[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an immigrant. What does it mean to "get cut for high school sport"? What do those kids do for PE?[/quote]

Also an immigrant and here's what my experience has been.

In early elementary school, my kid played organized soccer with a bunch of kids from his school. One of the parents organized it.

Starting in third grade, kids "tried out" for soccer teams. Some kids (at eight years old!!) were not accepted on to the teams. Kids have to try out again every year and the coaches can reject them.

Kids get PE in school until late middle school, but it's not all the time. In my kid's school, they have PE every day for a couple of months and then that slot switches up and they get art or music at the same time (instead of one day art, one day music, one day PE ... etc, which is how this was done where I am from).

My child is active but not athletically talented. He likes sports and he likes to be active but he did not want to participate in organized school sports because he didn't think he'd get much playing time and/or was worried they would not let him play. [/quote]
