[quote=Anonymous]Yes. I'm petite. My parents were pretty nerdy, so they didn't watch sports and also didn't know how to play them. I remember in about 3rd grade, we played softball that month for PE. I was the only person in the entire grade who couldn't hit a baseball/softball. They brought the tee out for me. But even after I hit it, I didn't really understand the game. The whole thing was pretty embarrassing.

The worst was the Presidential Fitness awards. Nearly every boy got the blue ones, but not one girl got the blue one. You had to be able to do pull ups to get the blue one. I was actually the best runner in the class and also had the class record for sit ups, but I couldn't do a pull up. I'm still so angry at how we were set up to fail. And it's not like they worked on our muscles so that we could gain enough muscle to do a pull up.

I grew up to love the gym, sports like tennis and dancing (DH and I compete). PE is just a mess in my opinion.

My dad talked about getting failed in PE because he couldn't climb the rope in gym class. And my mom talked about having to strip naked and take a shower in front of the PE coaches. Seems like PE has always had issues.[/quote]
