[quote=Anonymous]My public elementary school used to have an annual "learn how to ride a bike" day - a ton of parent volunteers would come in and man all the streets around the school. We had to learn basic biking skills, plus the hand signs and rules of the road for bikes. It was a pretty quiet suburb, so I think most kids knew how to ride and had bikes from home. I suspect they would have also had the parent volunteers bring in some extra bikes for those kids who didn't have their own. This was 1983-ish. My private school used to bus us to the local public swimming pool for weekly synchronized swim lessons. It was my idea of hell. The indoor pool was cold and it was just gross. I was only 10 or so, but legitimately got a stomach ache just thinking about it every morning before we went and so I used to sit out most of the time. [/quote]
