<p>Just wondering.</p>
<p>Unless your school is really wack I don't really see how people here with brains bigger than Jimmy Neutron occasionally struggle with Gym, even if you're not a D1-recruited athlete.</p>
<p>skip class probably.</p>
<p>Some people are allergic to work.</p>
<p>Never study the rules of volleyball.</p>

<p>My lowest grade ever in high school is from Health & P.E. in 9th grade.
It was a 94, and I had close to a 100 average, but I had to take the exam and I made like a 70 on it.
It was a 100 question multiple choice test on pretty much STD’s and drugs.
God, I hated it.</p>
<p>Teachers giving out grades based on performance and not effort.
My teacher gave everyone in gym an 85 or higher even if they did nothing, if you tried you’d get at least a 95</p>
<p>If the gym teacher grades objectively(which is the case in most high schools), a student would do poorly if they don’t get dressed for gym, or chew gum, have jewelry on, stuff like that…</p>
<p>If the gym teacher grades subjectively, the student’s probably not trying at all, and it’s obvious to the teacher.</p>
<p>My school tried PE exams. Failure.</p>
<p>**EDIT: i wasn’t the failure, the idea of exams were.</p>
<p>Well in my P-Fit class, we would have to write reports, take tests/quizzes (at least one every week), do weights, and more. I’m not saying it was a hard class, but if you didn’t hand in one/two of your reports, you basically wouldn’t pass the class. Some people actually failed and since they got rid of P-Fit this year, they would have to take another two PE classes, which couldn’t have been fun. The teacher who taught that would give people in his class a range of grades, from As to a failing grade. That was just him, though. I heard that the other teachers gave pretty much everybody As, but I had him all Freshman year and for P-Fit, so I never had any experience with the other teachers.</p>
<p>Lol I NEVER showed up to gym. I got a B.</p>
<p>I have never taken a gym class in high school, but I heard that in tennis this year, the teacher only gave them one grade for the whole semester. So, basically if he gave you a 50% for “Participation”, the grade on your high school transcript for “Tennis (10-12)” would be an F.</p>
<p>It all depends on the teacher at my school.</p>
<p>Teacher 1 (the one i had freshman year) gives grades on a -5 basis starting @ 95.
Therefore, the max score you can achieve is a 95 if you are perfect. Due to like 1-2 90’s, my avg was a 93.44 which didn’t round to a 94 lol.</p>
<p>Teacher 2 grades on performance. For example, let’s say the sport of the 6-week period is volleyball. He would give you 10 balls and tell you to serve. Every ball you miss is -10. Therefore, If you make 8/10, u get an 80% for volleyball. Hence, most of the girls failed.</p>
<p>Teacher 3 is a fat old lady that if she likes you, u get an 100 no matter what :p</p>
<p>we had to run half a mile everyday. i always walked half of it</p>
<p>My gym teachers told us all the highest grade they give is a 90…</p>
<p>My teacher would take off points off of your participation grade for not dressing out (-5), not completing warmups (-.5 for each one), not doing warmups (-4), or being late to warmups (-1 for each minute). Then, we had weekly tests and quizzes. We had a report on a random sickness or phobia (I had OCD) and we had a 100 question final exam. Lastly, we had fitness tests at the end (had to run a mile, a certain number of pushups, situps, crunches, etc.) I exempted the final exam and was the best PE student that semester (got a 100 final).</p>
<p>Gym is filled with big idiots who skip class and/or just take it so that they can say they did something. In my district, it’s filled with gang members.</p>
<p>I’ve known plenty of nerds who hated (and failed) gym because of those types of kids.</p>
<p>In middle school, as long as we got dressed in the uniform, we earned an A. After I graduated middle school, the curriculum changed. My younger brother told me he was graded on his performance over time. The gym teachers wanted to see improvement over time, but at the end, he had to be perfect. They also added courses like a dance unit with square dancing, ballroom dancing, and Michael Jackson dancing. I’m glad I left when I did!</p>
<p>In most of my high school gym classes, we earned an A by dressing appropriately (uniform, tennis, visible socks, no jewelry), not chewing gum, and for showing some effort. Then, we had written assignments each month that were graded for accuracy and midterms and finals. We earned less than A if we didn’t do well on the written assignments, if we stood around talking to our friends, or if we didn’t dress.</p>
<p>In the gym class in my private school (which was done in the parking lot or at the field down the street because we didn’t have a gym, but that’s beside the point), we earned an A for dressing appropriately, which means coming to school in our gym uniform with our hair tied back, tennis shoes, and no jewelry. We also had to participate 100%. If we ever had an activity, like running laps around the school, where the gym teacher couldn’t see us, and we walked, other teachers would leave their classrooms and tell the gym teacher, and we would fail for the day. We also had to succeed at everything. If we couldn’t touch our toes, the gym teacher would put his weight on our back until we learned to touch our toes. If we couldn’t run 5 laps around the school consecutively, he would make us run more laps to make us learn to do it right the first time. The list goes on, but basically, if we didn’t get it 100% in a certain time frame, we failed.</p>
<p>They don’t dress. I’m in summer school right now [Honors Precalc] and people have summer school gym… LOL.</p>
<p>Some high school gym teachers at my school also assign essays.</p>
