Please turn this comment into a story. You’re absolutely correct. I always wondered why PE was done that way — anyone could spend 5 minutes coming up with a better way to help kids get exercise or learn fitness. That’s not the point, though, is it? Man, it backfired for me, though. I didn’t fall in line. I just decided I wanted no part of that particular subculture — which, it’s not too much of a stretch to note — seems to set people up for far-right politics. Holy shit. The politics of dodgeball.
