I think if all your classes are worth more, than it should be worth the same, at least when there is no choice to take a higher course, or pay money to take a higher course
I think that it shouldn't. Physical Education is a whole different thing than say, Algebra or Art History. Most people know how to kick a ball or use a baseball bat, but many are not good at it. In my schools, you are required to take PE for freshman year, and after that it is optional. I think thats okay, but I would prefer for it to begin being optional in high school.
I think it should be attempts/participation minded like it is for us

However, a grade should be based on what you learn, and PE grades are based upon participation, not wh..."Yes, also in my school, it's graded on how fast we run, how good our volleyball serve is, etc. It's not really fair.

i dont think it should because alot of people arent good at it alot of kids in my school cant do twenty push ups i cant eather though
where graded on what we can do there push ups springs lung squats sit ups and jumping jacks
No. How is it really relevant? If you're late for work, you can always run because gym in school prepared you for it? Haha--no.
No. It's a basic subject but not included in the must-passed-list for SPM exam. Which is why, during Physical Education, we play much more than learning. And the teachers are fine with it which make us fine with them.
i would love to go to your school then we have to do 40 minets of work outs and 15 of basketball or volly ball
:o That sucks. I mean, I don't want to do that. But sometimes having PE here sucks to because it's so hot here and it makes me hot.
lol where do you live if you dont mind me asking
umm i do.t know where that is but okay... i live in mississippi
:O I know that! OK, need to stay on topic. ;)
you know where i live *screems* stalker :-P eh i dont think it should i mean why do you really need it
Personally,It depends on what you mean.
First- If it is based on your athletic skill, PLEASE GOD NOOOOO. T.T
Second- If it is based on effort, then sure, count it. Even though that means I could possibly fail.
Mod
Really? That's cool!

I just meant in general
Meh......If i had to pick a side in that case, I would go with no :P
HOWEVER, at my school, the required class is Health/Gym, where we do Health class and GYM. In that case, I say yes.
Mod
Ya, freshman is the last year you are REQUIRED to take Gym. So as of last December, I am free from that stuff!
Mod

No way. Otherwise, my GPA of 4 goes plop!
wait its a grade point verage .Whups.
Well, since I am almost in middle school. Our Gym class is a "special" I think we should get graded on our fitness tests ONLY. Cuz it isnt really cool if your graded on games.
Mod
The only reason I have an A in Phys Ed is because there are literally about a hundred kids in that class, and three teachers. They can't look into all of us.
Third is awful. I crave alternate days when I get study hall third period. But I guess it's better than another time...
Ugh, I hate PE. I just makes me feel more awkward than I already am...It would be awful if your PE grade effected major things like your GPA. I'm usually an A average, but last year I got a D+ in PE.
Mod
No, well it depends. If the student is legitely trying they whould get crdit on how well you try not on how well you are doing actively
I know at my school, a boy who participates all the time and is really good got a B., and a girl in my grade who talks in the outfield and does really participate as much as him got a A-. The boy, Heath, has a bit of an atitude, but everyone in my grade has one!
no i don't think it should because a lot of people now of days have a issues with coordination and/or not very good at sports which means that their talents in a certain subject will be overshadowed
My best friend really dislikes gym cause whenever she makes a mistake, most of our peers yell at her or make fun of her. At my school, in high school, you have to take gym your sophmore and freshman year, so she can't wait until her juniour year which means no gym!!

Exactly! Also, females are looked down upon. So even if a guy makes the same mistake a girl does, the guy gets an "oh well" and the girl gets a "What the heck? You can't do anything!"
