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.

Stuff and nonsence!I have to say I disagree. Not everyone is sporty. Not everyone is academic either, but in every other subject except PE, the ‘less able kids’ are streamed out into groups that are appropriate to their ability. As such, they don’t get ribbed during class about being crap at Maths, English etc . Yet for some reason, in PE, there is no streaming and everyone has to pitch in together. This usually means that the sporty kids, who are generally the ones who aren’t so bright at academic subjects, can make life hell for the non sporty ones. The teachers seem to support this behaviour by shouting ‘more effort’ and other useless shite. It was never about effort, it was about ability.
Can you imagine a Maths lesson where everyone has to line up so the thick ones can be ritually humiliated in front of the whole year group? It wouldn’t happen! Yet for some reason it still seems acceptable in PE as the Team Captains pick sides. You can’t make a kid switch on to Geography by shouting “put some effort in”. PE teachers need to realise their lessons can mentally scar pupils for life, and turn kids away from physical activity. They need more thought put into PE lessons to appeal to everyone, and not just expect you to run about on a cold muddy field for the sake of it. As you can tell, I was one of those who hated PE lessons, and still, 20 years after leaving school, can’t stand the sight of a football.

Well said, that personAfter I left school 20 years ago, I promised myself I would never play football again. To this day, I have kept that promise.

Maybe this was the case 20 years agoBut I only left school just over 3 years ago and when I was there we had PE setted like other classes. Set one was full of the kids who liked sport and were good at it. Set 2 was full of the kids who were ok or put some effort in and set 3 was full af the shit, lazy or fat kids. See they got it right in the end.
