<p>I was wondering if anyone has a good way to get out of gym, Doctor note or something. But what kind of doctor</p>
<p>My sport season is coming to a close so I technically have to go back to gym. I work out everyday and am in really good shape. I would just rather have time to study instead of this stupid class.</p>
<p>You can’t, as far as I know…i deal with the same thing. Play hockey 5-6 times a week, can’t get out of gym even though I’m a walking zombie during school.</p>
<p>You need to talk to your school. No one can answer this for you- different places do it differently. Where I went to high school (entire county), nobody could get out of PE, not even if you were playing a sport. Even if you were injured, you still had PE, but had to do alternative activities (worksheets).</p>
<p>take weightlifting and then don’t work out on your own time.</p>
<p>there isnt nearly enough time in a class period to lift, plus i dont want to sweat all day</p>
<p>@mikenan15 how long are your PE periods? Last year, I had weight-lifting as a class for half the year, 82 minutes every other day. I stopped going to the gym during that time (I still played hockey 5 times a week) and used the class time as my new “gym” time. It wasn’t quite the same, but it gave me more time for HW after school since I wasn’t using that later time to workout before hockey. </p>
<p>You’re really just going to have to tough it out. Gym class, at least in my school, is a lot of fun. It is kind of relaxed because some kids aren’t the most athletic, so those who are get to play non-competitively in whatever game they want to. I was usually playing ultimate frisbee, a game I really only get to play at or right after school. </p>
<p>its only like 30 after u get changed</p>
<p>Just deal with it then! 30 minutes isn’t that much time wasted over the course of a day…</p>
<p>Yea haha thats what I have to do I guess. Just was thinking their are a lot more productive things I could be doing instead.</p>
<p>Yes, well, unless your school offers an alternative program, you’re stuck. My school offers Marching Band for Band students who can’t take PE (people who don’t do band or play non-marching instruments do Colorguard), but that’s about it; and it’s a seventh period that takes up 3 hours each practice (two to three times a week, so a total of 6-7 hours a week). PE is a graduation requirement for most schools–even if you’re physically unable to do anything, you’d still have to take the course.</p>
<p>I was able to “test out of” a gym class by exercising on my own and logging the hours, but I’m still not sure why my school allowed it. </p>
<p>My sons’ school had a relationship with BYU online where one could self study classes like bowling and tennis to get PE credits. It opened up space in my sons schedule so he could take a couple of electives.</p>
<p>I had to deal with this and had no online options. I got a note from my physical therapist. I have to do written work for gym, but it’s pretty easy to finish fast & then I have more free time for actual schoolwork
