hated because the skill differential is too large—if you’re good, it’s boring and if you’re bad, it’s embarrassing to be bad at a sport so many kids are really good at. I think one problem is that the classes aren’t gender divided, and so there are definite issues with the boys pushing out the girls in some soports. That’s one of the biggest complaints I hear. For HS, I also think the kids seem pretty engaged in the yoga or weightlifting classes they can choose, at least. The big problem seems to be ES — they should have PE at least 3x week, not once.
