        Mostly the kids dragged each other through hammer swings on a wheel board while I listened to the teacher while they talked about their miscarriage and cried

        It’s objectively true. PE class only makes people disgusted by sport. All PE teachers are terrible, do nothing while students run aimlessly on a track with no training at all, turn a blind eye to rampant bullying (if they aren’t directly complicit), then give grades seemingly at random. It took me 8 years after leaving high school to figure out that I actually enjoy sports if I have proper training and the people around me aren’t all bullies.

      Ugh, I get that. I’m only just now building a workout routine, almost a decade after school. And I’m only just now learning what a rep even is, and why you should stretch before and after workouts. What a waste of time and energy PE was.

        Weight lifting is not something that most health experts recommend for children. We had a weight room in my middle school but you really need close supervision for good form and to reduce injuries. That level of individual coaching is hard to get at public schools.

        That’s why they focus on cardio and team sports.
