Title: How do people get a bad grade in gym?
Post by: Daddy on March 15, 2008, 09:47:43 PM
I don't see how it's possible to not do well in gym unless you skip class or just sit there.   You don't even have to be good at what you're doing, as long as you participate you'll pass.

I don't see any excuse for sucking at gym, unless you're like felt and have an abundance of medical problems.

is gym required in college :'(

Not all regions follow the same standards. My school only required you to change clothes, but others may judge by performance.

My school didn't include gym in the GPA calculation since it was pretty much a guaranteed A if you just participated.

If I could pass gym, why couldn't Felt?

Anyways, I took PE in middle school. In High School, band counted as PE credit because of marching band. It also counts as fine arts, too. <3

Good. That should provide some nice padding for my grade next year, seeing as though I never skip class. Now if only they had AP gym...

Gym is pretty much a freshman class at my school, then there is Advanced Gym.

Well, let's see dressing out is only half the points in my gym class and I only got two points during the days we were playing shit that that I can't do, like basketball, baseball, and kickball, so that's why I have like 65% in gym.

I failed the written PE final and I still got an A in the class.

All you have to do is try or at least pretend to try, it's the easiest class to get an A in.

It's not an actual AP course.
Plus, the audit should have removed these courses from view.

That may be true, but the pool is almost always freezing plus my hair gets all frizzy after I've been swimming for two damn weeks.

That wouldn't happen if you would wash your hair every once in a while.

I passed Gym with a fucking D because the actual "physical" part wasn't even 50% of our grade. If it were, I would've had an A.
My gym class, 9th and 10th, we had worksheets and projects like fucking crazy. And we had a grad standards project where we had to write our own fitness plan based on our usual physical activity. And our teacher's directions were so vague, it was nearly impossible to please that lesbian bitch.

My school changed the rules on that so not changing won't take away that many points, and you actually have to put a lot of effort to get an A, which is impossible for the average student. :(

I do dress out. psyduck; Thankfully since it's the last class of the day she doesn't mind if we wear our normal shirts so I just wear my shorts under my pants and take my pants off when I get to the gym.

In my gym class most of our mark was based on these stupid reflections we had to write. And then we had to read articles on how to stay healthy and answer questions on them. I did okay, but I really didn't care about the course at all so my mark wasn't great or anything. In retrospect, I could easily have gotten a better mark, because I'm pretty sure our teacher never actually read anything and based your mark entirely on how much you wrote. My friend more or less confirmed this by putting "I am writing this sentence because I feel like it" in the middle of his final report: the teacher didn't even comment on it.

One guy failed, but his record for attendance was three days in a row so it was understandable.
