PE LessonsFor some they may have been the highlight of the school week, but all we remember is a never-ending series of punishments involving inappropriate nudity and climbing up ropes until you wet yourself.
Tell us about your PE lessons and the psychotics who taught them.

All this talk of Cross Country running has reminded meAt high school, we used to have 3 Sports Carnivals a year: Swimming, athletics and Cross Country. The Cross Country carnival was held at the Lane Cove River Park each year. Cross Country running is a) tedious and b) irritating.
As my friends and I got to about year 9 (14 in 1984), we made it more fun. One year, we walked the course. Slowly. I think by the time we ambled across the finish line, we'd been overtaken by at least 4 whole other age races of competitors. We were given a hero's welcome for actually finishing.
Another time, we just kept walking, and ended up at the Macquarie Shopping Centre, so we could have some Maccas (McDonalds for you non-Aussies). That's a walk of about 7km one way. We strolled back for the end of proceedings.
There was also the time in Year 12 when we relocated the long jump pit to the middle of the oval, so we could have a Hawaiian themed beach party, but that's not entirely OT.
