<p>What are high school gym/health classes like? is it hard to get an A? I've heard a friend of mine who is in high school saying because she couldn't run fast enough, she was not getting an A. I'm doomed, i run slow and jump low! :( (I'll be in high school soon.)</p>
<p>Really? Our class is simple: show up in your gym clothes and try your best (or look like you’re trying) and youll get an A+.</p>
<p>My gym class is similar. We just do play different sports in “units” and if you wear your gym clothes and participate, then you have a 100. The exam (at my school, 10% of the overall grade) was 20 questions, true/false, on the rules of sports. It’s totally not a big deal.</p>
<p>Don’t take high school gym
It’s pathetic
You won’t get anywhere socially if you are in gym. Take dance, join a REAL sport. Everyone has a talent or can learn a sport.
But gym? Gym is lame
And no offense but at my school no one but loser pot smoking nose picking lazy acne faced losers are in gym. Maybe it’s different at your school.
Please stay clear from kids that choose to do p.e
A sport is waaaaaay more healthy, fun, social and rewarding for college</p>
<p>^ Many schools require gym or health even if you are in sports. Like my HS- I’m in 2 sports but I need an additional 3 gym credits in order to graduate. Or I could spend $300 per credit for online gym over the summer…</p>
<p>Online gym??!! That sounds counter intuitive.</p>
<p>I think it depends on the teacher. My school has about 5 gym teachers, one will give you a B if you’re a girl(an a if you change once a week or so), one will give you an A if you change almost daily and try, one will almost never give an A no matter how hard you try/how often you change, and the other two are new. All teachers are different, but normally if you put in effort you’ll do well.</p>
<p>I’ve always been surprised when someone gets less than an A in gym at my school. The only way to achieve that is to basically… not show up. You only take gym if you’re not doing a sport and/or are taking health, cpr, or driver’s ed. In this way, I was able to avoid taking it both my freshman & sophomore year because I played two sports and then took health during the trimester I did not.</p>
<p>Plus, it’s super low-key. If you’re not the workout type, you make an informal workout card and follow it however strictly or loosely as you want to.</p>
<p>And don’t listen to people like Breadance94 who speak purely from experience/spite. The idea that only “losers” do gym is totally new to me… Especially since there are kids that simply don’t CARE for sports, just like there are kids that don’t care for learning an instrument, or participating in a play, among a variety of things. At my school where everyone is a perfectly respectable human being, there is no STIGMA to doing gym. In fact, most of the athletes, when they aren’t taking the time playing a sport, take it quite seriously.</p>
<p>Anyway, she/he needs to relax. It’s just gym class.</p>
<p>Our gym is basically pass/ fail, it doesn’t affect our GPA, although we do get a grade out of 100 in it. It’s a joke though, and we have to take gym and health even if we’re in sports…</p>
<p>Gym is required in IL…</p>
<p>You can exempt if you are in a sport, and it doesn’t affect GPA.</p>
