What was so horrible about gym class?

 

[Evadig]

I never had gym class cause I was homeschooled. But I did play volleyball by throwing the ball against the side of the house (that was the other team). Volleyball and soccer are the only two team sports you can play alone with your imagination for the other team.

That would depend on your imagination.
When I was in high school my neighbor was our schools quarterback.
He truly thought he was God's gift to football. We had lots of kids in the neighborhood but his arrogance and demeaning attitude made it so no one enjoyed playing backyard football if he was around.
For a couple of years he played all by his lonesome. Just him and his football. He would play QB throwing the ball straight up in the air then switch to receiver catching the ball. Sometimes he would play a running back breaking tackles. Other times he would be offense stopping a big play or blocking a kick.
I never got into sports and especially football but he made it easy to follow his games because he also played announcer doing constant play by plays.

This is getting bad.
At my school all the girls had to do basic home economics stuff - sewing a seam (useful), making a buttonhole, cooking something (I forget what now).
Then, later in the year some of us (including me) did math and science stuff, and the other girls did what? I don’t truly know, but we always said it was learning how to get in and out of a sports car without showing your underwear.

Mrs Chicken-tender here. When I was in high school we could only wear dresses to school, here in Northern Michigan. Winter was exhilarating to say the least. And the dresses were not short enough to show your undies unless you were doing high kicks

People are definitely more polite in the South. Before I moved to Louisiana I rarely heard Sir/Ma’am. When I got down there I was amazed to be addressed as such. Here on the Middle East Coast it depends on who you talk to.

My wife's from Kentucky and she had to get used to the ms, mam, baby, hun/honey, doors being held open etc. It concerned her so much she quit her first job here as a cashier for a gas station. She wanted to find something with less interaction

I hated "Gym", and the uniforms we had to wear.

You would have loved our 9th grade gym class at Handy High in Bay City, Mi. We had pool all 2nd semester. All guys, naked, in November and December. They may have heated the pool area, but none of us knew it!
