When I was in school I used to hide in the bathroom during gym because I found it so meaningless. We could have used that time to study something important like computer science.

Kids need to learn who they are and how they compare to their peers at an early age so that they can begin dealing with the lifetime of inferiority ahead of them.

So they know which kids are fat/wimpy and have the kids who stand a chance at being productive not associate with em' and have their lives ruined by the constant selfish rationalization they'll create for the rest of their miserable lives

it's important to make kids hate physical exercise so that they can grow up really fat, that's why gym class always starts with running in a circle while the teachers chat or w/e even though it would be really easy for a gym teacher to make a fun and engaging lesson plan

Nah seriously OP it's cause you fat and watch tv all day. Uncle Sam wants at least a few able bodied persons to go kill the Browns when required, as well as trying to do something to stave off the obesity epedemic.

Exactly this.

I liked it when the basket/foot/tennis ball always hit me in the face.

Also being made to run laps for talking.

Also being always on the team of skins with shirts vs skins (I think the gym teacher liked seeing my fat tits).

I want to hit you in the face with one of those red dodgeballs that I'm pretty sure have been banned for like 20 years. Those were the best.

What kind of lovely schools did you shut-in idiots go to. We played badminton, cricket, volleyball. It was fun. I can't remember a single individual who didn't enjoy playing dodgeball. There was also a unit in middle school where we followed Billy Blanks exercise tapes and it was hilarious. We had a butch gym teacher make all the boys play field hockey for six months

I had to drop out of gym though because my coach made us do the "strength and conditioning" class

dodgeball owned. it taught me the value of creatively using my resources, ie, using balls as shields until my victims became defenseless so that they could be pegged in the face and/or groin

gym class owned especially when we played cool poo poo like badminton and floor hockey. our roided up gym teacher let the guys body check each other into the padding underneath the basketball hoops during hockey.

middle school was like this but high school gym was horrible, it was all running and aerobics outdoors in Florida while the teacher just hosed off. All the gym teachers at my high school were like this

our gym class was 30 minutes every day and usually the bell rang for the next class while we were changing, nobody showered and I don;t think we were even allowed to. Also they were those big one-room prison group showers so who would want to?

My school arranged it so one term you had a choice of fun things like squash, basketball or badminton and the next it would be something boring and miserable like circuit training or aerobics.

religious education was the only other mandatory class you didn't get a qualification out of.

We had those in middle school. Kids would shower in swim suits more often than not. You didn't have to shower, but it was highly encouraged after you realized how bad running around playing football made you smell on a 90 degree day in Southern GA
