I hate running with a vengeance and when the retarded gym teachers decide to force us to run the mile after a month of nothing, it makes me so mad. Why the fuck do they do that! Sure the mile may be state-mandated but do you seriously think forcing kids to run a mile in under X amount of time will inspire them to reach their athletic potential? I think not. If anything it would turn those who are somewhat interested away from exercising in general.
Anyways, lately, I have been worrying a lot about running so I decided to do a bit of research on the topic and I came across some very interesting articles. One similarity between the vast majority of them was as follows:
Running SHOULD be fun and enjoyable
Now for some reason, being forced to run the mile to pass gym seems to contradict the above statement. It may be just me, but I think the way they’re doing it now takes any remaining fun from the activity and WILL turn the majority of kids off from the activity forever.
On a lighter note however, the next gym units should be fun, (its all things I like!)
- Volleyball
- Bowling
- Archery
- Floor Hockey
- and then weight room:shock:
