[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 282671, member: 179"] I had a 'mini rebellion' in college over PE. (I pick and chose my battles wisely....not.) When I went to college, you were required to take some sort of PE class every semester. Ummm...I'm sorry, but I'm not paying all this money to learn a sport. I don't have a scholarship, parents who pay...just me. I want to LEARN about subjects I'm gravitating towards. Fast forward 2 years. I had a 4.0 gpa, but had not met the requirements for PE. Geez. I failed one required class, PE for the Elementary Teacher, because the instructor changed her grading structure well into the class. I had more important things to spend my time on so I ended up fighting it with the Dean and won. I got a C. The truce was me lifegaurding at the college pool to earn my credits. Didn't mind, was already a lifeguard so it was a good compromise. I understand the importance of physical activity, although I choose not to partake. Wait...I'm going to walk to the mini-mart to buy a pack of cigs. Does that count? It's 1.5 miles each way. Abbey [/QUOTE]
